Garage Sale Day with Kyndall

Kyndall wouldn't let me help her carry her garage sale finds into the house.  This is a box of tea set items.  I will let her help me wash them before we play with them.

We are styling on our way to the Garage sales.  I do not wear sunglasses very often. 

Kyndall is using her ironing board as her table for the tea set goodies.  It is a perfect height for her to stand and play. I am going to keep my eyes out on a little table and chairs for the grandchildren. 

 

Baby Lane

Baby Lane is adorable!  Brody and Savannah are the proud parents of this handsome little guy. Lane looks so much like Brody/  Although I do see his moma in him as well. 

Proud Gramps!  Luther's eyes sure light up every time baby Lane comes to visit us.  I wish  we could see all the grandbabies every single day.  This little man is already growing up so fast! 

Being a grandma is the best feeling in the world. 

Little Lane sure is growing up way to fast! 

 

Mexican Casserole Recipe

This casserole has to be our all time favorite.  It is always a big hit for our children when they come to visit us.  

We tend to make it a little different each and every time we cook it.  I like to add black olives to it as well.  Where Luther likes to add whole corn to his when he makes the casserole. 

I really need to find some new casserole recipes to try on the weekends.  Seems like lately we are eating the same ole things every singe week.  It gets easy to get in a food rut.  Luther and I do have way different taste in food.  So sometimes it is hard to find something we both agree on to try.

If you have a favorite casserole recipe please send it to me.  Would love to try a new recipe to us. 

 

Tyler living abroad

My brother is living his best life abroad.  There is no way I could do this bike adventure in the air. Oh my gosh looks fun but I would be so scared.  I would have to pass on this adventure.  

This young man has been a role model for so many in our small community.  

I see Tyler as a brave soul who will do whatever it takes to make his goals.  I am so lucky to call him my brother.  He never stops studying.  For his job he has to learn the language as well as the culture.  I do think Tyler is one of the smartest young men I know personally.  

 

Ryan and Brooklyn's baby shower

Ryan and Brooklyn opening their gifts in front of these beautiful stained glass crosses. They received so many great items. 

This was my very first baby shower that was a Bbq themed.  The food was great! They had hamburgers and hotdogs, chips and all the fixings for the hamburgers.  All sort of drinks, the sweet tea was so very good.  Then for dessert they had brownies with nuts and with out nuts. I must say they were delish!

I have been around Ryan all his life and was honored to be invited to their shower.

The table setting was cute for a Bbq setting. 

The shower was held in Ada Oklahoma. About 2 hours away from us. We stayed about 3 hours. 2 hours for the shower then we visited with Ryan and others for a hour.  Went with Tammie and Mildred. Was a great Saturday evening!  

 

My cousin Daisy loves the 4th of July! 

Mike and Daisy

Daisy sure is looking tired.  I know she  had covid not too long ago.  She is my special cousin who lives in a women's group home.  Mike is her care giver and had done a remarkable job.  He goes and gets her quite a lot to spend time with extended family. 

 

OKC Zoo Day

Mae Mae posing for picture for grampy since he couldn't come with us. I hadn't been to the zoo in years.  They have changed everything about the zoo.  I picked up a map but couldn't get it figured out.. Silly me!  I must say I was very impressed with all the changes.  I do know we didn't see everything, but we just ran out of time.  

Mellissa and Kyndall.  Baby girl's eyes light up with joy looking at all the animals and birds. 

Here Mae Mae is waving and talking to the birds. So very cute.

Loved watching her expressions with the animals.

We really enjoyed the Giraffe feeding. Liked how close we was to them. Nothing like being up front with these beauty majestic animals. 

Then the famous selfie from me. It wasn't as hot as I thought it was going to be.  Had a slight overcast off and on during the day.  Which helped this grandma a lot!! 

Now I must make plans to take Aaron's family to the zoo soon! I know Clifford will get a huge kick out of it.
