Long awaited update..............

I really need to get better at updating my blog. I spend way too much time on Facebook. Now I've missed over 6 months of things that have gone on in our home and with our cute little guy. So here is my attempt to be better at updating in the New Year. Ashton sure LOVES the snow. He goes out and plays in it every chance he gets. Not like his mother. I rather be inside where its warm. Must get that part from his canadian father. He can spend an hour in our back yard just digging around and exploring. Ashton and Clare made this silly snowman last week.....Ashton was so proud of it. Nate, my grandson, and Ashton also love sledding. I'm sure we have lots more snow to come.

Happy News Years to all my loved ones near and far. I hope that 2010 brings better things to everyone. 2009 has been a struggle for many. I know that with family and friends I have been able to keep my chin up and my sights straight ahead. No use making myself sick over the past even though that is what I tend to lean towards.

Happy Easter!

Ashton enjoyed his Easter. It is getting more and more fun to do these things with him. He gets so excited and he really makes me and Clare laugh. We love his preception of things. We spent dinner with Derick, Breanne and the kids. Doesn't that sound funny. I never would have believed Breanne would have had "kids". I had begun to think that I would have 1 grandchild. This was the first Easter without Jake for me. He had Easter with his girlfriends family. It is always sad when your children grow up and have lives of their own. But with all the little ones around me, I will get to do all the fun things over again. So I get the best of both worlds.

Ashton at Cheanne's Birthday

My funny boy. I think he had a great time. Actually I know he did because he didn't want to go home. All morning, before we went, he kept asking me if he was going to get to have ice cream and cake. It looks like it is pretty exciting to be 3.

Precious Grandbabies

More pictures of my beautiful grandbabies.

My Boy, Ashton

I think my boy looks alittle bit like his mom.

Ashton, age 3

Teri, age 3

Our Beautiful Twins

Life brings us such wonderful things when we least expect them.

My grandbabies, aren't they precious.

The day they were born, I thought they both looked most like Derick. But as the days go by, I see more and more of Breanne in them.

This picture of Ariana really looks like Breanne

Here are a couple of pictures that I have of the little ones. I don't have very many yet. I always forget to take my camera to Breanne's house. I need to remember more often.

Disney On Ice

Ashton went to Disney On Ice for the first time. I bought the tickets a month in advance and it was all Ashton could talk about. Everytime he saw the commericals or heard it on the radio, he reminded us he was going there. He was very excited about taking Trax 'the train' downtown. It was a nice day. Ashton was very into it. He sat and watched the whole thing with no problems. We took Nate too for part of his birthday. I really can't believe Nate just turned 11. Makes grandma feel old.

NEW BABIES!!!!

Happy Mama!

Little Gabriel

What an exciting day! Breanne looked so good before and after. I am soooo proud of her. Her babies are beautiful. Words could not even begin to explain how I feel. Grandma's heart is full.

Breakfast at the Stark's

We went to see Dannielle's family before they headed back home. It was a very nice get together. Ashton loved it. It was nice to see everyone.

She's getting BIGGER.................

December 28th..........Breanne is getting soooooo big and she has 2 months to go.

Ashton Turns 3

Ashton's birthday party. I can't believe he is three already. He picked out his own cake.

Christmas 2008

Ashton was really, really excited about Christmas this year. He was so fun to watch and everytime he opened a present he said, " Wow, this is what I really wanted." It was so funny. Ashton got his robot that "Santa" brought him.
