Cowgirl for the day!

Hee Ha! We took Julia to the Fort Worth Stock Show today. She loved looking at all the animals. She petted many of the animals and even rode a pony for the first time. We had such a great time. Valerie did not get to go because she has been sick. So we made her an honorary cowgirl when we got home.

Day at the Museum

Julia and I brought her Mom and her PawPaw to the museum with us yesterday. We didn't really want to but we had a hard time getting rid of them. She loved it. You see George goes to the museum so she wanted to be just like Curious George. She loved seeing the big dinosaur. "Roar Grandma"
Her Mom was handy to have around when it came around to digging in the sand.

She was a little nervous with the dinosaur looking over her shoulder but she thought it was funny. We will definitly go again soon. There was so much to see.

I Love Date Night

Who knew that my girls date nights would be my favorite. I got to keep both grandbabies while the girls had date nights with their husbands. Don't know where they went, don't care, I had the most fun with Julia and Valerie. Valerie is now 8 months old and is so much fun. I have a big basket of toys that she loves searching through for just the right toy. Of course, everything goes straight for her mouth. It was fun watching them play together.

Julia got out the Baby Einstein Puppet and made him talk for Valerie. Julia likes to play games that are way to active. We had to play hide and seek, trick or treating, night night and walking the baby. I snuck in a game of colors and shapes. We ended the evening watching Snow White. She knows exactly when the witch is coming and she hides under the covers. So cute!!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

I can not believe it is the year 2010. Thank God for these two precious granddaughters to keep me young.

First Trip to the Movies

Julia and I went to see Princess and the Frog. She laughed at funny parts. She said "Oh No" at bad guys and she laid her head on my shoulder during drama. She ate her popcorn and then asked for more. The funniest part was when the movie started she keep looking around for where all the sound was coming from. At the very end she put her hand up to her mouth and said "They kissed." It was great fun!

Finally Christmas at Grandma's House

This year our family had many Christmas' apart before we got to have Christmas together at Grandma's house with Julia and Valerie.

On Monday the Hansen and Zimmerer families came over and Julia enjoyed opening every ones presents.

On Tuesday we went to Valerie's house to watch her open her Santa Christmas Presents. She was so cute and loved playing with every toy.
Then on Wednesday, Baby Valerie left for Tennessee with her Grandparents Cantrell. She enjoyed being the little princess. She is the only girl on that side of the family.

On Christmas Eve Valerie was in Tennessee with her cousins on the Cantrell side of the family.

And Julia and her parents went to Church with us and then out to dinner. The plan was to go back to her house but it started snowing so hard we went home and Julia went home to her house.

On Christmas morning the plan was to wake up and go to Julia's house at 6:30 am and watch her open Santa presents. But the snow keep us from getting out and we missed it.

By the time the roads were passable, Santa at Julia's was over and she was on her way to Corsicanna for Christmas with the Halls.Then finally on the next Monday evening we had Christmas all together at Grandma's House.

These are my two precious Christmas Girls. They had a great time and Julia had her "Everybody" together in one place.

Cookies for Santa

Julia and I baked cookies for Santa today. We had so much fun. She rolled, and cut and sprinkled. Oh yea and ate. She has discovered she loves Christmas cookies. The minute she woke up from her nap she asked for a Santa cookie
