One Day With Mr. Jed

My favorite place to play is in grandma's kitchen.

She has a few cupboards that I can dig in!

 First I need to get these bowls out.  They make lots of noise when they hit the floor!

 After a while I figure out I can't get them all out at once.

 Uh oh!  Found a glass one.  Grandma snatched that one up quickly!

 Success at last!  I love to push them on the floor and listen to the noise they make.  I also love to clank them together!!

 On to play with my red wagon.  I love to push it all over the place!

 Oh!!!  I hear the garage door opening!!

Yea!!  Grandpa is home . . . I got a hug before you did grandma!!!

Ahhh . . . the sweetness of a grandson!

Crazy Little Scrunchy Face!

Mr. Scrunchy face loves to laugh and smile!  He loves to make this funny little face where he scrunches his nose and squints his eyes!  I just love this little boy!!  Bye the way, his mom used to make the funniest faces . . . maybe that will be my next post!!

Baby boy's sweet smile!

This is the best!!  I love riding on my daddy's shoulders!

Everything makes me laugh!!

Random Pics

A couple of random pictures!  

Jed visiting Grandpa at work and Allie and Jesse in Monterey this summer.

Little Man, Grandpa and Football!

Little man and grandpa spent a little of the morning (I say little because an almost 10 month old's attention span is well . . . little) watching football.  Grandpa has dreamed of this day since Jed was born, not to mention dreaming of football from the closing play of the Superbowl until it starts again in the fall.  The picture is from my iPhone - so its not perfect, but I could not resist.  My heart melted when I looked over and saw this.  Enjoy!!

Mr. Bulldog

You might know that we are Bulldog Fans and help with the medical needs of the school's athletes.  Our grandson will grow up going to Bulldog games and hopefully being a fan of the various teams.  Who knows, maybe one day he will even go to school and become a bulldog like his mommy and daddy!

His parents found this little costume for him to wear his first Halloween . . . he makes a pretty cute "dog" don't you think?  Sometimes I just want to take a little "doggy bite" out of him he is so cute!!

Memories

Recently I have been looking through old pictures!  So much fun.  Here are a few pics that bring back so many memories!!

 

Lauren and Allie enjoying some Ice Cream.  They are about 4 and 2 in this picture!  This is from when Eric was in residency and we lived in Loma Linda in Southern California.  We had so many backyard picnics on this table!  I loved the table cloth because you could just wipe it clean!  I remember this being a time when the girls wanted to dress themselves.  They also loved to make homemade ice cream and eat it out of cones.  What a mess!!!  I would love to have some of these moments back!!

Hanging out in Hawaii at my parents house one summer.

At the Clovis Balloon Festival - this picture was taken about 5:30 AM.  After the balloons launched, we rushed home in time to see them land in the field next to the house near Woodward Park.

On a family hike in Carmel when the girls were in High School

This is one of our Christmas card pictures.  The girls were in high school - Lauren was a junior and Allie was a sophomore.  Not to sure what's up with my hair - but oh well!!!

Last of the Tomatoes & Eggplants - Bring on the Oranges!

I love love love growing things and now that I don't have kids at home and I am done with the crazy rat-race of trucking kids around, I have more time to enjoy my garden.  I'm getting old and its hard to bend over, so I had some raised (very raised I might add) garden boxes built.  

Can't wait for my grandson to be old enough to dig around with me!!

Here are some pics from the yesterday.

Well, there may be a few more tomatoes, but this is some of the last ones!  

Summer is quickly passing and soon it will be time to plant some winter yummies!

My eggplants struggled this year, only got a couple for some reason.

This one is a beauty and I cannot wait to put it on the grill in a few days!!

The great news is that as summer turns to fall, the oranges will slowly grow and begin to ripen!

What does this mean?

ORANGE JUICE FOR CHRISTMAS!!
