Visiting Addison and Kai 8-1-2020

 Addison and Kai came to Texas to celebrate her birthday July 22nd.  She headed back home on Saturday and came through Mineral Wells on her way.

 
It's harder to get Mom to look at me than kids!

Kai turned 18 months on August 5th. He's very active as most kids that age.

He saw me taking pictures and came for a closer look!

I thought you guys would enjoy this picture. This is Scarlett (Taylor's little girl) who turned 4 in May and Kai. Family genes are strong!

We enjoyed our visit with Addison and Kai.

Have a good one!

Saying Goodbye is Never Easy 7-23-2020

Remi's summer vacation with us went way too fast. Thanks to Covid we hadn't seen her since Christmas!

We are planning for her to come when the kids move back into the house but we will see. If not, it will be Christmas again before we see her!

Vanessa got these pics of the kids with Grammer before Keannon and Kennedy took her to the airport.

I went over to visit before she left. They were playing Canasta. Remi and her Dad were partners while Vanessa and Kennedy were partners. 

Remi and Keannon were losing....badly!

Have a good one!

Another Grand Learns to Stamp 7-20-2020

I discovered she knows how to hand sew! She made some tiny pillows. She has quite the imagination!

I showed Korin how to stamp a couple of weeks ago. Now every time she comes over she wants to stamp!

Remi came over too! She loves to be crafty.

Have a good one!

Riding Bikes 7-18-2020

Kashton wanted to ride bikes to the cemetery so off we go.

The ducks greeted us at the pond.

We go explore the rose garden. Kashton stood on the sun dial in the middle of the rose garden.

Here is a clip of Kashton jumping a dirt pile.

Kashton (like any boy) wanted to climb the large dirt pile across from where he was jumping his bike.

And of course he had to slide down it!

Have a good one!

Precious Moment 7-17-2020

Kennedy and Remi spent the night on 7-16. Neither of them went to sleep until after 1:00AM then I got them up to go to work with me.

After work and lunch, Keannon came over to talk to Doyle about some things regarding the house. In a little while all was quiet. Keannon and Remi were in the lounge chair asleep!

I couldn't resist snapping a picture. I sent it to Vanessa and she sent me a text back.

Same here! Kennedy had gone to the apartment and fallen asleep!







Have a good one!

Train Ride 7-11-2020

Vanessa planned a trip to East Texas where her Dad (Joe Don or Papa Joe) lives.  On that trip they took the kids on a train ride.

Remi is a seasoned traveler having flown on a plane numerous times now but this was her very first train ride.

Papa Joe with Korin.

I love this picture of Kennedy with her Daddy.
































Somebody fell asleep!

4th of July

We didn't do much on the 4th. I only got a picture of one of the kids and that was Kashton. He was so patriotic and such a handsome guy!

Our city still held a fireworks display. Doyle and I chose not to go this year. These are some of the pictures Vanessa took.

Kennedy and Remi with Sparklers.

It's hard for me to believe that Remi has already gone home. That six weeks passed really quick!

Friends of the kids have a convertible. Kashton thought he was pretty cool!

They had a great time!

Have a good one!
