My photo
This is more of a photo scrapbook and a place to write (and vent) my thoughts and feelings and brag about my grandkids.. I am a 60 something wife, mom & grandma. I've been married to my best friend Walt since 1977. The most important thing in my life is family. We have been blessed with some great kids, our daughter Kayci, son Cody, our awesome grandson Jesse, our precious granddaughters Cassandra and Chelsea and our newest grandson John. We are currently raising our grandson Jesse and dealing with things such as Autism & ADHD. We have lived in northern Arizona for most of the last 35 years and love it here. We've had our ups & downs ~ but life is good... I'll add a little here - my sweetheart and best friend Walt passed away unexpectedly January 8, 2014. He will be missed by many.

An empty nest is no fun.. or my little Jaybird has flown..

Well it finally happened, we got Jesse moved down to live with his mother. He is nervous but excited about this 'new adventure'. He likes his new school (it has STAIRS!), the POOL is almost right outside the door, the PARK is right across the street, and we got the wii & his room set up the way he likes it. (of course grandma cried all the way home after moving him down)
Walt & I sat in the living room Sunday saying to each other it's too QUIET! & CLEAN.. We don't know what to do ~ we haven't been without someone else in the house for more than 28 years...
I wish my Jaybird all the best ~ do good in school, make lots of new friends, and BE HAPPY!
Don't forget to call Grammy whenever you want and come visit me lots!
Love you Buddy!

Wow - a big change! I know you'll really miss Jesse, but I think you'll find the next stage of life a nice one; my parents enjoy their time alone together now, and Ryan's parents are practically newlyweds again!

Thanks Michelle, I'm looking forward to this new stage of life! ..but after 8 1/2 years of Jesse living here I'm going to miss his snuggles & curiosity & amazing energy..

Mom,
Enjoy it! You deserve it, especially after this past year.
I love you!
