Kardin is One: Happy Birthday

Grandma Ro was so excited to be there at Kardin's #1 Birthday party. She just loves her girls to the moon and back!

Kardin looked pretty in pink for her special day
She is most definetly a girly girl....but she finally ripped into her cake

Ummmm........should we just save this picture for her till she grows up?

Look at that look

Thanks Bren and Scott for a great day!

Grandma Ro was so glad to be apart of that special day

Kylie's having a baby!

Hard to believe but it's true. Our Ky baby is having a baby.

Kylie and Aaron are sooo excited. I had to keep it shhh for a bit to make sure everything was o.k. But in April I got to go to the Dr. with Kylie and Aaron. I was so excited that Kylie scheduled the appt. when I would be there. Unfortunetly, the Doctor would not do the ultrasound just yet. But Kylie scheduled one in the mall. So we all went to see what our baby was going to be. Can you guess?

We're having a pink one!!! Her name will be Princess Zoie Ann Zahrt. That's Princess "ZAZ "for short. Kylie and Grandma Ro spent the next several days shopping for all things"Pink". Also all the layette stuff a mama needs for a new baby. This also included things like cream for nursing moms and butt paste for the new baby's bottom. Ya know, the important essentials.

We can hardly wait for baby Zoie!!!!

Childrens Day with Uncle Phil

Uncle Phil 's facility puts on wonderful days for family and friends.
Awhile back they had a childrens day with great food and games.

Uncle Phil won the baseball game by hitting a home run.
He was sooo excited! Can't you just tell
Brenna and the girls joined us for the fun

Brenna and the girls play musical chairs

The gardens of the facility are so beautiful and just right for picture taking.

Rilynn poses for the camera and Grandma Ro loves to catch those special moments

Two of my favorite girls: Brenna and Kardin

Two love birds: Aunt Jo and Uncle Phil

Rilynn

always ready for a picture

Cory gets his license

Cory finally gets his license! We went to Riverside because we thought it would be easier place to take the test. However, we didn't know that all around the DMV was under construction. And to top it off, the lady he got to test with had major attitude. She was not happy with mom taking pictures of the big moment.

The Test.....We left off the score because the lady as you can see had a field day with telling Cory where he needed to improve his skills. However, she did pass him and that's what counts!

And he's off in the Cheech and Chong

Tubing with Brenna and Rilynn

We got a lot of snow and before it melts away, Brenna and Rilynn came to play. While waiting to go tubing at Mountain High (Cory worked enough hours to get us all free passes) we played at the park for a bit. Brenna's friend Marie joined us. She is now staying here with her parents so it was easy for Brenna to see her as well.

Ri makes a snowball....Watch out....Fight!

And there she goes....down the hill

Ri, RO and Marie ready for a ride

It was hard to take a good picture because of the glare...or maybe mom just couldn't see good. But this is Rilynn, Brenna and Marie forming a chain and coming down on the far right all together

Going up the people mover for another ride

Grandma Ro tries the belly spin.

Rilynn was getting cranky so Brenna decided to cool her off by putting her head in the snow.

That did not go over well.....duh!

Back at grandma's, Ri wanted to build a snowman on Grandma's porch.

He's a mighty fine "Frosty" and Rilynn was quite proud. Granma promised to take a picture everyday and send it to Rilynn so she can watch him melt.

Girls Day at Huntington Library

Ro has never been to the Huntington Library. It has always been a dream to go there. Brenna has a membership and invited Grandma Ro for a day at the library with the girls. She even packed a great picnic lunch which we ate by the lilly pond. It was such a warm sunny day and perfect.

Grandma Ro and her grand girls, Princess Kardin and Princess Rilynn. Two of Grandma's favorite princesses! She has 4 grand daughter princesses. Not counting Kylie who still thinks she's one too.Cooling off fingers on a hot day.

Rilynn kept going back to this magnet. It separates the iron (I think) from the soil, or sand?

At the garden gate

Smells so sweet....No Bees allowed!

What's the saying? Out of the mouth of ........Lions?

It was such a lovely day! Thank you to my girls for making a dream come true for an "old woman" ....Wow, that was a lot of walking in heels.
