Yeah, Grandpa thinks they are too cute for words.

Had to "borrow" this picture from my daughters blog. Grace and Ava love to get dressed up and get their pictures taken. There could not be a prouder Grandpa than I am of them and their Mom. I love you all.

Hang out with Grandpa on SuperBowl Weekend.

We ( Pheobe and Maya and I) have been having a great time. We watched movies, Stayed up very very late, Slept on the floor in the living room, Hours of Lego and pretend, We have had Ice Cream Sundays, Blueberry strawberry banana Pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles. We had smores, and apples. We turned cartwheels and the girls spent hours playing in the bubble bath. Their Moms have called a few times to see if they were ready to come home but we decided we wanted to hang out here until the super bowl was over in 3 or four more hours. We didn't want to watch it anyway.

It is a white Christmas this year. We have had snow fall every day this week. Portland & Vancouver are nearly brought to its knees. Isn't the snow beautiful?
Merry Christmas! to ALL.

Getting Ready for Christmas

Well, it is getting close to Christmas.  We are getting out all of our stuff and have put a lot of it up. I am sending some pictures to show you the nativity scenes and the lights. Oh, and Ian.  Please find you mother a nice nativity scene from Argentina. We love you.  Take care of yourself and Make it a merry Christmas.

Father's Day

Fathers Day we finished Connors Pinewood derby car. It has lots of Harley Davidson Stickers all over it. We sure had fun. Connor, Maya, and Phobe all just got a new belt in Karate. Watch out they are lethal........ lol
Then we went to Lia's for a barbaque and played on the swingset. Yum.














Thanks to all who put something on their blogs this week.
Ian, We love you. Here is a big hug from all of us.

Connor

The young man without a mask is Connor, Tina's son. He is not into soccer but fencing is fun.







He also enjoys karate. Mr. "K" does make it fun and teaches them a lot. Connor really gets into it as you can see.









Here is Connor and Grandpa filing the fenders of "Connor's" Pinewood derby car.

I remember my Dad helping me with my Pinewood derby car and helping my sons with theirs. I wish I were close enough to all of my grandchildren to spend the time with them one on one.

EFT is something I would not have believed. I tried it to be supportive to my wife and was hooked on it the first day. I found that I could have a big effect on my feelings, emotions, and my physical condition in a matter of minutes. If a migraine is sneaking up on me and I could either take drugs, or do EFT I choose EFT because it is faster and more effective than any of the drugs I have relied on for years.

I use EFT on frustration, back pain, asthma attacks, and migraines. Try it for yourself. You do not have to believe in it for it to work. You do have to listen to a good explanation and go through the motions while focusing on the pain/anger/frustration/or tenseness that is causing you distress.

Here is a youtube video that I just happened on that is excellent. There is a lot more to EFT but this is a great start in the basics. With just what you learn here I started to be better off with less stress, pain, and anxiety.

If you want, I will talk to you more. I want everyone I care about to give it a try, but I don't want to push it on anyone.

Hooked

modest beginings

I am learning how to post to my blog and upload pictures. I don't have time to mess with this much but will learn as I do it. Two years have gone by since I first looked to blogs as a way to publish ( share) information and pictures.

My Daughter and daughter-in-Law have shared some really nice photos on their blogs. I would like to do half a well.

Thank you, Chantel and Tammy for sharing the pictures of your families.
