OHIO

 My dad and me!

The girls came for the weekend to visit with their grandpa. What a memorable fun weekend.

CHEERS! 

 We asked my dad to try to arrange to have snow while we were there. He came through!!

This is the day the girls left for TX and CA. They made it out just in time. 

Don and I heading down to the frozen lake. Yes we still walk in the snow. Throw snowballs, and make snow angels. 

MALYN

Malyn came to town with her dad. They visited for 5 days. So fun having grandkids one on one. We had so much fun. I can't begin to put all the pictures in but here are some.

We celebrated Boo's birthday the first night.  

Rodeo time so we headed there the next day. Malyn loves owls. See shirt and owl behind her. :) 

Rodeo San Antonio

 After many barns, animals and food we headed home, tuckered out...

Many activities were taking place during the last few days

Smithsonian Rock and Gem Dig

 a visit to grandma Dotty's

gardening with Poppy. (We discovered Malyn is a gardener. She loved working with him and she did lots of work which she loved doing)

Auntie Jenny is always a favorite visit.

This is Malyn's favorite baby goat. DONKEY! She feed her in Dec. and got to visit her again in Feb. 

 A girl and her goat. 

Cookies! Yes always making chocolate chip cookies at Nama's house. Much more fun with Malyn helping.

Malyn found a new app that was like the game she plays at Auntie Jessica's house.

Kinectimals! She loves it and so did I. Our girl loves animals and the outdoors. :)

Just relaxing in the best chair in the house. Our job was to spoil our precious granddaughter. 

Such a sweet sweet heart she has. I love you so much Malyn!

Back to Auntie Jenny's to spend the night and give the goats their last feeding. 

Then movie night and pizza with Auntie Jenny. 

Girls are very crafty and so Malyn helped Auntie Jessica and Ryan make the Valentine boxes for school. Here they are showing them off. Always fun times with Auntie Jessica and Ryan.

Malyn and I had movie night with popcorn and late night. Special time. No bed time. We can only last so long before the eyelids just won't stay open anymore. :)

Love time with Auntie Jessica! Orange Leaf is another favorite of ours.

This is Ryan's choice of goodies...

and this is what they both looked like after the bowls were empty!

And the winner of the Best Short Film at the San Antonio Christian Film Festival goes to...

"Useless" Award was accepted by Boo Arnold on behalf of the Useless team.

( Boo was in the film and was up for best actor last year and for anyone's information I think he is the best!

These awards were actually in my house. How fun was that. I even weighed them. Each weighed 10 lbs. 

Congratulations Boo, Thanks Malyn for so many wonderful memories, and Auntie Jenny and Auntie Jessica for joining in on the fun. 

Poppy and I had the time of our lives.
