Oh those gems of mine!

Let's talk about Sarah...
She has been busy on Swim Team~
Doesn't she look so grown up?
She is quite the artist and for Christmas she hand painted
this picture of Bronson for her Mommy.
She loves to watercolor and is really getting good at it!
The big news is that she FINALLY has a front tooth that is
about to come out!
She is thrilled...
Molly, not so much!
We had a visit from Frankie and Tom, along with Lilly and
her Mommy Kaitlan!
Molly enjoyed "babysitting" Lilly... until~
Lilly sneezed and lots of stuff came out of her nose~
As I rushed to wipe Lilly's nose, Molly looked up at me and said,
"Meme, this is my worst nightmare"
Ha!
They did have fun reading and playing together!

My sister Frankie sure loves her grand baby Lilly~
Lilly enjoyed this "Papa" too!
Our boy Cayden has been a busy hunter apprentice to his 
Daddy!  
He is proud to be like his Daddy!
Mya just might want to hunt too!
She is just busy being pretty...
working on potty training~ I just had a call
from her and she told me she "pooped" on the potty!
Meme is so proud!
I have made them a new blog header...
I love these pictures of all of them!
Lastly, my sweet Laylabug has been loving the snow
in Grand Junction!
Love her!

She loves playing outside with her Mommy and Papa!
I love receiving pictures from Tegan and Kelley~
Here is one of Layla working on an art project
I sent her for Christmas!
Yum Yum!
A party in her hair!

I have "borrowed" some photos from the kids blogs~
Thanks for sharing!
Our Christmas is coming here at Meme and Papa's house.
Bridget and her family will come for the weekend next week~
Beckie and her family will join us for a kids exchange.
Things have been shipped to Layla and we will all face time together on the
12th!  Be ready Danny! You too!
I miss my Colorado Lesjaks this year but I am counting down the 
days till they come for a week this summer~ and of
course I will visit them in March too!
My gems have been busy!

Shut the Front Door!

There is one group of friends that I have...
We call ourselves the
"Hollar & Swallor" group after our
fun trip to Nashville, where in every bar ... well, that's
just what you do!

Dave and I love to play the game Shut the Box.
Dave decided he would make his own version in his wood shop
for our Hollar and Swallor group!
He got busy...


Looking good!

The finished project...
Inside...


They loved their gifts!
Holla....
Oh that Honey Jack!
We are a good looking bunch!
Shut the ...
BOX
was a big hit!
Someone won $80.00!
It was not me

If you break it... they will fix it!

The little gems, all but Layla :`(  
joined Meme to bake some Christmas cookies!
I channeled Grammy Gert and baked the best Brown Sugar
Cookies EVER!
Sarah, Cayden, Molly and Mya got busy decorating~


Mya had a fun weekend with Meme!
She is such a little lovebug~
Her big brother is so patient with her!
We took them home to Van Wert and we
went with Cyle and his family to their new business~
Van Wert Glass!
Cyle and Bridget bought this business and are
the new owners!
If you break it... they will fix it!
Cayden gives the company van a thumbs up!
He is excited to come to his Daddy's work~
Playing in the Mommy's office!
"Hello, Van Wert Glass, can I help you?" says Cayden.
Mya wants to work here too!
Congrats to the Wilkinsons~
Cayden and Mya at Van Wert Glass!

It's an exciting time for them~ 
Keep up the great work Cyle and Bridget!

2012 Recital~

 Molly was excited for her violin recital!
Beckie and Molly~
Meme and Molly~
Ready to go~
Oh Come All Ye Children
She was so great...
take a listen...
                                                     

Setting up to play with all the students as they play some Christmas
carols!
She played her song again with everyone then
Miss Molly, her teacher, had them play Jingle Bells really slow...
                                                  

So proud of this little girl!

Miss Molly's older students played then and I loved seeing how
my Molly watched her teacher! 
Priceless!

Molly Carolyn...
Keep up the great work on your violin playing!
One day you just might be a STAR...
Oh wait...
YOU ALREADY ARE ONE!
