We had a good visit with all four of our Great Grands.
Mostly smiling! Baby K is crawling on all fours now and she has it mastered! She loves her brother very much...her cheeks were a bit red as she is getting a few more teeth. Hey Mikey has his own room, Cee Cee has her own room and the little girls have to share a room in their new home.
Who knew that pizza should be accompanied with copious amounts of Ranch Dressing!

We enjoyed a small birthday party with pizza and brownies for Hey Mikey's 9th birthday!
Hark! Back! Is a look back at blogs that appeared in a now defunct blogging site before I started with blogger in September of 2008. They are in no particular order.
Blog post from January 10, 2008
12 X 12 Paper
Well I am a scrapbooker...12 x 12 inch paper is one thing I collect...I have a special plastic box with a cover that I keep in the car...just incase I happen to run across a scrapbooking shop. Years ago when I first started scrapbooking there were lots of scrapbook stores...I should have opened one then...come to think of it I probably have enough paper to open one now.
I shop for paper seriously and with wild abandon...there was one store that I spent three hours in...just in the paper aisle...luckily after three hours my daughter Jen said "Mother it is time to go home." Lord only knows how long I would have stayed in that store if she had not been with me....maybe I would still be there...how many days would have passed before Far Guy would have reported me missing?
Other than normal solid colors in every shade and hue you can think of...I shop for paper that evokes a feeling...and at my age I have had a lot of feelings over the years...so I have a lot of paper.
Far Guy finally designed and built me a custom scrapbooking desk. The desk is accessible from both sides, it has twenty drawers believe it or not it does hold all my 12 x 12 in paper...for now:)

Update
I still look at paper in Hobby Lobby that is about the only store that has paper anymore. My desk still has a fair share of scrapbook papers. I have one scrapbook that I need to finish but mostly I use the paper to make cards.
That is what is happening on my desk now...card making...yes it is a controlled for now mess.
Believe it or not Chance used to lay down under that desk. It became a great place to store other "craft stuff." So no space for a dog to rest anymore.

Our Great Niece Aubrey graduated from High School this past weekend! Sadly we were not able to travel to her party on Saturday. My sister Julie and Jen and Andy were able to go. It is about a 6 1/2 hour drive for us and I am not able to travel that far at the moment.
On Saturday we visited the cemeteries where our parents are buried.
