Wednesday is my favorite day!

I have been lucky enough to have a very special day of the week for awhile now. It is Wednesday and let me tell you why. Jaxon and Megan and Courtney moved to Idaho Falls several weeks ago and I have missed them dearly. Before they moved Megan was teaching piano lessons to several young musicians at our house. When she came each Wed. she brought Courtney and we had a wonderful couple of hours together! When they announced they were going to move I knew I would miss my special Wednesdays.

Lucky for me Megan decided to keep teaching piano here at my home through December so Wednesdays are still my favorite! The weather has been so nice here that Courtney and I get all bundled up, she sits in the red wagon, we stroll to the park and on the way pass by her favorite apple tree where I climb the wall to get Courtney an "appo, appo, appo".

Some people have pets to keep them company, I'll just stick with grandkids! Miss you Jay!

A Surprise for me on RON'S Birthday...figure that one out!

For Ron's Birthday this year, Ron, Brett, Aubrey & Jay surprised ME by sending Ron & I to Fullerton, CA to see Brett & Aubrey........for Ron's Birthday?!?!?! Along with the trip itself I was surprised...for Ron's Birthday, with tickets to see "Wicked" with Aubrey and the boys went to the USC vs. California football game! It was wonderful company, beautiful weather (we went the week before the fires!) and Jay told me I'm his favorite Grandma named Jill!!! It was a fast and furious weekend...........and all for Ron's Birthday! I'm thinking all the kids should do the same for me on "their" Birthdays! What do you think fellow mother's of the world?

And the Not-So-Cute part of Halloween!

This is him----Chester! AKA... Ethan, Ashley's hubby and sidekick. He plays the part so well it's scary and even Courtney cried and backed away when she saw him at the door for trick-or-treating. Wouldn't you?

Darla...aka...Ashley, Ethan's wife and my daughter was not in full costume for the evening but we hope to get a pic of the two of them together someday. They are hilarious and have way too much fun!!!
