The Boys!

I have a total of four grandsons and two of them had birthdays this month.

Mikey turned 10 years old on April 9th

Max celebrated his 5th birthday on April 16th

These guys are a big part of my life and I am really sure anyone within listening distance gets really tired of my stories.

Mikey is playing baseball again this summer and there is nothing better(when the weather cooperates) than sitting on the bleachers and watching him play.

Max is into bugs, he brought his caterpillar with him the other day when he came to visit and added an ant while he was here. I told him he could take as many as he wanted.

Happy, happy birthday from Grandma Deanie to "The Boys"!

This n' That

So I must admit when I get hooked on something it takes me awhile to get over it. I am not over getting a kick out of making cupcakes as you can see by the pictures. Last fall Aly found a good buy on powdered sugar and we each bought 2 cases (12/2 pound bags) for our food storage. So I am now into the second case. That is 24 pounds of sugar that I have used. I am not even going to add up the butter, cream cheese and chocolate chips that goes along with it. It has been fun though and they tasted pretty good too!

Our sweet Annie B was baptized, pink cast and all!!

Pine Wood Derby time for Mikey. Grandpa Johnny always helps him with his car and this year Mikey wanted a "U of U" car. They asked if I could paint the "U" on the hood. No problem.. a trip to the craft store, $10.00 later and I have painted it, next morning it peels right off, I am a little desperate cause it is fast approaching weigh in time for the car (5 oz, not over or under). Another trip to the craft store and 6 bucks later I have a one inch "U" on the hood. I complained to Grandpa Johnny and he just laughed and told me how much he had spent on paint, sand paper, etc and what Carrie had spent on decals that were not even used. Needless to say Mikey had a great time and the car beat the "BYU" car 5 out of 6 times!!
