Dad, mom and Bentlee

Aunt Lorissa's first look.

Grandma's first look.

David's nightly routine- playing video games

with Bentlee sleeping on his lap.

Her room was fixed so sweet with

white aspen trees adorning the

walls.

Her cool 'space pod' swing.

Content in Grandma's arms.

At night she was swaddled in this...

but she is a little 'Houdini'

and always mangaged to

get a hand or arm

out somehow!

An outing to the Market in Charleston.

Too many nights up!

Her bath!!!

Her bows always managed to come down

over her eyes in a 'face mask'.

Her birthday cake!

Lyndsie, Bentlee and Lorissa

Three generations of women!

Oh yeah! Look out world!

A trip to the beach for Grandma's sake!

Their house in Charleston.

The living room from above.

My absolute favorite so far!

I love being a Grandma!

Andrew's Baptism and A Visit to Andrew's Lake

ANDREW'S BAPTISM

I am almost caught up on my blogging! That means

pictures of the grandbabies to come!!

First, Andrew got baptized this summer...

...and his dad got to do it!

Love the look on his face here!

Hugs from dad!

One Sunday when we just had two kids....

we decided to go for a drive.

We passed the sign for Andrew's Lake everytime

we went to Silverton or to Ouray.

So, with Andrew along, we packed a lunch and off

we went.

While eating our lunch we had the whole flock of ducks

around us!

Attempted to take a hike around the lake...

not exactly a marked path. So the kids

would run ahead and scout it out for us.

This one was a wrong turn.

Really a pretty little lake.

Lots of wildflowers out at this time.

We did actually make it all the way around the lake

but we sort of had to forge our own trail.

A great day!
