I love being Grandma Taylor

I drove up and stayed the night with Christina, Ryan, Amy & Esther, who is learning to smile. They made an offer on a house, but then decided they could not afford the utilities. It was nice to visit with Amy and to hold Esther.

 

Ben & Rylee came over on Sat. and we had fun visiting. Rylee's hair was sticking straight up. She is pretty laid back and mellow about things. It was fun to chat with Ben. He helped with some things on my laptop. Shera came later with Robbie and his girlfriend and we had soup for dinner. Shera had been taking engagement photos for a friend of Robbie. She does an excellent job.

 

January cleaning

 

I have been cleaning out my work room. It may not look like much but this photo shows major improvement. I have been slowly throwing away things and files and taking things to D.I. I'm getting files organized. It takes forever to got through 30 years of files and boxes and boxes. My goal is to have a useful room that can also be a playroom for grandkids when they visit.

Weight photos

Ryan's family came over for photos. We took them in the basement. But it was past Amy's bedtime so she was asleep and not in them. I took a photo of Christina, Ryan, Amy & Esther later and used photo shop to copy her in with Ryan.

 

More photos of Christina, Ryan, Amy & Esther.

 

 

 

Sunday, Ryan's sister will bless her baby girl. It has been fun having them here. Esther is so cuddley. Amy is quite funny and really enjoys Opa.

New Years Eve Snow

Amy was not so sure she liked being outside in the snow.

 

 

 

Esther was happy inside all snug and warm.

 

Amy & Esther

I spent a few days with Christina and her family. I took this photo of Amy and Esther in their matching outfits.

 

Here is a photo of Esther in a Christmas outfit that Amy wore. Esther is getting so big.

 

Christmas morning

Ben, Shera & Rylee came over on Christmas Eve. We talked and Christmas morning we waited to see what Rylee thought of her presents. She got a little baby doll stroller.

 

 

New car

We bought a 2011 Honda CR-V which is 4WD and should be good on gas. It will give me something to drive when Bruce is gone. He will be working 3 days in Delta starting on Monday. This is a photo Shera took with me holding Rylee at the parking lot of the BYU Art Museum. We went and saw the Block and Tissot exhibits on the Life of Christ.
