I tried very hard to setup a slide roll as Jessica did for me. I got these pictures all on the slide but got stuck with trying to transfer it to my blog. So that is why I put it in 3 parts.
We really did have a nice week. The weather held out very nice until the end of the week. We were thankful for our heated pool because there were a few cool evenings and then the waves were too choppy to play in.
Our friends Randy and Diane Miller had the house next door with their kids and their families (Jason and Amanda) and also her sister Pat and her kids families. So between us we had a population of approx 40 people!! We were quite a sight when we gathered on the beach!!! It was really fun for the kids all 13 and 3 babies! They had bikes, scooters and just plan fun times. We also had the Elliots for a few days of fun.
Randy and Audy got a few hands of cribbage in and I believe Diane and I had one evening of coffee together. That's okay because the purpose was to be with our families.
The best times for Audy and I was having our grandchildren under one roof. As I mentioned about Bryson and Papa they were out early every morning. Jessalyn would adventure out on the porch with Nana all snuggled up with a blanket for those cool mornings drinking hot chocolate and Nana coffee. Then our little sunshine woke up with a sweet little smile. She has her bottle before her diaper is changed and drinks it in a record speed that time of the morning. Papa and Bryson would wander home with their treasures and by that time everyone is up and saying, "what's for breakfast"? Papa pretty much fixed a huge breakfast every morning and even sneaked off one morning and brought back some donuts too!! Lunch was serve yourself and then Nana would get dinner started....we had some yummy foods too....let's see what did we have? Chicken Laz. Guam food, Prime Rib, Spaghetti, hamburgers and hot dogs. Sounds good even now! Everyone pitched in for cleanup and we went our seperate ways. Skip and Jess went one time to the pier fishing, Katie and James riding bikes with Bryson, Papa and Nana took Molly and Dawson in the wagon and Jessalyn came along for the walk. One night they roasted marshmellows for S'mores.
Now it is back to reality. Poor Molly came down sick when she got home and gave it to her mama. As far as I know everyone is getting better.
Back to work.......

What we do at the beach part 1
We enjoyed our heated pool. I laugh at this picture because it shows James holding Katie in the water. Truth be said, he could still do it just as easy out side of the water. (I am sure I will hear about this!)
Dawson with his "wings" on and seems to be holding on tight.
Stacey "lounging".
My little Miss Ragga Muffin (we are at the beach!) showing off her pretty shell necklas mommy bought for her.
Mommy changing Molly from her swim diaper. I don't think it was this time but there was one time she was screaming her head off as if she was saying, "no mommy I don't want to get out of the water,please mommy"! She loved the ocean just as much as she did the pool.

What we do at the beach part 2
Here is Jason (Amanda's husband) setting up his fishing line ready for the "big" catch.
"Oh goodie he caught something to show the kids". Decided to throw that back in and wait for the "big one".
"Waiting"
His waiting paid off...you should have heard all the comotion next door when he brought this thing home. Good job. Gives me the creeps though because he caught it in the area we play!!!

How we spend our week at the beach!
Papa and Bryson started the morning out on the beach before sunrise to capture the sun rising. It was a good time of collecting shells and just "talking".
Papa's favorite thing to do!!! He's learned to consume his book and still keep an eye on the grandchildren!
Jessalyn has NO fear of the waves. She was testing them out before taking her little surf board out there to ride those pint size waves. I sure wish I had gotten better shots.
Bryson finishing off the sand castle fort that daddy started before the tide comes back in. Notice who the water boy was!!!

Thank You!
I am sure many of you enjoyed my slide show of the beach. Thank you Jessica for doing that for me and showing me how to do it. Our lap top is still down until probably this weekend so until then this is about the best that I can do. I do have a few stories to share with you next time.

Counting down 5 days to the beach!
Looks like we shall beat the hurricanes! Reguardless to the weather (providing it's not a catagory 4) we are heading to Garden City Beach in 5 days! We are all very excited!
Skip and Jess update: They had themselves a yardsale on Saturday for the first time. They were too funny as they would go around the house and bring something out and say to the other, "do we use this or want this"? The reply was usually, "no put it in the yardsale"! Well $350.00 later that is what they came up with! We took a few things over and made about $14.00! I guess they had the good junk!
Molly turned 7 months old today. So hard to believe! We are going to have such a good time with her at the beach!
Katie and James: We are all sadden that James parents aren't going to be coming out from Arizona to go to the beach with us after all. James grandma's health is failing (she's 91) and his mom feels like she needs to go to California and be with her. So depending on what his mom's report is will determine if James is going to meet up with his parents or come to the beach with us. All we can do is pray for them at this point.
I was over at Katie's this afternoon before Bryson's piano lessons. He played the songs for me that he has been practising on and I was quite impressed! Sissy and I watched a video of Anne of Green Gables...my favorite too. Mom says they are doing really good on their school work. She is taking the day off on Friday to get ready for the beach and there is no school for them next week!!!!
Audy and Dee: We are doing good! Dee went for her physical today and the doctor came in the room to give me the results and said, "you have made my day boring!" Gave me a good bill of health! We are very thankful for that. He looked at Audy and says, "how are you doing"? We laughed as he said, "I'll see you for my physcial on Thursday"! I am still struggling with my knee and my ortho doctor says he is not closing my case and I was to contact him at any time I can't bear the pain. This winter will tell the real story!
I have gone back to work and it was really nice. I only work one day this week but when I get back it will pick up. By then I will have my vacation behind me!
My next post will be from the beach with pictures!!!
Until then....
