June: announcements, babies and baseball!

Jared and Ashley sent this photo to my email one Sunday in June.  We just happened to have most of the family at our house that day so we skyped with them after seeing this picture!  Exciting to have #6 coming soon to our family!
 

Annaly loved seeing Josie on the Ipad.
 

 

Kasey's 1st Father's Day!
 

 

 

Had to show off Kinsley's cute lil' bloomers!
 

 

Summer doesn't get very hot around here but Janessa, Kinsley and I went to the cabin one weekend so Kinsley could wear her cute swim suits!
 

She could have cared less being in the water!
 

Oh the faces she can make at Grammie!
 

We watched Tyson play T-ball this summer.
 

 

 

 

 

 

Corbin loved playing catch with Kasey one day at the game!
 

 

 

Annaly was worn out at this game!

                                                    

Fun times with fun toys

We went to visit the kids one day and they were just coming back from a walk.  Corbin didn't want to ride his 4 wheeler anymore so Emily helped him.
 

For being so young, Corbin knew how to ride that toy!
 

Tyson had to show us how he could ride his bike.
 

Tyson selling us candy bars he had to sell for T-Ball.  He was a great salesman!  We bought 20!
 

Cutest lil' cutie pie!
 

Tricks
 

and more tricks!
 

Happy to show off!
 

And just plain Happy!
 

Tyson's Graduation from Pre-school!

I will always cherish living close to grandchildren.  There is nothing better in the whole world than seeing them succeed and grow up.  So when I say that I wish all my children lived close by, it is definitely for selfish reasons and I miss our lil' Josie not living near us.  I am so grateful that I am invited and can attend these special events of my grandchildren!

Tyson graduated from pre-school in May.  He was one excited lil' boy!  His graduation ceremony reminded me of the one his daddy had when he was the same age.  We had moved to Kemmerer and I was pregnant with Janessa.  Jason needed some friends since Jared was in school all day so I put him in pre-school at KCDC.  Jason's graduation was with caps and gowns too.  So cute to watch!
 

Tyson found where we were sitting.
 

Showing us how excited he was to see his family!  hahaha!
 

With his teacher.
 

His graduation gift from Grammie.
 

Everyone was excited for the event except Corbin.  We could not get a picture with him!
 

Being silly with Uncle Joel.
 

Janessa's baby shower

Last night we had Janessa's baby shower.  Emily, Hailey Lamb (a friend) and I got together and planned the event.  We decided to hold it at the library so no one had to have it in their home.

Look who showed up???!!!  Jessica was able to surprise Janessa by coming!  I think she was asleep more hours than she was awake while she was here but we were so happy that she came!  Jessica couldn't get off work on Friday so she drove yesterday and got here about 4 p.m. and left this a.m. at 9 a.m.
Right after she arrived, we drove over in her car to see Emily and the kids.  Poor Annaly woke up crying from her nap.

Corbin showing Aunt Jessica his cars and toys.

Jason came home and was surprised to see his sister there.

Yea!  Annaly is now happy!

Tyson wouldn't come in the house.  We finally had beautiful weather to play outside and all of his friends were riding their bikes.  Jessica tried to get Tyson to look at the camera but he was in a mood and didn't want to cooperate.

We left their house....ran to Taco Time for dinner then off to the shower to set up.  Janessa said that she saw a girl walking in the parking lot with the water container but didn't think anything about it.  Surprise!!!  It's your sister!

Part of the food table.

Emily made a great fruit salad!  The pineapple was yummy!

Janessa got lots of nice items for the baby!

The owl cake.  Janessa made the baby a quilt with owls on it so we tried to carry that theme on to the shower.

Jessica was not going to give up Annaly!

Some of the teachers from Janessa's school.

Hailey Lamb and Cindy Jackson, a friend from Big Piney.

Chit-chatting.

Janessa only got 2 items that were the same.  It was this bumpo chair.  Both were even the color purple!

Several cute outfits.

And other baby items.  I tired hard to get the many facial expressions of Janessa.  :)

 

 

 

 

 

I gave her these clothes and 2 bathing suits.  The one that is 3 months looks bigger than the 12 month one! 

Newest grandbaby's quilt.  It says "Adorable" "Cute" "Kinsley" "Bright" on it.

The onesies I appliqued.

The Redi girls went in together and bought Janessa a nice high chair.

 Hailey made this pillow for the guests to sign on the back.  She blew up the shower invitation and used it for a pattern.

This morning Jessica had to leave so I went with her to fill up her car.

Here it is!

Was a fun time!  Hard to see Jessica go but so glad she was able to make it!
Now bring on the baby!
