Beware! This Grandma is armed and ready with new photos of those GRANDBABIES!!! I finally got Dad to update my keychain....I'd say it time to BRAG for this Grandma! Let's see, who am I seeing for lunch this week?
The better thing though is Skyping the grandbabies....or the best is seeing them, and hugging them, and buying them presents! I know, I'm just a TINY BIT BIASED, but who cares! I really need to skype Baby Jack again..I've talked to Eden a couple of times. Jack has been busy moving, so we haven't had a chance the last few days.
Got a curtain pattern I want to try for the dining room, now I just need the animal print material. I want something that will coordinate with Dad's office since it is over run with his tigers!
Cymbre is starting to get the hang of doing her own hair....she did a good job on Sunday. She still likes me to do it for school, since she likes how pouffy I get the back. It's sort of hard for her to get the back when she can't see it.
We are living for June 2....the last day of school for this year. They don't go back until August 23ish...and we are planning to sleep in the first few days. I haven't planned anything for before about 9:30am.....
Cooper will be going to Girl's Camp, and EFY, and Cymbre will be doing the summer dance classes. Both of them will begin the new solos and their duet for next year. Guess we'll see how those feet hold up. Dad is sending us to Phoenix in September for Mark Goodman's tap thing again. They LOVE that!
The girls have brought home their jazz costumes for recital, but there are some problems with the ballet 5 and tap 5 ones....seems the company hasn't sent them. OK...Kristin is working on replacements, and hopefully, they will get here on time. Kristin asked Cymbre to dance with Cooper's babies onstage last night....she is smaller than Cooper, and the kids just won't dance if the teacher isn't out in front. They are only 3....so Cymbre will dance onstage, and Cooper will be in the wings. Thank goodness, since Cymbre doesn't know the dance, but she will pick it up very quickly. Cooper will probably teach it to her over this weekend.
Dad got the new laptop all organized, and Cymbre used it for her homework last night....she loves being wireless at home now. That means, no more fights over who does homework first on the computer....they can both work at the same time. Dad just has to hook up the printer part of the laptop now.
Cooper finally turned in her movie that her and Dad have been working on for weeks. She says based on what the teacher has shown as samples, she should get full credit. Maybe she will be lucky and get some extra credit, although she has a good grade in that class already. That thing took FOREVER, and several family members have roles in it. Cymbre's dialated eye, Caleb's brain scans, Grandpa in his shamrock glasses, Cooper dancing....
The driving experience is getting easier for Cooper...Dad has her drive the van to seminary, and we put her in the car every chance we get. She still isn't driving in heavy traffic, but she is getting better at keeping the car in her lane, and not slamming on the brakes giving everyboy whiplash! She likes to go a bit to fast when turning corners, but since I told her she was going to tip over the car, she is doing better with that too. Her biggest problem, she misses the driveway EVERY time. She comes around the corner, stays on the left side of the street, and then can't manage to turn into the driveway. Could it be that she needs to be on the right side of the street? When I made her be on the right side of the street, she managed just fine. AMAZING!! Dad and I can hardly wait for February when we get to finally say...take your sister and go to dance! Just think...we could have a DATE every night!
Physical therapy is going ok for Cymbre...it's quite painful again. Those muscles that were all stretched out in her leg have all tightened up again. So basically, she is starting all over. The therapist thinks it will restretch very quickly, but it is some work for her. She walks around really stiff this week, and LOVES the ice in the cup thing he has her do when she is done with the exercies. It numbs everything, and then she can walk normally for a couple of hours.
Cymbre's vision is fading in and out some days just like Dr. Lee said it would. It has always come back within about an hour....and is still very blurry. I am getting her a Dr. appointment for new glasses. Cooper wants to get some contacts for when she dances. She says she can't see anything on stage now, so I guess we will discuss that option too.
Guess that's about all the news for today, since I can't find the paper where Dad wrote how to get the pictures off the camera and into the right place so I can find them. I have pictures of my dining room, and am taking one of Cooper driving.....and the patriarch dinner, and my flower arrangements for the dinner.
I might go shopping for some yarn for new GRANDBABY blankets today. Got to look for some material for blessing outfits too.....I think my Grandma box will be getting some use again! HURRAH!! More photos to show off!
We made a 72 hour food kit last night at RS. Really neat....you don't have to cook anything, but you would need two of them if you were having to move trees or clean up a flood per person. I thought it was a really great idea. It all fits in a gallon ziplock bag.....WONDERFUL!
Must go get busy....still have to do the breakfast dishes, and finish drying towels from yesterday. AND I have to go get a scrapbook for Cooper to make some project for school. AND I have to get Caleb's birthday stuff in the mail. We had a little delay because he was moving.
Everyone have a great day....and remember that there just may be someone out there somewhere who needs your smile, a cookie, a happy meal, or a cold water bottle from you. Get out there and find them.
Love you bunches,
Mom
PS...time for new GRANDBABY photos on blogs...HINT, HINT!
