Family Time

 The last five days have been busily spent

taking care of grandchildren

while our daughter and SIL

have been out of town.

Our Son -In-Law Dano
just competed in another 

Iron Man event

where he made great time.

This one was held in 

the beautiful Red Rock Country of

St. George Utah

where we used to live before moving to Arizona

 

Love to kiss on these cute faces :)

I always gain a renewed appreciation

for Amy and Dano and 

the hours of dedication they put into their family.

The kids were well behaved 

and we had a lot of fun together.

 Every moment was non stop activity.

We played Barbie Dolls together

 School, homework,
sleepovers in the family room
birthday parties
 and dance class

 Baseball games

 I even gave Kayla, age 4, her first quilting lesson.

I brought along my antique Featherweight

which is easy to transport and set up on the kitchen table.

Kayla asked a million questions as she

 sat on my lap and helped guide the fabric

cut the threads.

I was happy to see how ready she was to learn

and look forward to the day when we can make 

a quilts together :)

 I rarely get sick, but had to ask Mr. Cactus 

to come to the rescue by the last day.

He is an awesome grandpa!

I'm home now, 

and hopefully this is just a quick summer cold.
