Yeh, I did the "grandma" thing!

So I traded it in for this cute little thing...the Saturn Vue. It had a $3000. rebate and we also traded in our old 98 Jeep as a clunker for $3500. , then with my step-dad's GM discount for $2300. we got a pretty good deal!


"Zoom, zoom, zoom" is OVER! Good bye to my little Mazda RX8....Grandma needs more room! That may help me NOT get another speeding ticket also. I've had TWO this summer. Shhhhhhhhh...don't tell the insurance guy!

Eight Family Garage Sale in Milan

I made $16.00...but spent $98. Humm, that's not so good. Well, I may not have sold much but I found lots of little boy toys. Maxton and Marcus are going to have FUN at our house!


Ok, it's been a LONG day. Let's have some fun!

The kids with their lemonade stand. I think they made more money that I did!


My sis preparing for the day. I didn't have many items, didn't take me as long to price them.



We had a beautful day for a sale! Look at all the stuff!

Marcus has his first cereal....yum!

Yep, I'll have more tomorrow!

Mom & Dad must think I'm pretty hot stuff! They keep laughing and smiling at me.

Hummmmm...I guess I like it! How 'bout some more?



Open wide baby! This stuff's good!

Happy Four Month Birthday Marcus!

Gramps, get outta my chair! You're too big! That's for little guys like me!


Hey this chair is comfy! All I need now is a remote and I'll look just like my Daddy & Grandpa!

Yep, I'm so happy! Thanks Mom for reminding me how old I am! You rock!


Now that my bath is over let's celebrate my four month birthday!



Grandpa & Marcus have a play day

Ok, a nap will do. Sleepy time...

What's next Gramps? Let's ride that Harley!


Hahahaaaaaa. What did you say?


You're funny Grandpa! Make that face again!

The Real Birthday Party!

Vroom, Vroom.... let's go Dad!


And what one year old doesn't need a new Harley? Yes, Grandpa had something to do with this also!

Grandpa Vaughan wanted to get Maxton started early on his golfing skills...
Look out Maxton, Grandpa's got lots of tips for you!


THIS stuff is good! Why don't we have this everyday?



Hummmm, MORE cake? Wow!



Happy Birthday Maxton!

Time for cake now!

Just a little messy. Don't tell Mommy & Daddy.

How does this horn thing work?


Give me that cake! Looks yummy!

Since Grandma babysat on Maxton's birthday we had to have a little party.

Time for another hair cut!

Maxton needed to get snazzed up for his upcoming birthday party. Although it looks like he sat there on his own, he didn't. Grandma had to hold him. There was hair everywhere. We had fun!
