Grisham Family update

HOUSE

The front porch swing is already stained and in use. It seems like yesterday that Jaydan was a baby. How did she grow up so fast? She is my ray of sunshine and totally keeps me grounded.

Our fireplace insert to keep us warm in winter.





Electrical wiring is taking place now, thanks to the Elders and Bro. Randy Smith.

ZOO FIELD TRIP
I had the privilege of going to the zoo with Jaydan and her class. We had a great time! They had an awesome bird show! Jaydan likes to see the Lorikeets and the monkeys. She thought the train ride was great. (Funny, but I remember it being a lot more fun when I was little.)

The girls loved the pink flamingos!



Oops! I think three monkeys escaped!





I see you! All the kids had homemade binoculars. It was so cute to see the kids use them as if they really worked.


GARDEN

The rose bushes are loaded! They will always make me remember Sis. Thomas.



I can't wait for green beans! Maybe the curse has been lifted. Brian says when he was a kid his mother made him pick green beans. He hated it and one day said, "Curse you, green beans, curse you!" He said they've never been able to grow green beans since.


My first zucchini blossom!

Baseball is in full swing (pun intended). Brian is having a great season! He is by far the best player on his team. Jaydan and I don't get to all his games, because some of them are at 8:00 at night. I'll try to get some pictures up soon. He now has his permit and is driving everywhere. He's a good driver
Alec has signed up for the Air Force and will find out soon when he leaves.
Matt is out of the Army and is here with us for a bit. I am enjoying having him here. He's planning on going to school in the fall.

Wow - I bet you want so much to have Christmas in the new house! Great pictures on the field trip and yes, I do have fond memories of the zoo and try to enjoy through the little ones' eyes, even though now it just seems like a lot of walking around. They do love it, though.
