Typical Saturday

Horray for Zach!! He played such a good football game today. What a good job blocking, and Zach is a FAST runner.

We were sad Nick was sick today and couldn't play. We missed him and Josh and Courtney. Zach and Nick are taking after their dad in the camping and hunting department.

We got home just in time for Paige, James, and Abigail who were ready to swim, play games, create, and decorate. While Abbey took her her nap, Grandpa and James played Zingo and Chinese Checkers. Paige brought over all the necessary items to make ghosts, and had plans to decorate with them. Great and fun idea Paige!

During this time, we found that Sadie won first prize and a blue ribbon for her Rum Cake in the school fair, Jordyn won first prize and a blue ribbon for her Apple Dumplings AND a picture she drew. Great work girls. We are proud of you! Cody got to help his mom work a booth in the fair.

Tonight we get to see Chase, Jess and Lindsey. They are growing up so fast. Jess can make a tower taller than she is. Lindsey is now walking and is going to be 1 next week. Chase is loving to spend time with his 2 dogs, Zoey and Penney.

What a Saturday! We will sleep like babies tonight!!

Good Times at Disneyland (again and again........)

Here we are ALONE at the big Disneyland. We have year passports and decided to make good use of them before they expire. And a big thank you to our daughter-in-law Maren for sharing her employment benefits at Marriott with us for rooms at a ridiculously low price. We love you and appreciate you! We will gladly watch your kids while you work at Marriott, as it benefits us as well.

For those of you who know us well, we frequent Disneyland several times a year. This is actually our first trip alone EVER at the D which was kind of a shock to be alone at a place we share so much fun with our children and grandchildren. But we soon found that we could have a good time by ourselves. We still kinda like each other after 21 years of marriage.

Grandpa And Grandma's Turn

Ron and I recently celebrated our 21st anniversary, so we thought this would be a good weekend to get away for a few days. The last get away was to our friends Shari and Steve's wedding - much too long ago. Here's to a great weekend Ronaldo!! I love you!

Buchanan Boys

We started out our weekend with Zach and Nicks first Pop Warner football game of the season. What awesome players they are. Most of the weekend was spent at our house making play dough, swimming, watching movies, celebrating Josh's 3rd and Nicks 6th birthday, playing games, making Shrek Shakes (thumbs up for Shrek Shakes), and lots more. Zach, Nick and Josh made our weekend such fun. What well behaved, nice, fun boys they are. Thanks for coming to visit, and thanks to your mom and dad for celebrating their 10th anniversary so we could have you over. We love you all!

Weekend with Dad

Ron and I drove up to St. Johns and spend the weekend with my dad. For those of you who don't know Bert Farr, he is the most interesting, wise, and loving person around. We spent the day Saturday with a drive up to Nutrioso, where Dad showed us stately barns and beautiful houses built by family members long ago. We then drove by Tal Wi Wi Lodge and remembered old times when we stayed there, and ended up in Alpine with a delicious lunch at Bear Wallow Restaurant. Great home made food and yummy cherry and rhubarb pie with ice cream for dessert. The weather was perfect and the scenery was gorgeous. It was so nice breathing all that fresh air. We rested, visited and enjoyed every minute of the weekend. Thanks Dad for the fun time. We love you!!

Sleep Over????

Recently, James and Paige came for a (one night) sleep over. Paige brought her suitcase filled with : 1 nightgown, 1 pair of panties, 1 outfit for the next day, daily scripture calendar along with everything under the sun to decorate the room in which she stays in.

James suitcase overflowed with: 12 pair of shorts, 4 tee shirts, 8 pair briefs, 1 pajama top, and an umbrella. Which one is worried about being prepared, and which is worried about making sleeping quarters comfy?

We love our grandkids, and the fact that they love to come stay with us. We can't wait for next weekend to post about Zach, Nick, and Josh for their sleep over.

This summer we went to California with Jen, Jason and Maren and our grandsweets. We spent a few days in Disneyland and one at the beach.
