Family and Friends - Wedding Guests

Tonight, on this layout are pictures of family members and friends in attendance.  More smiling faces! I am so happy that we were able to all share in the happiness of their day!

Baby it's Cold Outside page 2

Page two!  Earlier, when they were having snowy weather in North Carolina, I asked Rudy to let 
 His mom take a picture of him outside he told me it was too cold! Well, I finally have some photos of them outside!   Thank you Brenna for sharing,!  I know they will appreciate this when they are older,

Baby it's cold outside, page 1

So, I always see great layouts centered around snow and think "rats, I don't have any snow pictures." Well, thanks to Brenna and the snowy weather of North Carolina, I have finally scrapbook end my grandchildren in snowy weather!  I will be looking for another photo to add to this page, but I love this picture Brenna took.  This is Isabel and Rudy exploring the snow in their backyard!  I am thinking of printing this in black and white.  

Hula at the Reception

My favorite moment of the evening of Heather and Alex's reception was when the Makuas performed to my all time favorite song, "Maunaleo" by Keali'i Reichel!  It is such a beautiful song and these women are beautiful dancers!  I also loved seeing my granddaughters dance with them!  Mahalo!

Isabel - 2011

I am just enjoying staring at the picture of my granddaughter, Isabel!  The year was 2011, which means she is six years old.  What a wonderful smile and I love the hand on the hip.  She is ready for the red carpet!  

Isabel and Rudy - Christmas 2013

I just love this photo of Isabel and Little Rudy!  It's Christmas 2013 and this is the Christmas card Brenna sent to us!  I have to tell you that Brenna made Isabel's dress and Little Rudy's matching tie!  She is awesome!!  I sure do miss them but so excited that they will be moving back to California this coming Spring!  

Isabel and Roy Have the Aloha Spirit!

Isabel and Papa!

Isabel and Roy, he's such a good sport, had their own photo op at Tiki Jim's while we were hanging out at Broadway on the Beach.  We had such a good laugh while they were "posing".  They became full of the Aloha Spirit as soon as they stuck their heads into the cutouts!   I know we are looking forward to our summer vacation and heading back to Hawaii with the family this coming July!  Aloha!!!!

Feeding the Ugly Fish!

Papa and Isabel

In the lake at Broadway at the Beach are living the ugliest fish I have ever seen!  And they are even more ugly when you are feeding them!  For a quarter you get a handful of fish food and boy do they come swimming over so fast!  Even the ducks were getting into the picture.  I couldn't get over how large their mouths were!  Don't these things ever eat?  But, Isabel sure did enjoy feeding the ugly fish. 

Isabel and the Grands

Isabel and the "Grands"

Like I said earlier, there were so many restaurants at Broadway at the Beach.  We didn't eat at Margaritaville but it proved to be a nice backdrop for a photo.  Roy and Isabel are standing in front of a water wall (ha), that is why you can see her holding her arm...she was getting wet.  I enjoy being out and about with the family.  This was a nice road trip from Brenna's.

Let's Make a Pizza

Little Pizza Maker

This was a clever display at the museum; learning fractions while you're making pizza!  Isabel had a great time pretending to make pizzas for all of us.  I love how she poses; what a little ham!  Overall, we had a great time at the Children's Museum.  So many different and fun things to see and do. 
Roy and I were glad to be able to share this activity with our grandbabies.....we cherish our time with them very much!

Let's Sail Away!

Brenna and Rudy are getting ready to sail away from the Children's Museum to lands unknown! There was even a lifeboat on this replica with life jackets included. This was quite a popular attraction in the museum. I think this would fit in Brenna's backyard. I think I will mention that she should put one back there!

Blowing Bubbles

Blowing bubbles was another "station" that Isabel visited before she moved on to the giant bubble! It is so amazing to see how much children enjoy the simple things like blowing bubbles, watching pinwheels spin in the wind and using their imaginations.

Bubble Girl

This was a very cool activity that you could do at home! A little tub, soapy water and a hula hoop and you can become a Bubble Girl or Boy! Isabel had fun just making sure the bubble surrounded her. It did take a couple of tries because the bubbles weren't cooperating. A simple activity that can provide quite a bit of fun!

Look at Isabel!

Here is Isabel at the Children's Museum. The mural was painted on a wall outside of the museum. She and I were waiting for the others to meet us there so that we could head on to our next adventure. You can see in her hand that she is holding the pinwheel we bought; she loved watching it spin! While we were in the museum, she was also quite busy with her activities. Here is Papa seeing how tall his baby girl is! And what a big girl she has become!

Myrtle Beach Moments

Isabel found that the boardwalk was the best place to go for a walk with her pinwheel! The wind was blowing and the pinwheel was spinning frantically! It was a pleasure to see her enjoying such a simple thing with a simple toy! These are the moments I live for and enjoy; spending time with my grandchildren is the best thing in the entire world! Looking forward to summer 2011 with all three of them!

Isabel at the Children's Museum

We spent a lovely morning at the Children's Museum in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina during our recent visit with Brenna and family. While we were there, the museum staff had a class on dinosaurs for the children. After the story and question/answer period, they were able to make headpieces representing the "horn" of this dinosaur. It was a real treat to spend this time with Isabel.

Let's Dance!

Hello my blog followers! Most of you know that I was out of town the last six days to attend my Uncle Glen's services in Washington. I just didn't have the time to keep up with my blog during this emotional period and I promise to share at least two postings a day for a week to "catch up".

Happiness is DANCING! I am so thrilled that Isabel is taking tap/ballet and that she is enjoying this experience! These photos made me smile when I took them because I carried her out of the studio (still wearing her tap shoes); placed her on the bench and she "struck the pose"! What an entertainer! Just like her Auntie Heather!

Isabel's First Visit to the Beach

When Isabel moved to Hawaii she was just about seven-months old and it was winter! Look at her enjoying her first touch of the Hawaiian sand and feel of the water. What a lucky little girl she was to live in Hawaii for the first couple of years of her life. She just told me that she loved to make sand castles in Hawaii.

Pretty As a Flower

What a precious little flower! Isabel has always been such a great little poser for photos. These are just so precious. She looks like she is ready to roll away with the little wagon. I am so lucky to have such wonderful grandchildren!

Isabel's First Photo

I can't believe that Isabel was ever that tiny! The time sure has flown by. When I was going through Brenna's photos, I showed this to Isabel and she didn't recognize herself! Then she said, "Oh, I have that little bear". It was a lot of fun scrapbooking with Isabel right next to me. She enjoys the process of finding the pictures, the paper and all the embellishments.
