Wedding Day Smiles, page two

Here is the second page of the "Wedding Day Smiles,". I wish I had more pictures of everyone who was there!  I don't think there is one of me. Lol!   Look at that mustache on Michael!

Life is a Joy Ride - Little Rudy

This is the second page from yesterday's posting.  I loved these photos of Little Rudy from 2012.  He is full of energy and makes me smile.  The papers and design for these pages are for Quick Quotes.  Life is a joy ride when you are surrounded by family and friends!

Enjoying Life - Little Rudy Style

Rudy's favorite activity at our house is dancing to the Damce Party Wii games!  He is very good and does have his favorites!  This one is done to the song, " Moves like Jagger!"  Here is a warning though, you will have to dance too!

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.  

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!  

Birthday Presents!

He really wanted it!

I wish you could have seen the look on his face when everyone was singing Happy Birthday to him.  It is on an earlier page I did, he's standing next to Brenna.  Rudy was so happy!  And when he was opening his presents, he was overwhelmed in a quiet way!  Here he is just wanting to open this gift (a car wash!)  He played with it as soon as we were back at his home.  He handled all of the commotion just great!  I think Isabel was just as excited as he was!  She enjoyed his gifts too!

Little Rudy's Birthday!

Toy Story Party!

One of the reason's we went to North Carolina in October, was to celebrate Little Rudy's 3rd Birthday!  I have been fortunate enough to celebrate each of his special days with him!  From his birth to his 3rd!  And this year, Roy was able to be there too!  Brenna had his party at a very fun place for the kiddos!  Lots of jumping "things", they even let the parents jump with them.  Isn't his cake just special!  Rudy loves the Toy Story characters and the cake included his favorites!  Happy Birthday Little Rudy!  You are so loved and so special to all who know you!

Playing With Trains

What little boy doesn't love trains? And at the Children's Museum they were able to play to their heart's delight! I wish he had the space in his bedroom for a train table. We sent him a wooden train set but it would be great to have it set up all of the time. The layout I did here and the one before were a challenge I took on from the Creative Keepsake website. Using three 4x6 photos and what you have at home in your supplies......these two layouts were completed in less than an hour.

Inspired Play at the Childrens Museum

Here is Little Rudy riding on the Magic School Bus. It was a half-size bus and it gave the children the feeling they were riding on a real bus! You even had a ticket and could pretend that you were the driver and were taking everyone on a magical trip! I wonder where he was taking us!

Busy Boy at the Childrens' Museum

Here is my very busy boy, Rudy, having a fantastic time exploring at the Childrens' Museum. So many activities that kept him so busy and the grown-ups tired from following Rudy and Isabel around. I'm glad that Brenna exposes her children to these types of outings. These day trips are the best for every family!

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!

So Many Things to Do at the Museum

There was literally so much for the children to do at the museum. Here is Little Rudy playing with the largest Light Brite I have ever seen! He also had a blast trying out the "just my size" dental chair and the car was actually half of a VW Bug / stick shift! I just kept following him all around with my camera. This is when I decided I need a camera that takes multiple shots in less than 15-seconds! Is there one like that?

Exploring the Museum

Rudy loved exploring at the museum. You had to keep moving just to keep up with him! He loved all the freedom to touch and explore. Truly another great experience for Rudy and Papa! I'm glad that Roy was there too because there would be no way I could have been taking the photos and then following our grandchildren.

Fun at the Children's Musuem of South Carolina

What a fun time everyone had at the Children's Museum in Myrtle Beach! Quite a few things to see and touch! Even a dinosaur lesson for Isabel! I will be sharing more layouts showing the little ones enjoying their experience. The size of the museum made it easy for all the children to have fun. There weren't long lines or pushy parents there! If you find yourself in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with young children, head on over to CMSC and watch them discover fun!

Last Night in North Carolina

Our last evening in North Carolina we enjoyed a fireworks show put on my Rudy! We had stopped at a fireworks stand in South Carolina where Roy and Brenna picked up a stash of fireworks (legal to buy there). Since they live out in the country, we were treated to our own pyrotechnic display! Look at Little Rudy's face. Their faces are as bright as the fireworks! Thank you my North Carolina family for a great evening!

Let's Play in the Rain

What little boy doesn't like playing in the rain or in the puddles left by rain? Little Rudy was enjoying his new "hot tub" created by the 20-inches of rain during a three-day period in North Carolina! It sure was a moment Roy and I were glad to see. He didn't want to come back into the house and the water was cold! LOL...I love how he finds enjoyment in the simplest things...oh to be a kid again!

Beach Bum

Oh, I remember this photo. Little Rudy is just one-years old and I was there with Heather to celebrate his first birthday! One of the great things about being in Hawaii in October is that you are still able to enjoy the beach scene. We were at Turtle Bay, one of my favorite places to go. I'm just putting up this photo because the vast majority of Brenna's photos are still on her computer.....we need to get them printed and in an album! I am going to be forwarding quite a few photos tonight!

The Rudy's Meet for the First Time

This is what I consider the first official photo of Father and Son! What a handsome pair of guys! I'm so grateful to have an outstanding son-in-law who is also a great father and husband. He and Little Rudy are quite a duo! Now, Big Rudy's hair is like Little Rudy's!

Brenna's Beach Babies

I love these photos of Brenna's babies! Isabel and Rudy are true little beach babies! The one of Isabel in the turtle float was taken at our vacation place on Maui. She was just over a year old and really loved the water. The other two photos were taken at one of my favorite resorts on Oahu, Turtle Bay. See the sand on Little Rudy's head...that was my bad! I put sunscreen on his head and he liked to put sand everywhere! LOL Looking forward to next summer with my family in Hawaii!!
