3 kids + 3 spouses = 6 grandbabies

Two years, 10 months ago we were anxiously awaiting our first grandbaby, Chloe. Now we have 6. This was taken on Easter at our house. We had the kids over for an Easter ham and an Easter egg hunt. It was a lot of fun watching the grandbabies look for those eggs. They are as seated Chloe, Elijah, Scarlett, Savannah, Mia and Luke. It looks like Chloe is giving her sweet baby brother a kiss on the head but she is really licking chocolate off of it. Oh well, we girls love our chocolate.

And Introducing.....Savannah Violet Valdes.....

Savannah Violet Valdes was born on 3/21/09, at 10:02 am, weighing 8.7oz. She is, of cours, a cutie-patootie. Mom and Dad are doing really well, and Scarlett is giving her baby sister lots of hugs and kisses, sometimes a little tooo aggressively. Since Savannah was born on my mom's 90th birthday, Cari and Juan wanted to use her middle name of Violet (mom's name is Ruth Violet). My mom was so excited.

My mom turned 90 on saturday. We had a small little birthday party for her with just immediate family. My sister braved the weather over the Sierra's and came down from Virginia City but had to head back early and barely made it back before the road closed. But it was a fun day, starting out with lunch at my house and ending with cake and ice cream at hers. She is in such great shape. She walks miles everyday, still drives, her mind is totally clear, lives by herself, and still kinda scares me when she gets mad. :) We will have a big party for her in June, with my aunt Eve, who will turn 88 (they are the only ones left in a family of 10), so her relatives around the country will be able to come also. Happy birthday Mom! I hope Igot her "energy" gene!

Scarlett turms 2!

Scarlett had her second birthday party on Saturday. I can hardly believe she is 2. She is such a little jibber-jabber. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, stayed in the orchard, for those of you that know Cari, me and my mom. :) Now we are awaiting Scarlett's babysister who is due on my mom's 90th birthday, 3/21. While Juan and Cari are in the hospital, Scarlett and I will be watching Elmo and eating fruit snacks and drinking chocolate milk. Yep, sounds fair to me.
