"Wrapped in Support" needs your help!

I wanted to give a shout out to any of you who are willing to help. Please go to wrappedinsupport.blogspot.com. They have a goal of making 400 blankets for each of the soldier of 3-1 Aviation returning home after serving 15 months in the War Zone. They only have 213 that have been received up to date. They only have nine days left and if you could help and just make one blanket it would help so much. All of the information is on her blog and the directions are all the way at the bottom. This is just one way that we can thank the men and women who have done so much to serve our country.

Titan Homecoming...

Yesterday was homecoming for Syracuse High, Cortney of course being on the drill team got to be in the parade and this is their float. Cortney is standing in front with her friend Darian. They are so cute!

Cortney and Darian were a little scared to climb on the fire truck at first so they opted to ride in the ambulance to the start of the parade! They are so funny.

This is a pose of them at the beginning of their dance at the pep assemble, Cort is the blonde in the white shirt towards the left. I love to watch Cortney dance, she is such a beautiful dancer.

This is the flag ceremony before the football game, Cort holds the state flag at every game, she did this last year and this year.

This was Jed's first time to play in the band at a game, it was GREAT to have the band there, they help with the home team making a lot of noise and they also played the entire game. Thanks Jed and band for keeping the game so up beat!

This is a picture of the drill team doing their kick line routine, let me just tell you that it was awesome. I didn't get a video, I wish I would of. They nailed everything.

And of course the end of the game, Syracuse won which is awesome, last year being a new school they didn't win one game, this year they have won all but one. The announcer said that no one would be allowed on the field, the kids were so excited that the police finally said, oh go ahead! It was a fun day with Cortney and Jed.

Cookies...

Anyone who has ever tasted Doug's chocolate chip cookies knows how wonderful they are. For over ten years he has been making them every Sunday. I know that it is Devyn's favorite day because she gets to have COOKIES! She almost refuses to go home until she gets some hot cookies and milk. Doug used to let our kids sit on the counter and help him, now they are kind of big and so now the tradition is being passed on to our cute grandson. Does life ever get any better than just being together and making such sweet memories?

My little ones...

Jaxon is getting so big and loves to do everything he can. I showed him my chair that gives massages and he thinks it is so fun to sit there and get him back rubbed. He is so much fun. I just love him to death!

I just love my new granddaughter, Abby, she is so sweet and such a good baby. I feel so blessed to have a new little one in my life.
I just want to kiss her and snuggle with her all day long, isn't that what grandma's are for?

No boundaries...

Jaxon thinks that he is so cool now because he can open doors! He is growing up so fast and learning to do things that we are just not ready for.
He knows that he needs someone to be with him when he goes outside so he gives you the look - (I know I am not suppose to but...)
... off into the world he goes...

So I thought that Jaxon would just love to play in the little swimming pool, so we blew it up and filled it with water. This is as close as he wanted to get, I don't know if it was to cold or what but he had a great time with his shovel throwing water at him and me.
He just looks so stinkin cute in his swimming suit. We had a good time. But what he really kept wanting to do was ride Jed's bike, he LOVES the ATV's, I think he would sit on them all day if you would let him.

Something new...

I learned how to crochet around a baby blanket! I know that a lot of you already know how to do all of this crafty fun stuff, but I did not. I had so much fun making a couple of blankets for my new granddaughter that will be here soon. I thought they turned out so cute, they look like a blanket with a little boa around them, I think it will be great to tickle her with. But I loved learning so I could be more like a grandma! haha!
