Grandparent's Day(s) & New (Boy) Friends :)

This year Grandmother and Mamaw

had to attend TWO Grandparent lunches

at South Bosque!!!

The first day was for the kindergarten

classes...Mamaw could not go that

day becuase of a doctor's appointment so

I joined my mother (really because

I wanted a reason to see how

Haddie was doing at school!!!)

A little treasure for Grandmother.....

A treasure for Hadlee...Grandmother!

Sweet, new friends:)

Haddie Girl was so precious

showing us around her school.....

I LOVED it when I found this...

My sweet girl's art work
 has some personality!!! ;)))

AHHHHHHHHHH...

This is Cannon.  His brother is a friend

 of Walker's and is actually in his

class this year.  Troy and I have

become friends with their parents.

Handsome "Cannonball"!

(He already had told his mom that

Hadlee is the cutest girl in the class!  ha!)

Grandmother and I LOVED being

with Hadlee in her classroom! :)))

These boys asked me to take their picture

with Haddie Cakes ;))))

This adorable little boy's name is BRIGGS.

He has been quite the talk in our house.

In fact, one day Hadlee couldn't get

out of Troy's truck quick enough to

catch up to Briggs!?!?  Daddy and Walker

didn't know WHAT to think about that one!;)
Briggs actually came up to me this day

and said, "Hi, I'm Briggs and I just

hugged your daughter!!!"  I about fell

over and told him that I would be

sure NOT to tell her daddy!!!

The next week I had a parent/teacher conference

(required during the first six weeks) with
Mrs. Decker.  She bragged on our little angel

and told me how she was right on track

and/or above average in certain areas.

Mrs. Janice prepared Haddie very well

academically!!!  She also told me that Haddie

didn't say a word the first three days

of school, but that she was definitely

coming out of her shell and doing great

playing with friends and seemed to be

so happy at school (which I already knew that!).

Mrs. Decker got a big kick out of it when

I asked if Haddie was boy crazy?!?

She said not that she had noticed!!!

Troy and I just had to ask with all

this BRIGGS stuff going on!!!;)))

Hadlee and Taylor

On our way out we just happened to

notice some really cute third
graders having lunch!!!

I so love having a boy! 

Little boys are just something else;)

I knew I wasn't going to be able

to come back the next day to take

pictures so I snapped this one...

The next day was Grandparents' Day for

the third graders AND also Mamaw

was able to come have lunch and a tour

with Hadlee!  Mamaw brought Hadlee

McDonald's and they had a fun time!

I just wish I had been there

 to take their picture:(

Grandmother joined Mamaw for

lunch with the Walker D!

It was Burger King for him;)

 AS ALWAYS, Walker loved having

his grandmothers at school with him

and getting to show them all around

(even though he "had to miss playing

kick ball at recess"!!!!!!!!!)

He is SO proud because Mamaw

bought a book for the South

Bosque Library in Walker's honor!!!

(Hadlee didn't want her to buy

one for her...she is a silly girl!).

This is the book and Walker got

to be the first one to check it out

when it arrived...

This treasure will always be in

the South Bosque Library from

Mamaw to her beloved Walker!!!

I would have given anything to have

known my mother's mother

and even to have known my real

Mema like my sisters and cousins did

(she had a debilitating stroke when I was two).

Both were AMAZING and SWEET ladies.

I do know that much!!!

I'm so thankful that I feel adopted

by Troy's AMAZING grandparents. 

I hope my children never, EVER doubt

how fortunate they are to know and

 love their grandparents. 

They truly are treasures!!!

It is as grandmothers that our mothers

 come into the fullness of their grace.
