Playing a game with Danny and Chesca

Pippy Slurping every drop of a grapefruit

Mom and Abigail in hysterics right before they left. If you want to know why ask them:)

Who knew markers were for your face?

If Danny is taking a nap it must be cool.

Christmas 2014

New Year's Eve breakfast with my Aunt Linda and Uncle Walter

Penelope got the sniffles, but thought it was really fun to get tissues from Walter

Pippy bothered Abigail to no end

Talking on the phone

Our Christmas Dinner appetizer - Baked Camembert. Penelope preferred leftover chicken breast and drummie - which she ate nearly all of!

When you're buddies, you fold your legs the same way.

Abs with the Camembert

Pip and Great Grandpa

Great Grandpa Jess with his youngest grandchild. My grandpa is 89 years young and spent 30 hours on a train to come and see us!

No....neither of them were having fun!

Dinner with Friends

These four girls are all about the same age and usually play together really well! (The mom's have fun together too!)

We went to Olivia's to play and do a craft project. Note Pippy's FIRST pony tail!

Later that week we got together with the men and had a wonderful dinner.

 These cool cats add lots of excitement to our lives

These two are pals...

And laying on the stairs was the main event of the evening

Pre Christmas Update

Well hello....I lost the cable to the camera but found a card reader. Anyway, not a whole lot has been going on here with the Wayshetribe, but here are a few picture. Grandma, Abigail, and Great Grandpa Cloyd got here today to spend the holidays with us.

Pippy loves taking care of her babies

making and feeding her babies elaborate meals

We stayed in a hotel and Penelope was very excited to go swimming.

Lots of time swimming

Scavenging for a snack

Did I mention she loves babies?

Pip and dad now have to sit by the 'songs' nearly every night and listen to music or occasionally sing themselves.

So yesterday I was in Walmart...

....this could go anywhere from here, couldn't it?

So I was in Walmart, when I walked by a middle aged man arranging carrots.

Man: "Hey, You've got Alice in Wonderland socks!"

Usually I am totally clueless with any animated characters, so I just sort of nodded politely and kept walking. I was wearing some snowflake tights, rather cute ones, I admit. But after google-ing Alice in Wonderland at home, I found no resemblance.

 The man then runs after me. "NO! That's not right. It's the cat! It's the cat from Alice in Wonderland that has stripes!"

I again said something polite and tried to focus intently on the tomatoes.

"I just can't focus on one thing before I'm distracted and my brain jumps to something else!" he says, setting a bag of carrots on top of some mushrooms. "You see, my wife says I've got ADD, but it's Adult Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder."

Thanksgiving Lunch at the Blue Boar Inn

Sitting down to eat (Joanna kindly took the picture)

 

Pippy liked the large amount of silverware available:)

I fell in love. Everyone ordered the turkey dinner except for me. I tried the pork, and it was insanely delicious. WAY better than any turkey I've ever had, and I like turkey!

Thanksgiving 2013

Taco night Wednesday

We met up with Scott, Geri, Joanna & Philip in Park City, Utah for the Thanksgiving holiday. We rented this condo and are having a blast! 

Pippy loves to be Uncle Phil's 'backpack'

Grampie thought the hair dryer would help get the fire started.

When that didn't work, he tried to blow dry his lovely locks.

Tired and ready for a snuggle
