Reading outside

Ihave just purchased a computer desk a week or so back. My old desk has ben placed on my porch until I get around to either tearing it down for the wood (which I probably will do) or to give it away or take to the dump. Today my grandson Jeremiah came by with a book to read. He chose outside to do his reading!
Now there ain't nutin' wrong with that!

Jeremiah Lee

Kids, Grandkids

My son Travis and his son, my grandson rode bicycles to my house this evening. Travis got off work a little early, so they stopped by. I have not got to see Jeremiah hardly at all this summer, so this was GREAT!!!

 

My son Travis, and my grandson Jeremiah Lee

 

I was not about to let them get away without pictures!

 

Jeremiah Lee and me

 

Jeremiah getting tired of "smiling" for the camera. This is me trying to tickle a smile out of him!

A trip to southern Ca.

 I am going to post this post for April 10th so that I can from this post on place my picture(s) of the day in order. This is just an explanation on why I am doing so. Thanks!

My son Travis and his son (my grandson) Jeremiah Lee live here in Westwood by me. My other 3 sons and my father live in Southern Ca. For the last couple weeks Travis and I were trying to get down there. It was a good time to do so as Jeremiah had spring break coming up, the weather was in our favor (no major snow storms, etc.). I was anxious to see my father. He is 88 years old and has had declining health recently. And for the first time since forever the other 3 sons were for all intents and purposes right next door to each other which meant the 4 sons would all be together again in the same room since my son Troys wedding in May of 2006! The biggest plus was that Troy my one son that lives down there and with whom we would be staying is as close to my Dad's house as if we here in Pinetown/Westwood were driving to Susanville to do some grocery shopping. In other words a very short drive! Travis had not seen his grandfather, (my dad) for over 3 years and Jeremiah was only 3 years old the last time he had seen him.. So I am going to post my pictures of the day except they will not be of my town, they will be of my trip down there.

Disneyland

I have not been to Disneyland since I took my 29 year old son Travis there for his 3rd birthday. Today my daughter-in-law gave me the gift of being able to go again. I sat in the shadows this time as I I watched my son Travis with HIS 7 year old son Jeremiah enjoy the magic.

This is looking down at the submarine ride, pretty eh?

In front of it's a small world. This is one ride that did not lose any magic for me!!!

Pluto

Anybody that reads this blog knows Jeremiah takes a lot of these pictures. I handed him the camera when he was done posing with Pluto to take a picture of me with Pluto. I am 50 something years old and in all my life I have never had a picture taken of me with anyone from Disneyland, and it happened again.For some reason myself with Pluto in picture form was not meant to be!

I was really disappointed, but these sure are adorable of him and Pluto don't ya think?

Jeremiahs baby brother

I have written here before that my grandson Jeremiah Lee who lives in this town with his father my son is the proud big brother Ayden Alexander whom was born last September. Although Travis my son is know longer in a relationship with Cory, Jeremiahs mother, we all remain close. Cory lives just 2 doors away from me and the middle door is an empty house (LOL!!!)
Jeremiah was over visiting when I took him to his moms and when I was there Ayden was really smiling up a storm. Just the cutest little guy. So of course with my camera in hand, today's picture(s) of the day is Jeremiah Lees little brother Ayden grinning the cutest grin!

Is that the cutest smile or what???

Yup, Jeremiah has himself a cute and sweet little brother!

First Place in motorcycle race

Walking to the store I finally found my son and grandson at home. I knew Jeremiah Lee had won 1st place in a motorcycle race but I had not seen the Trophy yet.The largest of course (the blue one) along with his others are all sitting in their living room on this desk.
Yep you can tell dad is proud! And so is grandma!

I just had to have him hold them all. What else is a grandma going to do! LOL!!!

My 7 year old camaraman!

Jeremiah was next door this afternoon, (Jeremiah is my 7 year old grandson) so I gave him a call to see if he wanted to go out with me and take pictures for today's post! He knows all about this blog. He was more than happy to go and we had soooo much fun. After I took a couple (hundred) pictures, I gave Jeremiah the camera. This boy knows how to use a camera, and I definitely know what my next gift to him will be. As the day wore on it got warmer, and I actually had taken my coat off for our walk and Jeremiah had also removed his and carried it. It was probably a sweltering 38 degrees outside. The kind of weather where you sweat when you and your grandson are out playing and having too much fun. So for today is a couple pictures I took of him and a couple pictures he took of me. All in all it was a wonderful day!

Jeremiah trying to step out of a snow angel.

 Old Grandma posing for the cameraman with a peace sign!

Grandma "threatening" him to hurry up or I was going to leave him! (forgetting he had the camera! LOL!!!)

Coat is back on , It's time to go home!!!

And I always save my best for last, and here's the man. 

Yup he's the man!!!

Jeremiah Lee and me out for a walk on a cool March day!!!

It just does not get much better than this!

A spotted snowman

Checking my e-mail at noon for the first time today I was not even dressed yet. Snowing like crazy, I had no intention of going outside. Then the next thing I know my "lil man" Jeremiah Lee, my grandson was standing next to me. I did not even here him come in, but the excitement in his voice was apparent as he said "grab your camera grandma, you got to come over and take a picture of something."

Throwing on a pair of sweats and exchanging my robe for a coat with a hood and beanie, we were off to see what he wanted me to take a picture of!

Jeremiah's mother Cory lives two doors down from me

And he was over there visiting!

The two of them decided to build a snowman together this morning!!!

And the smile on his face

Pretty much tells the rest of the story!

You say it's your birthday!

Today was/is my birthday. I turned plenty-nine. Yep I am plenty-nine years old today. When I opened my eyes for the first time this morning, my hubby said "Happy Birthday , Baby" .
I have to admit I felt as if he was actually waiting for me to open my eyes, so that he could say those words to me. It really started my day out in a great way and I am so very thankful for that.
With that said, and the day beginning, I then received a call from my girlfriend Gayla wishing me the same.When my eyes were opened enough for me to actually see the written word I was bombarded with many wonderful, sometimes humorous and sometimes serious sentiments from a new friend of mine I just met this year via e-mail. It was soooo very wonderful to get these. Its funny, but as the day wore on it became more and more meaningful to get these birthday wishes from my hubby and Gayla and my new friend.
Later on in the day my dear sweet Jeremiah Lee went to his Mom's house who just so happens to live next door to me. (Well there's one empty house in between) So I went there for a visit and Jeremiah and I and his mom Cory took some pictures. So again my picture(s) of the day will be my Jeremiah Lee. These are not the first nor will they be the last I will have for pictures of the day.
I can never get enough of him!!!

 

Soooo here's some posing on Grandma's birthday with her Little man

 

  

This was the actual last one and as you can see by his expression he was done POSIN'

It was like "Grandma, I have had enough!!!"

 

Here he is with his mom Cory and her dog "Jake"

 

I sort of kind of caught them not POSIN' 

They were both giggling because the dog kept making Jeremiah  slip off the snow.

 

And as usual I save my favorite of  the day  for last!!!

Happy Day AFTER Christmas

Walking down the street sleeping, (or so it seemed) brought on by earthquake hysteria and lack of sleep, I am in search of my picture on this beautiful day, when far and away I see, two fine looking young men. One quite a bit younger than the other. A father son perhaps. I get my camera ready when it became apparent in walking a few feet more, that these two belonged to me.

A day after Christmas surprise for mommy/grandma. It was my son Travis and his son,my grandson (Duh!) Jeremiah Lee, walking down the street to see me!

A sweet smile,

And a quick peak at Mom/Grandma's computer.

And then a picture taken by the true photographer in the family, Jeremiah took this of his Dad and his Grandma! and that would be me.

Happy Day AFTER Christmas, from my family (or part of it) to yours!

A Haunting they shall go

And now for later on that night, when my Jeremiah Lee and his Best Friend Mikey and Mikey's little sister Genesee showed up to do a little Trick or Treating, along with their friends Chloe and Carson.

 

Jeremiah Lee left front, Mikey, right front, Carson left back and Chloe in the right front.

 

And this is Genesee in all of her adorable smiling glory. Yes she was named after the Genesee Valley which is right outside of  Taylorsville Ca. And I do think this is such a beautiful name to go with this delighfuly cute little girl .

First off they showed up in style, by bus!

Majors Outpost, a boat and  jet ski rental place at beautiful Lake Almanor, and ran by Mikey and Genesee's parents, Joe and Theresa Majors
 I just had to go grab my camera and go inside. Of course I was using this blog as an excuse, but you can add nosy to that also. I just had to see inside.

 

This is where I found  the boys in the back of the bus. LOL!!!
