Our Cute Kids

Here’s our Miss Chomp at work, smiling away behind the eclairs. How can she help it–honestly?

But wait–who have we here? Why it’s our sweet Lily!

And who’s in the back there?! Could that possibly be our Beckham too?

Holy smokes!! No wonder they are all smiling. I can’t even imagine how much fun they must be having–all three of these guys working together!

Beckham even made my sandwich! Yummm.

Service with a smile from the cutest kids I know….

who have been family and friends…

for positively ever.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One Priceless Little Chickie

This is the story of a little girl…and a chicken. No, no, not a real chicken, a fake chicken.

One day this little girl went to a party and at this party they played a game. You know the game. It’s that one where everybody brings a wrapped white elephant present and puts it in a pile. The people take turns choosing and opening their presents. Then they begin trading and swapping and swiping the presents back and forth until the time is up and the game is over.  You keep the gift you end up with.

Well, this little girl had never played this particular game before and was slightly unclear about the rules. She unwrapped a lovely white and speckled chicken and was positively thrilled about it. Now, it wasn’t that she was crazy about chickens…no, it wasn’t that. But this little girl knew that her Grammy was crazy about chickens and she wanted to give the chicken to her for her birthday. It would be perfect.

So this little girl, being completely content with her gift, skipped her turn each round because she wanted what she had and didn’t want anything else. That strategy worked for awhile. Until, someone else came along–not knowing anything about this girlie’s plan–and took the chicken off her lap and sat down across the room. The little girl didn’t know what to do. She had no more turns left and her chicken was gone. She didn’t make a fuss or commotion of any kind. She just put her head down and quietly started to cry. She couldn’t help it. She was just so sad.

Apparently someone else in the room was watching and paying attention and realized that this particular chicken was very important to this particular little girl, and they still had one turn left.  This sweet person got up and traded their prize for that chicken. When the game was all over this person got up and handed the chicken to our little girl.

She hugged the chicken tight and smiled all the way home.

Thank you for my beautiful chicken Miss Chompy. It means more to me than you’ll ever know.

I’ll love it…

and you…

forever.

love, Grammy

Road Trip To Beaver, Utah

Miss Chomp needed more road hours in order to past her driving class…

so, what better way than to take a 2-1/2 hour road trip to a couple of favorite spots in Beaver, Utah?!!

Being the “foodie” girl that Lyndi is, she knew exactly where we needed to go!

Even out in the middle of nowhere, it’s still beautiful country.

Ahhhhh–our destination is in sight!!

Ok, well, the billboard for our destination is in sight. It’s something at least!

Yummy food–here we come!!

Luckily, there was no one in front of us because we were hungry!

Sweet Lyndi…

got cheese curds and sauce. Ooooh.

 

Magoo and Lyndi both got Tetris Fries…

which even fit together. It was such a challenge. haha.

I ordered a lovely little cheeseburger with extra pickles and they really humored me. Look at that pile of pickles!!

Yeah, we totally waddled out of that place full to the brim and happy as a pile of clams. Oh, but don’t you worry Crazy Cow–we’ll be back soon.

YUM!

Crocheted Sokka

If your family is at all familiar with the series Avatar–the Last Airbender then you will, no doubt, recognize this little fellow.

If not, I’ll help you out just a teensy bit.

His name is Sokka and he’s from the Water Tribe.

I think it would be fair to say that our family loves this show beyond belief.

We love Aang, Katara, Toph, Zuko, Sokka–and all the rest. So much so–that my son–back when he was the “Bald Kid”–

even dressed up at the grown up Aang…

and won 1st Place at the Ebay Costume Contest…remember?  

At some point, I’ll likely make all these cuties from the pattern I found at Crafty Tibbles on Etsy.

But when I offered to make any of the characters for Miss Chomp for her birthday, without hesitation she said, “Sokka, please.”

Done, my dear. Happy Birthday.

Next I’ll probably make my personal favorite– Uncle Iroh!!

Eeeeek I’m sooo excited!

I’ll keep you posted.

Miss Chomp’s Cookies

Been quite a while since this sweet little face has shown up here–right? Well, Miss Chomp and her cute friend Piper got the baking bug one day….

and decided that a boat-load of Oatmeal Farm Cookies were in order.

Which, in my humble opinion–is ALWAYS a good idea!

And then they got real creative and added chocolate chips to the tops. Such a brilliant generation to compliment perfection. Heh, heh.

Pretty sure I’d buy anything these little cuties were selling–wouldn’t you?

Solid win.

I love you Miss Chompy!
