Quote from Grandmom

My Grandmom Wertz wins the award for best quote of the week! She was sharing about her recent early morning trek to Winchester for an appointment and said the following: I left the house at 6:30 this morning while it was still blacker than the ace of spades outside. Nice, Grandmom!

Dakota and Cheyenne spent all of last week at Aunt "Trishwa's" house!

They loved playing Jenga!

We spent several days at the Cordelia Park swimming pool.  Only 1$ to get in!

We made sugar cookies to test out Cheyenne's Princess cookie cutters.

Chey and Dakota both participated in Grace Covenant's VBS: The Winning Edge

Dakota eating one of our homemade popsicles:
sliced bananas, raspberry and orange juice.

yum!

One difference between girls and boys: 
Girls use potholders for baking, but boys use them for BOXING!

Enjoying our cookies

19. Have my nephew over for a weekend

It was Dakota's turn to spend the weekend at "Aunt Trishwa's."  

He showed me how to fly like a dragon and fight off intruders.

He loves the movie How to Train Your Dragon

21. Visit Memaw in VA

This year Memaw hired a photographer to take family pictures :)

20. Visit Grandmom Wertz in VA

I had a great visit with my Grandmother over Thanksgiving weekend. She makes the best toast!! I am not sure if it the bread or the toaster or the fact that she makes it, Gramma's toast is by far the best toast I have ever eaten!

Thanksgiving at Gramma's House

The cousins!

Yum! Dinner! Thanks grammom!

Aunt Keri did NOT have anything to do with any spilled drinks,
no matter what any other people might insinuate (uncle steve)
