Short post, fun videos!

Just a quick post here and some fun videos.  It's an absolutely BEAUTIFUL morning after all the rain from Ida.  We did not get hit as hard here as many areas did.  




Tuesday was Lori's birthday.  Anthony asked me to pick up Hunter after kindergarten because he would be birthday gift shopping with Austin.  I was DELIGHTED to do that!  I was making a cake for her when he asked me, but I was able to get it out of the oven just in time before I left. 

I was sitting with another grandma at the pick up spot outside the school, and it was so fun to see our grandsons come out the door.  Hunter was full of giggles!  He was excited to tell me that he had had his first music class that day.

On the way to my house I turned on my phone camera to capture the incredible math class I was in.  Hunter was the teacher.  Oh my goodness, I wonder what in the world his kindergarten teacher is going to do with him!  These videos are short and so cute and astounding, really.








I made a new chocolate cake recipe.  It has a cup of mayo in it!  Very moist!  I also made my favorite, not as sweet frosting recipe.  And I tried doing a little decorating, but that is not my talent at all!  I told Lori I could promise her cake would be delicious, but rather pathetic looking!

But we had fun!  And we filled our bellies with cake and ice cream.  We'll be good some other day!





In my last post I showed you the first day of school pics of Sammy and Bianca and Austin and Hunter.  Here are Jada (4th grade) and Alaya (kindergarten).  Unfortunately after just a couple days of school they are closed due to heavy rain from Ida and flooding in some areas, then they'll have the long holiday weekend.  So it has really squashed the excitement of the first week of school for them.  




I actually forgot to post this picture from Sophie's first day of 11th grade.  What???  I just can't believe it!  George made this collage with her first day of kindergarten picture.  Seems like yesterday, seriously!




Thankgoodness for great grandchildren, but even he insists on growing up fast!  


But he still likes to cuddle with Mama.



I just love my FaceTime calls with Destiny and Elizer.  She sent me this video yesterday morning.  Just TOO sweet!!




Gotta get busy now!  Have a good Labor Day weekend!

Great photos of all your kiddos, and of course that Elizer is adorable! Hunter is amazing. His teacher may want to advance him to 4th grade with those math skills!! Happy birthday to Lori!

That youg picture is how I still think of Sophie. I can't believe she's in 11th grade!
And Hunter is a genius. I can't get over his math brain.
All those grand are so cute!

Glad the rain has gone! But oh the destruction from that storm. So devastating! Have a great holiday weekend!
