Grandkids Make Me Happy

C-GIRL
Friends as cute as friends can be.

Down the hill with shouts of glee.

Make a chain and holler, "Whee!"

B-BOY
Catch a ride, then holler, "Whoa!"

(He's a gunslinger, you know.)

A real tough guy, as tough guys go.

J-MAN
Make each climb on eager feet.

Bag a salamander. Neat!

Holler "Victory." (It's sweet!)

GRANDKIDS...
make my life complete.

I LOVE your "holler Victory" photo! What adorable kids!

Gina Kleinworth said...

That looks like a whole lot of fun. My mom is actually here visiting right now- so I love seeing a grandmother's perspective on grandchildren. It's so sweet!

karen said...

Ain't it the truth! Cute photos. They look like such fun kids.

LeAnn said...

Awesome thoughts and pictures of your adorable grandchildren. Life is so wonderful when you can be with a grandchild. I have only one family that is near enough for frequent visits. I love your poetry.
Your book helped me again with a daughter who is struggling with anxiety and slight depression. The chapter was Overcoming: Fear Not, For Joy Cometh In The Morning.
It was an answer to prayer. This is amazing!
Blessings and hugs for you! LeAnn

How sweet are they?! What great photos and such a sweet poem to go with them. I love my own grandkiddos and get so much joy out of watching them grow and change. The little pleasures that make life complete.

FYH said...

I can tell your are a really proud grandmother. Great shots...so much fun!

Carletta said...

All the shots are wonderful! I have three Grandkids and couldn't agree with you more that they make my life complete.
Love the Victory shot - lovely!

My kids are still little and I'm already hurtin' for grandchildren

I am crazy, I know.

Darlene said...

Love those pictures of the grandchildren. The only problem is that they grow up too fast. I'll be happy when some more of them come along. If only the rest of the group would get busy. Karin needs to adopt, Ryan needs to get married, Ditto Todd, although I'm sure he feels that Med School needs to come first. (Still there are a great many medical students who marry and let their wives help support them.) Oh well, in the meantime we still have those three darling ones to enjoy. I'm looking forward to seeing them soon on our "family meets Stacy" weekend.

Donna said...

I'm with ya sista!! They are like a breath of fresh air or a step back in time to my heart! Yours are exceptionally cute and you have wonderful photographs of them in action!! Sweet moments that you love to freeze with your camera forever!

Karen Mortensen said...

How fun. They are so cute.

Wendy said...

Aren't children wonderful? Boys with their stick guns and girls with their bonding even on a sledding hill. You are rich beyond any monetary wealth.

Jess said...

I love that Bryce makes guns out of sticks- your grandkids are super cute!

Jenny said...

Awwww, adorable pictures...adorable words!

rebecca said...

Unknown said...

Oh aren't they adorable. You could seriously print this post into a blog book with that poem and pictures as a gift to them. So cute.

Stef said...

Some pretty cute offspring you have there.

CB said...

Grandma Honey said...

Oh yes, grandparenting is the 2nd best thing next to parenting. But I have to admit, I have time to totally enjoy the grandkids more. I was too busy when I was doing 24/7 parenting.

Lisalulu said...

ohhhh that is so cute, and I mean the kids, and the pics and the poem about each one, they are so lucky to have you for a grandma!

People Who Know Me Would Say: said...

You will undoubtedly be the most popular grandmother around with this post! Wonderful!!!

Terra said...

and somehow I think it is safe to assume you complete theirs as well.

Robert Brault said...

What a treat! Your verse is always delightful and true, whether attached to snapshots of grandkids or treasured memories stitched into quilts. Thanks for the reminders that happiness is all around.

alpinekleins said...

What lucky grandkids they are to have such a grandmama as you! I'm sure they treasure all their times at Grandma's house!
