TWINS!!

The school told Randi and Efrain we need to call the twins by their names, no longer can we get them to follow us, or get them to come where we need them to come by yelling "TWINS!" We must call them by Isiah and Isaac. Can you tell who is who??? Grandma/GeeGee was just here and I asked her to look at this picture and to tell me these boys don't look different. She declared "no they look very different!" and then told me their names, she got it backwards!!

I can almost always get it right, except on Christmas Day when they were on the floor opening presents. I had something in my hand for Isaac and was yelling above the loud din of voices "look up, look up!!" Randi was looking at me like I was crazy. I told her " yeah, I can tell them apart if they show me their faces, but the top of their heads are just the same!!"

Well have you figured it out yet??? Yes, the twin on the right is Isaac, he is still just a tiny bit shorter and has a higher pitched voice, Isiah is on the left, he remains a bit taller, with a deaper voice and darker hair. Somethings are just the same, they are equally easy to love and are both the cutest boys we know. (except CJ, he is just as cute!)

Cute Kids and Christmas Cookies

Randi and Jenni and Isaac and Isiah all went to Aunt Petra's to frost cookies with CJ. I have to say these are the cutest kids ever. Jenni loves to hug but macho CJ is not sure he loves it as much as she does. Isiah and Isaac were loving the fact that someone (on purpose) gave them cookies and frosting and candy to decorate the cookies!! They were in heaven!

Isaac decided he had better make sure the cookies were good enough for everyone else!!

Jenni, is always the good girl, she has her plate of cookies and came out of it clean. It cracks me up to watch her with the boys, she never gets anything on her clothes, but Isiah and Isaac are covered in whatever they were doing.

They are so sweet they dropped off a plate of cookies for Grandma and Papa.

Made with love!!

Lottery wins!

We have had a wonderful weekend. Friday night CJ came to stay with us. Petra and I went to work a Chocolate fountain. It was in downtown Sacramento and we were lost for 40 minutes! Well before all the blond jokes start, they gave us the wrong address. But Ed had a night out with friends and so CJ stayed with Papa. When I got up Saturday morning there he was. He is so fun to hang out with. His first words were "Pancakes!" While we were doing the normal Saturday morning stuff he says to me "Grandma, thanks for taking care of me, I like it here!" I won the lottery!! or you would have thought, what joy that child brings to us.




Well, our day didn't stop there, Randi and Efrain were going out and asked us to come stay with the kids. Since my oven died I was going to bake cookies there. So we ended out the day with picking up a Pizza and going to play with the rest of our Grandchildren. They always act as though a rock star has come in the house when we arrive. They scream and run toward us with hugs and kisses. I will tell you we normally see them 3 to 4 times a week, it is always the same, they just love us no matter what!! Jenni and her Papa had to go take Allie to the dance and the boys and I watched Home Alone 2. They dance to the music in the movie and when I went in to make a batch of the cookie, Isiah followed me, he is so interested in cooking, he likes to eat but more than that he wants to know how things go together, yeah at age 4 he needs to know how come I was melting the butter and then put graham crackers with it. He is going to be a cook someday. Isaac wanted to sit with me and tell me all about the presents under the tree and what would happen to me if I touched any of them, especially the ones with Isaac's name on them. I was trying not to laugh because he was so serious, but he was so cute. He was telling me all this and then leaned on me and said, "Grandma, you my best friend" Another Lottery win!!
Jenni and Papa came back and Jenni preceded to tell me everything they did, exactly what Allie and her friends were doing. It cracked me up, she came in the house and had to go get her lipstick (her flavored chapstick) and put some on and then within a few minutes she had climbed in Papa's lap and curled up to watch the movie. She looks at me with her precious smile, so content in her world and says "I like when you and Papa come to my house"
I am sure that having extra money would be nice, but we sure won the lottery of Grand kids!
