Multi-purpose Tree Skirt....

This year decorating the tree brought about a whole new meaning to decorating. Me being me, and me being OCD and having to have everything on the tree just right, having a 2+ y/o, well that wasn't going to happen the way it used to.

My first concern was, is the tree going to stay in an upright position. You would have thought we had a cat in the house, because Jetta was completely enamored with the tree and pulling on the branches. When we first brought it home and put it up, she kept wanting to pull on the branches and give me the needles. After getting sap on her hands, oh a hundred times, she finally lost interest in that.

Then it came time to start decorating. We put the lights and garland on first and that was all we had on for a couple of days. She thought that was very pretty and decided to take a few swipes at it with one of her toys, just to watch them swing. I thought to myself, maybe this is all the more we should decorate this year, as the ornaments we have are glass...yep glass and those won't just swing! As we started to take on that adventure she kept wanting to hand me the ornaments. Shannon would slowly hand them to her and tell her to give them to mommy and she would, only to tell me, mommy put it here and she would attempt to hang it and I would have to quickly grab it before it would fall to the floor, since it was not hanging on anything.

By now I was stressed, so we just started to give her the smaller, plastic ones that we have and the bows. She was very cute, but it was very stressful. Each time I would put something on, she would tell me "good job mom". I guess she got that from me, cuz when we read at night and do flash cards, I always tell her good job. Sometimes she wants to be a big girl and do both parts, mine and hers all by herself, so she'll do the flash card, say what it is, lay it down and tell herself, good job...it's very cute.

So, fortunately, without incident we got the tree all decorated and put our Santa on top. She was very excited. The only thing left was to dig out the tree skirt. So, I pulled it out and laid it on the floor. I guess it caught her attention. I left the room and came back in and there she was, all in her glory, she had it all unfolded and around her neck like a cape, dancing around with it, telling me, "look mommy, I'm Cinderella". So, precious. I just smiled and told her to let me tie it on her. Needless to say, Shannon hurried off to get the camera. So, she just smiled and said cheese. She kept taking it off and asking me to tie it back on. So, that is why I titled this....multi-purpose tree skirt, cuz now I will never be able to look at that tree skirt again without remembering the year she picked it up and put it on and danced like Cinderella!

These are the memories that I will never forget and what Christmas is truly about...not all the presents, not all the hustle and bustle. I can't wait for Christmas morning and hopefully a few more Christmas memories.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Cow princess...

These pictures are of Jetta being a cow princess....a cow princess you ask? Last year my friend Tiffany's mom, Nana, gave Jetta a tuta and flower headband for Christmas. Up until recently it was too big and Jetta really wasn't much into being a princess.

However, ever since she put on her ladybug costume for Halloween and it had a tutu and I pulled out her pink tutu from Nana, she has decided she wanted to wear it and be a princess. So, recently she had on her cow pj's and she and I were in her room and she said, "mommy, shhhh, I was surprise, daddy, I wanna be a princess" and I was like okay, why not, you go right ahead and you be a cow princess. So, we put on her tutu and headband and out she went, all in her glory, and there she was a cow princess.

Shannon had to get pictures. She was just dancing around and having a blast. She has a bit of time keeping on the headband, but she just loves wearing the tutu. Lately, she has been pretend playing more and will go off and play a little more by herself, but you just never what that might bring.

Some days that might be a trashed bedroom, some days she'll fix her own hair, which I'll include a couple of those pics and others she'll just play and call me in there to play with her. She's growing up so fast. However, it's amazing to see how she's growing and to see her little personalty come out. Anyway, hope you enjoy the pictures. They are rather precious and I know Nana will appreciate them...thanks Nana for the tutu....she loves it.

Jetta and Santa Claus....

A few weeks back we went out to the Mills Mall in hopes to see Jetta at the local Babies R Us. After we visited the store we went over to the mall to shop a bit and get a bite to eat.

Shannon's Dad and stepmom came down for the day to hang out with us and wanted to see if they could see Jetta as well. As we were walking through the mall, we came across the Santa display. We had no idea that he was even there yet, as it was before Thanksgiving, so wasn't even expecting him.

However, Jetta realized it was him and she took off. Thank goodness no one else was in line or I think they may have gotten ran over. She was gone and I couldn't even catch up. She was up there and in front of him in no time, stopped and said "hi". It was so cute.

To my surprise it was the same Santa as last year (the one who could make me a believer). I was very happy, cuz maybe it will make her believe that there truly is a Santa.

Up she went, she climbed right up next to him and sat down. She didn't set on his lap, but she was just a smilin' fool. They were snapping pictures, pretty much before they were even sure I was buying a package.

Needless to say, dollars later and a happy child, she had her visit with Santa and we didn't have to wait in line. I'm going to attach a couple of the pictures.

I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year....she is really excited and seems to be catching onto the concept. When she is bad, I keep saying "do you want Santa to come" and she says "yep" and I say "then you better be a good girl" and she will behave for a little bit....wonder how long that game will last!

Our trip to Souf Dakota

Well, here it is, another month has gone by and I haven't posted. I can't believe it's already been a month since we visted Souf Dakota. The times just flies by way too quickly. I can hardly believe that today is December 1st.

Our trip to Souf Dakota was very nice. Both the weather and our time there. We arrived on Thursday, November 4th late afternoon. We left St. Louis late morning and the weather was very nice. We weren't sure how it would be once we got to Omaha so we packed for cooler temperatures. Much to our surprise when we arrived it was in the mid-50's. We got our rental car and headed north, expecting it to get much colder. As we got into South Dakota, it was unseasonably warm. It was near 60 when we arrived. I was hoping it was going to stay that way for our whole trip.

When we got in Jetta was very happy to see that Grandma had kitties. For whatever reason, Jetta seems to really like cats. Not sure if it's because we don't have any or if she truly is going to be a cat lover. Not sure how well that is going to work out for her, considering both Shannon and I are dog lovers, but since she pretty much runs the house, I can see that one day we may well have a cat. We could barely get in the house fast enough and she was wanting to go right back outside. Since my mom lives on nearly 13 acres, she has quite a few farm cats. Fortunately we were able to distract her for awhile with enough inside that she forgot about them until Grandpa got home.

After we got settled and Jetta got familiar with Grandma's house Grandpa came home and we had dinner. After dinner, Jetta remembered that there were kitties outside and wanted to let them in. So, Grandpa being a kitty lover himself, he couldn't say no. So, they brought in one of the more tame ones and Jetta was in heaven. However, I'm not so sure the kitty was....beings Jetta hasnt' really been around them too much, she wasn't really to sure how to hold it and so the poor kitties neck was where she choose to hold it vs around it's belly. We finally convinced her to sit down with Grandpa on the floor and hold it there. That was a much better fit, both for her and the kitty and I think the kitty was much happier there. After awhile I finally got her to give up the kitty and put it back outside. However, this event became the desired event for the weekend. I will attach pictures showing just how much she enjoyed this and how much the kitties did not!

Friday was a day of shopping in town. Much to our surprise it was another gorgeous day. I truly wasn't convinced I was in South Dakota. I thought possibly I was somewhere else. Here I had packed our winter coats and here it was nearly 70 degrees. Not that I was complaining, but I was shocked. It was great! It was nothing like I remembered from growing up. We had a great day of shopping in town. Of course the day went by way and it was time to head home. We drove back and couldn't believe that it was after 6 and it was still light, another thing I miss about home....if we were in St. Louis, it would have been dark more than a hour earlier. While I like the hustle and bustle of the city life, there are definitely things about home that I do miss....long days, beautiful fall days, my family and I'm sure there are other things, I just can't think of them right now.

My mom cooked us an amazing dinner that night and then we played Yahtzee. It was like old times. Jetta tried to play too, but that didn't go so well, but the one time she did roll for me....I got a Yahtzee....so I wasn't gonna complain about that.

Saturday was going to be a big day. Jetta was going to pick her first pumpkin and Saturday night we were going to have a party so that Arland's family could meet Jetta, as well as some of mom's and Arland's church friends. Additionally, my uncle Tim and his wife, Jill from my home town were coming in and I couldn't wait to see them.

So, first thing Saturday morning, Jetta, my mom, Arland and Shannon headed out to pick the pumpkins that my mom had been saving for Jetta. Jetta was excited once she realized what they were going to do. Shannon snapped some great pictures. My mom saved some of the best pumpkins for her. The pictures are great. So, now she has picked her first apples, her first pumpkins and before long we'll go get our Christmas tree. We got a real tree last year, but she really didn't understand, so hopefully this year it will be more fun. Once they were done with that, well, I'm sure you can guess....she was distracted and off she went....to the kitties....again, the poor kitties didn't have a chance. She was holding them by the neck and was just as happy as could be. Again, Shannon got some cute pics, which I will attach.

Then we hung out a bit and then got ready and headed into town. We went into the water falls and again it was another beautiful day. Jetta, Shannon and Arland went down to the rocks and again Shannon got some great pictures of Jetta. He also took some before we left the house, out on my mom's farm. And, again Jetta's chasing the kitties....so maybe we won't be getting a kitty, cuz she just wouldn't leave them alone.

Now it was time to head to the party. I was very excited to go and for my mom to introduce Jetta to everyone. It was a great turnout. I think there were better than 50 people. I was happy to see so many people come and support us and want to meet Jetta. We all ate and then told them a little bit about Jetta and our journey to getting her. People were very generous and gave Jetta some wonderful gifts. When my uncle Tim and Jill arrived I was very emotional, it was great to have family come and to come from so far away. It really meant alot. It has been quite some time since I've seen them. It was nice to have a part of my family to be there. We visited quite a bit and it was hard to tell them goodbye. I really appreciated my mom putting together such a nice party and for everyone coming out and wanting to meet Jetta it was a very special evening.

Sunday, Arland's sister and her family, as well as Arland's dad, Russell came over for lunch and we all hung out. It was nice to see them and to be able to spend some time with them. They had to head back to Minnesota that afternoon, as the kids had school the next day. It was great to see them, as I only get to see them when I'm home visiting my mom. I'm glad they were able to make the trip. Again, we had another very nice day.

Now the trip was coming to an end. Monday was just around the corner. Unfortunately my mom had gotten sick on Saturday night, so she wasn't feeling the best. I hated to go, but we knew the trip was going to be short. However, we had been fortunate enough to have seen each other twice in the past 2 months, so it was nice that this had made it 3 times. Hopefully we'll be able to see each other again soon. Our trip was great and am glad we were able to make it before the weather turned bad.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and again sorry for my delay in getting this posted.

Jetta and Kiddie Kandids....

Last year we decided to sign Jetta up with a local modeling agency and this past August they contacted us with Jetta's first professional modeling job. A local company in St. Louis, CPI contacted them and wanted to hire Jetta for a winter ad campaign for Kiddie Kandids.

I wasn't exactly sure what that meant, but was excited to get the call, but nervous at the same time. We only had a few days to get ready and beings it was mid-August and they were doing a winter ad, I was hoping I had something that would work for a winter shoot. They asked that we bring a minimum of 3 outfits and no more than 5. I was thinking, I'm glad Jetta hadn't grown alot since the past winter and that I had shopped so much in the 3 years that I waited for her.

I went home that night and went through the tubs of clothes I have in the basement, both from the prior winter season and the tubs for the upcoming winter season and was able to pull together what I believed would be 5 outfits. The only thing I really needed were tights and was hopeful that maybe Old Navy would come through for me on that. Jetta was a bit confused why she was trying on winter clothes when she was running around in shorts and sandals.

The next night we did go shopping and were lucky enough to find some tights and thank goodness that's all we needed cuz they didn't have anything winter related out yet, despite you can go to other stores and buy Christmas stuff, but not winter clothes in August I guess. I'm just happy she hadn't grown much and many of her 12 month clothes still fit and the 18 month stuff I did have wasn't to big. Once we got home I spent time ironing and preparing for the big day.

We got up early and got a bath and headed into St. Louis, not knowing exactly what to expect. We had the first appointment of the day. All I knew was they had two days of photo shoots and once they were done they would then decide which kids they would select for the actual campaign. So, despite being chosen for the shoot, there was no gaurantee that we would actually make the cut. Once we got there, they looked through our outfits and chose a red dress that I had brought along and we got started.

The ladies were all very nice and they really meshed well with Jetta. Of course since we were the first of the day, there were a few hiccups with the props and backdrops, but Jetta handled it all well and she was in a great mood for the entire shoot. Kiddie Kandids is the company that works with Babies R Us and they take photos within the Babies R Us stores. Not all stores actually have the photo studios within them, but many of them do. I believe they are trying to expand this part of the business, so watch for them to possibly come to your area if they are not already there.

As the morning progressed they took about 70 pictures of Jetta and spent about an hour and a half with her. Once the hour and half started to get close to that finishing point Jetta started to wear down and they said when does she normally take a nap and she had started to come over to me and was starting to put her thumb in her mouth and I said, well about now and I pretty much think she's done and they said, let's call it, I think we've got enough. They were very respectful of the time and of her. I was very happy with them. They were great and I would definitely work with them again given the opportunity.

Once we were done we had no idea when or if we would hear from them again. After about a month and half I called over to CPI, the company who took the pictures and asked if there would be any way I could get any of the photos they had taken of her since it was her first photo shoot and they called me back that day. In speaking with the marketing manager, he asked who my daughter was and I told him. He said, he wasn't sure if would be able to and that it was ironic that I was calling that day, because they were actually deciding over the next two days which children they were going to be using in the ad campaign and that he would probably need a couple of days to determine if he could provide me with a disc of any of the images and also if they would be using my daughter.

To my surprise he called me back within 40 minutes and left me a message. He said that he would be able to provide me with a disc and that they would definitely be using Jetta for the campaign and would be using her in all 3 medias....internet, in-store and direct mailings. At this time I have been able to see several of the internet ads both on their website (www.kiddiekandids.com) - when they first released the ad campaign on November 1st (where she has 2 images), then a recent ad for 20% of a collage print (where you'll notice her name is Bella - creative huh...not Jetta which I guess they probaby can't use her real name and I'd rather they not, but fully they say Bella), then we have been able to see poster and translucents in two of the local stores in St. Louis(which I'll include the pictures we took), but unable to actual see any direct mailers. I had asked for a direct mailer, but at this point have not seen one(and don't want to be that mom that bothers CPI and never get another job!).

So, as you can imagine I am a very proud mommy. I have showed Jetta herself on the Kiddie Kandids website and she says "who are those kids and then she'll see herself and say, there I am and then as it cycles through, she'll say, here comes Jetta"....it's very cute. Then I showed her the recent ad and she said, that's me. When we were at the store, she says "that's me" and just smiles. I don't think she understands, but realizes it's her. Again, we have no idea if this is her first, only or last ever, but it is very exciting and we are very proud of her. The only reason we ever even signed her up for this was for the opportunity to save for college.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and some of the ad material. Sorry for the long post, but wanted to share the whole story with you. As always thanks for following along. These are just some of the pics, as I don't want to bore you with all 70 images!

Halloween 2010....

Well last year Jetta was a Panda Bear and this year she was a Lady Bug...we haven't stretched our imaginations to far just yet. However, she made quite the cute panda last year and quite the cute lady bug this year.

This year was so much fun. She really understood what was going on and really enjoyed the whole going up to the door and "trick or treating"....well should I say, knocking and then opening the people's doors! Fortunately pretty much everyone in our small 27 house neighborhood knows who she is, so it wasn't a problem and they were all pretty much on their way to the door as she was opening it anyway. It was very cute. As they were filling her bag, she was smiling from ear to ear. Then she would turn around say "thank you" and take off, run back to her wagon and dig in, looking for the best piece she could find. The real challenge was keeping her from opening a piece at at each house. I did give in and let her eat a few pieces and fortunately there we no belly aches and it didn't keep her up to late.

After we finished the houses in our neighborhood we headed the our friends Jason and Dora's and Jetta helped Dora hand out candy. She seemed to have just as much fun doing that.

It is so great watching her enjoy these special days. I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year,as she will enjoy it even more than last year. It is great seeing the excitement through her eyes. I just don't want her to grow up to fast and it seems as if it is already happening. I want to enjoy as much as I can.

Attached are some pictures from her second Halloween, hope you enjoy them.

Grandma Peters visits....

First of all I have to apologize to Grandma Peters, just like I had to Grandma Alexander, as my schedule is so busy, time just doesn't permit me to post until weeks after their visits....so sorry Grandma that this is weeks late!

However, we had a great visit with you. Grandma came in mid-week and I worked on Thursday so Jetta and Grandma could spend the day together, just having fun. And if both of them being asleep in the chair when I came home was any indication of how hard they played together and how much fun they had, I would say it was a pretty good day. It was cute, my mom was sitting up and Jetta was sprawled out in her lap. I picked Jetta up and laid her on the couch and then my mom and I visited for a bit while Jetta slept. Shannon was out of town, so we had the evening to just the three of us.

Unfortunately, Friday we didn't wake up to such a good day. When Jetta had gone to bed Thursday night she had mentioned that her mouth hurt, but didn't really tell me where or say much more than just that. However, she did wake up just before we went to bed and ended up sleeping with me and had a very fitful night of sleep. She woke up burning up and I just thought possibly she had had a night terror, as she had been having them off and on. However, once we finally got up for the day, it was much worse than that. She was very clingy, so we knew we she wasn't feeling well and needed to call the pediatrician. My mom and I were on the hunt for the number, as I had gotten a new phone and for some reason that number didn't transfer over. We called and they could see us in 2 hours. Jetta was saying her ears hurt and by the time we got ready to go, she was crying alot and had thrown up once.

We got to the pediatrician's office and they took a rapid strep test, but felt pretty confident that that wasn't it. The good news was they did weigh and measured her. So, we did find out, she was now 35 1/2 inches tall and 23 lbs. Still little, but she is growing. Finally the pediatrician came in and took and look and felt pretty sure she had Roseolla and the bad news was, it was a virus, so all we could do was give her tylenol every 4 to 6 hours, keep her full of fluids and wait for it to run its course, which could be 7 to 10 days. Well, Friday was not a pleasant day, but fortuanately, by Saturday, the fever had broken and she was feeling better. Which we were happy about, because we had tickets to Disney Princesses on Ice.

While Jetta wasn't completely better, but she felt well enough to go to Disney on Ice. We had plans to take her best friend Ava, so we made sure it was okay that she went. Her mom decided it was okay since Jetta was no longer contagious. I think we were all glad that she was well enough to go, cuz we were all excited to see the Princesses, as we all love Disney and then seeing it on ice was going to be even more exciting. We picked Ava up at noon and all headed out for lunch. After lunch it was time to head to the show. I'm not sure who was more excited Ava or Grandma. Last year was Grandma's first experience of Disney on Ice and she loved it, so I know she was very excited to do this. But Ava loves the Princesses. Once we got there, all the girls were excited. The show was alot of fun. Grandma saved the day, as she remembered her camera and took many great pictures, which I will include several with this post. All in all I think the day was a great success. We saw Amy and Ava a week or so after the show and Amy said Ava had a "google", which is the largest number, which I guess means is the best time ever. So, I guess we can call the day a true success. Plus the girls had great fun together.

On Sunday we went apple picking and Jetta picked her very first apple all by herself. We got some really good pictures from the day. Again, another successful day. We weren't sure the day would be a success, as it had been raining and so we were afraid it would be muddy. So, we stopped and bought her a pair of rain boots and if I do say so myself, she looks pretty darn cute. We picked quite a few apples and fortunately that benefited a homemade apple pie from Grandma...yummy!

Monday was just a day of doing whatever. We pretty much just ran errands and did a little shopping. Shannon went to work, so it was just the girls. By now, Jetta was feeling much better, so we just all hung out. Unfortunately Grandma had to leave on Tuesday, but we surely had a great visit. When we got ready to head to the airport we told Jetta that Grandma was going home on an airplane and going back to South Dakota....and of course, like always, she remembers and says, later that night, "Grandma go home to Souf Dakota" and I said "yep". The good thing is we'll get to see Grandma again soon, as we'll be traveling to "Souf Dakota" in just a few weeks to visit her.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Just cuz....

I'm just posting these pics cuz Shannon took these last week and I just like the pics and wanted to share them. Plus I think it shows just how big she is getting. Or rather, just how much she is changing. Cuz, I really can't say she is getting big....she is still so itty bitty.

She is almost 2 1/2 and is still able to wear some 9 month shorts, mostly 12 months and figure once we start wearing pants, we'll have to wear 18 months only because we will need the length. As for shirts, she wears anything from 18 to 24 months, but nothing bigger. I finally bought her her first part of nsize 6 shoes, but she mostly wears size 5 - 5.5.

Yesterday we were at Kohls and they had their summer shoes on clearance and I was thinking I might buy her a pair for next summer and would possibly buy a size 7 and this lady was there with her son who just turned 2 in June, so he is 3 months younger than Jetta and he is already wearing a size 8 shoe and is almost out of that she said and he was inches taller and definitely heavier than her. I think she is just going to be small, which I am okay with.

I always laugh when I talk to people who have babies who are a year or close to that and we talk diaper sizes and they tell me their kids are wearing a size 3 or 4 already and I say Jetta wears a 3 and is nearly 2 1/2. They just look at me. I keep hoping that soon we don't have to have that conversation, that we can soon start on the potty training thing, as I truly thing she is ready, just is stubborn and doesn't want to. She will come in and say I gotta go potty and will sit on the potty but won't do anything. She has done it several times, go potty on the potty that is, she just isn't consistent. I figure she is still young and I'm not sure where I will find panties that small, so don't see the need to rush.

Other than that, she is doing great. Talking up a storm. Knows her abc's, can count to 20, has a very extensive vocabularly, knows most of her shapes, still working on colors....each and every day she amazes me. She is such a grown up girl, in such a little body.

Anyway, here are the pics. Hope you enjoy them. As always, thanks for following along.

Jetta and Ava....

As many of you know Jetta has a buddy who she absolutely adores and her name is Ava...and quite honestly I think the feeling is mutual. Ava adores Jetta and is quite the mother hen to Jetta. They are always very cute together and attached are a couple of pictures of them together and you can see just how much they enjoy being together. I just had to share, cuz the pictures are to cute not to share.

Grandma Alexander Visits....

First of all I must apologize, as you all know I have been behind on my posts and this is no exception...so sorry to Grandma Alexander for not getting this posted sooner!

A couple of weeks ago Grandma Alexander came from Florida to visit us. She came and spent a week with us. When she got here it was hot, but it seemed to get hotter as the week progressed. By the time she left, I think she was actually looking forward to going back to cooler temps in Florida. I really don't think any of us thought that would be the case. However, the day before she left, she called home and it fact was cooler in Florida than it was here in St. Louis.

While she was here, she of course spoiled Jetta and I know Jetta didn't mind at all. She and Jetta had a great time. The first few days we just stayed close to home, but then over the weekend we ventured into St. Louis and visited the Budweiser Brewery, which I believe we all enjoyed. Grandma enjoyed the tour and Jetta enjoyed the horses. After the tour we headed home and spent the evening with some friends, as Carrie and Elise were home from Singapore and would be leaving after the weekend and we wanted the girls to have the chance to play one last time. It was a great evening to hang out by the pool and just have a few drinks and relax.

Then on Sunday Grandma, Shannon and Jetta headed out to go fishing and give mommy a little mommy time and to take Jetta on her first fishing trip. While it was already warming up, they spent a few hours enjoying the sun and catching a few fish. I'll put a few pictures on from the day. I think they all had a really good time. Once they came home, we pretty much just hung out the rest of the day, as they all were pretty wore out from the heat. We did go to town and buy grandma a birthday cake, as she had had a birthday before she came to visit and we wanted to celebrate with her.

Now the weekend was over and daddy had to head back to work, so it was just a day for the girls to hang out. So, we headed out for a day of shopping. Again, it was a scorcher, so we pretty much just ducked in from one store to the next. After a long day of shopping we headed home and relaxed for evening, as we knew we had a big day ahead of us on Tuesday. As we were headed to a Cardinals game and heard the temps were going to be over 100.

I had to work, so I was already downtown when they made their way into the city. I know grandma was very excited go to a major league ballgame, and we were excited to take her. The new stadium is definitely worth seeing. We had hoped to take her on a tour, but when we went into town on Saturday, the tour was sold out, hence why we went on the brewery tour. It was a bit before game, so we headed to Hooter's for dinner, which is always good eats. I guess that may sound strange coming from me, but I truly do go there for the wings!

After dinner, we headed to the game, temps were still sitting in the mid-90's, so we knew it was going to be even hotter once we got inside the stadium. Once we got inside grandma was very excited and was just taking it all in. I don't think she even cared that there was going to be a baseball game going on. As the game began, we all realized just how hot it was. Jetta was a trooper, but unfortunately, we only made it thru the bottom of the third inning, as it was just to hot to sit there any longer, but I think grandma had fun either way and was just happy to have had the chance to go to the stadium. Hopefully next time she visits it will be a bit cooler and we can watch more of the game.

Unfortunately grandma had to leave the next day, but we are very glad she came to visit. She and Jetta had a great time. Jetta still asks where grandma went and says "she go home on an airplane" and I say "yep, she went home on an airplane. Where did she go?" and she says "she go back to Florida". So, she knows where she went and that she left on an airplane. So, thanks for visiting us grandma....and sorry for taking so long to get this post done.
