Emma and Hanna

I couldn't resist putting  this darling picture of Emma and Hanna on my blog.  Minden posted this on FaceBook today.  It is hard to believe that my beautiful granddaughters will be one year old in less than one month.  Amazing how fast this year has gone by!

Way to go, Leanna!

Leanna had an interview Wednesday at the School District Office for a teaching position at Turtle Bay School.  The principals for Turtle Bay, Sequoia, and Sycamore School's were all there.  She received a call  this morning  saying that she got the job!  In fact, ALL of the principals were impressed with Leanna's interview---she was first choice for a teaching position at each of these schools!  She chose her favorite location, Turtle Bay!  Way to go, Leanna!  I am so proud of you!  They certainly showed excellent taste in  choosing you!

Another New Addition to the Family

Leanna and her family have a new little female German Shepherd pup----so cute!  They haven't named her yet.  She is very sweet!  Leanna has been wanting a German Shepherd for a long time.  Besides being a nice addition to their family, the pup will make a great companion for HughHey.

Wading Pool Weather

Leanna and Dan had to go to Sacramento and so Alex, Maya and Trent stayed at Grandma's house.  It is getting quite warm making it perfect weather to go swimming in the wading pools.

Trent thoroughly enjoyed himself.

So did Maya

and Alex.

After they went swimming we had a few Easter egg hunts, and  then they played playhouse.

Later in the day Maya decided to make a project. Very cute!   

Lassen Park

Kyla was in Redding Sunday and Monday.  We had a nice visit.  We decided to go to Lassen Park--one of our favorite places--and hike around Manzanita lake.  It was beautiful weather and beautiful scenery!

Later in the day we met Leanna and her family and went on another hike close the Whiskeytown Lake.  The trail ended up having some spectacular views overlooking Clear Creek.  It was fun hiking with everyone but I found out I still have acrophopia.  I think I do better on flat trails!  After the hike we had a  delicious dinner at Red Robin.   

Maya's New Hair Style

Leanna, Alex, Maya and Trent came over to my house tonight.  What a surprise when I saw Maya!  These are some pictures that Leanna took earlier today.

Leanna took  Maya to have her hair cut today.

She said that Maya looked in a book and picked out the hair style she wanted all by herself.

 Maya reminds me so much of Leanna when she was little!  Absolutely darling!

Here is a picture of Maya and her Auntie Sophie.  Great job, Maya, I really like your new hair style!

Leanna

Yesterday I found this old magazine article featuring a poem written by Leanna.  It was a nice surprise!
