An Afternoon with Luke & Kayla

This past Thursday instead of having the two younger girls, I was able to have an afternoon with Luke and Kayla. Uncle Bobby was with us too because he didn't feel 100%.

So Uncle Bobby and I picked the two oldest grandchildren up from school and headed to McDonald's. We picked up lunch and headed to grandma's house. They were so excited because it had been about 3 weeks since they had been here.

We ate our lunch and then put the TV on for Uncle Bobby and proceeded to play games all afternoon. We played Shoots & Ladders, Sorry, Yahtzee, and Sorry Slider. After Yahtzee, Kayla watched a movie with Uncle Bobby. As you see in the pictures by the time we got to Yahtzee, the kids were really getting into the games. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves until Eric came to pick the kids up and headed for home. We will need to do it again very soon.

Here are some pictures from the last couple of months. It will bring you up to date on what the lights of our lives look like, and I will try and do better in the months to come. I begin with some girly time with Kayla Marie. She spent the afternoon with grandma, who painted her nails purple!!
Then we have the four local grand-children. Kaitlyn Jo was added to the mix in December 2009. She isn't legally a Bibby yet, but she sure is one in our hearts.


Luke turned 6 this year. One of his gifts was a glow-in-the-dark basketball. He blew out his candles on 6 'cookie cakes' made especially for him by his momma!

Kaitlyn and Krista spend 2 days a week at grandma's house while momma works. They spend time dancing in the kitchen and eating at the table.

And then we have our Texas baby! He sure is growing up quickly. Grandpa used one of his TLO weeks to transport Bobby to Wabash so grandma could go down to Texas and have an Elliot fix! She sure did enjoy her time there.

Here is his blankie made for him by his great-grandma VDT and a new high chair from grandpa & grandma Bibby. He is such a big boy here.

And then a little tubby time!!!!

Grandma is so proud of me! I make her smile and cry. (when she leaves me)

Standing by my daddy's footstool all by myself. WOW!!!!!!!

And then we end our update with some of the kids from when we had all four overnight for the first time.

Hope you enjoyed your catch-up time. I will try not to be so scarce in the future. I sure do love these kids. They are the lights of our lives.
