The Giffin Glamchildren came to stay.

 The next week after babysitting my Jackson glamsons, the Giffin glamchildren came to stay for a week. During a few of the days, the Jacksons came over and so did my cute little Haggarton glamgirls, so there were some periods of time that 10 of my glamchildren were here! Fun, but it is soooo hot here that we stayed inside whenever we could. During that time, the kids wanted me to watch MANY episodes of "Dr. Who" with them. It was great!

 On our Giffin day outings, we went to the trampoline place (I could feel sweaty germs floating in the air.....) and then later we went to the Phoenix Art Museum (which had no sweaty germs floating in the air and was sooooo much nicer).

 and we went to see 2 movies!

I am lovin' these glamchildren!!!!!!!

The Jackson Glamchildren came to stay....

 A couple of weeks ago, my Gourmet Girls went to Utah for 2 weeks to do research for their catering company and it was my pleasure to babysit the Jackson boys for a week. One of the "life skills" that I think is soooo important is paper mache. Need I say more. The kitchen was a mess the whole week (and the next week when I babysat the Giffin kids) but is was fun and well worth the effort as you can see! These boys waited eagerly between drying layers and layers of paper mache over inflatable beach balls.

When the paper mache was drying, the boys played video games, I introduced them to the old "Twilight Zone" TV shows on Netflix and we played laser tag. Laser Tag was intense!!!!! I sure do love these glamsons of mine!

Just bragging about this fabulous new Swarovski crystals phone case that my daughter Devan made for me! Teaching my daughter's a bunch of random crafts when they were little is really paying off!!!
( Devan has created many fabulous custom blinged phone cases, pacifiers, laptops, etc. She will be moving back to AZ this July and so her company "Get Stoned" will have a base. I'll brag some more at the start of August when her little business go's very public.) Hope you are having a cool summer... It is HOT here in Arizona.

Swimming Glamchildren

Today we celebrated Cruz's 6th birthday at Great Grandma Burke's house. Those kids make a Glamma proud!!!!

Camping at the Beach

 Cruz dug a bunch of big holes looking for buried treasure.

 A walk to the store brought us right over the railroad tracks. The boys thought it was "freaky" when the commuter train zoomed below us under the bridge. I thought it was "freaky" too!

 You can not find a happier baby boy than Walter. He looked like this the whole time.

 Conway thought he was King of the Mountain. He loved just sitting there for awhile and then suddenly jumping off and rolling into the deep pit around the sand mound. It was hilarious.

 The big boys rested to read and nap after wrestling the waves and rocks.

 Daisy's Mom turned her into a mermaid. Then Daisy proceeded to tell us all her story about how she really wanted to grow some legs but she was trapped in the ocean.

Grandma Burke bought all the little girls matching pink swimsuits. Whenever someone walked by out little group they smiled at all this cuteness playing in front of them.
We missed most of the Giffin clan as they had recitals.... It is getting harder and harder to plan things that all the family can do or go to at the same time. Oh well., but Yeah for our wonderful big crazy family!

Happy Mother's Day and Mug Shot Necklaces

    A belated Happy Mother's Day to all the females in my life and on our planet. I am thankful to all my "Mothers" - Women (both family & friends) that have nurtured and taught me by example how to be a good person. Even though the world is full of creepy stuff, with each other's help we can live happy, fulfilled lives together. XO
    Oh, I started to post these fun necklaces and realized I should be posting some flowery things...Oh Well.

Happy Graduation Son-in-Law!
