My Grandmomiversary


Yesterday was my oldest grandson's 10th birthday and it marked a special day for me also....my 10 year anniversary of being a Grandmom. Ten years and six more grandchildren later, I want to thank Jared for being the first of seven kids who couldn't be more special to me.

It looks like I was pretty happy about being a grandmom


Jared was very cool as a baby


Still  cool as a 5 year old


He is good big brother, and it looks like I was still pretty happy about being a grandmom

As the oldest of seven cousins on our side of the family he is sometimes too cool for the shenanigans of the older kids, but he is very good with the little ones.


Of course being the center of attention at his birthday dinner
is a little hard to take for a very cool 10 year old.


Happy 10th birthday to Jared
And thank you for making me a grandmom for the first time.

    Cool grandma's have cool grandchildren. You're 3 grandkids ahead of me. I need to babysit more often on weekends for my kids. LOL

    Happy birthday to Jared. He's now in double digit years. That now makes him super cool.

  7. Oh what a handsome young lad! He looks like a real sweetie! I'm so jealous. I have just one granddaughter with neither of my children in any rush to add to the family. Sigh...
