Birthday Season

[judy]

This is birthday season for my grandchildren. Kassidy was 7 on Friday, June 5th. Mackenzie will be 12 on June 15th, and Brandon will be 8 on July 11th.

Kassidy had a school trip on Friday to a beautiful park. Jessie and I went. It was just beautiful, the weather was great, and we all had a really good time. Jessie brought little cupcakes and gathered Kassidy's classmates to sing Happy Birthday. It was perfect.

I'm giving her horseback riding lessons, which she has been wanting since last summer. I bought her a stuffed animal horse for Friday. Her "surprise party" is tomorrow and I will tell her about the lessons. She has an idea of what I got her, but she is acting like she is going to be really surprised. She is so cute!

I ordered 2 tickets to the American Idol concert in Albany for Mackenzie and Jessie. I think she is going to love this. She is very excited, and I wanted her to have a special day with her Mom. They'll get all dressed up, do their nails, their hair, and so on.

I'm getting Brandon baseball equipment. He is in Little League, which he loves. I'm going to look around, but I think a bat, a helmet, a net to catch the balls when he practices, and something that allows him to practice hitting the ball will be great for him.

I've also been buying therm summer clothes when I find a really good sale. I have found great buys! It is so much fun to have packages sent to them. I don't say a word, not even to Jess. They get so excited when they come.

This is all costing me tons of money, but I love doing it. Good thing I have my Social Security checks coming in!

Life is good. I am so grateful.

Does it ever!!! Mackenzie is going to be 12...where is my little baby? Kassidy, our real baby, is 7 already. 7 is a big difference from a little 6 year old! She is "engaged" to Quinlan, who gave her a ring. She also "dates" Gavin when she isn't in the mood for Quinlan. It's a good thing her father is strict! Brandon, on the other hand, is beginning his bratty stage. He is going to have to tone it down a bit, but he'll have to get in trouble a few times first. He is a very happy kid though, thank goodness.
