Kids Club Today... Oreo Turkeys

Today at work, I did Kids Club. It was fun, we had alot of kids and that made it fun. I have alot of cute pictures.

The way you do them is by opening up a Mint Orea Cookie and leave the middle for the bottom part. We found it was easier to put frosting on the bottom of the double stuff cookie before standing it upright on top of the mint cookie.
Then you take a malted ball (whopper) for the face. Use white frosting for the eyes, and chocolate frosting for the pupil of the eye. After you do that, take a candy corn and take off the white tip to it and use it for the nose. They you use 5 candy corns to make the tail feathers. And whala, there you go, a Oreo Turkey. But it is a fun activity if you have kids for Thanksgiving. And with the kids being home for a couple extra days, this will be fun for you.

Bridgette and her friend Lyndsey helped with the acitivity today. It was nice. They were very much needed. So I want to thank them for helping. We had around 75 kids. So that was alot compared to how many showed up...

But we made Edible Oreo Turkeys. They turned out so cute.... I am gonna add more to this post, but wanted to share some of the pics that are of kids of a friend of mine.

Has it already been a year?

I get phone calls from my daughter Jessica all the time. Most parents complain about how they never hear from thier kids when they grow up and get married. I have to say, I am very blessed in this way.

It has been funny lately though with Jessica. My Jessica has been trying for many years to have a baby. She gave up on the thought of having her own children and decided they might need to try adoption. She has polycystic overies and I guess it makes it hard to concieve. So after years of trying, they finally got the news they were waiting for. They were pregnant! I am thinking, wow, now I get the grand-daughter. We have three grandsons, so here we go. To make a long story short. Jessica was having a boy. I have decided that girls are a long shot in our family,lol. But back to Jessica. She calls me alot and just tells me "JJ is just the cutest". Did you know that mom? Well, of course I am not going to argue with her over that. But I can't show paritality either,lol. But I have to say, he sure is cute. But lately he has been taking small steps and gets all excited over that. Jessica is so proud to finally make it to the mommy crowd. :) What I was thinking about during all her calls about how happy and overjoyed she is to have JJ and to experience mother hood. Even on the sleepless nights. I think about all those kids who are brought into this world where parents don't want them or they are abused and killed. There are people out there wanting to adopt these kids, and yet parents don't see the blessings they have right before thier eyes.

How can you look into a childs face and not see the wonder and blessings from above. When they first say momma or dadda, or as JJ says YEAH. That is his word lately. But what is it that makes a parent snap as they do? I just don't get it.

But JJ turns 1 yr old on Nov 5th at 6:48 pm EST. I wonder if she is going to have his party at that time or what? I always did that with Jessica... It was offically the anniversary of her birth at 7:29 pm. Jessica is having a hard time not giving JJ his presents. She got him the Elmo Live and all other kinds of things. I am very proud of her and my son in law Jason. JJ is a bit spoiled, but it is nice to see that they love JJ and want the best for him and that they look at JJ as a special gift.

I am going to close this by saying, please cherish your kids, love your kids, be willing to discipline your kids, raise them in a Godly home, be parents to your kids... And if you do these things, you will have wonderful kids like I do. My girls are both adults with thier own kids, but they carry on what they have learned. I just hope they don't carry on my mistakes and moodiness :).

Having Fun With The Grandsons

This weekend I have my three grandsons. Tyson, Jace and Ashton... My niece is celebrating her 17th birthday. So I have them with me so she can go to my daughters house and have a party. I'm thinking on who is better "Teens" or "3 Boys",lol. Well, I guess the boys would be,lol. I just can't resist those cute faces.

My oldest grandson Tyson is all excited about a new cartoon that is coming on, lol. He is standing beside me telling me about the count down and how it must be something called Gym Teacher. Ummm, I am beginning to think my weekend will be filled with cartoons, lol.

But tonight after dinner we went to the park. They had alot of fun. They got all excited when another family came to the park with bottle rockets. Well, now I know I am not going to get out of there very fast. But they had fun, and that's what is more important. The night was nice and there was a slight breeze and in the desert, and breeze is a good thing, lol.

Overall, this weekend will be fun and they will have a good time and they are always good at G-Ma's house. My daughter Beckiah can't understand that, but I think it is very easy to understand. :)
