She's Tinier Than a Minute....

I have the GREATEST granddaughter of all time. Honest!! Why would I lie about something like that?

She calls me Mema and one of her favorite things to do with me is to snuggle. We have snuggled for 13 years now. At one time, when she lived downstairs from us, she would run up the stairs right before bedtime, and tell me that she needed to snuggled before she went to bed. How cute is that?

Even tho she's 13, she still likes to snuggle. When she comes to spend the weekends with us, in the morning, she will crawl up into our bed.....for that snuggle. You're never too old to snuggle I guess...at least this Mema isn't.


Alix is in 'Travel Softball'. Out of all the girl's softball teams in Orange County, she was one of the 10 girls chosen. She is traveling all over. She plays either Second base or Catcher...depending on the pitcher. Last week, she had a tournament in Arizona. WHIPPED THEIR BUTTS !!! So now, they move on.....this time to Utah. They will be playing there in July. WATCH OUT UTAH....O.C. KRUSH IS ON THE WAY. When they win in Utah... they will be going to either Oklahoma or Texas next. (This picture is of her at practice.)


For her birthday, we took her out for a steak dinner. We told the waitress that it was her 13th birthday...and she said leave it to her. LOL

All the waiters and waitresses came over to sign Happy Birthday to her.. but before they could sing, she had to put on the OFFICIAL BIRTHDAY ATTIRE.
So the slapped a toilet seat cover around her neck, and a coffee filter on her head. Then one of the waiters announced that it was a very SPECIAL birthday...a 13th birthday. "BIG TEENAGER IN THE RESTAURANT." Everyone sang....even the other customers.

We then gave her one of our gifts...$130.00. Ten bucks for every year. Talk about surprise!!

After dinner, we took her for a shopping spree at the local scrapbook store. (Actually, we took her to the MOTHERLODE.) And shopping she did.

She took Grandpa all over...wanting this and wanting that. Oh she needed this and that too. Oh, and look at this. "I must have this too" All in all...she had a GREAT birthday.


Here is her FIRST layout. We took her and her girlfriend to Disneyland last October. She did a GREAT job, huh? She even used the tickets and receipt. Expect her book How To Scrap on the shelves in a few years, LOL
