Catching Up on Life in Vacaville...Chapter Two

Sienna, Kayla and Chanoa...beautiful!

It's been over a year since we last saw everyone and, while Brian, Stacey, Jack and Candice haven't aged a bit...as you can see...the girls have really grown. 

At thirteen, Kayla's a teenager and looks like one...a very beautiful one! She's still as sweet and smart as ever and still an awesome cheerleader! She's excited about her newest toy...a four wheeler! Be careful!!

Chanoa's ten...double digits...and still a sweetheart. She's gained some maturity and is prettier than ever. She's working hard in school making everyone proud of her.

Both girls make me feel like a loved grandma and I love it!



When we visited in 2014, Sienna was camera shy...now she's an adorable ham and loves posing for pictures! Though she remembers us, she understandably has taken a little time warming up but it's easy to see by the way she runs to greet Grandpa Jack that he's becoming her favorite.

Kathy is our newest grandbaby and she's a pretty little thing. She was not much more than a newborn when we arrived (two months old) but she's growing quickly, right before our eyes.

After Christmas, while everyone else was in a December 26th shopping frenzy, Stacey, Candice and I enjoyed a girls day out for pedicures and lunch at Panera's. It was fun to spend time together.

We didn't get to spend the time we wanted to with the kids over winter break since Jack was sick with a bad cold for all of it. Seemed like no sooner was he recovered than Jack and Candice's kids got sick...seriously. Baby Kathy was diagnosed with RSV...she spent at least one day in the ER but, fortunately, didn't have to be admitted. Sienna had similar symptoms and even Chanoa didn't escape without a bad cold. Happily, everyone is fully recovered now!


Once everyone was healthy, Jack and Jack got a chance for some father-son time and went to see the new Star Wars movie. They said it was really good. Hope they carve out some more guy time...maybe a Sprint Car Race in a couple of weeks?




Sienna turned four on February 18th. We all celebrated with a party at Round Table Pizza and she loved every minute of it...pizza, cake, presents, arcade games, blowing out the candles and hamming it up for the camera!

We've been enjoying our time with the kids.

Next up...fun with Robyn and Mel!
