Jingle Bells... Jingle Bells....

Christmas at the Hayes' House!!!

Jingle Bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the ways!!!
Christmas is not Christmas without little kids screaming with delight!!

Isn't this just as sweet as Sugar on a stick!
Funny thing.... Sam climbed on the bench to hog it, Savannah was going to 
push him off, and instead we told her to hug him.  So, it was a hug
that meant, Get OFF my bench!! lol

Then, look what Santa brought to the Hayes' family!!!

Amsterdam.... How Cool is that?

I had the most enjoyable time roaming around the streets of Amsterdam in the fall.
I felt like I went back in time... Bikes were on every frame of life there. This was their main form of transportation. It's not a hobby, it's a way to get from one place to another.  Each bike had it's own personality.  This aqua blue bike was one of my favorites.
This bike was for an adult and a small child.  The basket is for anything they might buy at market. I did note, that NO one wore helmets.
They must of had two small children. Child safety seats are very minimal. It was amazing, how the children  held on for dear life, and enjoyed the bike ride to and from daycare.
Yeah.. I pretty much got sucked up into the beautiful landscape.  I took way too many pictures of fall leaves and trees... Like I've never seen them before.
Told you... more fall pictures....
This is the swan, I had to chase down to get it's picture.  I'm guessing it was camera shy. Happens with big birds...
Seriously? More fall pics?
Just a typical "small" bike parking spot.  I have NO idea how they found their bike once they parked it and came back to retrieve it. Amazing.

One thing I learned...People are people no matter what country you are in. Some are kind, some are distant, some are lost.... They all have the opportunity to follow Jesus.  Some take it, and some don't or won't.

Halloween & Grand Babies

I love Halloween and Grand Babies!!
Nothing is cuter than sweet little Grand Babies dressed up for Halloween.
Now, the Trick is trying to take their picture.  Trust me, it was a Treat to see them all cute, but they didn't always see it as that.
Samuel Wesley as a cute little puppy-dog!  He grinned and posed quickly.


... and then we have Savannah, as Snow White.  What a pretty pretty princess.  She was not impressed with having her picture taken today.
So, as Grandmas and mommas normally do, we PUSHED them for just ONE more picture.
This is what we got!  Savannah said no more... and.. well, Sam said the same.  lol


Happy Halloween all!!

Spring Time Babies!

Sam at 6 months.


 Savannah at 1 year and 11 months.

This Grandma had so much fun taking the kids to the park and shooting these pictures. They are both such a precious gift from God. I am so thankful to be called their Grandma.
It just doesn't get any better than this.

Our baby boy, Zachary David Hayes got married in Garland Texas to Miss Brittani Nicole Johnson.
It was a beautiful wedding!
This was our 3rd wedding in 2 and a half years! We wanted to have our kids close together, which was great. We just never thought about them all having braces at the same time.... going to school at the same time.... and getting married around the same time...
The best part is... THE GRAND BABIES ALL COME AT ONCE !!! Yea !!!!
