These are my daughter Liz's children. Brandon is her stepson, she raised him from age two , Brock, Emma, and Lynzie. Our sweet Lynzie is pregnant with a little sibling for Max.
This is a big scrambled family. The grade school kids are Brandon's (2 are stepchildren)
Max , King of wild things and the spork Master, eating his own cake....I think his mommy cheated, not so much frosting on it. LOL
My daughter , grandma Liz, holding the birthday boy. Hard to think of one of my twin daughters as a grandmother.
Layla and cousin Max, in his very own play land ball pit. I wonder how long the balls will be in this pen once he starts throwing things. :):)
The birthday party did go as planned on Sunday. I wish I could have gone. We had the snow and ice then and still have a lot of ice on our roads. More nasty stuff coming. It isn't officially winter yet. I hope everyone will be careful out in the snow, ice, rain and wind. Just take your time, it's better to be a bit late than in an accident. Wishing all a great day. XO
You have a beautiful family my friend. Stay warm during this winter weather....or come visit me! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane. Oh I wish I could come to Florida. If I ever do I will have you meet me for lunch...my treat. LOL. I used to go to Daytona every Feb. for 10 days...it sure broke up the winter for me. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou have such a beautiful family Susie! I hope that you all are enjoying the holiday season! Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pilar. I love all of my family...well as we should. I do remember growing up fighting with siblings till mommy would get a hold of us. LOL. So far...I have not stressed over the holidays....as long as I can get out next week. Blessings to you honey. xoxo, Susie

Deleteahhh, they are so so adorable...yes, when I look at my son, a granddad now, it just shocks me sometimes...I still see him as "my little boy"...xo
ReplyDeleteBJ, I guess our children will always be our babies. LOL I asked my daughters now...do you miss your children being small?? I miss my own being small. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

Debbie, This my Liz's family. You sent her prayers and cards.. your friendship help our spirits and we shall always be grateful. I am hoping there's not too much snow come Christmas. The last three days around our area has been awful. Stay safe and warm. Blessings to all. Love you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSweet family! Babies never had it so good...playpen ball pit. Ha! Good advice about driving in bad weather.
ReplyDeleteVee, Whenever I hear of a child complaining...I just can't believe they have any reason, what with all the nice play things, food and loving parents. I warn the grandkids to not over indulge their babies. LOL. I just plain do not like driving in nasty conditions. Be safe. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh, how much did they love that ball pit?! I'm glad you were able to get together for the birthday party. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJenn, I had never heard of a kid having their own ball pit. Max seems to really like it. Blessings, be safe,xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat is an adorable pic of the birthday boys in the ball pit. My youngest son loved a ball pit!!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I just thought Max having his own ball pit was so funny...and he loves it. Blessing to you, be safe in this cold. xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a lovely family you have. I know when I look at my step-children it is so hard to believe they are as old as they are. They grow up and I grow old, ha, ha! Be careful with the bad weather you are getting. It is heading our way on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteKathy, When Liz married Brandon's father, we just loved on Brandon the same as all the other children. I treat them all the same. I am hoping Brandon has settled down. Yes it going be so cold this week, they are warning people to be prepared. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a lovely, lovely family, Susie. Your daughter doesn't look old enough to be a grandmother!!! The kids are all as cute as can be-right down to the birthday boy. Too bad you couldn't be there but I don't like to travel on snow and ice either. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteDiana, The birthday boy has the greatest grim, and is happy most all the time. I hope Lynzie new baby will be as sweet. I do not like to drive in any bad road conditions or heavy rains and fogs. Blessings for a good day there. xoxo, Susie
DeleteGorgeous family pictures, Susie! Blended families are often quite interesting, especially when you see that unconditional love. I know that.
ReplyDeleteFrigid temps here and only getting worse. Grrrrr....
Jane
Thank you Blondie. I had a step father myself and he was good to all of us kids. Oh the cold is going to awful and I hope everyone is ready. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLook at sweet Max enjoying his cake. These are great family pictures, Susie. Your daughter, Liz, looks just like you. I thought it was you at first. She's so pretty with a warm smile. I remember my kids playing in those colored balls. They had so much fun!
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Sheri, My daughters Liz and Angie look the most like me and Kathy and Karen look like their father. I am blessed they are all good girls. I can't wait to see max using his fork to eat..it's one of the spoon/fork things. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
