I think that Zephyr was the one that changed the most since I last saw the Grandkids.
It was great having our kids from Utah for the 50 1/2 Birthday Party.
Jason, Christy and Ty came the week before the party and the Weinheimer’s & Yri’s came a couple of days before and they stayed for a few days after.
We had a FULL house – Zephyr had to sleep in the laundry basket.
Here are the three older one Grandkids.
It’s great being a Grandma – easy to laugh at all the cute things the kids do.
Ty and his daddy playing air hockey.
I think we have an alien visiting.
or could it be one of our own.
Surprise! Surprise – it’s Autumn!
Saturday Grandpa and Grandma took the girls to the Aquarium.

Tom and I celebrated our 11th Anniversary on Saturday.
We dined at an exclusive restaurant in Pelham, New York.
We had the best server ever!
The server had a small helper that added interest.
Have you ever had cute servers like these two?
Asking for input…….
Off to the kitchen.
No photos please…….way to much work to be done.
Some of the kitchen help.
Thanks Autumn and Prairie (and there boss – Emily) for making our anniversay so special!!!

On Friday morning Tom and I flew to Utah for Zephyr’s blessing.
Zephyr is smiling all the time. Babies change so quickly.
Here are the three older grandkids.
Friday afternoon we had a barbaque in Emily and Ben’s backyard.
Snuggle time with Prairie
On Saturday evening Grandpa and Grandma babysat Autumn and Prairie. Emily and Ben went to a movie and dinner to celebrate their 7th Anniversary.
We took the girls to
Jump On It and met Jason, Christy and Ty there.
Here is Christy getting some good air.
Autumn really had a good time.
Prairie had fallen asleep on the way there, so it took her alittle while to enjoy herself,
but she did at the end.
Ty was fearless. He just ran from trampoline to trampoline.
The Weinehimer family on our way home after the baby blessing. Ben gave a wonderful blessing. We are thankful to have him in our family.
This was Zephyr’s special day, but I don’t think he was feeling so special right then.
Emily designed and constructed this outfit. I love the bow tie.
They actually tie is each time!
After the blessing we went back to Emily and Ben’s for lunch. Ben’s uncle stopped by. He came in his small fire truck. Everyone was pretty interested in it. It also created a great opportunity to get almost everyone together for a group shot.
Tom gave me this sweatshirt for Mother’s Day.
On Monday we went to
This is the Place Park with Jason and family. It was Baby Animal Day. We had a great time.
Anyone for the Derby?
Tom and I flew home on Monday afternoon. We arrived back in Pelham around midnight. We had a great week-end. We love our family and enjoy seeing them.

Last weekend was the quilt show for Northern Star Quilters – A World of Quilts XXX.
Here is Autumn’s quilt with its beautiful ribbon. I loved being able to show off my quilt that my 5 year old granddaughter had made for me.
I took a picture with my phone and sent it to her in Utah. That night she called and asked if she could keep the ribbon. Of course, but could I keep it long enough to hang it up with her quilt at my QQQ 50 1/2 Birthday Party. (Not sure what this is – a post is coming on this next week.)
This quilt was made by Michelle (age 12) – one of my sewing students.
Viewers choice – Daylily – by Inge Stahl
First Fruits – by Carol Auer
Plaid Bow Ties by Susie Andersen & Margie Lambeth
I can’t see the name on this quilt – but I like it just the same!
Now for my quilts:

I had a wonderful time in Utah last week! The kids were wonderful. This Grandma thinks it’s good that the younger people have the new babies because it is a lot of hard work – but LOTS of FUN!!!!!! Here are a bunch of pictures from the week’s activities.
We frosted sugar cookies that Emily had made before my arrival.
The scary pirate.
Take a nap (ha, ha, ha!)
What was I thinking when I bought these HUGH suckers?
Zephyr has two proud big sisters!
Lot’s of fun times!!!!!
Mommy and baby time!
One day Jennie and I took the girls to Jump On It!
We had
a lot of fun, but my legs are way out of shape.
Relaxing after a workout at Jump on It!
The snowstorm on April 15!
On Saturday we met Jason,
Christy and Ty at the park in Salt Lake City. Nice day, but
a little windy.
Here are my four Grandchildren!

I now have four adorable Grandchildren – 2 girls and 2 boys. Zephyr was born April 3, 2009 at 12:23 am. He is 21 3/4″ long and weighs 9 lbs. 5 oz. Emily upped me on two accounts – 15 days overdue (I was 13) and he weighs 2 ozs. more (Jennie weighted 9 lbs 3 ozs). GREAT JOB!!!! Can’t wait to get to Utah. I am really feeling the Grandma pangs this morning. 
To see the proud big sisters you can visit my daughter’s blog.

Autumn playing on the crossover bridge that Grandpa Tom built for the Cub Scouts.
She loves Princesess and pink. This is the girl that her mother didn’t want any pink clothes when her baby was born. The mommy is getting her pink fill now.
The next four pictures Autumn took preparing for when she starts her blog. (Good-luck Mommy!)
This is fabric we purchsed after my lecture. Autumn wants a princess dress at grandma’s house.
Autumn goes to work with Grandma.
I had the opportunity of sharing The Legacy Lives On – Six Generations of Quilters while Autumn was visiting.
Autumn helping me hold Tricky Squares. The guild was wonderful and helped make Autumn feel very special. Thanks!
On her last night in New York we were all suppose to go and see The Little Mermaid on Broadway. But, I was very sick and not able to make it. Grandpa Tom and Autumn had a fun night out on the town.
Autumn really enjoyed the show.

Here are the girls on the tender of the boat.
Autumn thought George was being to noisey, so she is using the earphone to listen to her movie.
When Autmn is on the telephone and nature calls she doesn’t want to leave the other party alone, so she lets baby Atticus (Autumn’s baby doll) talk on the telephone.
