A DAY WITH OAKLEY

SINCE MOST OF THE FAMILY WENT TO

WATCH CJ PLAY IN THE PAC 12 TOURNAMENT,

I HELPED HEIDI OUT BY TAKING OAKLEY

SO SHE COULD TAKE THE TWINS FOR THEIR

4 MONTH CHECK UP, AND

CHECK ON BROOKLYN'S PRE-RSV SYMPTONS.

I HAD TO TAKE UP A PICTURE AND A GUEST COUNT FOR
MY RETIREMENT OPEN HOUSE.
I ALSO BOUGHT OUR TICKETS FOR THE SCHOOL PLAY
THE NEXT NIGHT.
THEN WE WENT TO VISIT CONDITA, NANCY, LORI,
ANNALEA, DIANE, PAUL, AND RANAE.

 OAKLEY LOVED NANCY'S ROOM!  WHO WOULDN'T?

 WE THEN WENT TO KOHLER'S TO PICK OUT BALLOONS
FOR GRANDMA DIXIE'S BIRTHDAY.  I HAD ONE ALL
PICKED OUT...AND OAKLEY STOMPED HER FOOT AND SAID 
"NOOOOOO!"
"GRANDMA DIXIE WANTS A CINDERELLA BALLOON!"
"IT'S HER FAVORITE!!!"
SHE THEN WANTED PINK AND PURPLE BALLOONS SURROUNDING IT.
SHE SAID THAT'S THE COLORS OF A PRINCESS!
(COINCIDENTALLY, THOSE ARE OAKLEY'S FAVORITE COLORS!)
I TOLD HER WE HAD TO AT LEAST HAVE GREEN, CUZ THAT'S
GRANDMA DIXIE'S FAVORITE COLOR!

WHEN GRANDMA DIXIE SAW THE BOUQUET, SHE WAS THRILLED, 
AND SAID CINDERELLA WAS HER FAVORITE!
OAKLEY SUDDENLY GOT A LITTLE SMUG LOOK ON HER FACE LIKE
"SEE, I TOLD YOU SO!" 

WE ALSO BOUGHT LUNCH TO TAKE TO THE SHOP, TOO,
FOR US AND GRANDMA DIXIE.

 OAKLEY THEN DANCED TO
"LET IT GO" FOR GRANDMA.

 BEAR'S BIRTHDAY WAS CELEBRATED ON MY
MOM'S BIRTHDAY.  
HIS BIRTHDAY SURE MOVES AROUND!!!



A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR GRANDMA DIXIE AT
THE JAZZ GAME THAT NIGHT!

A LITTLE BLURRY FROM OUR SEATS.

 

FROM ADONNA'S SEAT.


Then, on March 15, we went to the Desert Star Playhouse and saw this:

 They also called her name to sing "Happy Birthday!"


Birthday acknowledgements at the
Jazz Game 
and
Desert Star were total surprises!!!
