Kambree

I am so thrilled to be a grandma, I cannot tell you how much fun it is! Kambree is the oldest, she is 5 and just started kindergarten this year. She loves school and she is a smart kid! She is fun to hang out with, I have her for 3 hours a day after school and we play games and go shopping and color (her favorite activity). She has a little brother named Cooper who is the sweetest little boy, he is a HAPPY baby for sure! He has a supercute smile. At the moment he is almost 10 months old.

Madison is my second grandchild and she will turn 4 in December. She is a lot of fun too! She is definitely a little more on the moody side, but she is a lot of fun when she is in a good mood! She loves to dress up like all of the princesses and she loves to play with barbies and her whole room is practically all pink! She also has a little brother who was born in August his name is Maxton and he is such a cutie pie!
