I have been a grandma for over 18 years.
It still blows my mind to hear me being called that.
I just don't feel like I should be old enough.
It happened way sooner than I thought it would.
But here is 8 month old Lilly. Sitting up by herself!
Such a mile stone for such a little princess.
Born at 28 weeks.
2 pounds 3 ounces.
And big sissy Lexi loves to love on her twin baby sisters.
She was unsure about how it was going to be....since she was an only child for over 10 years.
But she has taken to it perfectly.
And these two big brothers, Krew and Kendrix, love their baby sister Leighton.
Leighton was born with Cerebral Palsy.
She's truly a miracle.
Sitting up alone.
Looking at her mom's scriptures.
My own children.
Nate and Candice.
Nate was in Idaho Falls for some police training.
So we met at Outback where Candice works as an assistant manager.
We enjoyed some delicious food.
And I enjoyed watching these two.
They are beautiful humans.
Teddy and Timmy build a gigantic snowman!
Good thing their dad is over 6 feet tall so he could help!
And Lucy and Lilly being held by daddy.
He loves all of his girls!
Lexi decided that a laundry basket filled with pillows was the perfect way to watch TV and keep the twins happy.
Yes, becoming a grandma all those years ago was a shocker.
But wow, I love it.
It's amazing to watch your kids parenting.
It brings joy....and sometimes evil laughter.
It is the best.

Great post! You have a lovely family, and what joy to have Grands!!
We waited for over 6 yrs to be grandparents, and it's every bit as amazing as our friends told us it would be **grin**!!
We LOVE being members of the Bragging Grandparents club :)
Our one and only Grand also has cerebral palsy and he is doing amazingly well; we feel so blessed that it is such a mild form.
He will be able to achieve everything he wants to achieve and his parents are the greatest (our eldest son and our daughter in love)
It is interesting watching our kids parent... I agree with you!
Sometimes we just shake our heads and secretly roll our eyes :)

It's always so nice getting an update on the twins, They are really growing fast and so are the boys. Being a grandma is tops but when you just get used to being called grandma, they start to call you great grandma. It happens faster than you think.
It looks like you have a serious little girl studying her scriptures.
Enjoy your lovely family.
Hugs, Julia
Oh man, being a grandparent is the best idea ever!! I'm pretty sure thats the reward for raising kids haha. Those adorable twin girls are getting so big, Lexi is a perfect big sister and I'm sure a huge help to her mom as well. Speaking of huge, holy snowman that is one gigantic snowman you guys have there.
You are one lucky woman to have such an incredible family!!
Love,
Saimi
I wish I had those 18 years. My sister has 24 years of being a grandmother. However I am happy to finally be one now at 67! Thank you for all the photos. Your grandchildren are so adorable. What a blessing you have been given. Take care and God Bless all of you!
All are such beautiful children...what fun you must have with all of them when you are with them. Hugs sweet Tauna
