Masseys on the Move

Eden and Keira wanted to be on the screen at the Padres ball game and so took pictures like this for Western night!!  I love them.  I never liked wearing hats much but I loved wearing cowboy boots!!  So dang cute!

Keira has been active in Girl Scouts for years and I have always admired Meagan for being so involved in this great program.  You learn so much.  For me it was Camp Fire girls, does that still exist?

Is Nico learning to swim, I think so.  Yea for Nico!!!  I remember when Keira was a tot and getting swimming lessons at Lake Almanor and lots of attention.

Is this the Padre game?  Meagan and Matt always have fun activities and trips planned.  Living a great life I think!!  I wish I knew what they are looking at!  Using all these exclamation points makes me think of something.  I used to type college papers for Meagan's Dad John when he was at UCSD.  I had all the equipment and often down time at the office.  And I remember he was supposed to make a contribution to some Family News or something and so I typed it for him and when I put an exclamation point on it he said to take it off.  That was something he never used and they would know he had not written it.

Eden is always ready for a new adventure and these boogie boards? look really fun!  Yea for the beach and parents who see you get plenty of beach time.

Great picture but where exactly is it? La Jolla Shores?  So great to have friends along for activities.

 

Schooltime for Eden and Nico

So cute and sweet and Nico is not wanting all the attention, I suppose, someday he will love it, maybe.

Nico is in lst grade and Eden in 3rd grade.

 

Massey Family Goes to Yosemite

Two days with friends at Yosemite make some great pictures and memories.

Nico, Eden, Keira and Friend

Evidently rafting was the most fun!!!

Looks like Nico is having fun but I do not recognize the treat!!!

Now that is the life!

Nico points the way.

Eden always knows how to strike a pretty pose.  Something I notice I always tried to do when I was her age.

Now that is an interesting backdrop for Meagan and her friend!

Toasting to a great trip, I assume.

 

The Massey Children

Merry Christmas, 2021

I miss them!!!

 

Jump Roping

Eden and friend practicing their jump rope skills.  I wonder if jacks will ever come back!

 

Eden and Her Friends

Eden is lucky to have close friends in her neighborhood and Meagan sent me pix of the three.  So cute.  

 

Massey Garden

When I left my home in Lake Almanor I took down the hanging handprints of the Massey children and gave them back to Meagan.  She sent over and showed that they are now hanging in their garden!!!

 

Eden's Quilt

I have been letting family choose items I just cannot keep anymore as I will have no storage at Treeo.  There were a number of blankets up for grabs when the Massey children were there and Eden immediately spoke in a quiet voice.  "I would like that one." And it is perfect for her.  Here she is getting her report ready to share on her "Interesting Item" at school.

This quilt was a gift of a wall hanging when Richard and I moved into our Rancho Bernardo house or possibly the children gave it to me when we were still in the La Jolla house for the small middle bedroom.  I cannot remember which now  But it is beautiful and will look lovely on her bed.

 

In the Hot Tub at Rancho Santa Fe

Meagan sent over this old picture of  when I was staying at James' home in Rancho Bernardo and Keira and Eden were in the hot tub with me.  

Thanksgiving News

I am so impressed with the videos the Masseys put on You Tube.  This one has Keira as the anchor woman and it is good.

Evidently Matt is the director and producer and they are well done with some real edgy news of the day plus lots of  humor.

 

Christmas Morning at the Masseys!! 2020

Meagan shared Christmas morning with me, everybody happy!!!

I am happy to see the fanciful painting of Meagan in Hong Kong hanging in the background.

 

Christmas Card 2020

                                      Merry Christmas 2020

 

Firsts in 2020…

 

·         Longest I ever stayed at one of my children’s home, because of the Coronavirus

·         Most expensive hair cut I ever had, because of the Coronavirus

·         Least I ever ate out, because of the Coronavirus

·         Fewest movies at the theater I have ever seen, because of the Coronavirus

·         Fewest Sundays I have ever attended Church, because of the Coronavirus

·         Least money I have ever spent on gasoline, because of the Coronavirus

 

But because of the Coronavirus, buyers were wanting to move to the mountains and I had equity in my home

And sold it in August and moved into a rental in Rancho Bernardo on September 1^st.

 

And had Thanksgiving at my home with my granddaughter 

Meagan's family.

         

And will have Christmas in my own home this year.

 

And am really enjoying being only 20-30 minutes from my children and ten of my 15 grandchildren and three of my 9 great-grandchildren.

 

And it will be a warm winter in the desert of San Diego, rather than the snow in the mountains at Lake Almanor and though I will miss my friends of 21 years in the mountains, it will be a whole new way of life, closer to family.

 

It is a Wonderful Life…So Thankful for all my blessings of family and the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from 12593 Horado Rd., San Diego, Ca 92128  

Nico is Five

Nico turns five on December 15 and I had sent a rock kit from Amazon for 6 years and up.  Meagan sent this picture and said it was a great gift for him.  He has always liked to play with the rocks I have collected and John has collected and I have them in bowls or in bookcases.

 They must have had a birthday party for him today, a few days early.

A Massey Gingerbread House

 The children did it all themselves!!! 

I have not done one for years, I always thought they were very hard to do!!!

Eden at Coronado Hotel Beach

 Meagan sent over a picture of Eden posing before a Sand Sculpture on the Beach.  I am not sure who does these sculptures, but they are good.

Masseys Go to Silvergate Cabin

Meagan sent pictures from their rainy week at the cabin and their 4th of July in Vernal, Utah.  They were driving home from the cabin and stayed in Vernal.  The celebration was so fun, she said they would love to go there again for the 4th.  Parade and good food!!!
