Grandbaby #9!

Well I went to Holly's place last weekend to help with Evy and the new baby. I can't believe this is my ninth grandbaby to add to my babysitting jobs. How can I have 9 grandbabies when I just turned 39? I helped a lot with Evy, showering her with a princess cape and lots of M&Ms. She is a burning ball of energy.

And my cute little grandson Coleman. Who would have thought I would finally get redheaded grandbabies after all these years?

Israel 2011

Mac and I ditched our families around Christmastime as usual and headed to Israel for a romantic getaway. We were shooting for the warm Costa Rica, but we ended up here instead. I take my Disneyland jacket wherever I go and I can't wait for the announcement that they will build a Disneyland there someday. I kinda blend in don't I?

Not sure what this means. It was written everywhere. Someone please translate for me.

Israeli army- a must if you're 18, girl and guy.  I hear they sleep with their machine guns at night.

Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.

The Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.  We get lost trying to find this place everytime. On our journey trying to get home we flew from Tel Aviv in coach for 12 hours (hmmph) to Newark then to Atlanta. We then slept overnight in the Atlanta airport, flew to San Diego and then SLC. Whew. Long journey.
