Grand Guests

Every year the 1st grade at Brylee's school puts on a big show for their grand guests.

 Auntie Talli and her Mimi were her "grand guests" for the day.

First they sang for their grand guests.

She looked over after ever song, smiled and shrugged her shoulders.  She was thrilled to have them there.  I was not supposed to be there but I broke the rules and stayed!

Next stop was to meet her wonderful teacher.

They each wrote Brylee a letter.

Brylee then took her grand guests on a school tour.

We happened to run into a handsome 3rd grader while on the tour.

Brylee brought them back to her classroom and gave them a grand tour.

She read them all of her sight words.

And by far her auntie and mimi drove the furthest to come to Grand Day.  Mimi flew from ND to KS and then they drove all they way to MN.  

Only Brylee has the power to make a trip like that happen.  They were only able to stay for 36 hours.  

Next stop was dance class.

I tell you these two are inseparable!

And the song that makes Brylee's heart sad because she always misses her grandmas and grandpas.  She says tears almost come when she sings it!

And the tears for sure came from this Grandma!  

She has the best grandparents!

Brylee ♥'s Auntie Talli

Brylee adores her Aunt Talli.

They have a serious love affair.

The above picture she was wishing Talli did not have to go home.

When I told Brylee that Talli was coming she got busy.

Really busy.

During her free time in school and at home she created masterpiece after masterpiece.

 She professed her love for Talli with 50 pieces of art.

Still to this day she writes "I love Talli all over her school work."

While Talli is here she squeezes in Brylee's twin bed.

Brylee is never 2 inches away from her.

The morning Talli left they got up early and made breakfast in bed for me.

Yummy!

Now that Talli has gone home, I fill up an envelope with the pictures I pull out of her backpack and put them in the mail.

They mail each other packages. 

Talli mailed her fun nail stickers and art work.

Brylee ♥'s her ANT TALLI!

Sledding with Talli

Sledding time with Auntie Talli!

She squeezed into some of Brett's snowpants put on Brylee scarf and hat and off we went.

Time...

to climb that huge hill...

and scream all the way down!

These two were fearless!

That sledding will wipe you out.

Break time...

for the goof ball.

Go Bryan!

My cute snow monster.

I pulled them all the way back. 

Think they climbed the hill one too many times!

She sleeps with it, applies it several times a day and never leaves the house without it.

As Auntie put it..."Every girls need options!"

Talli~ Beautiful and Single in Wichita, KS

This is my sister. Her name is Talli. She lives in Wichita, KS. She is 30 years old, never married, no children and very single!

I am linking my blog to Kelly's blog at www.kellyskornerblog.com for her "Show us your Singles"

What I know for sure is that whoever wins my sister’s heart will be blessed………..

And this is why:

My sister has a huge heart that is strong and filled with compassion.

As a Case Manager she is committed to turning the world right side up for the clients she has been entrusted with.

My sister has a strong spirit and is loyal to her family, friends and the world around her. You will never hear her say an unkind word about anyone, as she has an innate sense of knowing that there is good in everyone and everything.

My sister is determined. At age 30, she is working a full-time+ job – and is taking 14 credit hours in school. I’m not sure how she gets up every day at 5:00 am to work out. Her determination is only surpassed by her energy.

My sister makes life happen. She organized a visit to Mom’s house (ND) with our brother (AZ) , me and my children (WI) and herself (KS) for a surprise Thanksgiving weekend. Still not sure how she managed to do it – she has her ways. And just in case, she bought a turkey – in hopes it would thaw on her floorboard during her sixteen hour drive.

My sister is the best Aunt in the world. She gave up her life in ND to move closer to her nephews and niece. And now that we live many miles apart she will drive 20 hours in one weekend just to spend time a short amount of time with them. She loves them like they are her own!

There is so much to love about my sister. God gave Talli a heart full of love to share and it is my fervent prayer that when God brings the right man to Talli, she will recognize him.

My sister doesn’t know I’m doing this – and unless Mr. Right comes along to convince her that I have done exactly the right thing – I may never be forgiven.

Leave me a comment if you would like to meet my wonderful sister!

Talli and her niece again!
