Chase's Wedding

Grandson David dances with his daughter Maylee to her great delight. I bet both slept well that night! David got to take a weekend off from medical school.


Jessie's little sister Jentry and cousins, Mariah Smart and Camille Greene. Jentry's self appointed mission is to turn Mariah into a girl. Mariah might be a little more feminine (both are age 12) but it will NEVER be in pink. Camille is 20.



Christopher takes a peek at David and Breezy's very new baby, Talli, born 28th of March and the wedding was April 17.

Jessah at Chase's Wedding

In Phoenix, there is time for great grandmothers to get in trouble. Granddaughter, Dawn was puzzled when her seven year old, Andrew, commented, "I got to make more money. I am looking for girls!"




I offered him a quarter to first, dance with Jessah. That wasn't hard. He just wished he held out for more money, so I gave him two quarters.




Later, I offered him a quarter if he could get his cousin, Jackson to dance with his little sister. He really tried, that boy will work hard for a quarter. Finally he gave up and sacrificed himself. He danced with Ashley and got another quarter.
