My playmate, my grandson Ethan. We have so much fun playing in the dirt, planting, raking, anything outside. Ethan loves to help his KayKay, and I love to play with my Ethan. Sometimes we let Amber, Randy and Jim play with us too!

OK - this is not really me and Jim.....but just give us a few more years. haha

This really is Jim at Sliding Rock - he made many trips into the icy cold water at Sliding Rock.

Jim and I had a great vacation in Aug 2008....Sightseeing in the Smoky Mountains, beautiful mtns and waterfalls, shopping in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, a couple of days on the beach, attending the Bristol Nascar Races, and more sightseeing, shopping and eating. We even went to the Dixie Stampede! We also tried indoor skydiving, go-cart racing, and slid down a huge flat rock into freezing water at Sliding Rock. What a wonderful trip and special time together. Thank you Jim!

Ethan shows by his expression, it is my naptime!

Jim and Kay McIntyre

Grandson Ethan and PaPee Jim are best buddies. Ethan is already into extreme sports.....anything that has a loud motor. Notice his elbow guards and helmet. He is ready for anything!

Of course, Jim wanted to take a boat ride too, so Ethan let Jim get into his new boat.

Ethan took Amber for a boat ride in our pool yesterday! Like his Mommy, Daddy and Grands, he is definitely a water lover.

"I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee, won't my mommy be so proud of me."

Ethan took us Trick or Treating last night. He was a Baby Bumble Bee and Amber his Mommy Bee. They were precious, except Mommy Bee's leggings kept sliding down to her ankles! HaHa! We got the giggles and Randy thought we were crazy! We have neighbors who decorate more this time of year than at Christmas so it was quite a sight to see! Jim and I gave out candy until 7:30pm when he realized Diancing with the Stars was on...and I can't miss Mario dancing so we shut off all the lights and hid in the back of the house with our TV.

Jim and I went to Pensacola Beach on Thurs. for 3 nights with the owner of the company. I did not know him, but before the trip was over, we discovered we had gone to Garland Elementary at the same time. He was in 3rd grad when I was in 1st. His name is Larry Reynolds. Ann, do you rememeber that name? He moved away 2 years before we did.

Anyway, we had a great trip, visited the Naval Air Museum and piloted the simulated Top Gun fighter jets. The wind and rain were brutal, butfinally on Saturday the Sun came out and we went sightseeing to Destin and the outlet mall. Our fishing trip was cancelled due to high waves again. I guess it just isn't meant to be. Our last 3 trips to the gulf have been grounded due to storm and waves. Oh well, we still loved the getaway and getting to know Jim's boss and his girlfriend Kelly.
