April 2015

 

On April 4th I went to see Zachary play flag football.  Then we went for lunch at Chilli's.  The service was horrible.  I was complaining and then got up to get the Manager.  While we were waiting for him talk to talk to us, you said that I am sort of like your father.  However, I think your father gets that from me. 

 

 

Easter Sunday, April 5th we went to BJ's for brunch.  Mr. Ron joined us.  You repeated the orders placed with our waitress.  I was pleasantly surprised and I said you might be able to wait on tables to help get you thru college. 

 

I told you and your brother that I had decided to have our annual Easter Egg Hunt in the garages rather waiting until our remodel was complete.  Before you came to our house you had an Easter Egg Hunt at your house.

 

 

 

 

Awhile back you got a grapefruit stuck in the Saguaro.  It looks like the cactus absorbed it.  So here you are trying to get another grapefruit stuck.

 

 

 

 

Then you and your brother went out back to putt.  Awhile later you came back to the patio with 2 broken hole markers.   Mr. Bob asked the two of you who broke them.  You said your brother did it and Zachary said you did it. One of you was not being honest.  Fortunately, Mr. Ron was able to fix them but told me that you must have been putting a lot of pressure on them.  He was surprised that the stick didn't break.  No more putting without an adult watching.

 

 

 

I hope you didn't spend all you money you got from the Easter eggs.

 

Saw you at Zachary's game on the 25th.  You rode with me to Barrio's for lunch.  While we waited for your parents and Zachary to arrive, you told me you were saving your money to buy a car.  I said I would match whatever you saved. 

 

On the 29th your mother posted this on Facebook.

On Friday the 13th I met you, your brother and mother at some Jumping place in north Mesa that had just opened.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After all that jumping, we went to de Rosa's, but it was under construction so we ate at their take out.    You rode with me

 

I brought you two a surprise and I let you open it after lunch. I got you guys some Saint Patrick cookies, which you loved.  I asked what is happening next Tuesday and you both knew it's St. Patrick's Day and you need wear green.  You don't have anything green to wear and wanted your mother to get something for you so you don't get pinched.  She said she'd paint green shamrock on your check.  I don't that will be enough green so you will probably get pinched.

 

I also learned that you took the hamsters to a pet store so they could be adopted

 

 

 

 

 

During lunch we talked about our tradition of having an Easter Egg hunt.  Easter will not be celebrated at our house because we are having major renovations under construction.   In any event, I asked both of you if you wanted to postpone the egg hunt and Zachary said he didn't want to.  However you wanted the Easter Egg hunt. wanted to postpone because you  think it's fun and you like the tradition.   Zachary wanted Nana  to get  games and put them in the Easter baskets  I have for you.  Looks like we will the hunt will be in early May.

  

Tomorrow night you and your brother are going to your friend Aiden for a sleepover.

 

 

 

You two have had a great spring break.


Your Aunt Rebecca posted this  on Facebook:

So I am trying to book a Birthday party for Sofia and when I give the woman on the phone my name she pauses, " Tantillo? I use to babysit for some Tantillo kids. They were really bad. They were twins." At first she could not remember the boys names but then the name Brian came to her! LMAO - Ask the boys if they had a sitter named Barb when they lived on Frontier.


On Saturday the 21st I watched your brother play basket ball.  You stayed home, so I didn't get to see you.

On Saturday the 28th, I went to see Zachary play flag football.  You were there.  I had planned on taking you out to brunch, but Zachary did not want to go.  You rode with me in my car to your house.  You said you really wanted to go out to eat.  After Zachary changed clothes and cool down, he decided he would go out to eat.  So off to Barraro's. 


This month at church I spearheaded getting the American flag and the Episcopal flag for Parish Hall.

Mr. Bob had his office redone.  This is a photo of his book shelf showing all our grandchildren.  You are first, then Karina, Jaiden, Wesley, Andrew, Alyssa, Courtney, Jessica and then Casen.

February 2015

On the 6th your school had a dance.  Your mother posted this on Face Book.  Not to leave Drew out.....he was getting his groove on too!

On Sunday the 8th you went hiking with your mother and brother.  Your mother posted this on Face Book:  Great way to start our day!!!....the boys did great.  Telegraph Pass.



On Valentine's Day I went to watch your brother play basketball.  You did not want to go so you stayed home with your father.  Later all of you came over for our annual Mardi Gras celebration. 

 

We played Wii bowling in the bedroom.  You and your brother took turns on my glider machine, which I had recently out of the garage.

 

After 2nd lining you sort of shook the hankie at my face.  You came into the kitchen to apologize.  I told you that I wanted you and your brother to have lots of memories and traditions to pass on.  I was disappointed that Zachary would not participate and you said "He's going thru puberty".  Some times you are so mature.

 

You got the baby.

 

 

Later you and your brother wanted to throw grape fruits at the cactus.  You got one to stick.

 

 

The next day our mother posted this on FaceBook.

 

On the 21st I went to see Zachary play basketball, but you wanted to stay home, so I didn't get to see you.

 

The man who owns your house is going to sell it.  Looks like you will have to move.  Your mother and father are looking for another house close to where you live now. 

Mr. Bob and I are renovating our house.  Mr. Bob's office is almost done, his furniture is still 3 weeks out.  The kitchen will be completely demolished and rebuilt.  The family room will have the carpet removed and tile to match the kitchen put down.  Also, stacked  rocks will be put on the wall with the windows.  The house is going to be a mess for a couple of months.  So no sleep overs for awhile.

On the 28th we went to Zachary's basketball game.  After the game we went to lunch at Peter Piper.  You rode with me in my car and told me that you like a girl names Rylie and she likes you.  Somehow we got on about I'm 30 years older that your mother.  I said I would be 71 in October and you as if Stewart was going to cater my party.  I said no, when I'm 75 he will.  You said you really liked the bar tender.

You also told me that your hamsters are going to be put up for adoption.
