MacKenzie - once you are old enough to learn about your Gramma Sandy/Zebra...you will find out she is compelled to take pictures of anything of beauty that she sees. You will always see her with a camera in her hand. Sometimes you may get embarrassed if she starts taking pictures of your friends' houses, both inside and out. But..you will get use to it. Your Gramma thought this was beautiful so I had to photograph it.

A nice picture with your Auntie Monica in the background.

Here is your mommy with Auntie Laura.

I don't know everybody's name but your mommy is being measured to see if someone guessed her tummy size just right. I sure didn't.

Three beautiful views

Dropping off more shower pics

It will take a few days to get them all up probably. There were a lot.

The house looked so beautiful

I made sure I got photos both inside and out.

How wonderful is this? Just beautiful.

Of course your mommy. Erin wore such a pretty fern hat. Mommy wanted to try it on. It didn't fit though.

THE GARDEN BUG GANG

How each bug was identified, named and catalogued
Lightning bug aka Hunt: We observed lightning bug for several years. We noticed that he was a particularly fast bug, flitting here and flitting there. He brought a lightness to every situation, every event he flew into. His buggy smile could light up a room, hence he became lightning bug.

Lady Bug aka Holly: Lady bug gained her name by simply observing her mannerisms. She is a bug that is every inch female. She loves soft and furry things, and you can tell when she grows up, she will be a little lady.

Stink Bug aka Cayden: Stink bug was observed for several months and once this little bug started c rawling, he always crawled with his butt up in the air. We heard the daddy bug call him stink bug, hence the name stuck. Hopefully in the future he might evolve into a different bug because who would want to be labeled stink bug as they grow up. But, for now the name fits. Stink bugs are cute and they only smell if you threaten them. He is never threatened so he doesn't smell.

Bed Bug aka Hannah: And then, there is bed bug. Bed bug was named for a particular reason which will have to be shown through pictures. The pictures will follow within a few days. Bed bug, loves to play in her bed with all her toys and stuffed animals. She is a happy little bed bug and ironically, she is NOT a cuddle bug. I would say that in my experience Lightning Bug and Stink Bug have been the cuddler's in the family. Imagine that, the male bugs are the cuddlers.

June Bug aka MacKenzie: This little bug is not pictured yet, because she is not hear yet. When she arrives, she will be added to the repertoir of bugs in the Gramma's garden.

Soon I will post a series of pictures that will explain why each bug got their buggy name.

And...stayed tuned for the cartoon series entitled "Bugging my Gramma."
