Hello, Again!!!!

2011-05-21T12:34:00.000-07:00

Happy Mother's Day (above!)! Steve cooked some YUMMY ribs!

What will I do without my Logan next year??? I sure do love that boy!!!

A PROUD Gam-ma, for sure!
Austin was sneaking in too! :)

Aunt Gert

2010-08-29T07:37:00.000-07:00

Thought I'd post a few pics we took with Aunt Gert! We miss her in SC already!!!

We tried (really hard) to get a good picture of the two of them with Little Bit, and this is the best we could do! Oh well....
Here's a quick pose with Aunt Gert and Zach! You know she doesn't just love the camera! ;)

Logan cuddled up to her in the chair...caught them off guard for a snap shot!

Best Medicine Ever....

Okay, so if you are reading this, chances you know about all the stressful things that have been going on with me! Here's proof that I do (at least occasionally) take a break from it all! We went to Steph's to chill out the other day, and Logan was such a "ham!" I love that boy!!!! ;)

The Beach Trip

2010-06-22T22:45:00.001-07:00

Yes, that IS a shark's tooth in my mouth! If you could see it out of my mouth you would be amazed at how big it actually is. It even still has the "root" attached. Steve found it on one of our walks and then I took it and claimed it as my own! Don't be surprised if you see this picture again somewhere! Just call me Dennis (the Mennace)!

This is what I love about being at the beach...just sitting down on the beach, looking at the ocean, and burning my "bahootchie" because I very rarely use sunscreen until I made to(ha!)! I could SO live here and look at this every day!

Looking forward to the beach...

2010-05-22T15:52:00.000-07:00

My favorite palce to be HAS to be the beach! I am SO looking forward to going to the beach this year! We're going the 2nd week in June, and Steve gets to stay the whole time (he was going to have to come back early for work, but now he doesn't have to! Yeah!!!). Uncle Mike is going with us this year, and both the kids are bringing a "friend"! And, Zach gets to join us this year too since he's not out West this time! Lobster skin, here I come!

Military Ball (Zach & Lakin)

2010-03-14T20:19:00.001-07:00

Zach and Lakin went to the Military Ball on Saturday. Lakin is involved in the ROTC at Airport, and she and Zach got to go! They both looked great, and they had a good time! Zach is even talking about joining ROTC and pursuing some type of military/army type thing in the future! Of course, I cried as they got in her aunt's car to leave...but then, I cry at toilet paper commercials...ha!

Let it Snow (MORE!!!!!)....

2010-02-12T17:33:00.000-08:00

This is just the beginning of the snowfall! We're already up to at least 4 inches and it's still falling BIG snowflakes (and hard!!!!)! I'm LOVING this!!!!! Fire in the fireplace, snowman built, S'mores to come...AND Steve's off! Wahoo!!! We're having a blast!

ALL my Grandkids

2010-01-02T18:33:00.000-08:00

There are only a couple times a year that ALL eight of my grandkids are together at the same time! This was one of those times! Aren't they the cutest??? It's kind of hard to get them all looking and smiling at the same time...so this will have to do for now! Happy New Year's to everyone!!!

Pictures from Before Steve's Christmas Party

2009-12-19T20:25:00.000-08:00

Thought I'd post a few pics we took before going to Steve's Christmas party at work. Here are the four of us...

and then, here are me and Steve!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Thanksgiving

2009-11-27T17:48:00.000-08:00

Here I am waiting ever so patiently to steal the turkey skin from everyone else that has been smelling it and calling dibs!!! Good thing Steve loves me best! ;)

Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was as yummy as mine! The best part of the day was when I kept making everyone laugh by walking around acting like a gobbling turkey doing my turkey call. They were quite aggitated that I wouldn't stop, and maybe it did get a little "old" after two hours of random breaking out in it, but it was very funny if I say so myself. "Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!" Just wait until they see my Santa imitation at Christmas!

My ALL Time Favorite Animal

2009-11-12T17:13:00.000-08:00

Take a deep breath and enjoy the wonderous smell of elephants...

All of my life I have always loved elephants. I think they are so big and beautiful. I love their floppy ears and how they can use them to fan themselves. I wish my ears were big and floppy! Then, I could wiggle them when I sing the song..."Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?...." The best thing about elephants is their smell. I could sit under the covered shed at the zoo and watch them all day long! Some say I'm strange for this...especially Logan because he really dislikes their smell. I will keep on with my thoughts, though, and LOVE these wonderful animals!!!!

The BIG 5-0...yep, me!

2009-07-13T12:13:00.000-07:00

Okay, my body and bones ached SO terribly this morning I had to literally roll out of bed. I forgot where I put my glasses so I stumbled my way to make coffee. My arthritis kicked in and my back locked up as I tried to pick up Caralee. I was astonished to see all the gray hair and wrinkles in the mirror too! Did I mention I couldn't see my feet through my sagging....well, you catch my drift. Oh boy...fifty is going to be fun! Wonder how long I can keep my real teeth!?!

And, since computers weren't around when I was growing up I couldn't figure out how to make this last picture any bigger...but it was part of my b-day celebration outfit that I ACTUALLY wore out in public to lunch at Sumo's! Yum-O!

What a Lovely Rocker Couch Thingy...

2009-07-04T21:12:00.000-07:00

This is my MOST FAVORITEST Rocker Couch Thing ever!!! Seeing it brought back many, many memories. Anyone else remember one like this? Paul got it and sold it at a garage sale we had...I was quite attached (as you can see)! My kids thought I was crazy for liking it, but oh well!

The BESTEST daughter in the world...ha ha

Me and Steph at the Beach

Anyone that knows me knows that I SO, SO, SO LOVE the beach! There's something quite relaxing about dragging 50 pounds of beach stuff out on the sand at 9:00 in the morning to claim our spot for the day, baking/cooking/tanning my skin to a crisp ALL day, and watchin' my grandkids surf the waves and sip salt water from their fingers...awwwwww....Can't wait to go back. Thought I'd enter the blog world with the COMPLETE "help" of my bestest daughter (ha! The one writing all of this).
