Grandbabies are so GREAT!

Future firefighter?  Like Grandpa, like granddaughter? 

Isn't this dress and of course the granddaughter beautiful?  Leena acted like Cindrella in this dress store especially when she tried on this dress.  Grammy had to buy it.  We are going to take some more pictures soon. 

 

Lainey loves her Papa.  She looks like she is telling him some big story!

Awww...what a cutie.  For some reason, she loved wearing this hat.  She has Papa's glasses. 

Again, with the hat!

 

We went to a Mustang's ballgame.  Leena had her face painted.  Look at those blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair!  I know, Grandma is proud!

Goofing off with Uncle Collin.  Now look who is wearing that hat!  Lainey has a finger puppet in her mouth that she won at the Abrielle Neff Foundation Children's fair. 

At the Mustang's game.  Yes, she wanted to wear the hat there also!  Just look at that face!  Makes a Mimi and Papa melt!

Lainey was given a ball from a team player.  Big sister didn't think that was fair!  Leena wanted to get autographs so I suggested she get some for her sister's ball and some for her own ticket.  She thought that might work. 

All in all, this was a great weekend we had with the girls.  They were troopers as we had them on the run the whole time.  Nothing is better than grandkids. 

Happy Father's Day!

Phillip and his dad. 

We went to the annual Stanberry Car Show.  Took a pic of Tanner and Phillip.  Tanner has just about passed up his dad in height. 

Sweet 15!

My baby boy turned 15 yesterday.  I can't believe it!  You think you can't wait for them to grow up sometimes (come on, most of has thought that) then when it is here, you wonder where the time went.  My mom always told me that the older you get, the faster time goes.  I totally believe it.  And I can't figure out how my kids have become older and I stay the same age...29!  (cough)  I have pics of Collin getting his license and will post when I get my new computer.  I haven't been able to post very many pics, as you can tell, because this old computer doesn't have the parts to upload pics with. 

Collin was barely 6lbs when he was born.  He barely fit into preemie clothes.  One of his little socks would fit on my finger!  Now he is 5' 9.5" (I have to put the .5" per his request) and weighs over 200#.  He is built like a football player.  He almost didn't make it twice.  Once was while I was 4 months pregnant with him and I had to have my appendix removed.  I had to have emergency surgery.  Thank God that Dr. Wurm knew something wasn't right because I didn't have the classic symptoms.  The other was during birth when we kept losing his heart beat.  I had to be on oxygen and they kept slowing down the process then speeding it up.  I kept begging my dad to go get his calf pullers!  Finally, after 22 hours of labor, the little bugger was born.  After he was born, Dr. Wurm told me no more babies.  No problem!  I had difficulty giving birth to my daughter as well. 

So, anyway...happy birthday Bearcat!  We all love you very much. 

Love those Pringles!

Lainey LOVES Pringles! We couldn't keep her out of them. We were at Leena's soccer practice and had a picnic. This was taken on 4/13. We spent 3 days with the girls at their house. Loved every minute of it!

Happy Birthday, Papa!

Today is my father-in-law's birthday. He is 92 but sure doesn't look it! I hope I do as well as he does if I reach that age! I love my father-in-law and am very blessed to have someone special like him. My mother-in-law was great also, we miss her a lot. I know Lavelle misses her so much. Thank you Lavelle for accepting me and treating me like your daughter. We love you and hope your day is as wonderful as you are.

It's Here!

Yay! We got our Wii Fit Plus today! I have been wanting this for so long. We finally got the Wii last week but there was no Wii Fit Plus to be found. I finally had to order it online. I exercised tonight for 45 minutes. I love it! I used it at Lacy and Matt's last week when we stayed there for a few days also. I have been battling a few pounds that I gain/lose and am determined to get them off. I then want to keep getting more off. With Weight Watchers and the Wii, I WILL succeed! Keep me in your thoughts please. I am so thankful I have Phillip to support me. He is a great hubby!

February

February is my favorite month. I love Valentine's Day and of course, my birthday. I love all the pink, too. My birthday was great. I received many phone calls, texts, and cards. I ate at La Bonita with Phil, Collin, and Tanner. Of course, they had the waiters sing to me while I wore the sombrero. Darn, I didn't get the pink one! Valentine's was nice and quiet, spent with Phil and the boys. About a week before, I came home from work on a Friday, to greet a fire in the fireplace. Dinner was waiting and a small table set with candles was set before the fire. What a romantic I have!
