Remember?

Remember on June 23rd...I said I had some news...well I am a few days late and most everyone already knows but for those of you who don't....Tabitha is getting married!!! Jacob purposed Friday and gave her a very pretty, very big diamond ring!!!! Haven't seen her this happy in a long time... March 18th is the date if she don't change it...What will we do with an empty nest??? Just sit and listen to the peace and quiet I guess...til Raegan comes running through the door!!! That's when the good times begin! More on the wedding plans in the weeks and months ahead..see y'all!

UPDATE!

THIS WILL BE SHORT AND SWEET...ITS HARD TO TYPE LEFT HANDED, AND THAT IS WHAT I MUST DO FOR NOW BECAUSE...AFTER AN ER VISIT(CAT SCAN AND X-RAYS) BEING DIAGNOSED AS NERVE DAMAGE, A FAMILY DR VISIT, BEING DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A TORN ROTATOR CUFF AND BEING SENT TO AN ORTHOPEDIC DR WHERE HE X-RAYED ME AND CONFIRMED THE TORN ROTATOR CUFF THING...THEN 2 WEEKS LATER, YA KNOW JUST A FOLLOW UP, X-RAYS AGAIN....AND LOW AND BEHOLD MY ARM IS BROKE...DUH...I'M NO DR, BUT WHEN YOU HEAR IT POP ALMOST EVERY TIME YOU MOVE IT, ITS PROBABLY BROKE...PART OF ME WANTS TO BE EXCITED, RIGHT, AFTER ALL NO RC SURGERY... WELL...HE HASN'T RULED THAT OUT YET..JUST NEEDING TO GET THE BREAK HEALING FIRST...HAD HE KNOWN TO BEGIN WITH (AFTER CAT SCAN AND THE 1ST 2 X-RAYS)THAT IT WAS BROKE, HE WOULD HAVE PUT ME IN THIS IMMOBILIZER THING THEN AND I WOULD HAVE ALMOST 3 WEEKS OF HEALING BY NOW. INSTEAD HE SAYS USE IT WORK THE SORENESS OUT OF IT WHICH WAS JUST MAKING IT WORSE...SO FOR NOW I WILL TYPE AND IM SURE MAKE MANY TYPOS LEFT HANDED...KEEP IT REAL AND STAY OUTTA THE ER!

Hello Again :)

Yes like everyone else...this week has been busy, busy, busy...First, although others have posted already(shame on me) My Dad received the Holy Ghost Sunday night at church..I know, crazy huh..shocked us all...He seems so happy...I had a pretty bad head ache Wednesday and he came over to pray for me, along with the kids and Joyce..He just fit right in...started praying for me...would have been real sweet had I not been in so much pain...He will be baptized on Sunday. Meanwhile...Oral Surgeon calls Tuesday...says Tabitha has to be at hospital in Gadsden on Wednesday (day I got head ache)...and has to be there at 12:30 to check in Friday(today). She is not looking forward to it either. Last year, around this time, she went to have all her wisdom teeth cut out...well...after about an hour or so, they come and get me..when I got in her room she was having some kind of reaction(to say the least). The nurse says she's not doing to good...she was jerking all over foaming at the mouth and crying...I was like no kidding scared me to death...the Dr walks in and says we had some problems...we were only able to get out one...we gave her the maximum amount of medicine we can and she would still not go out... she has been like this since we got started...I'm like...your kidding me, why didn't someone get me...he said if we try again we will have to do it in the hospital...we left there and drove home from Albertville with her hyperventilating (spelling?) all the way home..I really thought she might die...anyways as you know she didn't, which leads us to today...she is going in the hospital to have it done and like I said she is very nervous...can't say that I blame her though. But I know there are lots of good children of God out there praying for her today, so I think she will be ok.

I had a real good friend call me the other day and wanted to know if what she had heard about my Dad getting the Holy Ghost was true...she was surprised I hadn't called her....Well, I am truly sorry to anyone I haven't got to call...like I said I have been really busy this week..I have also sat with Ray's grandmother 2 days this week because she is not doing well, so Please forgive me..I'll try to do better next time....until next time...Have a blessed day...I hope I do!

Pain, Pain and did I mention PAIN!!!!

Well, fellow bloggers...let me tell ya...I knew getting older comes aches, and forgetfulness, gray hair, weight issues, wrinkles...the list goes on and on...However, what I was not aware of is the clumsiness, stupidity and plan ole self inflicted wounds to your already aching body....

Last week was a long one because Jamie(daughter-in-law) and Raegan (beautiful grand-daughter) was out of town with Dustin(oldest son)...so by the end of the week I was really missing my grand baby (I know tear, tear). So, at last...Friday, sometime around 10:30 she arrived...beautiful as ever...so Grandmother stops everything (halfway through much needed chores being done, oh well) and starts a much needed day and hopefully weekend of spoiling her little angel... We start by playing in the floor for just a bit...she is so fun :)...but in just a little while by about 11:15 or so she seems hungry so we set down at the table for a little snack, ummm sweet potatoes I think... Gobble Gobble, smack, smack, umm, umm, their gone in no time. Ok... "Ya wanna go check the mail with Grandmother?" I remember asking her..(like she is gonna say sure Grandmother lets go). So I get her out of the high chair... slip on Tabitha's flip flops now known as "slick flops" and with Raegan on my left hip...off we go...one step down my two step set of steps and..................suddenly...my feet are over my head.... my tailbone is perfectly implanted in the foyer floor...my right arm is some how thrown behind me...and Raegan is still perfectly planted on my left hip, looking at me like "Why are we down here Grandmother"....well at this point I knew my shoulder (at least) was broken and I could not lift my arm at all....The worst pain I have ever felt in my life was shooting through me from my neck to my elbow.... So...How do I get up? I can't lie here til someone comes, it could be hours...Raegan can't stay setting here on the floor... my phone is...you guessed it...on the dinning room table where I had just been feeding Raegan.... soooo..here goes...I have to do it....come on Laura your tuff just get up and help yourself and your grandbaby....so...not without screaming and moaning...I pull myself up off the floor...pick Raegan up, who is still looking at me like.."ok I was looking forward to checking the mail Grandmother, whats the deal"...We slowly make it to the dinning room where I stand Raegan up at the window seat and grab the phone...I gotta get someone here that can take care of Raegan...what if she needs her diaper changed or a bottle...what if she gets hungry again....So I call Dustin and Jamie..."Dustin, are y'all at home?" ..."I fell, I'm pretty sure I've broken my shoulder...I need someone to get Raegan" he says "we are in Trenton"..."Ok, I will call Tabitha...I'm hurting real bad I gotta go..I'll ttyl"...so I call Tab..tell her what happen and to get home right away... well in the meantime..Dustin calls Derrik my nephew(fireman) and tells him...so he is the first one to get here and by this time I am hurting so bad I could die...sick to my stomach and poor ole Raegan still has this look on her face...So, Derrick says "Laura, you need to let me call an ambulance!"...I said.."will they give me something for pain?" He said "yes I will tell them"...I said "YES CALL THEM!"...meanwhile...Tab gets here, gets Raegan...Paramedics arrive...they say I have a broke rib and broken shoulder...(my tailbone had not started hurting at this point). They checked out Raegan and said she was fine despite the look of amazement on her face...Ray (and all his workers get here) just as they are putting me on the cart to wheel me out...In the ambulance (still in my driveway) they start an IV...which is not working to good for some reason but they were able to get it started...Dustin peeks his head in as the IV needle is going in and I thought he was gonna be sick...anyways...off to Scottsboro we head...still in pain..IV not working so morphine was not getting into my system fast enough...but just before we arrive at the hospital the med has finally started taking the edge off the pain....So....after I have a CAT scan, then head to x-ray where the nurse argues with me saying it's my left shoulder not my right...this went on for about 10 mins. til she finally calls the Dr and ask him what shoulder it is....LIKE I DON"T KNOW....I'M SORRY BUT THIS LADY WAS A FULL BLOWN IDIOT AND I"M BEING NICE...anyway...after a bumpy ambulance ride, CAT scan and several x-rays(on my right side) the Doc comes in and says...no broke bones..see your Dr on Monday to follow up... I said..."ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" He said "Nope..nothing broke." He has the nurse to put me in a neck brace and a sling...Ray had to pretty much do it for her cause she did not know what she was doing...and no this was not the same nurse that was gonna x-ray my left side...

OK.....after a long and very painful, restless weekend, I see my Dr on Monday morning...he tells me he thinks I have a torn rotator cuff...AIN'T GOTTA CLUE WHAT THAT IS AT THAT POINT!...He sends me to an Orthopedic Dr...he tells me the same thing...BUT...he says I will need surgery...he will have to do an MRI...but......my insurance won't pay for an MRI until he tries some form of treatment first....sweeeet......what kind of treatment you might ask....well....he sticks this needle in my shoulder about 3 inches long, felt like it went to my elbow...and shoots it full of stuff...he says if this don't work we will do an MRI in 2 weeks and the surgery....So....IF it don't work...this pain is here for 2+ weeks...Although right at this moment it is better then it was that day...or I wouldn't be on here.....so unless the Good Lord sees fit to heal me...I will be in pain for a little while longer....

So, if you feel the urge to pray for a clumsy ole grandmother...in Pain, Pain and did I mention Pain....then please, please do so....she will greatly appreciate it!!!

Cute!

Is That Edible?

Are you Serious?

Feeling Better!

I am feeling much better today...mowed and got to hot, but I feel better...Raegan (and Jamie of course) is outta town again this week and I really, really miss her... They are coming home tomorrow tho...I didn't get to see her Sunday like I had planned so I feel guilty..I should have let her stay the night Saturday night but Dustin was leaving to go out of town and it was fathers day so I thought she needed to be with him...:-( now I'm sad I did that...oh well I will get over it... Well not much to say today... seems that I might have some interesting stuff in the near future but as for now...gotta keep it hush....but Im not good at secrets ;-) stay tuned!!!! lol

WOW!

Ok...I have had this cold junk that started in my head about 3 weeks ago and is in my chest now...Well I am sick and tired of being sick and tired so...today I decided to take a Rx that the Dr gave Tabitha for this same kinda junk (she couldn't take it)...well it has knocked me for a loop...I'm talking I wouldn't be surprised if I started seeing little men coming out from under the furniture...I had no idea that stuff would do that... but at this moment I'm not coughing...although I'm not real sure I have a lung left to cough from because I'm pretty sure it came out earlier, along with a few other unknown blobs of something or other...yuk :-p But what ever it is I want it out..so I guess it's a good thing...now that I've grossed y'all out and you can see just how dull my life is..guess I'll catch ya next go around...until then pray for me..I will you!

She's Back!!!

Finally she is back! As you can see she likes the pool Tabitha got her...and Tabitha is enjoying it to....and speaking of Raegan...gotta get back to her...ta ta for now!

URG!!!!!!

SHE IS NOT COMING HOME TODAY.... HOW CAN I MAKE IT ANOTHER NIGHT AND DAY WITHOUT SEEING HER...I JUST DON'T THINK I CAN. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY TOOK HER AWAY AND ARE KEEPING HER THIS LONG... I KNOW SHE MUST MISS ME...SHE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE HER GRANDMOTHER IS AND WHY SHE HASN'T SEEN HER IN SOOOO LONG... I HOPE SHE STILL KNOWS ME...OH NO WHAT IF SHE DON'T REMEMBER ME...URG!!!!

I miss Rae Rae!!

Listen up people... I haven't seen my grand-daughter since Sunday...I am having some kinda withdrawal. Im seriously considering going to bed and covering my head til she comes home...the only thing about that is every time I close my eyes I see her cute little face. And the bad new is, she is going away again next week. I will be doing some serious job hunting next week so maybe I will be too busy to think about her. I just love her so much!!!! Jamie if you are reading this...come home please...really soon like right now...I know Raegan is missing her Grandmother and Paw Paw!!!

I get confused...sorry!

Ok...I have never been the brightest bulb in the lighthouse, and often I make mistakes in my spelling... I have asked my daughter how to spell words since she was in the 2nd grade I guess...Give me a math problem and I can figure it out and there probably isn't a checkbook or credit card account that I can't reconcile... but with out spell check, I would be lost.... The thing is...If you choose the right way to spell the wrong word, spell check dont help ya... I mean... it makes no SINCE, CENTS, SENSE to me that you can spell certain words TO, TOO, TWO or three different ways...My Sister-in-law has been another ONE, WON that I am forever asking how TO, TOO, TWO spell words...recently she was telling me I was misspelling WHICH...I was using WITCH...well guess what spell check says it's spelled RIGHT, WRITE, WRIGHT...how is ONE, WON TO, TOO, TWO NO, KNOW WITCH, WHICH is the RIGHT, WRITE, WRIGHT WITCH, WHICH TO, TOO, TWO use?? SO, SEW... If I, EYE get confused and use the wrong form of words or just PLANE, PLAIN ole misspell them..you can let me KNOW, NO or just figure out what I, EYE was trying to say all on your own...but FOR, FOUR now I will keep Blabbing or Blogging about stuff that makes NO, KNOW SINCE, CENTS, SENSE anyways......

Back to the Real World

Well, revival's over...It was great...(I'm wore out but revival was good)Sunday we had one to make it..yah!!! Sunday night was my night to cook...BBQ and hotdogs(imagine that)we cooked waaaaay too much... 100 lbs of bbq and 100 hotdogs...plus left overs from Sunday morning...we had about 50 lbs of bbq left...but although I was give-out I was glad to get my night over... I didn't make it Monday morning but went that night...Church was called off because Bro Wayne Whitley's Grandma died on Tuesday morning but I went Tuesday Night, Wednesday morning and night...all was good...Thursday I stayed home cause I had been fighting a sinus infection that felt like it had went to my lungs all week so I stayed home and later Andrea brought Raegan to me...We took her to church with us that night. It was Jamie's night to cook and I helped her cause Dustin was outta town...long night..got in bed after mid-night...Went back to church Friday morning..had another to make it a young boy not sure what his name is...After lunch (and cleaning up) it was the teenagers night to cook....wellll... (the teenagers all went to the hospital to visit Bro Zion witch I forgot to say that on Wednesday he had a wreck on the way to church and got hurt really bad (God really helped him, THANK YOU LORD)....anyways instead of them cooking Sister Gloria and Brother Royce had lots of it done and the rest the parents stayed and done...and it took all afternoon...I felt like my feet would fall off...but it was all worth it because that night at church..................are you ready for this....................are you sitting down...................CHASITY CORNELISON RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN LORD....That was many many prayers answered...she seemed sooo happy..and Brother Nick....oh my goodness.... we will have a hard time getting him outta the clouds for a while....Paris, Nick & Chasity's daughter, had the best response tho she said... "I'm so glad my Mom got the Holy Ghost and I got a new Pool!!!" lol Well anyway our church will be shoutin' for a while to come.... and that brings me to today... I hate to say it but I feel like...well junk I guess...or mud or one of those words we can't use...my sinus stuff still is not gone and I have been sick to my stomach all day....Pink is not Shelby's color and green is definitely not mine :(...yuk

Good Bye Job...Hello Employment Office!!

Today is my last day on the job... I hope I can find another job like this one, I love the work, a little too much down time, but I love doing books and keeping everything balanced. But if I had my rathers, the Good Lord would send Ray enough work so I didn't have to work...I would spend 2 Days a week cleaning house 2 days a week with Raegan and 2 days a week visiting the sick and old people...then of course there is Sunday when I would go to church all day...Anyway...thats my thoughts on my job situation.
We went to New Market last night..it was pretty good... I know some people had heavy hearts..but it was good..we left before alter call was over cause we had a long ride.
Tonight I have to go get the rest of the stuff for revival...Tomorrow we are meeting at church in the morning to work...and Ray got the tea maker hooked up...yay! Makes 3 gallons in 3 minutes...woohoo!!! But any way (had a moment there)...then back home to get ready for church tomorrow night..then church Sunday, Sunday Night, Monday, Monday night, Tuesday, Tuesday night, Wednesday...and on and on I think you should get the picture(thats for those readers who don't know our hectic revival weeks).But in a strange way Im looking more forward to it this year..dont know if its because I actually get to go (dont have a job) or maybe it could be for the first time in 11 years I dont have a child in the alter!!!! Oh man that is good!!! Dustin started praying when he was 13, he is almost 24 now..before he received it Chris started praying(5 years I think) while Chris was praying Tabitha & Josh got it...(both were 1 timers tho)....and Chris received it last year during revival.. so yes I guess I do have something to look forward to and something to be very thankful for!!! Well peeps..c-ya at revival!!

Count down to Flat Rocks Revival 2010...

Suuuppp People!!! lol Kinda had a Nic Nix moment there for a sec... Well after today I work 2 more days then..UNEMPLOYED!!! But make no mistake about it, I will be busy. Saturday morning I am meeting my group at the church to pull meat off the bone for BBQ witch we are having our night (Sunday) of revival...we will also be baking cakes for Strawberry Short Cake, and brownies. I know pretty simple desert huh...well my husband tells me to keep it as simple as possible so...thats what Im trying to do. Oh I hope I dont forget to go Friday night to get the rest of the stuff...geesh..knowing me I will. Anyway..guess I had a brain poot...I will be at the church for the better have of the day Saturday , go home get ready for church and back to Flat Rock that night. That is the beginning of a very busy week... I am looking forward to it tho... I will get to actually go during the day this year...yeepie! Then...starts the job hunting the following week. But if Im lucky and with lots of praying that won't take long. So Pray People Pray...I have to work and McD's just aint my cup of tea... Well thats all for now, sorry so boring but thats my life...until I get another sporadic thought and have to bog it...peace out!!!

Headed to New Market... Revival Season has begun!

This morning we are headed to New Market where Brother Royce & Sister Gloria will be this week. We are planning to stay through tonight because we don't know if we will make it back any this week. I will have a busy week this week, I work 7-5, I have been putting in applications at different places so I hope I get an interview or 2 this week(after all I will be unemployed after Friday) and Flat Rocks revival Starts Saturday Night!!!! Gotta get ready for that but thankfully my group to cook is Sunday night, so I will have mine over with. But I will probably try to help other groups since I won't be working...unless I get a new job...geesh...I didn't expect my life to be like this at 41 years old...oh well it could be worse...I do have the Holy Ghost and a wonderful family and church even if I am unemployed...Well gotta get ready...c-ya in the funny pages!!!

Life will go on..it has to.

Well Good Morning, It's been a few days since I posted on here. Not a lot to talk about. The week started pretty slow, Raegan was really sick, running almost 102 fever, but with a lot of prayers and a little Tylenol, she is better now. Went to Pisgah's Graduation Tuesday night..Brother Justin Schrader graduated...they had a very nice graduation ceremony. Not much else for the rest of the week, well except I put in my notice at work and next Friday will be my last day. I have many reasons for leaving, most of witch I can't get into on here but to make a long story short...I need a more stable job, one I can grow with and retire from..and I just didn't see that happening. Elizabeth(my boss) took it well as though she knew it was coming. For a while now I have felt like they wanted me to quit anyway, well ever since she had her baby. Anyways as the title says life will go on...it has to. Now if someone out there is reading this that knows where I can get a job PLEASE HELP ME!!!! lol...Seriously though I gotta find another one..like asap.
We had our little princess last night (of course it was Friday). She got sleepy around 7pm and fell asleep really easy...well her ummmm...Wonderful PawPaw comes in and says she don't need to be asleep she won't sleep tonight...and he wakes her up...ugh!! In just a few minutes he decided no, she didn't need to get up...and he tries to put her back to sleep...well that didn't work..not only did it not work then it didn't work at 9:30, 10, 10:30, 11...(after riding her all around rainsville) still not asleep...she would dose off then start crying... well finally at almost 12:30 I was changing her diaper(for the 5th time) she propped her leg up on mine as soon as I got her diaper off and went to sleep....I let her lay there for a little while afraid to move her...finally outta fear she was gonna get my bed wet, I put her diaper on, dressed her, picked her up and put her in the bed...never made a sound, she was out of it...til about 4:30 she woke up, I gave her a bottle an right back to sleep...til now(8:50am)...she just woke up, soooo I guess my blog is over...Grandmother is needed..it's breakfast time!!!

New Blog

Tabitha's Graduation

Ok... As promised, here are some pix of Tabitha's Graduation. My camera went dead but between mine and Tab's we were able to get a few.

Friends!

Mother & Daddy!

The Brothers

The Grads!

Her Presentation, Diploma & Hat Toss!

I'm Outta Here!!!

An Idea...

OK... A while back I had this idea... Ray and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary on January 9th, 2011 and because we had a wonderful vow-renewal ceremony on out 20th, I didn't want a reception or anything for our 25th, sooo I ask to go on a cruise. The thing is I want our whole family to go and of course we can't afford 9 tickets they would have to buy their own and that's a lot to ask of them... But if we can find the right deal they are gonna consider it...
So...We have been looking, trying to scope things out. Right now it's just an idea. Hopefully soon it will become a plan and I will be blogging all the details....Stay tuned....

It's Over!!!

Well it's over..I have managed to get all my children through school...Tabitha's graduation was Saturday...it seems weird, I have been waiting and commenting about how I will shout afterwards, and I can't wait til it's over...but, I set here writing about it and I feel sad...It is over. I mean that part of my life, my children's life...I guess I thought it would feel better then it actually does...I don't know, call me crazy I guess (everyone else does, lol). Oh well before I know it, we will be thinking about college graduation, her getting married and all that other stuff that goes along with raising your children...and yes before we know we will actually be "Empty Nesters"!

The Graduation was really great. The place was packed. Tabitha was given her CNA and Meagan(Valedictorian) was given her scholarship, her speech made me cry. Then Tabitha had prepared a video for her class-mates, and that made me cry even harder... Davin was recognized by her piano teacher and got an award, then she played the piano. Jessica wrote a poem it was funny but again it made me cry. Last but not least Jordan wrote a song and sang it while playing the piano...it was sweet, funny and sad all at the same time. I've only got a few pix to post at this time but in a day or two I will post some of the actual ceremony.

Well lets see...dont have much time to post today...got lots to think about...Graduation in 2 day (praise the Lord it will soon be over, I might just shout)!!! And speaking of 2...Raegan has 2 teeth now...wow...I'm starting to feel old... But don't be mistaken...I'm feeling it but that dont mean that I am old...just saying! Oh and before I forget...ummm..ummm well...I've done forgot...see I'm not old...lol

We have been having wonderful meetings at church... 2 received the Holy Ghost on Sunday and 2 more on Tuesday... gearing up for revival!!!
I think I will go on vacation before revival starts..sounds good...well guess I'll blog atcha later!!!

Yeepie!

She did it, she finally did it!!! Raegan cut her first tooth!!!! Oh yes! Bring on the beans and taters!! Warning KEEP ALL FINGERS AWAY FROM MOUTH!!! I love it! She is such a blessing...and now I think I know why she hasn't been sleeping well at night!!! You go Girl! I'm doing good guys 2 posts in one day...wow..I'm good. Well enjoy a pic of the Little one tooth angel and her lovely grandmother!!!

Monday, Monday!

Well lets see...Monday morning(again)...this is gonna be a week of chaos to say the least. I work from 7 am til 5 pm everyday this week except Friday witch I'm taking off to do graduation stuff. Tonight I will attempt to start getting my house ready for graduation party...Tuesday night is church...Wednesday night I will work on getting house ready some more...Thursday night we have 50 or so table clothes at church to be ironed and start getting ready there for graduation...Friday (I'm off) going to church early...then we have rehearsal that night...Saturday, Graduation at 1pm...clean up there and then Graduation Party at my house at 6pm...Sunday, decoration at 2 places (Happy Home Rays family & Town Creek, my family)...and Church Sunday night....And Monday morning all over again :) SWEET! Guess y'all can check back in on Monday morning to see if I survived the week out of a drama movie!!! Well to close things today...I would like to ask everyone to pray for my nephew Kyle..he left yesterday headed to Afghanistan...so please remember him...until next time....Keep showing the love!!!

Friday!

It's finally Friday!!! I get my sweet little grand baby tonight...I haven't see her since Wednesday...urg! We finished getting Tabitha's stuff for Graduation, witch btw is a week from tomorrow, with the help of good friends Sheila and Vanessa!!! Got to spend time with them and we went to Olive Garden mmmmm! I will be glad when I can go back to paying bills with my weekly check because for the past several weeks its all been going on graduation stuff...but she is the baby, the caboose, the end of the line!!! We wont have anything left to worry about til she starts to college in the fall and then gets married and starts having kids...geeesh never mind, it'll never end!!!lol Well here is a pic of the 2 most important gals in our lives FOR THE MOMENT!!!

Well..how do ya like the new look? I LOVE it!!! Just thought I would check in with everyone. Today is my son Christopher's 21st Birthday...Happy Birthday Chris! Yesterday was my Husbands birthday and I didn't even have time to blog about it :(... Well his sweet daughter and daughter-in-laws all cooked him supper last night while I was at a graduation meeting... He loves being petted!!! Well that's it for now...maybe something a little more exciting next time..until then..keep showing the LOVE!!!

Two weeks from tomorrow...hope everyone can be there!!! She's going next week to register at Northeast for the fall semister so she will have it out of the way...Well until next time...keep visiting.

Well, It's now 19 days til Tabitha graduates and we still don't have invitations. We do have them ordered but just haven't got them in yet...I put it off to late... Still no Cap & Gown pictures have been taken, and at this point not sure if they will be. Why am I soooo unorganized? Well in 19 days it will all be over but the crying!!! Raegan is getting so big and smart.. getting a little bit of Dustin's attitude sometimes but mostly the sweetest thing.. she says "momom" and "dadda" and her latest word Tabitha taught her is "tata" and of course Tabitha thinks that is her saying Aunt Tabitha!! She don't have teeth YET! But she is setting really good, getting around on the floor by rolling... she'll be crawling and walking before we know it.

OK... I AM THE MOTHER OF 3 BOYS WHOM HAVE NOW FINISHED SCHOOL, GOT MARRIED AND STARTED HAVING ME SOME WONDERFUL GRANDKIDS(WELL JUST ONE FOR NOW BUT SHE IS A PRINCESS)...I AM ALSO THE MOTHER OF ONE BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER WHO WILL BE GRADUATING IN 23 DAYS...
