The middle child.....yes they do either get overlooked or are involved in the battles with the youngest, or the oldest.
She is clever. I think the one that most looks like/follows Laura
And is tiny with a high pitched voice. Deceptively sneaky.
OK..this one loves cars, trucks, and anything with wheels. He woke up in such a good mood today. I love it!!!
Another of Bronte alone...she likes the camera a bit too. Lots of text and photo with her cell phone. Is any teenager not obsessed with phones?
Here is Kiara! Lauras oldest. She is in love with the camera. She mugs all the time. I have these cuties til wednesday afternoon...
In the next week I will have all my grand kids at one time or another...except for my Louisiana crew :(
So will try to post a pic or two of them.
This should be Bronte and I
Well I can't think of anything exciting to say but am posting anyway. Hope you all are having a good day!!
I am learning how to retrieve photos again, so here goes. I figure if I post every day or two it will become a habit to post here.
Far from a great photo of me. Hair WAS brushed that day I promise
The rain was wonderful and even got to watch some snow flurries yesterday. Just to live the opposition of all things...the sun is shining brightly today and even though not WARM you can feel some warmth standing in the sunlight.
Sunday was very nice day. I love how it sections the week out!!!
3 grandkids for 2 night means 1 tired g-ma but a happy one. They were so much fun. Love the Wii but argue a bit with it.
Everyone give me their best idea of something to fondue. Doing a RS birthday party celebration on wednesday and want to bring something fun to dip....
I have to blog of my new found love of edamame!! Went to Kona grill with Angie and Laura for sushi.
Appetizer was the edamame beans in their pods with coarse salt on them. So good and so good for you. Then I found them in the frozen section at walmart for only a buck seventy eight a bag. Finally something I really like that doesn't break the bank. Guess it makes up for loving sushi that DOES break the bank.
I am starting again with a simple post (its really all i know how to do)
Hello to my family....hello to friends...
Life is busy. I don't know where the days go.
We went to Tucson for a meeting Gary had and I spent my day at the gem and mineral show (one of the many they have).
You wouldn't think rocks were interesting but the gemstones that some of them turn into are fabulous.
I picked up a few strings of jasper, seed pearls, tigers eye, and other ones I will never remember their names. I have bought jewelry wire and clasps and hope this week to do up some fun pieces of jewelry. Wish me luck. I think I might need it. LOL
Good Morning All!
I had to write a few notes today.
This would have been my moms 85th birthday and on June 1st it would have been my dads 88th birthday. I miss them both but have come to realize how blessed I am they were the ones that raised me and that I will get to know again when my time on earth is through.
I have 2 pictures displayed in my house that are dear to me. One is their wedding picture and one is a year later when they lived in Rome, NY and my dad is in uniform.
This makes me feel as if they are right here beside me.
My computer keeps crashing and until I buy a new one I probably won't post many pictures. I am lucky most are on a scandisc and are saved.
I love you all. I (like all of you keep saying) am so grateful for this blogging stuff so I can always feel a part of you.....and hopefully you can feel my love thru the screen.
Its been so long since I posted I don't even remember how to change fonts and colors anymore.
My computer took a mini crash about a month ago and once again my pics are not on it. I know I have to back up things. I have the pictures on a card somewhere though....so that is good.
Don't die of shock but guess who is Relief Society pres of our ward? Ha ha. Is one of the reasons I have less time but thats not an excuse to not keep up with you all.
Was so fun to open up all your blogs today and see what you are up to.
We did take a drive to New Orleans and visited Cameron and his family. He has done a great job turning a beat down crack house into a beautiful place for him and his family. We helped build a shed while there. Using some of Grandpa Berts tools and also put the grandfather clock that belonged to him and Grandma Marge into his living room.
Ate wonderful food. Hit Cafe Du Monde 3 times for beignets.
Love you all.
I hope we treat our loved ones good every day. That is a true Valentines gift.
On a lighter note. I hope no one gets sick on all that chocolate...LOL
Well trying again to post pictures. We actually got snow. So here is looking out to the side of my house with and without snow!
Go Cardinals-
I am pumped for the game. Never before to the Super Bowl. I hope they break some Steel.
Love this pic of Angie
Puppy is growing.....
and the puppy in his jammies
OK--now I just have to download more pics. I still don't know how to pull something off the internet without messing it up.
Hugs to you all.
Just to say hello and keep in the habit of posting.
Puppy is doing well. He knows his name and plays a version of fetch. He loves Tres toys and Tres tries to steal his.
Bongo would also like to play with the cat but has found out that cats have claws.
So does anyone else watch the reality shows but me? Tell me your favorite ones.
This is like my Tres---can never keep his hair long though. Too much upkeep.
This is my new baby. He is feisty and we love him. He has grown alot already from these pictures. He knows he is supposed to pee outside but knowing and doing are two different things. Ha Ha
Well the holidays have come and gone --thank goodness. There is so much hype I think we get overloaded.
Had a good time with the 3 daughters, spouses and 8 of 11 grandkids here. Was noisy but a noise that made me smile. The economy hit home but made us realize more and again how important family is. If only Cameron could have been here...We hope to drive there in the next month or so. He claimed stuff of Grandpa Huntingtons that we have been storing. I am ready for him to have it......((((smile)))
I have been reading all your blogs and I am pleased to see you all survived the chaos and even more happy I can read about it.
I will learn this picture stuff. I have a new puppy to show off. My Tres (shih tzu) is not so pleased with our new baby but I think he will learn to love him
He is a Papillon named Bongo:^) 8 weeks old and full of the dickens.
Forget old dogs learning new tricks....I guess I am just an old dog!
Thanks Miriam---I caught your cold but am not brave enough to post pics...that is if I could figure this whole $%@###* blasted thing out.
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all! Last week and then maybe normalcy will take over again.
Kisses, hugs and smoochies to you. Hug your loved ones!
