One Year!! Harrison’s Gotcha Day!

Harrison, today it has been one year since God blessed our family with the privilege of you being a part of our lives.  I don’t even know how to explain in words how you have blessed our family! You have been such a fun little boy and it amazes me how much you are so much like your mama! You are such a fun little boy to be around! My favorite thing is when I walk in the room and you run with your arms wide open and jump into my arms and lay your head on my shoulder with that big sweet smile on your face.  I don’t think you even know yet what that does to my heart!! Harrison, don’t ever forget that you are such a special blessing to all of us and we love you to the moon and back.

I love you sweet boy! and I am so excited to be able to be your MeMe and to be a part of your life!!

Happy Candy Day

This is a little late but I have been really busy the last few days and haven’t really felt that great either, so here goes…..

Our little town celebrated Halloween on Saturday night since it was actually on a Sunday.  I personally like that better because I like my Sunday’s to be lazy and relaxing so I can be ready for my Monday.  So we went over to my daughter’s house so I could give out candy for her while she took Tuff trick or treating.  Well it didn’t quite work that way since there were no trick or treaters!! So we all took off to go to the middle of our little town where everyone who is everyone goes to trick or treat.  This is sorta like our main street but it’s called College Street.  They block off the road on each end and you have to find parking which isn’t too hard, and then you take off with your kiddos and walk.  The street is not very long at all and it’s so nice because there is not traffic to worry about.  You see everybody you know and everybody is stopping to talk and admire all the costumes.  So I am really glad we went and I am hoping we can make this a tradition for the little ones. 

 

The cousins…Tuff is in love with Ada

 

Ada was a sweet little Fairy

and Tuff was a scary Scarecrow

Tuff and Ada loved loved loved all the excitement and Tuff caught on real quick like what his candy bucket was used for and he just went up every sidewalk and got his candy and just kept on walking.  I was surprised since he doesn’t like to much chaos where strangers are involved.  Ada was just amazed at all the people and she loved being outside at night.  I don’t think she really knew exactly why we were out there but she was all into it.

My Harrison was not able to make it to go with us since his daddy’s work had a Fall Carnival and that’s where he was so no pictures yet of him in his sock monkey costume.

Both boys have been sick.  Harrison has bronchitis and Tuff has a severe sinus infection and Ada had tubes put in her ears yesterday.  Boy the sickness is starting early this year.  I don’t remember my kids getting sick so much when they were little and my Mom said that we were never sick.  It must be something in the air now days.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Pumpkin Patch Sneak Peak

Today we all headed out to a pumpkin patch in our area.  All except hubby, he had to work of course.  So Tuff was quit the grumpy little boy since he didn’t get his morning nap.  He finally started getting a little happier when we ready to leave.  Harrison was just a busy little man and I couldn’t get him to stop long enough to get a good picture.  And Ada was chillin along for the ride. 

We had a good time even though it was only suppose to be 80 degrees today it was a little warm in the non-shaded areas.

This is Harrison, Jayce and Tuff riding around in the wagon.  That didn’t last too long because they were ready to get out and explore on their own.

April and Ashley did get some more pictures of me with all three grandbabies and some of them by themselves so I will do another post on those.  My camera batteries decided to go dead so this is as far as I got.

The Love Bug Has Hit Our Family

This past Sunday my Mother-in-law married her love, Ray.  She has been “single” for about 5 years now and has been living in the retirement apartments in our little town.  She wasn’t looking to find love but it seems God sent it her way out of the blue.  So she kind of kept her new love a secret from us for a month or so and then she finally came clean.  Well, we all really like Ray and he has just brought so much happiness to my mother-in-law.  As you can see in this picture….

So my daughter April, put together a sweet little wedding with the help of Ray’s daughter Missy, and my sister-in-law, Melissa. 

  So after an afternoon of celebrating they took off for a ride in the limo.

Here is a few more pictures of the big day.

 

and this is all of our crazy family…….we were all cracking up at something Ray said!!  We did get a more serious pose but I thought this would be fun to post since this is the way we are most of the time anyway!

So congratulations Mom on a happy life full of love and laughter, you deserve it!!

Finally

There has been a murder suspect on the loose in my hometown, Clay Hill, FL for 5 days now and they finally caught him.  I’m pretty sure from what the news media is saying(if they got it right this time) that he is dead.  There apparently was a shoot off between the suspect and the police.  This has all been happening right within a few miles from my mom and sisters live.  He apparently on Monday, killed his brother and his brothers friend and shot both of his parents who are going to be ok.  This has been crazy.  I hate being so far away from my family when something like this has happened.  Not that I could really do anything to protect them it’s just you never know.  This world is really getting so dangerous!  It’s sad that we can’t feel safe in our own homes.

Boy or Girl?

My baby sister went for her ultrasound this morning.  She has to see a high risk OB in addition to her regular OB because of her age so she was able to find out the sex of the baby a little early.   So is it a boy or girl????? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IT’s A BOY!!!!

They will name him Waylon Beau or Beau Waylon.  They haven’t decided which name will come first yet.   We are all so excited since she has waited so long to have a baby. 

 

And, has anyone ever been to a Tastefully Simple party???? Well, I went to one last night and I LOVED all of their spices, dips, bread and even their few deserts they have.  I will be having a party of my own next month.  I was so impressed with the little out-of-pocket cost and also they provide the kit with all the spices and mixes needed.  We got to sample about 10 different dips, sauces, breads, and even a Carrot Cake Crispy Cheese Ball!! Which was actually really good. It was all very yummy and I look forward to having a party!
