I Am Still a MeMe

Ha! Just thought I would throw that out there! That I am still a MeMe, that is!! I realize that I haven’t really blog about my grandbabies in a while!  It’s not that I don’t have lots to say it just seems like at the end of the day my mind is kind of on overload.

 

Anyway, we have been trucking along each day enjoying all the “new” things with each one.  I will say that Tuff and Harrison are quite the little hams!  Lately we have been doing a lot of dancing to Barney and Blue’s Clue’s!! That’s the new favorite shows as of now.  It’s now the beginnings of the terrible 2’s with them but they haven’t been terrible! Yet!! Harrison and Tuff have really started talking and having little conversations with each other and I wonder if they really understand what the other is saying.  Harrison’s favorite word right now is Barney, No, Mine and hold me!! I love the hold me the best and he has stared giving out what I call “squeezie hugs”.  I ask for a squeezie hug and he will wrap those little arms around my neck and squeeze really hard.  I could just melt.  Tuff favorite thing to me right now is when his mama gets home he will go running to her yelling Maaaama!!! And then he turns to me and says “Bye” and waves.  I love that he loves his mama so much.  His favorite word is No, Blue, the ball, and mama!  If we want Tuff to smile for a picture all we have to do is say “show your teethies” and we get a big smile!!  He has stared saying so many words but mostly he has gotten to where he will repeat a word that we say.  Oh me!

Ms. Ada (I call her Butter Bean) now has an opinion! A big one.  She will let you know really quick if she is upset! She is quite the little drama queen.  But of course she is the only little princess we have so her drama is quite comical to us.  She comes every morning with a big smile on her face and a lot to say!! In baby talk of course.  She is 10 months old now and she can say mama, dada, papa, bye bye, and bubba! She also will give the ole Miss America wave when she says bye bye.  It is just too precious!  She has the biggest personality for a 10 month old.  She hasn’t started crawling yet but the doctor said she would crawl in her own time so I have been enjoying her just the way she is.

So for now Ms. Ada is the only grand princess but we will find out if we will be having another princess or grandson next Friday April the 8th.

Spring Break and A New Nephew

 

We spent last week in Florida with my family for Spring Break! Of course I also got to welcome my new nephew into the family.  We got in on Monday around midday and my sister came home from the hospital that afternoon.  So I didn’t miss too much.  I was sad that I wasn’t there for the actual birth but I didn't have to go through all the hospital visiting.  Me and my mom went over to help get them settled in, get some laundry done and get everything unpacked. And of course I loved on this sweet baby.

Now this is my sweet Great Nephew, Jayden and let me tell you, he is one heavy 10 month old!!! well he will be 10 months on the 3rd.  So sweet and he was making monkey sounds in the pic above!

Beautiful blue eyes!!

We really had a great visit but it definitely wasn’t long enough.  We got there on Monday and left on Friday afternoon. 

Happy 25th Birthday To My Sweet Ashley

Welcome To The World Waylon Beau

 

My baby sister, Stacey and her husband, Jeremy welcomed their baby boy (Beau) into the world today.  Beau weighed 7lbs 14oz and was 21in long and he has a head full of dark hair!!  Beau was welcomed by a room full of fans waiting for his arrival.  Minus me since I live 9 hours away but I will be there this Monday morning just in time for him to come home.  I am so proud of my sister for being so brave.  They had a c-section due to blood pressure issues and all went well.  I can’t wait to get down there and love on him.

This is Beau being rolled down the hall on his way to the nursery.  Welcome to the world sweet Beau!!

I Can’t Believe It!!

I can hardly believe that my baby is 13 years old today!! Wow what a wild ride she has given me.  Mostly the ride has been great but there have definitely been some bumps in the road during these 13 years.  Victoria has been the biggest challenge that God has given me.  If I make it, it will because God has guided me through. 

Time has just flown by and it just blows my mind that she used to be this small….

 

 

and now she has grown into such a great young lady and we are very proud to be her parents.  Bumps in the road and all!! Happy Birthday Victoria, we love you to the moon and back.

Happy Valentine’s Day

We spent some time this morning making some Valentine’s cupcakes and I have to say it wasn’t to bad.  It was a little challenging trying to get all 3 in the picture while preparing the cupcakes and me holding the camera but I think we managed pretty well.  Hope everyone’s day is filled with love on this Valentine’s Day!!
