Happy Birthday Zylen!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET LITTLE GRANDSON! JOJO LOVES YOU OH, SO MUCH!

Messy Boy

So Morgan and I went to see Zylen this weekend! She took her new camera and took 458 pictures of him. He's learning so many new things so fast! I handed him a spoon when I was feeding him his dinner Saturday night and he started feeding himself, doing a very nice (although very messy) job of it. Rather smart, I think! Notice he preferred the left hand....like his daddy and Aunt Lucy! Tomorrow is his 1st birthday!

Happy Valentine's Day!

February 24, 2008 began a year of "firsts" for our family. The first grandchild was born! Today is his first Valentine's Day, and he is such a little sweetheart! The first birthday is just days away now - I can't believe it's been a year, and I know this next one will be just as much fun as he turns two! Happy Valentine's Day!

Mission Accomplished!

When I bought my house in May, 2007, it had WALLPAPER and PANELING throughout, along with gold shag carpet from the '70s. The carpet came out immediately and was replaced with wood laminate & new carpet. Before we moved in, we got every room painted except the kitchen. You know how it is - just get moved in & we'll finish that room later. Well, later finally came....with Maegan's help! She rounded up a couple of guy friends and this weekend my kitchen was finally painted. It's a beautiful gold color and I'm accenting everything in red. I'm going to get red seat cushions, etc. and small appliances are red...toaster, can opener, and so on. The blue shades must go soon, but I don't know what I want to do with the bay window. Any suggestions? I'm NOT creative! Anyway, I love my kitchen now! That wallpaper was really ugly! Thank you, Maegan, for taking charge & getting this done for me! I love you!

She did it again....

I truly don't mean to be such a bragging mom, but my goodness, I can't help but let the world know that once again Morgan attended a UIL meet Saturday and once again she brought home the "gold!" First place in feature writing, first place in spelling, and third place in current events. Oh, did I mention that she wasn't even signed up for current events and hadn't studied for that at all? The teacher just put her in there because she had one absent. The two first places she took were the only two she was actually signed up for. Yep, I'm proud! Just hope she does that when the district meet roles around in March!

Sunrise

What a beautiful...and somewhat odd... sunrise! Just wanted to share it!

Peaceful slumber.....less.....night

It was kind of LOUD at my house last night! Yes, 16 - 17 year old girls DO still have slumber parties....and the slumbering part didn't start until about 3:30 a.m. Luckily, I had the new John Grisham release to keep me company, and I read the entire book last night while Morgan & company laughed hysterically over I don't know what! Anyway, they had a great time - I'm glad she has such sweet friends. They're a great little group.
