A Christmas Wish....

here is the last block I have done for Gail Pan's A Christmas wish. I just love these blocks. so easy to do and FAST!!!!! she has another just listed - the link is on the left hand side of my blog under BOM. With watching Gunner this week, I haven't done any sewing. He is such a curious little guy, that well, we don't want to go there and have something happen! I have just been doing some embroidery for a minute at a time, here and there. when he leaves in the early evening, well, Grandma is too pooped to do anything else! Good news though, Bruce comes home tonight! This time was Palestine, TX. Hope he doesn't have to do much traveling for a while....

1st day of school......

Andrew's first day of kindergarten was yesterday! He was soooo excited. when I picked him up after school, he told me of all the fun games he played! He wanted to go back again. today when I took him to school we walked up to the teacher, and she told him to leave his backpack and he could go and play on the playground. he looked at me, I said yes, he dropped his bag and off he ran! He didn't look back to wave or anything! LOL! I had Gunner in my arms and he wanted to run after big brother! I am so glad that Andrew is so excited about school. I can't wait to hear more of his adventures.....

Gunner man.......

Melissa and Glen's little guy - Gunner man turn two! I can hardly believe it. he is getting sooo big. He is talking up a storm. however he still doesn't say Grandma!! I have always said to him GRRRRRRRRRRRandma. he laughs and says MRRRRRRRma, ma, ma! or if he is talking to me, it's ma, ma, ma. if he wants his mother, it's mommy. Gunner LOVES music. this week I am watching him and when I turn on the wiggles, he starts to laugh and dance! when I was having children, I would pray that someday I would have a blond blue eyed child (we are all brunettes and brown eyes) or a red headed child. well, Ashton is my blue eyed blond. Melissa has deep dark auburn hair and brown eyes. everyone else is brown hair, brown eyes! I waited 35 years to get my red headed child - Gunner!!! Grrrrrranma loves you sweetie!!

Lee's birthday

Mercy, so much has been going on! busy, busy, busy! this past weekend it was my oldest son's birthday - he turned 37! I can't believe I have a child almost 40 years old. Oh my goodness.....he was always such a loving sweet little guy. full of hugs and kisses for his mom. He is a caregiver. he might not look like it on the outside - which is Mr. Tough man, but he is a sweetie, and I am so proud of him. whenever my hubby goes out of town, he is the first one to call and make sure everything is OK here. Love ya Lee! oh, BTW everyone, he is single! he has a good job, a beautiful 3 year old, Zoe, and owns his own home! I will pass on any applications.... LOL!!!

Happy Birthday sweetie.....

more pics about getaway

On Thursday night we went over to my brother's home. This is my brother Dean and his wife Kris. I could have stayed on their back porch forever. It was so cool, lots of little birds. They have little wiener dogs. very cute! I forgot to take their pics.... This is my parents - Larry and Gwen. They always look so good together!

Lee and I. Just before I left to go home.....

These handsome boys are Dean and Kris's sons. Jeff and Bric. They have one older - Bobby, he lives in the valley.

Vacation getaway!

I just spent the week in Pinetop/Lakeside, AZ. Oh I did not want to come home at all! the weather was perfect. the coldest was in the lower 50's. I slept under 3 quilts!!!! the highest it got was in the lower 80's. Mercy did it feel good! this is Zoe and Buffy. they became great friends while she was up there! Maybe it was all the treats she gave him and Bogey! This is the boys- as my mother says, my brothers! Buffy and Bogey. there was a squirrel they heard. I know they were trying to protect us!

Here is the little squirrel. Dad put peanuts out and he just wasn't sure about it! he would take one and run up the tree to eat it!

Mom and Dad have 3 hummingbird feeders. He has to fill them up every day. Dad is trying to get the hummers to land on his finger. they are close to doing it!

Before Zoe and I went to Pinetop, we stopped in Payson to see my Aunt Gloria and Harriet. they took us out for some wonderful Mexican food.

More about the trip in the next installment!

enjoy...
