Trying to find a Teddy Bear

Well, today Mirabelle got a hold of little CP's Teddy Bear and chewed a hole in the ear. She started crying and saying new Teddy, new Teddy. So Tammy told me she got them on Ebay but that was back in 2005. Of course, they don't make that Teddy Bear anymore. So I had to bid on one and won, so hopefully she will like it. Oh brother what a morning.

Art Work

Had to make a special place to show off the Art Work that our little guy, Landen, makes for us. You can tell that he enjoys doing it as much as we enjoy getting it. Just seeing the look of joy on his face when we open these special little gifts up and we can't imagine wanting anything more.

Playing Dress Up

CP hasn't wanted to leave the house all week so yesterday we played dress up and here are some pics of her.

New Frames

Just had to show them off.

A Big Thanks To Wendy

Wendy showed me how to download pics from different places to put on my memory card so I could print pictures on my PictureMate Photo printer so this past Sunday I had a blast getting pictures and printing them and then putting them in my new frames. I am running out of wall space for all these wonderful pictures but I just can't get rid of any of them, I love looking at all of them every day.

THANKS WENDY!

Rick Back To Work

Well Rick got up this morning and headed back to work after his long vacation so CP and I are on our own and will be getting back to our normal schedule. My, how little ones grow up so very fast. It just seems like yesterday when our special little Landen was born and then like yesterday when I started keeping this wonderful 3 month old baby and then IT SURE doesn't seem like almost a year since our beautiful baby granddaughter, Leighton was born. Time just goes too too swift in our lives and it needs to slow down some.

Rick and Wendy took us to this marvelous Hamburger place Saturday and it was just too good to mention. I could only eat a half of one they are so big and the bun it very tasty.

Now I think I have caught up with most of the events that have happened since last year so WELCOME 2009.

New Years

I guess after you get so old bringing in the New Year at 12:01 just isn't the same anymore. I think Rick and I both were asleep well before the New Year came in. Another year is just another year so you get our age and it is like why rush it. Rick watched games all day and I spent the day with my friend Sheila.

Grandchildren

Well the Saturday after Christmas we had a great time taking care of the little ones while Mommy and Daddy went through their old stuff to get rid of some of it for a place to put their new stuff. Landen and Leighton were wonderful and even though I wasn't feeling 100% we had a wonderful time with them and then we all went out to eat at Chili's afterwards because we all were starving. Ricky J. and Wendy had worked up an appetite and so had we all so it was off to eat.

Our Christmas Celebration with Cutie Pie

Well it was time for me to go back to work and Rick was still off so we decided to do our Christmas present celebration with CP on that Monday. It was so much fun being with her and watching her face and hearing the cutest expressions while she opened her gifts.

Catching Up

Well, I am a little behind on my blogging. Have been pretty busy. Christmas was wonderful. We spent Christmas Eve at home just the 3 of us, Rick, Donella and myself. However, I went with Donella to Clyde and Wendy's church for their Christmas Eve service and I was so glad I did. It was a very special service to me and it was so close since their church is at the Savannah Elementary school.

Christmas Day we spent with the Russell's and Munroe's. We had brunch with Landen, Leighton, Ricky J. and Wendy. You can see the pics on Wendy's blog. Can't believe I forgot my camera but with all the gifts to put in the car, it just slipped my mind. It was so much fun watching the little ones open their gifts. I think besides Christmas being Jesus' birthday it is also about the little ones.

After we were through and watched the kids play for a while we came home so they could get some rest and I had to cook the dressing and green bean casserole for later that evening. Then that evening we went and spent it with Linda, Craig and all the Russell Frisco family which we have never done because usually Linda and Craig are in Oklahoma. It was so nice that Linda and Craig opened up their home to all of us. (Also see the pics on Wendy's blog). We had a wonderful time and then we came home for a much needed rest.

Missed seeing my youngest one and his family this year but never heard from them about the plans but I am sure they had a wonderful Christmas with Valerie's family.
