Kalven’s grandparents day….

This is going to be a little out of order, but it has been so busy and with computer problems I have photos all over the place.. I will start with Kals grandparents day because I have the photos right out of the camera. 

What a fun time we had… Kal’s school in such a pretty spot.. and a lovely drive to get there.. but I thought better of showing pictures and putting the name on the internet.
They had a nice lunch out side and it was sunny and warm.. we also had home made ice cream.  We played (the kids) and enjoyed chatting, then they had to get back to business as usual.
I headed back to town and checked a few stores out and then when 3pm hit I went and picked up Kalven and had a wonderful conversation with him.. He is such a funny kid.. he has a funny personality like his dad.. really both the boys do.  Thank you Kalven for a great day!
Ok… I have to go and get ready before hubby gets home.. he wants to go buy some fencing and get the fence done for the puppies.. no this is not a huge project, it is a small do it yourself fence I will show photos later.

Still in Kennewick… Storms a brewin…

I will really be home soon… it has been so busy with visits and Graduation. The night before Graduation..this is what it looked like not a great pictures but look close and you can see the sand and wind… I remember what I didn't enjoy about living here.

The sand was blowing so hard it was getting under my contacts. Things were blowing all over the places… We were shopping and carts were flying everywhere in the parking lot.

Graduation..

It was busy and fun… My sister had a Dessert get together after for family and friends. Oh my gosh it was sugar overload... but they had a great time.  She had a chocolate fountain with Strawberries , marshmallows, cookies, pretzels, funnel sticks, bananas you name it and it was dipped in chocolate..  Also served was punch, coffee and cheese cake. 

It is so hard to believe that my niece is going to be 18 years old. After they were all sugared up.. lol.. (poor teachers).. the kids took off for their senior party.

Here are a couple pictures I was able to grab.

   We are so proud of you Eleasha, I know your dad and grandma were there beaming with pride and joy.

This is what they thought of the whole day…

It was a great day.

Hey I am back....

I am sorry I have not gotten back to everyone... It has been a bit busy here and I have been gone a lot with personal things to take care of. Praise GOD things have settled down with those things. I promise I will email when I get a chance I am trying to get my house in order. I have over 400 emails and I am slowly going through them as I clean house from company and being out of town. I do want to thank you all for the prayers they worked. I cant discuss online how things went but I am glad that it is over. My daughter is doing so much better. More later... Hugs Joy

Bug met his little sister to be..

He did really well with her.. I decided that if there was a bad reaction that I was not going to bring her home, she will be ready to come home in two weeks. Be sure to click on photo to see all of them.

So much to blog about....

but no time.. I will be back, I just wanted to thank you all for praying for Stellan and let you know that he is home and doing well. Have a lovely week.

Please pray for Stellan…

He is going into surgery this morning.. This is what his momma would love for you to pray for..

Would you pray that Dr. A will have wisdom as to if he should move forward with the ablation after the esophageal study? If he does move forward, would you pray that he will have clarity of mind as far as how aggressive to be with the ablation in order to fix Stellan's problem without putting him at undue risk for complications. Would you pray that the tiny catheters the doctors use will not nick Stellan's coronary artery? Would you pray for peace for me and my husband? Would you pray that heart block will not occur during the surgery? Would you pray that the extra pathways Stellan has will be located and successfully destroyed? Will you pray that, if they need to go through his septum, that it will heal as it should? Would you pray that in the days after the surgery (In infants, coronary damage sometimes doesn't appear for up to three days, so we'll be here for the rest of the week at least it looks.) we will cling to Jesus and not to fear?

Home from Las Vegas…

I am taking today to veg,,, I am beat , more and pictures tomorrow.  Always nice to be home.  :)
UPDATE!!!  darn… I am sorry… no update yet.. I am so sick with a headache and sore throat… this was Bug and I all day, he laid on my lap… blah!  Poor Robert he was sick the whole time I was gone.. I hope mine doesn't last that long. 

Sunshine...

 

 

Beautiful day by the sea…

I  had to run around and get things done today, and it was so beautiful.  It is suppose to rain in the morning when I take off for Las Vegas… Please say a prayer for me I am getting nervous , I am so wanting to get over the fear of flying. I haven't flown in 15 years.  Have a great weekend and a blessed Easter  Celebration.

How cool is this….

I just went by Amanda and Kevin's blog and downloaded her background she did… I am so excited when I return from LV I am going to give it a try myself.  Go and check out their awesome blog!

ok.. so I played some more I have to stop… lol things to do. Thank you so much Amanda. 

She is going to be a member of our family…

Her name is Elli… she will be joining us when she is old enough.. Elli is only a couple of days old.  Is she not sooooo cute.  She is a little Chihuahua a little sister for Bug.

The Oregon Coast has seen sunshine…

It has been so beautiful here for the past week.. we are heading back into rain… but the week of sun is going to make it bearable.

I have loved driving around with my sun roof open and the wind blowing threw the car. I hope everyone has gotten a little bit of sunshine in their week.

Rain Rain Go Away...

I really have had enough of the rain and hail, rain and hail, wind and rain, enough alreay... *grin* I hope you are having a wonderful week.

Check out this cute t-shirt site.....

I was looking on Pioneer Womans site and was checking out the blogs of her guests that she had at her home.. and found one of them started this t-shirt company... I just love them.. check it out.. the link is to the left of this post.
Have a great day. What a fabulous sunny day we had today.... wooohooo

I have heard that if you don't like the weather…

At the beach … wait a few minutes  it will change… and it sure did this weekend… we had rain… we had huge hail… we had snow… we had grey sky… and we had beautiful sunshine. Here is a picture of the hail.. I didn't get one of the snow.. that was about 3am and I didn't feel like going out and taking a picture.

We finalized our trip to Las Vegas.. so my friends… please pray for my sister and I we are terrified of flying. My sister has never flown in her life. and in my fifty something *grin* years I have only flown 4 times.  We are excited and nervous at the same time.

There is five of us going.. my sister, her best friend.. our cousin .. and our sister in law.

We haven't firmed up anything yet.. as to what we are going to do.. I know my cousin and I want to sneak off for 2 hours and go to a quilt shop that is suppose to be awesome.

I would like to get tickets to see O, Cirque du Soleil's exquisite aquatic performance.

We are going for my sisters 50th BD. She really wants to go on a gondola ride at the Venetian Hotel also.

I should get a little rest as I am volunteering at the hospital today.

Have a great day

Happy Birthday Brother!

I love you !

I haven't posted in such a long time.. I really have not been into it much since mom passed. I am feeling like I would like to start again.. so I started out to do that tonight when I decided to change the look of my blog from Christmas. It is amazing how much time that can take.

Just a couple quick things since I am so tired.. Robert and I spent the afternoon working on cleaning and organizing the garage again.. it felt so very good to purge again. We are trying to get ready to set up my office/sewing/craft room. Sunday or Monday we will go to Ikea for a desk that I found there, they have a sale going on that goes through Monday.

Also we had the pleasure of babysitting the cutest little girl.. Robert called and told me that a little girl needed to be taken care of until Monday or Tuesday and he said we could if I wanted to.. here is a couple of photos of her.. Bug loved her and they are having a wonderful time playing nonstop. She looks very small next to him in the photo but it is just the angle. They are about the same size but he has more width *grin*




Her name is Chula and she is the cutest and the most lovey girl. I wish that we could keep her. I know that Bug will cry when she leaves.

Oh and one other thing.. I finally took my Christmas tree down today also.. wow.. that was a chore but I enjoyed it. All of the ornaments were wired on... because remember I bought it at the Festival Of Trees and they have to make sure that everything is secured on the tree so that when it is delivered nothing falls off. I was able to get it all boxed up and ready for storage wooo hooo.

oh and one more one more thing... My mom's Birthday is next Sunday so my sister thought she would come down and spend the weekend with me. I am really looking forward to her being here.

Have a great day...

Happy Happy Joy Joy... I5 has opened and I can go home tomorrow.. I am tired and need my bed. :)

I am glad the rain has stopped.. I don't mind when I am at home.. but being gone and being trapped.. I don't like that feeling.

Merry Christmas to all.... and to all a good night...
