Spring - Oh How I LOVE Spring!!!

I can barely stand to stay in the house in the spring......things I have already done this spring:
Planted okra (should have waited - too cold); 3 tomatoes plants (too cold - I should have waited); prob 50 bulbs (that haven't surfaced yet) cross your fingers; 2 jalapeno plants; 5 more tomato plants; black eyed peas; squash; radishes; 5 pkg of all different flower seed in one spot (none have surfaced yet)? Iris's from my sister (they are doing well); moonlight flower (doing well); transplanted 2 lantanas (doing well) ; 2 roses (already have blooms) (thanks fam); transplanted two tree roses (cross your fingers on these - they look really sick); 12 hanging baskets (shouldn't have gotten the clearance ones - they did not survive the 3 days babysitting); but the hanging baskets still looking good! Okay so much for the dirty finger nails - on the other 1/2 of my life the grand kids are totally awesome!!!! Jack picked the cutest name for duceette (Fancy) - I asked him why that name and he said she would prob be really fancy!! - is that cute or what......Molly can hardly wait for ducette to get here - she loves babies so much - she always asks me how Max and the baby in Aunt Nicol es belly are doing! And...little Max....he is such a blessing - he surprises me at how athletic he is - he is kicking the soccer ball while running and tries so hard to stop it by placing his foot on top of the ball - I'm sure I couldn't even do that!!!
He is crazy for buses and firetruck and planes!!! He can see and hear so well that it is really freeeky!!!! Oh well so much for today!!! Love you all!

It's about Time.....Nannie

So after reading Sid's blog - I realize I haven't blogged in a really long time too.....Where to start...Let's do Easter!!! I thought that this was the best year ever!!! (w/exception of Sid & Matt not being here) I thought everything went really smooth - games, food and cousins, friends, family!!!! I was so much fun to have "Little" Myka here - I really could have set and held her all day long. And.....didn't Sean do great with Lisa!! Lisa is a sweetheart and will fit in with the family so well. Good Job Sean! The only thing is that I wished it could last for 3 or 4 days!!! Maybe sometime in the future.....we'll do a family reunion!!! AND WHAT would I have done IF Betty Sue had not been here!!! She is my strength....I only wish we lived closer...

Next.....Jodi......I am so proud of her - to graduate w/distintions! Where does that girl get her brains? Seriously - must be from her mother. Imagine - two kids under 5, teaching classes, and grad w/distention's. That's our girl!!!

Next....my Chicken coop.....I am so excited I just can't stand it - I can hardly wait to get all the Easter stuff put away and get to working on the coop!!! I have such great ideals for it!!! I'll take pic's. I can hardly wait until Jack, Molly and Max can help me feed and gather eggs!!! Oh lucky am I to be able to give this opportunity!!!!

Next....our weekend in OK.....It really was a great time, IF my house had of been cleaner - I could have stayed forever.....Betty Sue and Jimmy have it looking so beautiful!!! For some reason their love of their homes, makes you love their home too!!! I could sit on her back porch forever and listen to the chickens, guineas, peacocks, dogs, cows everything!!!! Maybe we can have July 4Th there!!!! We are making plans so everyone stay tuned and leave your calendars blank!!!!

Well, so much for the past - I'll update later about Max's firetruck experience!!! you will love it!!!! I love you all.....Nannie

Oklahoma is Okay!

Well, this past weekend we left the state and finally went to see my sister, Betty Sue and Jimmy, and enjoyed the country life. It was cold and windy, but that did not stop us from enjoying the country, flowers, chickens, guineas', dogs, peacocks, roosters, and of course the company!!! Lucky for us Sean didn't have much to do this weekend, so we picked him up from the train. Bobby & Jimmy were able to go fishing while BS and I played, so on Sat night we had the greatest fish fry ever!!!! I do mean ever!!!! Thanks Jimmy and Betty Sue for such a great weekend. Here are a few pic of their GREAT place in Oklahoma!
