Kylie and I were looking at some old pictures on my computer. She saw this one and asked me, “what's moma doing in this picture, is she dressed up in a costume for something?” LOL---NO, it was Easter!!! Tooooo funny!!! Through the eyes of a child and right out of the mouth!
Note: It is taking both of them to keep this little wiggle worm from escaping!!! The O (circle) of life, it just keeps on running. Love my kiddo’s!
I kept the boys and a puppy again today and oh boy was it a wild day!!! I know that I am re-living my Mothers life.
I remember her keeping Macie and Ally and them getting a puppy. I remember her telling me that one minute Macie was after the puppy and the next minute the puppy was after her! And that is exactly what I was doing yesterday!!! I finally put the dog in the bathroom!!!
Bentley was rather ill, who could blame him after three shots. He is also very stuffy, poor thing…and he will still look up at you and smile. He loves to eat!!! He also found his fists today! And he napped in his crib!!! I can just eat him up and I so see his Mom when I look at him!
Cayden was just in to every thing! At one point he was by me on the couch, I'm feeding Bentley when he decided he would play with the blind. I told him, no-don’t play with that…he just looked at me and kept on….I told him again, same scenario with a cute little smile (little Cayla)! I tapped him a little on the leg….no change. I told him that if he did not mind me then he could stand in the corner or go to his room ( his Mom puts him in the corner and he stands there, funniest thing ever)! He then cut his eyes to farthest part of his eye, looked at me and pointed and said something I did not understand. Then, proceeded to climb back on the couch, sit down beside me for his time out. In a minute or two he reached over and loved me for his I’m sorry!!! Heart melt!!!
When I got ready to go home, he stood beside me and was waving bye to his Mom…lol! She said, oh no, I have not seen you all day and your not going bye-bye!!!
A great day, but these babies are for young peeps!!!
Cayla started a temporary job today. And this sweet little baby had a drs appt. Hmm! Oh well, when you have no choice you just roll with it. I got Great-Gma to come over to Cayla’s and watch him for me. Bent and I took off and got their so we could wait for a long time! He was so good, bright eyed and cooing!
We got back and he weighed in at 11 pounds. His head was 15.75 and his height was around 26….I think! The poor thing is so stuffy and it looks like he is going to have allergies too! The Dr. said you could tell by the dark circles under his eyes! I laughed and said, “I have no idea where he gets those from.” The doctor looked at me, looked down and laughed and said, neither do I!!! I told him they had been passed down through generations…from the McGhee side of the family, (that would be my Dad’s, Mothers side of the family)…and that I sure did hate to pass that along, but it seems there is no stopping it. He laughed and said…well you could pass worse along, and them I thought of my eye that I have ambliopa in and cringed!!! I did not tell about that today…maybe the next visit!!! You know he thinks I am crazy….I agree!!!
Three shots later and a rx and we are headed home….poor baby!!! And I bet he will be irritable tomorrow!!!
Thanks G-gma for all the help!!! Your the best!!!
God bless all babysitters, daycares, teachers, and Grandparents over 45 who keep their grands…… they need blessing and energy, and then some!!! LOL!!! But oh how we love those babies!!! It takes a small army!!!
Cayden had to go back for a regular visit. He got three shots, poor baby and he is still sick and running fever! WE are all so ready for him to feel better!!! This was on Tuesday!
WB is very sick too, allergies are awful this year. The pollen count has broken records this year!
On Thursday, Bentley is back at it again also. Running fever….back to the office again!!! I met her and took Cayden and we went to Sams for a few minutes!
Now, Emmett has it again also!!!
People really need to stay home when they are sick to help keep from spreading all of this stuff. And some of what is going on is contagious! But then, what do I know!!!
Yep today is my birthday.
The day I came into the world to terrorize my parents!!! And I did just that…lol!! My older sister, Lynn….she would just sleep and lay in the bed so still! NO, No, No----not this chick! I did not sleep much and was never still and was into everything!!!
It was so bad, that my Daddy told my Mom to take me to the Dr. and tell him that if he could not give me something to help me sleep…then to give them something!!! Something had to give!!!
I think there we times I would just wake up in the middle of the night and play, when I was a toddler. Poor Dad and Mom, bet they wish they had only had one..heehee!!! I is so so sorry and if you could, please remember that medicine, I could sure try some of it now, cause that lack of sleep stuff, it done come back to haunt me again!!!
Life is funny like that…it is that circle thing….it just keeps coming around and around and around!!!
Sometimes, I think peeps that decide not to have any children or just one---they smart!!! But then there are those of us who decide to multiply and we have many happy and sad times…and are rewarded with those things called Grands!!! And that is the funniest, because that circle thing---it catches up!!!
I have done got plum silly!!!Bahaha!!!
WB asked me what I wanted for my birthday. Hmmm…..a new lens for my camera, I think! It took a while before I decided what I wanted to get! I read and pondered, pondered and read. Then, I decided it was time!
And these are what I decided on!!!
I really thought I would get another 50 mm(move money). But then, I had wanted a macro for several years so I decided to go with this 50 and the macro. I am enjoying both of them and am still getting use to working with them!
Thank you to the best hubby in the world! You are more than I ever deserve!!!
I also got a bird feeder and bird food from Cole and Josie. And money from Jenny, Martha and EB! A precious card from Cayla and family, hugs from so many! Thanks to each of you for remembering me on this day!
Funny thing….I had posted part of this before I ever got my lens, I had it posted on the wrong day…..old age???
My niece got baptized tonight and I am so proud of her….love you Macie, sister!!!
After meeting the Hughes and dropping off the boys, I needed to go and see my sweet Katie get married. Well, as I am driving back from the Interstate----I can barely stay awake, and believe me…me staying awake is not a problem, falling asleep-yes. I knew I was in trouble and asked the Lord to help me make it home safely.
I did and about 12:00 I ate a little lunch and told WB that I was going to get on the couch and watch a little t.v.----not, I woke up at 2:00! I was so sad that I had missed the wedding because I love all of them so much! But, I also know when I have reached my limit and I had. The lack of sleep was overwhelming and I hate I missed it!!! But Katie knows I love her and she will understand, and guess what….they are still married, even if all of us did not get to go!!! Love you guys!!!
Want to see the pictures some time!!!
Well, Cayla and Ryan are going on a little vacation with some friends. I am keeping the boys part of the time and Susie part of the time.
Cayla brought them over late Wednesday night, I told her Thursday morning…lol! But who can pack with these two, right??? LOL!!! Oh well! It was around one before Cayden went to sleep, he knew something was up! I put him in the pack-n-play and Bentley in the bed with me and WB.
Thursday we had a pretty good day. We even rode on the golf cart for a little bit. I got Papa to make a seat belt for Bentley’s car seat!!!
Then Friday came and Bentley was not a very happy baby!!! Nor was Cayden!!!
They did go to bed earlier tonight, around ten. At one or so, I kept hearing Cayden toss and turn and his breathing just did not sound right. I went up stairs and checked on him----running a fever, not good!!! I gave him some Tylenol and we went to the couch. I really did not sleep much from that point on. I talked to Cayla and she is calling them to see what the dr wants to do. Now bear in mind we were just in their office on Monday with him…..and a week or two before that with both of them! He is on an antibiotic, soooo---I figured that they would probably just change that to something else, nooooo! They call us back at 11:00, I am 25 to 30 minutes away, and what do they say-----you need to bring him on in, really??? Me and two babies, are you kidding me???
Ok we are in the car and on the way----I know it is Friday and they close at 12:00. I talked to Cayla and told her to call them back and tell them that they had better not lock me out of that office or I will be really upset!!!!! She called them back and the receptionist tells her that they are closing early today, I guess they failed to tell the nurse??? I turned around and went back to the house, so glad we called. This happened once before at the same office, how they get voted best in Val. I will never know---except the must have a trillion patients!
I am trying to decide how I will take both of them to Youth Care??? Hmmm---hello Casey!!! I need help!!! Thank goodness!!! Laura said she would keep Isabella and then Kylie wanted to stay there also. So Casey stayed and I took Cayden on.
We waited and waited and waited. Guess who is on call??? Dr. Anderson! I love him as a person, nice man…..but, enough said! I am thinking at this point. He is not going to give us anything, we have sat here all this time and he is just going to say…Well, it just needs to run its course, etc!!! Well, what do ya know? I was wrong! He asked if he had ever been diagnosed with Asthma?
No, but they did give him breathing treatments! Get back on those and he gave us a RX for some more meds! He is a sick little man.
On the way to the car, he decides to press the button on my keys. Yep, it was the panic button! No one came…lol!!! I finally got him in his seat, and cranked up the car. OK, all is well! But then, my car is acting crazy…it does not want to go and a few lights are blinking! What next I am thinking. I called WB and told him, he is telling me this and that----and to turn it off and let it reset. I did and it was just fine. I am assuming that it is a safety feature in case someone is stealing your car!!! Oh my!!!!
On to the pharmacy! It was around ten when we got home!! I am exhausted!!! Bless Casey’s heart, her and Bart were life savers!!! She went and got her girls, brought her cradle swing and the whole family came and stayed with us Friday night! She stayed up with Bentley and Isabella (Miss Night Owl) so I could get some rest!!!
Bart slept up stairs, Papa and Kylie in our bed, Cayden and I in another room and Casey, Isabella on the couch and Bentley in the swing!!! A house full!!! It thundered and stormed early in the AM. Cayden and I did not hear one bit of it!!!
Now, Casey is exhausted! Oh boy!!!
I am taking the boys to their other grandparents for tonight and tomorrow. Susie keeps another Grand during the week and we did not want her to have three at one time!!!
I sure hope Cayla and Ryan enjoyed their vacation!!! I know why you can’t get anything accomplished…..my memory was jarred and the flashbacks came!!! LOL! Mine were 19 months apart, thanks for reminding me!!!
I love my family and appreciate their love for each other!!!
Now I need a vaca!!!
Happy Birthday to Kylie!!! Since she received some money for her birthday and has always wanted to go to Build a Bear…her Mom decided this was the time!!! She was so excited!!!
We also needed a little orange to wear and we made a quick stop for that!!!
Then off to the game! Buffy left this morning to get back home for work and school! We will miss them today!
Half time entertainment! Awesome!
Game Entertainment!
Scary! She did try and get up, but just could not. She had a concussion. They finally let her Mom go out to her, thank goodness! She did travel home with the team on Sunday.
Time to re-group!
Tennessee Won!
Celebrate!
Kylie really enjoyed this and thanked me several times! The funniest thing was when she yelled down to me….MamaJ, we need to get some caffeine down here, we all about to fall asleep!
Like she is not active enough!!! The people behind us, just about rolled out of their seats laughing!!!
Arrived at the Arena, we have good seats and we have food!!! We’re good!!!
Cotton Candy? Yes! Soft drinks? Yes! Ice cream? Yes! Funnel Cake? Yes!
Did we come to eat or watch a ball game? Katie was taking in everything----she could not figure out the cheerleader situation!
Game One-----LSU vs Kentucky
Game Two-Tennessee vs South Carolina
An Awesome Coach!
We never know when our lives will change in the blink of an eye.
Half-Time Performance----USA Jump Rope All Star Team! The girls enjoyed this!
Lady Vols Win!
The S. Carolina Gamecock said”I Got my eye on you”…too funny!
After Kylie’s party 2 cars full of family headed out to Nashville Tennessee. We are planning on trying to drive all night, but due to bad weather will probably have to cut the trip in half!
We stopped in Tifton and got Zaxby’s. Then stopped in Perry for potty break and allergy med for Kylie…lol we may not make it to Macon!!!
Some family members (not in our cars---lol) are having fits because of the weather and are scared we may get tired and not have enough smarts to stop! I guess that is a good way to explain it!
Well, I tell ya----I may not be the brightest bulb on the tree---but I am not completely in the dark! LOL! We were in touch with family members on the phone and with cell phone tech. were able to see the radar!
When we got to the south side of Atlanta, both of my ears popped and I knew there was a difference in the barometric pressure. So, more chats on the phone with Todd our weather guide from the North! Casey pulled up the radar and we all decided we could make it to the North side of Atlanta. And guess what, we did! No rain or anything until we stopped and then it rained! I watched the weather until about one then off to sleep.
Day 2
Saturday, we hit the road about nine. As we are approaching Chattanooga TN, I saw a sign that said I-24 was closed-North and South bound lanes. I was like, did I read that right? Then a sign told a radio station to tune in to and listen….yep, I saw it correctly. We hit detour on the GPS and took that exit. We talked to some locals and power lines were down across both lanes because of the wind last night. Hmmm! We decided to get back on and go down a couple of exits and then detour. Good choice!
We meandered our way with everyone else through downtown and came out on the other side and got around much of the traffic.
We stopped once more to eat, etc. On to Paul and Lynn’s house! We rested about an hour, then on to the gym!
It is hard to believe that our Kylie is six years old. Oh how the years have flown!
We celebrated her birthday on Friday, March 2nd at Jumping Jacks! A great place to have a party! Everyone had lots of fun.
One happy six year old! She wanted a Tangled Party. So, her Mom & Dad did just that!
Family and Friends
Fun!!!
Time for cake!
Present Time!
