Wedding Day
Oh Boy, it is finally over!!! I must say... I did enjoy most of the preparation for the wedding. As difficult as planning a wedding is.....all in all .....it was a great time. Bart & Casey thought they would get married next April. That was the plan to begin with, but Bart decided he just could not wait to begin this new life with Casey & Kylie. He asked if they had to wait until next April, I thought, well... no you don't....all you need is the photographer, minister and location! It happened to work out for the 5th of September. Heirs Lodge was the location. I am still running on adrenaline! Let's just say that the fireworks were hot at the wedding, so hot we even had a fire!!! More details later!!! So funny & only would happen to us!
Wedding
We are so excited for Bart, Casey & Kylie! But are so busy with this wedding that I feel bad for Kylie! Today we went to chicken filet & I actually took the time to go inside & let her play. She loved it & I am so glad I stopped for a bit & enjoyed just her!
Happy 19th to Cayla
Well, with all the excitement of the wedding, this little one's...(who thinks she is grown LOL) birthday just flew by! No we did not forget, we all gathered at Texas Road House & wished her a Happy 19th Birthday!!! This is our caboose & she is 19....oh my, where did the time go??? Cayla was born August 22, 1990 at 9:35 am. She weighed 7 lbs 13.2 ozs. & was 20 inches long....almost as big as her brother! She arrived via c-section, just as the first two! I remember this being the only pregnancy that I actually had my suitcase with! I was anxious needless to say. We had to arrive after 12:00 that night & then they were kind enough to let us wait another 45 minutes or so before they came & took us up to the room! Then, the fun begins, keep you up all morning, poking you for lab work & taking you blood pressure! I stayed awake through all of my childrens births....I carried the little things for 42 weeks & I was going to be one of the first to see the little ones! Winston came in with me this time for the surgery. (Just to sit by my head & pay attention in case my blood pressure dropped as it did one time before.... it seemed like they were all to busy to notice!) Ha! He & Dr. Smith talked about the Ga bulldogs the whole time & the parking problem at the hospital. I am like...o:k... someone is here having a baby!!! Hello!!! After the doc cut through a couple layers of skin....sorry, I know, I know, it is gross, but...as he was about to cut again, with the laser of course, she popped her head right on up out of my stomach.....& let out a scream. I think she kind of scared the doc!!! He said, did you see that....she is ready to get out of there. He told her to wait just a minute & he would get her out, then he said...she looks like her momma. Winston cut the cord & handed her over to the nurse & then asked us one more time, if we were sure this was to be the last one. We said, yes. He then said...good, because we are lucky we got this one here healthy, your uterus wall is like tissue paper & you would not be able to carry any more. Our family was complete with number three.....Happy Birthday Cayla, hope you had a great day & hope you enjoyed this remembrance of your special day! We Love You!A Memory of my Dad!
A horse track opened down the road from our house. I think it was Green Acres Race Track or something like that...can't remember. Anyway, Daddy being the horse lover that he was enjoyed going & watching the horses race. We went a few times and it was pretty neat. Daddy had a new, probably used, truck he bought. He was always turning off his truck & leaving it in gear. I really believe it could of been from having trucks that shifted on the steering column in his younger years.( I liked to have never learned how to drive these trucks!!) With those types of steering, you left them in gear so they would not roll. Well, one day he rode to the track to either visit with the people who owned the track or catch the next race. Foggy memory, but this is funny! He got out of the truck that was parked on a bit of a hill, left it in gear, prob. with the door open...as usual...and headed over to his destination....he looked back for a second to see his truck rolling....down the hill....I believe he started running trying to catch it...but it rolled into a tree, head on! Now, my Dad was forever laughing at us about not so smart things we would do. I can remember him laughing at us girls & saying you big dummy! What did you do that for? Well, let me tell you, from then on...our come back would be, well....at least we didn't leave the truck in gear & it run into the tree! We all get humbled some time in our life!! We did not have many mistakes on him, so we used this one often!!! We all got a laugh out of visualizing Daddy running after that truck! Love & miss you Dad!
