A Third Grand

On December 20th at 8:53 PM, we were blessed with our first grandson. “Cayden Ryan Hughes” weighing  in at 6 lbs & 5 oz. His height was 20 inches and his head was 13 inches.  He had lots of hair and looks just like his Dad….yep, Mom’s carry them the whole time and they look like their daddy’s…LOL!

Cayla was in labor for 13 hours with this little one, his heart rate dropped several times and had us worried. He liked his home and did not want to leave, and did not until about 8 cm. Just a little stubborn!!! We were all preparing for a c-section, I had three and knew she could handle it, but not the way to go if not necessary!!! All of a sudden, he decided it was time and within a short period of time, he made is arrival! I think we had to wake Daddy up from a little nap for the big event. He laid his head on the side of the bed as Cayla squeezed his hand and I am glad he got a little nap. It was funny…hey, wake up it is time to push!!!  I am very proud of her and Ryan!  And I am so proud we have a healthy grandson!!! God has blessed us once again!

 

I love this picture with Dr. Mosley and Cayden!

 

 

 

Kylie and the Christmas Lights

Kylie, Winston and I are in the truck riding through the big city of Morven  GA. Kylie begins to tell Papa to wook at those wights (the few lights that we have on the power poles. ) Wook at that one Papa, do you see it? And look ober dhere at daht one! The she said, “ I just can’t take….I just want to go to Momma J’s house, get up on top of it and just hang wights every where!!! LOL, it was so stinking cute!!!     So I decided that I would at least have to decorate the front door withe some lights and I did…just for her!!!

Cayden’s Nursery In Progress!

I have been helping Ryan and Cayla get Cayden’s room ready. Painting, moving furniture etc!

We painted and caulked and painted and caulked and it was so very hot!!!  We were so happy when the air got hooked up!!!

No matter how much we caulked and painted the lines in the wall just did not look good! But Grandpa Randy had a good solution and boy were we glad and it made the walls look nice! Woo-hoo for Randy!

Looking Good!

They got the bedding picked out, got it ordered and it is so cute!!! She wanted his name on the wall, but so many of the letters are girlie looking and they did not want that! So I found these chip board letters, she liked them and we cut scrape book paper out to match the bedding---     turned out cute and not girlie! Putting them on the wall was another task….lol…we had to call Grandma Susie over to help us hold them and get them straight! Thank-you Susie!!!

Mom and I found the raccoon and she had his name monogrammed on it, a little something from Great-Nana!

Finishing Touches!

We found a used book case, mirror’s from  Target. Boxes and sign from Hobby Lobby. And a glider for rocking from Great-Grandma and Great Grandpa!

A few more special things from special folks!

A little old, a little new, things that are special from many folks that already love you!!!

Sunday

Today Isabella went to church for the first time, she looked so pretty. Then, we all went to eat at Texas Road House…she never made a peep. We got to load her in the car while Casey takes Kylie top the restroom. Somehow…someone hit the lock button as they backed out of the “front” as she was getting loaded in the back….the car was running and the air on. Now, oh boy….let me just say….it’s a good thing Papa was not there because a window would be missing in that car.   Bart, CJ and I were like who do we need to call. I asked, do the police come for situations like this? They used to have the tools for such! No, don’t think so. CJ called Ace lock and key and I decided to call my (brother) Rocky. I can not tell you how many times he has unlocked my car for me!!!! (Ace lock and key said it would take 20 minutes)….in the mean time Casey comes out. Do what??? Yep, its true…but she is asleep and not crying and it is cranked and the air is on…all though it does not work real well. I told her that Uncle Rocky was on the way!!! When I told Rocky….he said…I will be their in 10 minutes!!!  

We checked under the car, because WB (since living with me) has learned to keep a spare close by! We found that magnet, but no key in it! Oh well, I loaded Kylie up in my car and put a movie in for her….she was good! It took about 10 minutes for Rocky to get it open, but he did….once again!!!

He is simply the best and I love him dearly. He will do anything for anyone, a heart of gold! Yep, I think it is time to cook him a steak…or take him and Robbie out to eat!!!  

And oh, btw (by the way) their car ran hot on the way home!!!

Grandma…btw stands for …..by the way! LOL----means laugh out loud!!! LOL!!!!!!

Basically, an all nighter!

Casey and her family spent the night last night so I could help her with Izzie. Casey was so tired, I told her I would take her for the night if they wanted to stay at our house. Well, the poor thing is just not comfortable. She will relax for 15 to 30 minutes at a time before she starts squirming and then she will burp or toot! She scared me twice last night..she got choked on her milk and sounded like she could not get any air….this is when she is trying to get up the junk from the reflux. All the patting and rubbing on her back does not really help. I even tried to suction her, but there was nothing their. Now, how are you supposed to rest and let her sleep by herself with all this going on??? Not!!! I gave her a bath, she sat in her swing for about 30 minutes. I put her in the pack and play, she stayed there about 30 minutes. I put her in her car seat in our bed…that was not happening, but it was time to feed her again! We rocked for a while. Then, we got on the couch and I propped her on a big pillow and we slept there for a while. At 7:00 I got her Mom up and I went to bed and slept until about 11:45. Kylie came in more than once to try and wake me, Cole and WB were in and out….I got up and slammed the bedroom door at one time…LOL….I did….I could not help it…..sleep deprivation, that is what I will blame it on! And that’s my story and it is the truth!!!

Casey was very thankful and that makes it all worth it. She said that Izzie woke up only once last night….lets hope the zantac is working!!! And the gas drops!!!
