Ames pushes my sweaters out of my chair, climbs in and yells Roar wanting to see Dino Fun video! He knows how I work my Wacom pen and tries his best to copy me!
A young man was shot and killed in front of the house we lived in on Singletree left in the ditch! I pray his killer will be found!
Bob Dylan got Medal of Honor today.
Duke sent me fundraising letter.

Found these pictures of the furnished apartments Les and I stopped by called The Hamptons, I sure would Love to live here! The kitchen is small but but has a garden tub in but baths and a screened porch. They even provide linens! Have washer and dryer, too!!
Ames is now calling me Meme and giving kisses!

Seth's Birthday!

Today was Seth's Birthday, I am so glad we got to spend it with him while they were here! I hope we can see him more often!
Les still feels very bad and I felt super lazy and Ames and I laid around and played quietly and cuddled and he played with Charli, he can't quite get the hang of keeping her as entertained as I do ;). He went to school for Do-nuts for Dad since Trey can't go, I think he was tickled but felt bad, too, because Ames saw him and cried until he came back to get him. He said Ames almost made himself sick! He had to go with Charli and he should not have let Ames see him, I guess.
I hope he starts feeling much better!
I HAVE GOT to start making some jewelry! I just do not feel like it!

Cathy K's Home Sweet Home

Winter Vacation by Cathy K

I am starting to find my way around the Xara Photo & Graphic Designer and also found a free copy of very basic DIP so am making a couple pages and Les a Facebook Timeline page with Winter Vacation by Cathy K.
Once I get more familar with it it is an awesome program and can do so much!
The calendar stamp is by Lisete Scrap and is free on her blog

Happy Birthday to my sweet Kewpie Doll! He had a nice party

Wow, I can't believe I have not posted this week! It has finally started cooling down and we got a little rain. I made Ames invitation for his birthday next Sunday and have been working on earrings for craft show. Les went to see Eric about his stimulator and he is going to have to make up his mind about having surgery.
Noel is having a boy and Nicholas and Jennifer are going to adopt him, I have not talked to her since she moved to Kentucky. I sent her a message on Facebook but have not heard back.
The invitation is made with an old kit by Peppermint Creative called Party Pants. It is one of my favorite freebie kits ever! Have had it about 4 years now.
The kids are at Tybee Island where Gina is doing hair for a wedding tomorrow.

Went with Gina to take Ames to doctor and he only weighed 21.12! Charli weighs 30 lbs! He sure seems heavier than her! He is taking a few steps at a time and standing a lot.

Trey's Dad Mickey passed away tonight. He had cancer of the bladder that was very aggressive. How sad for Trey who was so close to him! Ames will never remember the man he was named after. I pray Debbie will be OK alone!

I kept Ames yesterday while Gina and Trey had date night taking Charli to movies



Today's Rite Aid haul, Total value $79.57 Wellness savings $20.87 and coupon savings $40.00 I paid $18.70 I am having a ball couponing!

Got a lot of cleaning done today!

Jeff has fallen twice today, he fell out of the bed trying to cover up and hit his head and then his knee twisted and he fell and he just scooted toward the door. He fell 3 times yesterday so that is better! He is not as wobbly today but still is very pitiful! Les and I are wondering about leaving him alone. I had to go to therapy but Jamie stopped by and brought him lunch. She told him he was supposed to stay in bed as much as possible while he is still bleeding. I want to go to church tonight but may not, I hope tomorrow I can get our neighbor or his friend to check on him so we can go to the first Alive After 5 uptown.
My exercise times: 15 on New Step 5 arms, 4 on treadmill. Heart rate is still up on treadmill but not as much as it was.
Ames started clapping today!

Made it to exercise today made it 15 min, New Step, 4 minutes threadmill (which was not too bad because my O2 drops and heart rate jumps on this and did 8 minutes arms. She didn't make me do laps since I was recovering from being sick.
Ames had his check up and the Dr put him on antibiotics for his cough and said he was tall! In the 90%, He weighs almost 18 lbs.
Jeff is still in ICU, they were running another test to see where blood is coming from. Dr Lal feels like it was a seizure like he has had in past.

I tried to post yesterday but photos were not working right but it was a challenging day, to say the least! First the Good things, Ames was 6 months old! I caught this picture of him sitting up March 31 and his tooth cut through March 24 on bottom.
Now the other, I stayed in bed much of the day and read, too weak to do a lot, Les came home at 4:00 to find the motorcycle had fallen over and killed Tye! My furbaby would have been 10 years old in a couple of weeks! THEN my brother had a seizure or something and had to call the ambulance, he will be in the hospital another night. While Les was gone to church I heard someone in the house so I thought it was Jamie bringing Jeff home but must have been Roy getting stuff for him... no dog barking to let me know he was here made me sad. Les will work tonight so will be very quiet around here. Charli hasn't understood yet and Les feels very guilty. Came home last night and buried him at 9:30.
BUT Jeremy is home from training (his home) and he called me yesterday!

Tuesday's service was great, too, glad Sheila was back! Suzan went to ER because she was pushing truck and hurt back, Kathy came to church with us, she really enjoyed it, next is going to be 'I Want for Nothing"

Ames rolled over today, Gina texted me to let me know.
I can't believe the month is over! Poor Jamie is having a colonoscopy on my birthday and is needing a ride home, poor thing, Les goes back to work tomorrow and I will have the babies, I wish I could be more of a help, she has helped us to much with filling out paperwork and stuff to get Les back to work after these 6 weeks!
Getting ready for Homecoming and Preaching Mission next week! Got to think of something to fix for lunch after preaching, I hope we have a full house!

Here is Ames with the soft blur hat I made him, I am planning on getting more colors and making a few since Gina likes hats on him and he is quickly outgrowing what he has.

OK, done well so far, 8 pages today which made a total of 20. Here is one I made for the SBE Scripture Challenge. Kit is Oh Night Divine by Rina Kroes.

Charli went to see the play Dracula with her Mommy, Uncle Ty and Taylor and so today she wanted to draw the picture from the program. She likes to watch scary things just like her Mommy, she calls them silly scary.
She was very good today while I kept them, Ames gave me some nice pictures, smiling.
We took her to see The Men of Distinction uptown. They were very good playing a mix of music from shag to Sinatra. Charli loved it all and had a fun time playing with a little boy.

This is my 650th post! Had a fun day today, Les & I ate lunch with Kathie, Janette Knight, Gina and the kids. We also rekeyed Kathie's house. I started a scarf with some gorgeous yarn I got at Hancock and will be done with it tomorrow.

Cathy K's Naturally Male

Cathy Krenek has 3 beautiful kits in SBE's U Build It so I made a couple of pages playing with it. I love the picture of Les holding Ames. I haven't scrapped much lately since I am making my crafts for the November show but these were fun to do. I have got several calendars to do for Church. I am doing them as a fundraiser for church to help the building fund. Tomorrow I have to go price things for next week's yard sale. I have been very busy lately, LOL!
