I Am joining the Blog Train!

I am going to be joining the Blog Train with my 3S friends! There will be lots of prizes and Fun!

Just thought I would post a picture of the kids when they first saw the babies. Seth and Charli sems to be fasinated with each other and it was so sweet as Jeremy and Gina first met the other's baby!
Jeremy turns 28 next week and leaves for Iraq the 29th! I so hope he spends most of his time in the vehicle and doesn't see a lot of the bad stuff! I keep saying prayers for him! I actually have't talked to him since he went home, I guess he is busy with getting ready....

Gina took Charli took the Dr for her 6 month Check up Monday. She weighs 15'3" and is 27.25" long. Since she was 6'12" when she was born that seems like a big difference! How beautiful she is and people have commented on how she lights up when she sees me!
One of our church members passed away, Papa Howard. I have many fond memories of him and our church will really miss him!
It is finally raining now. We have been under a drought for so long and the rain is so wonderful, I pray it will rain for days! Our temps have been around the 10 degree mark and we appreciate the front that has moved in.
My shoulder is all better, I feel a muscular twinge now and then but that is no big deal, it has been 3 weeks since I hurt it!

Here are pictures from my 30 year reunion, Les and I had fun! I joined the Network, too, to keep up with some of the people I graduated with!

Charli had her 6 month check up today, she weights 15lb. and 3 0z! She is I think, 27" long, she is really growing!

A quick post

I joined my High School Network tonight! It's a cool site that a member started to keep in touch with people we went to school with!

Now Here's Charli....

Charli Sitting

Well here is my beautiful baby sitting up! She started 2 days after she turned 6 months! Shae also waves, says Mama and Baba and Gina swears she has said MeMe a couple of times... I think she is being nice though, LOL!
I went to my 30th High School Reunion this weekend, I will post some pictures this week!
Jeremy ships out August 29 so I hope everyone will pray for his safety!

5 GENERATIONS X 2

THIS IS A PICTURE OF OUR DOUBLE SET OF 5 GENERATIONS! THIS WAS AT GRANDMAMA'S 90TH BIRTHDAY PARTY YESTERDAY.

JEREMY AND JULIE GOT OFF TODAY, THEY ARE IN THE AIR NOW, IT WAS GREAT HAVING THEM THE LAST FEW DAYS, I WAS SAD THAT WE WERE MOVING WHILE THEY VISITED AND I FELL LAST WEDNESDAY, THE 23D, AND DISLOCATED MY SHOULDER, THAT LIMITED HOLDING SETH!

WELL, THAT'S ALL FOR NOW...

Jeremy Made it!

Just sharing a few pictures of the babies as they get to know each other. We are in the process of moving as the kids are visiting so I have been BUSY!

Jeremy's Coming!

So much has been going on lately I don't get around to Blog much! Today I will finally meet my DGS, Seth! They have been trying all week to get here by taking a flight that had space available with no luck so they just borrowed the money and are in flight now.
We are in the process of moving, it has cost so much in gas which is now $4.80 a gallon and up and with the medical bills piling up we just can't keep our mobile home. I am sad, we have lived in Waterloo since 1996 and bought this home when Les burned our other one in a kitchen fire but at the same time I am excited!
Off to post at 3S a few minutes and then back to bed... I have a long day ahead!

Festival of Flowers

This year's Festival was a lot of fun! Les and I went to see The fabulous Expressions with Marijane Wells and the Blue grass night with New Dixie Storm, we also did the entire Garden tours!

I am just late posting, we have been really busy!

Will be moving after living here 12 years, I am excited to get a new start, and Jeremy will be home the week end!

As you can see by the picture Les spent his 50th Birthday in a cast!

I am so blessed to have a job I love!

I go to work each day and play with 6 older toddlers, sometimes I only wish me lap was bigger! This is an age where each day they start saying new words and learning how to do something exciting!

Well, my tests weren't so bad! The echocardiogram was done by a tech named Sandra and she didn't poke the thing under my rib like the Dr did years ago; and Warren was great doing the lung tests, he had a relaxing voice and lest me rest and explained everything! I even learned that the way my fingernails are rounded is a sign of Lung Disease and called CLUBBING, that was fascinating to me!

A new picture of Charli

A new picture of Seth!

Jeremy sent me a couple of photos last week, I am so tickled to see how much the kids favor!

I had a physical Monday and had to have an echo-cardiograph yesterday because my EKG was not so good and today I must take the Dreaded Pulmonary Function tests because my lung disease has increased. Les is going with me because I get so out of breath and weak doing them. I feel good so I am not worried either way but I really have missed keeping Charli because of going to the Dr!

Oh, Les's hand is broke, this time it's his right one and it's not as bad as when he broke his left one sticking it in the ceiling fan... I am so used to him breaking things I just shake my head and wonder what's next! He will be in a brace Tuesday for his 50th birthday!

Two years ago on Father's Day I spent the day watching my Dad struggle to breathe his last breaths so I am in a reflective mood... I am happy for Jeremy though as today is his first Real Father's Day, although he has been Dad to the girls it is different to have his own child!

I used Carla Ware's Cat Crazy to do this page.

Les had to work so his usual Movie with Gina has to be later and I am sad that the women he works with all got off and the men had to work... they were all off on Mother's Day, too. Not quite fair I say!

I Love this picture!

I took this the other day, I set it as my desktop! Went with Gina to the Doctor today, Charli now weighs 12'6" which is reverse of her 6'12" birth weight.

She is in the 25 to 50% on weight but in 75% on height at 25"long!

Went to Muskgrove Mill

Took the kids from church to a place about 30 minutes from home and got to do a lot of fun stuff! We didn't want to leave! here are some photos

Charli's First Cereal

Just a Very Quick post before work! I got to feed Charli yesterday, Gina decided to give her rice cereal and she loved it!
Kit is Cathie Alesia's Sunny Disposition.

I really love being a grandmother! I was so happy to get some new pictures of Seth! I think He favors Charli, I will be so glad to see him this summer! I used kits by my friend Cathy Alesia from Scrapbooker's Playground for these, Seth's is done with Sunny Disposition and Charli's is Rainbow Connection.

It is so amazing to think that Charli turned 3 months old yesterday! She was born on a Sunday, too. Seth will be 3 months Thursday. Yesterday as I held her in church she actually played with a small bear I got her! I love that she is staying awake and playing with me!

At work Rylee and Samantha moved up and Lily and Jackson came into our class, Jackson is related to Les' family son I guess he is a distant cousin. I will miss my babies and thier Mom's!!

Saturday we are taking the kids on a Mystery Tour to a state park and we will hike and take pictures and fish, that will be fun!

Charli is really growing! She is lifting her head even better and now knows she has hands. I am so excited she is staying awake and playing with me more! I really miss sharing these things with Seth!

I spent Saturday morning doing one of my favorite things... yardsales! Got a lot for the $8 I spent! Then I photographed Trent and Debra's wedding, I have got to start scrapping and working on them this week.

I can't believe a month! Time passed so fast! This is my Grandmother with Charli! We are blessed to have 5 generations! I have got to get a picture. We are all the First girls in our family... My Mom, me, Gina and now Charli!

This kit is Bejeweled by Cathie Alesia at Scrapbooker's Playground. I LOVE doing her kits!

I finally cahtted with Jeremy and Julie for a Long time yesterday on HELLO. I enjoyed it, got some pictures from them.
