Took Charli Up Town to see the fire trucks that were there for safety week. She enjoyed it but was shy about sitting in the truck. I think we will wait a little before we take Al up on his offer to bring her to the station.
She spent the night with us last night because we went to see Shrek and Ironman. She enjoyed Shrek and then took a nap in my lap but woke up to see the end of Ironman which she LOVED! It really hyped her up, LOL!
It was 12:30 when we got home and she sat in my lap while I harvested my Farm on Farmville, (she loves to watch the tractor) and then went ahead of me to go to bed and fell right to sleep. She woke up and whined once but I kissed her and she went right back to sleep but we got up around 8:00 so she didn't sleep as long as she really needed. I am sure when Trey picked her up at 12:30 she took a long nap.
The living room is ready for the furniture tomorrow! I can't wait! It is going to be so cool to have enough seating for my Women's group! Jeff pained my walls while we were at the movie and finished up today and it looks nice and Les shined up our hardwood floors. I have rearranged my Volkswagens and even packed up a few. Since I have over 300 I think I needed to, LOL!

I had to take this! Brings back memories of my kids sleeping! She is so sweet!

I was so proud of myself today, I was just finishing up cleaning the bathroom, I had my oxygen pumping high, the exhaust fan going and a candle burning so the cleaner didn't bother me. I got on my knees and cleaned the floor, toilet,and Ajaxed the tub. Was putting the blench cleaner on a top shelf away from Charli and a can of hairspray fell breaking the candle leaving red wax EVERYWHERE, even on the walls! I had to reclean. Les came in for lunch as I was sweeping up the last of the glass and so he did that for me. By then I was wet-headed from sweating. WHAT A MESS!

We are having a Boy! Gina went to have her ultrasound yesterday and it's a boy, 100%! I am so excited, now they have to decide on a name, they like Jameson and Ames, Trey is the one hard to please on picking! Charli told me on the phone she was having a brother. I know she will be good with him! Due mid October

I can't believe I went a week without posting! I had my treatment Monday but this week I did fine! Not too tired and I am now able to go for hours without the oxygen around the house and even do laundry and other small chores. Been straightening up more because Gina is giving us her LR furniture so we have to make room for it so I have kept busy.
Thursday we went uptown to see Rootdoctor from Columbia and Charli found a new friend. They were adorable! His name is Raines Dorn. They had a wonderful time and I hope they will get to play again. She was broken hearted when we left!
Bobo came over and borrowed a table and got the sewing machine and chair I borrowed years ago, That made more room. I can't wait to get my livingroom arranged!

Had a very nice Mother's Day week end. Last night after the yard sale we had a supper. Charli thought the cake said Charli Elizabeth Grogan and had to try it. She then tried to get kisses and got really silly!
We went to see Mom, Grandmama and Mema and Jeremy called me to let me know he got a different job and will NOT be deployed to Afghanistan! That is a wonderful gift!
Gina gave me a beautiful silver Mom necklace, some fun green socks with aloe infused in them, a picture of Charli in a frame that says "We love you Grandma" and photo boxes. She is a special Treasure!
Cytoxan is tomorrow, this is the forth treatment, I am starting to see a difference.
Weather here is CRAZY! Yesterday at yardsale the winds were horrible and knocked down everything and it was warm. Today was mid 70's and temp at night CHILLY! Tomorrow should be same but Friday temp supposed to be in 90's!

I am so tickled at Charli today! She saw a commercial on a Little Tykes firetruck & said She couldn't have it & she hung her head and got all sad. (She said her Daddy would not buy it) She even went and told her Uncle Jeff and flopped back on his bed and started saying her Daddy wouldn't buy it for her! She can already act!
When she woke up from her nap she sat up and said "I lost my Firetruck!" I was laughing and had to call Gina. Gina said they had went to Wal-Mart and couldn't find it last week end and got Charli a Basketball goal. BUT Charli still had the firetruck on her mind.
When Les and I did an errand she started crying when I went in about the firetruck. Les and I went to Maxway and got her a cheap ride on firetruck. She was so excited she dropped her paci on the floor and forgot about it!
When I called Gina she told Charli they would get her one this week end.

Made a couple of pages last night with That's My Girl by Connie Prince. I have been very slack in making anything for her bragbook lately so I thought since I was so mad at Farmville I would scrap, LOL! I am still trying to get Angel's Wedding done and get ready for my Yard sale Saturday. I am up early because I have to take my MIL to the hospital for a follow up test and I have a slight headache so I am going to soak in the tub and wash my hair and get rid of it. I am going to do the birthday board at work today, too.

This is Charli helping her Pop plant sod the other day. She really had fun doing it! Now the rain watered it and my roses are Gorgeous!I am aggravated that I can't get my farm loaded!

It is so hot I can't sleep so got up a few minutes to drink something so I thought I would post these pictures from Saturday when Les and I took Charli to Emerald farms to pet the goats, She really had a great time!
Trying to get things ready for my yard sale Saturday, I have a lot of stuff to get rid of! I need to make some more earrings and jewelry too, I might do that and let Charli do her paint with water books or play with her beads and pipe cleaners. She likes those and will let me get what U want to done. I just have to hold her a few minutes every little while which is OK by me!

This is just a cute picture I have not posted yet...
Poor Charli's nose is so runny. She stayed in mine or Les' lap and took 2 naps today. I guess her Zyrtec made her groggy. My cold is almost gone, Les is supposed to go to the Dr. tomorrow.
Finally I got my appointment to go to Charleston, June 15. This is on a Tuesday so Gina, Les, Charli and I will go down on Sunday and come back after my visit. I will have to fill up my oxygen at the Lincare there and use the regular tanks to fill in instead of my liquid. The liquid tanks only last 6 to 6 hours and do not keep. I have one I am borrowing to make the trip that last longer but is too heavy to walk with. My big tank that I fill from is not portable at all but I have some small regular tanks and I can do 3 days OK.
I got more cleaning today even though I had Charli all day. A teen from church needed a scrapbook for a project so that was a great excuse to clean out a lot of paper and scraps for her. My yard sale is next week and I am getting rid of a lot of that kind of stuff. I hope I can sell my jewelry, too.

I cleaned my bedroom and moved my stereo so I could play albums for Charli, She LOVED it! Said it went round and round! She helped me make my bed after I washed the sheets and I told her she was a Big Helper and she said "Help Meme For ever and Forever and Forever!" She really made my day! I was very proud I got so much done today. I am starting to feel better but Les is so sick with a cold. Gina was throwing up and Trey had a headache. His Dad will be in the hospital for several days. I am praying they got all the cancer!
I have been playing Les' Farm on Facebook so I could do the Co-ops. They are fun to do. Have gotten him a couple of levels up. I wish he would start playing again!

Beautiful Day

Today's pages are from Cathy K's new kit Beautiful Day, I love the top picture of her running. This is a wonderful kit to work with! Perfect for my Charli pictures, LOL!
Les is sick, his eyes are swollen with a cold, I really feel bad for him and hope he feels better quickly!

This is the new kit from Connie Prince and Bella Gypsy called Duck, Duck, Goose. I had 2 kits to work with today, Connie and Cathy K. Cathy's comes out tomorrow. That means I did 4 pages today...
I am also working on the pictures for Angel's wedding book so I did several pages on that.
Les and I are still having cough attacks! I am on antibiotics so I don't get too bad. My blood work is Monday and Gina goes to the Dr., too. She will be 16 weeks Tuesday so will have the ultrasound in a couple weeks.
Finish up the series on The Five Love Languages tomorrow in Sunday School. They really loved the lessons we did. I am going to do another set of lessons on parenting. I have a book I am reading now.

Here's another picture from Angel's wedding. She was sitting on her Dad's knee ready to do the garter, I got some great shots to scrap I just have not sat and done them yet.
My Mom sold two pairs of earrings for me today! I have a pair sold but she is going by the Zone to pick them up and her schedule is kinda crazy so I pray she can get then this week. .. I need to pay my internet bill, LOL!
Charli will be here in a few minutes so off to watch for her!

I felt really draggy yesterday, my blood pressure was low and I just wanted to lay down. Charli was sitting on the sofa watching a cartoon and I sat beside her and put her in my lap. She said "Thank you for holding me, Meme!" SO SWEET!

I am Really missing my daycare check now! Thank goodness this week Les had a couple of good car repairs to help and I had the wedding Saturday!

I had a fun time taking pictures at the wedding of my friend Angel yesterday! I think you can tell it was Fun!

I stayed in bed late today, my foot hurts when it swells so I stayed off of it. Then I had to get up and do laundry and clean the kitchen because Les didn't last night. I know he will come home for lunch and say "I was gonna' do that!" but I did it. Charli will be here soon and I like to have thing neat before she comes to play.
This is one on Gina's pictures from the Children's Museum of Charli in a VW for Meme.

I am so happy that Gina gives me her card and lets me edit her pictures! I have plenty from Charli's zoo trip to share. Isn't she pretty in that blue?
My Cytoxan IV was almost relaxing today. Between the anti nausea drug they give me and the allergy pill I slept the whole 3 hours after I ate. They always have lunch for me, I love the chicken salad! This time Les left so I could rest well.
Other than that I am making some earrings to sell.

New kit by Cathy K

These are done with Cathy K's part of the U Build It Kit at SBE. Called Floral Symphony it is great for these spring pictures of Charli!

Found a great jewelry making site!
