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!

Had a very nice day! Got my new chair, played with the kids, ate Chinese with Mom and Mema and the lady beside us slipped $2 in my hand and said, "God's blessings to you!" that was a blessing, $2 from a total stranger is a treasure from heaven!!

Here are the cards Charli and I have done, she gave the card to her Daddy for his Birthday. We have 2 special birthdays today, Trey turned 26 today and my nephew Cody's is today, too.

Today when Charli woke up from her nap she looked at me with that sweet face and said, "Give me a Hug!" and gave me a big hug. That made my day!

After church Les was called to his Mom's room at the hospital so he is up there now, I am chilly and think I am going on to bed.

What a great birthday! First my kids gave me this wonderful bird house and cupcakes then Gina and Jamie gave me a surprise party at church! Even my best friend Marie came! I really enjoyed the day, if if I did have a mammogram, LOL!

I got this from my Secret sister today, it is my birthday gift. I am so looking forward to my birthday! I told Les I want bird feeders and garden gnomes to put in my yard. Lowe's has awesome feeders, the small ones I have have to be filled so often they stay empty a lot. I have always wanted some gnomes to put in my yard, too, and Big lots has already got them for the spring. After all the time I spend at Farmville I need to do my Real Yard, too!

This picture made Charli laugh! I told her it was 2 Charlis! I think it is adorable!

Today is Seth's birthday! I sent him a card but mailed it late so he may get it tomorrow or Tuesday.

More pages from Charli's Birthday, I had a lot of great pictures to scrap! This kit is called Flutterfree and is one of her 'older' ones I really love it!
Les had to go to the Dr 3 times yesterday, Sports Medicine sent him to an orthopedist so he is now wearing one of those boots on his right foot. I guess I will do most of the driving awhile because I can't stand when he drives with his left foot! At least he had vacation time already today and tomorrow since we are going to the concert!

I just got home from Fatz and having my Birthday dinner with my family, It was very good and I really enjoyed it! I think those rolls are one of my favorite things on the menu! My BIL had his hand bandaged up because he had to have a couple of splinters cut out that were infected, I hope he heals quickly and doesn't have a lot of pain!
At work we had a fun time doing Miss Tammy's Birthday, I enjoyed hearing them sing to me and watching them eat the cupcakes, I will post pictures later.
I am going over to Gina's in the morning and keep Charli so it will probably be a little later when I do my post, I am working on some Word Art I want to post.
Twila, thanks again for the dinner and my gifts!

Yesterday when I got over to see Charli she wanted me to see her new Munno toy! She went to the basket that had it and her guitar and then Gina said, "Go look at her new toy." I asked her was it Munno and she said "yes," I told her Charli had already shown me, LOL! I took this picture of her playing with him while she was watching Yo Gabba Gabba. I just get a kick out of watching her! I'm lucky to work with toddlers and know what to expect as she gets older, the kids at work kept singing Happy Birthday over and over, that was Fun, Friday I will take them some cupcakes and balloons for the weekly party and we will have my 'party' I am looking forward to that!

A second post to share my birthday with you, I got my Director to take this picture of my kids and me went she gave me the gift from work, the tall Angel with the 7 birds, I happen to have 7 kids right now so that worked out great! The cute little shelf sitter is from my Mom and the one on the left has a friendship quote is from my best friend, Leigh Anne. My Mom also gave me a silver angel frame that I will be putting Charli's picture in. Gina gave me an electric blanket, I always complain because Les has so much cover I feel weighted down, Now I can heat up the bed and turn it down while he can keep it high and not be cold! She got me a King size for my queen bed so we will both have plenty of cover, too! What a sweetie she is! Thanks for my clips and bath gel, Twila, I look forward to dinner Friday!
I am finishing up my Hibachi Shrimp I got after church, this is one of my Favorite foods right now so I am going to end this. I surely have had a great day and my inbox is overflowing with emails from scrap friends! I am blessed!
Oh, I got a new watch from Les, he really was good to me this year!
Oh, and don't you think it's cool I have my Birth announcement?

I was so excited to get a couple of cards in the mail yesterday, one made by 'Nette, a family friend and Gina's godmother and a Super special one from Chris Weber! I also got this adorable car Sunday from my good friend Sheila, it even makes a barking sound, I love it! I still have a couple of cards to open in my inbox which I am about to do. Thank you ALL for making my day special!
I do have a long day, though, after work I will go keep Charli and then go to Revival tonight so I won't been home until about 8:30, that's a Long day for a 49 year old, LOL!
Oh, I did my taxes yesterday! I always put that off but decided to go ahead and do them, at least I will get a couple hundred back!

How do you like my new Blog Look? This is a super kit that will be released Sunday at Scrapbook Elements called Thumbody Loves You by Cathy K and it is adorable! I will be making my kids at work Valentines and I will post them for you to see!

This picture is from last week, Snowmen was our theme and Annabelle's Mom brought these pretty snowflake cookies and we watched frosty and made snowflake pictures. Today our theme is Winter and we will be playing dress up with gloves and hats. I will let them match them up, too, that will be fun, I hope.
We really enjoy these Fridays, Next Friday I will be doing Birthday cupcakes so they will sing to me, I will love that!

Here are the pictures from the church book of Gina and Charli and Les and I, I ended up using a picture of Trey, Gina and Charli instead, though, he didn't come to get his picture taken so I just used another one, I do like this one, though, she has her Birthday Girl dress on.
All she did was basically sleep yesterday, we always take a nap and she was sleeping about an hour but this week she has been taking a long nap of a couple of hours. I don't blame her today, it was rainy and just a little cool. Great napping weather. She did get excited when she saw Trey and started playing. She sleeps so hot and her hair gets wet and starts to curl. I am glad of that. Grandmama said she looks like Gina.
I am the spotlighted employee this month at work. That's kind of cool, I am blessed with a great boss now and work is fun. Before I was stressed and wondered how I could stay there! Just a personality clash with the director.
I will have a busy week next week, we have revival the first of the week and I have training Thursday. Les and I pretty much celebrated my birthday last Saturday because we are too busy to do anything next week. I have gotten used to Homecoming being right there at my Birthday and I guess Church is the best place to be, the funny thing is last year Les was teaching VBS on his 50th! They did have him 2 cakes and gave him a party though which was great!
Sunday night Jot will be there. He is almost 90 and is one of the funniest and best preachers in this area! I keep trying to get my family members to come hear him but they don't want to get and go to church on a Sunday Night. They are missing the blessing! He drives from Clinton which is about 25 miles away to speak to us. That's something for a man his age! Each time I see him preach I take it in hoping it won't be the last time I see him pull up his pants legs and laugh at himself! He lost his wife in 2008, they were married close to 70 years and every time he preached he would say "Darlin' would you pray for me?" and she would although she had Alzheimer's and a diseased liver. That forever will be in my heart when I think of him!

Charli Walks!

When I got to Gina's yesterday she was in a bit of a tizzy, while she was in the shower Charli sat in her walker and made a Big mess! It was running out her diaper and on the floor. Gina had put Charli in the tub and dressed her when I came in. I was talking to the baby who was standing there while her Mommy cleaned up and she decided to start walking! She was proud of herself, too, and seemed to know how excited we were! When Trey came in she walked to Daddy but a little slower than before. It was so funny!
Her party is Sunday. My Mom thought Gina should have in at a restaurant but I like the idea of having it at her house where I can get good pictures and she can make a mess with her cake! Twila it's at 2:00. I can't wait to see her cake. One of Gina's customers is making it. She is doing a Princess theme and has the most precious dress! Gina and Trey got her one of those portable DVD players and Horton Hears a Who and Yogabbagabba DVD's. She hopes that's what people will get her as gifts because she hates clutter. Les and I went to Build a Bear and got the pink monkey but that's my limit, No more stuffed animals for gifts. Not that's she's fanatical or anything she just doesn't want dust and allergy problems. She is pretty smart really. As you can see by the pictures her floors are nice and she keeps a clean house: she Sure didn't get That from Mom!!
Well I will post some new shots later but it's time to go!
