Another First Time Event!!!!

Last weekend I was blessed with watching Matthew & Olivia Marie overnight Sat. and for part of Sunday. They were so good even though Matthew wasn't feeling the best, they played very well together.. I thought that it would be fun and really nothing to take them both to church with me. I never though it through..

I get them both ready and out to the car and buckled into their car seats and off we head to church.. I thought to myself this isn't so bad, so I look around to see how they are doing and Olivia Marie has somehow gotten her sweater off, both socks and was working on her headband.. I finally make it to church and decide to get Matthew out first beacause I knew that I had to almost redress Olivia. Well, Matthew decides that he want me to hold him and he starts to cry. I get Olivia back into shape and pick up Matthew, and then grab Olivia when I realize that I forgot to get the diaper bag from the front seat. I finally get all loaded up and into the church and it suddeny hit me like a ton of bricks that I was doing this alone, without my helper. I started crying and couldn't help myself. Randy Dunn was inside the door and quickly came to my rescue and helped me get into church.

Later while church is going on Matthew was playing with my keys that were hooked onto the diaper bad, and Randy Dunn slips up to me and says " Net your car alarm is going off", Matthew had hit the alarm button and unknown to me my horn was just a honkin...

Thanks to Mary Jane for watching Olivia Marie for me while I was watching Matthew. Between all of us it was a pretty good day.

Not sure when I will try that again but I'm sure I will and maybe be more together with it... I do love those grandkids....

Mister Mister

Just wanted to show off our little handsome Mister Mister.. He looks so big and adorable I just had to steal this photo..

New Things!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that most of you know that I have had some major changes in my life recently. I know that I have been very torn by this change, I want to go on record that I am on the road to RECOVERY.. I know that I will still have days that are going to be hard and I am sure that I will shed more tears in the future but I AM going to be alright. I have a wonderful family that has been there for me and many many many friends have been there too. I didn't really know that I had so many friends.. I am also signing up to go to a support group which was a really hard thing for me to committ to, but I am serious about doing everything that I can to get back on with my life. Just want to say that I am doing better!!!

Branson Trip

Here are some pictures fromm my recent trip to Branson with John & Katressa and the girls. We really had a great time...

After we arrived in Branson and got settled in, we hit the streets. Our first stop was the Wax Museum. We all were having a good time especially John. I think he was having "too much fun" with Marilyn Monroe. He was sure looking her over (and up). Katressa had to drag him away from her..

We also went to the Titantic Replica. This was very intresting and sad. They give you a boarding pass with a passenger which you follow throughtout the tour and in the end you find out if you survive or perish. My passenger did in fact survive.

We also went to Sight and Sound and saw Noah, I have been to the one in Pennsylvania and saw Ruth but Noah was nothing more that amazing. With the 300ft. three sided stage the inside if the ark was beautiful. I really did enjoy the production.

All in all I had a great trip. It was nice to get away for a week. Thank you kids for letting Granna go along.......

One Year Old Today!!!

I totally remember where I was a year ago today. It was Father's Day and my daughter was giving her husband, John the greatest Father's Day gift that he could ever have. A beautiful baby girl that they named Olivia Marie... Marie is her granna's middle name, and I feel so honored that they gave it to her. I only hope that she likes it better than I did growing up. I was also given the privilege of being there when she was born, an experience I hope that I NEVER forget. That was such a beautiful day for this couple starting their own little family. I remember how special that time was for me when my children were born.

Olivia Marie has brought so much joy into our hearts and lives. She had a rough road at first with the scare of swine flu and then galatosemia but God answered our prayers. I want to thank God for this blessing that he has given our family

Happy 1st Birthday Olivia Marie Roberts we all love you!!!

Sleepover at Granna's

This was Katressa's weekend to work and we usually keep Olivia Marie overnight and take her to church. Now that my life has changed I wasn't sure if I could do this by myself, so I gave it a try. I had so much fun with her playing and giving her bath. She's not the greatest to sleep with but I managed. I found out that I CAN do this and will continue to keep her as often as I can. I love her so much. Also, my water iris was blooming this weekend and was beautiful.
