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.

My Children the Lumberjacks!!!

We have had this spruce tree in our yard for 26 years and it has been slowly dying. The park that we live in was suppose to cut it down for us but never had. Last week I came home from work and Kyle had been chopping away on that tree, he was using a 20pound splitting maul, after he got up so far he tied a rope around it and Katressa was on the other end to pull the rope as it was falling. I was a nervous wreck that it was going to land on the neigbors trailor, needless to say they did just fine...Never knew they had lumberjack blood in them..

Life is GOOD

Last weekend I was able to get Mattthew and we had such a fun time. We went to the Relay-for-Life walk and spent some time and he was a ham. Then we went over to see cousin Olivia and they had a time playing together. Matthew would never take a pacifier when he was a baby but her sure had a time with Olivia's. Lauren gave Matthew a hair cut and Olivia finally has more hair than someone!! I love these babies they are my world and I thank God for then everyday.

Mother's Day 2010

I'm finally getting around to posting picutres of Mother's Day. We mother's had a very nice day. We went to John & Katressa's for lunch. Katressa was excited about experiencing her first mother's day,(she got a laptop)! Olivia Marie was her sweet little self stealing all the attention with her adorable ways, she was able to show off for both of her granna's and great-granna. I bought tulips for our table in memory of Mom Mom a very SPECIAL woman that we all miss dearly. We had a great day being together.

Easter Part 2

This was Olivia's first Easter and Katressa had to work so I volunteered to take Olivia Maire to church with us. She was adorable of course. Katressa & Kyle surprised me by having their Dad take their picture while I was inside. I guess that they knew that I would make them pose for me anyway. Olivia had so much fun that she stepped out of her diaper.

Easter 2010

We had to have our family Easter get together this past Sunday. We had a great time and my what fun. We had a wonderful meal and the grandkids enjoyed the egg hunt, Katressa & Kyle even played catch for a while until they both realized that they are neither one 16 anymore!!! I thank God so much for his blessings on our family. I think that even Great-Grandma & Grandpa had a good time.
