all about the Ferguson's...

Family Pics...

2011-01-15T16:42:00.000-08:00

For the longest time, my Dad has wanted to take family photos. There are 4 of us kids and 5 grandkids. It's not so easy to get us altogether, but we finally did it!

These are a few favorites~

My sister Tiffany, brother Brian, stepmom Karen, Dad, me, brother Kevin.

It was cold and windy.....at least that was the excuse for this face :)

me, Nanny Phyllis, and Tiffany.

We also got the chance to take Ferguson Family photos!! Again, cold...but we got it done!

Merry New Year Christmas!!

2011-01-04T14:28:00.000-08:00

I'm having a really hard time explaining to Grant that Christmas is over. Could be all the Christmas lights still up around town. Could be that we had 3 different Christmas' over a weeks time. Could be that our tree is still up. (ha!) Who knows. Anyways, his new saying is "Merry New Year Christmas!"

Here are a few pictures from our Holiday.

Grant was REAAALLLLY ready to go to Oklahoma! I caught him with his suitcase trying to leave one morning.

Christmas Morning...Kenna was very excited to see her new keyboard. If this sticks, we might be looking into piano lessons. :)

Grant got this GIANT "ma-rote" control Monster Truck from Santa. He really wanted a yellow one, but Santa must have run out of yellow paint.

The Festival Of Lights in Chickasha, OK. Very pretty!!
This is one of my favorite displays...a tow truck and Santa's sleigh. Heehee!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!! And from our family to yours, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

You see what had happened was......

Jaycee had a bike wreck. A bad one. Down a steep hill, going very fast, and obviously not at all in a straight or upright position. She landed on her elbows then rolled.

Bruises=both elbows, one leg, 2 on stomach, 1 on chin, groin (BAD ONE!), and 1 on her chest. Blood= elbow, head, tummy. The head scared me. Always does. Head wounds bleed so bad!! Turns out, it was a very small puncture.
It could have been worse. She could have broken something. We're still not sure about ALL the damage.

We go back to the orthopedic surgeon Wednesday.

Not good. Still yet, it could have been worse.

She has possible damage to the growth plate in her shoulder and maybe something or another going on with the nerve in her elbow (causing numbness in her hand).

I should have gotten more pictures of the MULTIPLE bruises she has......but from the photo below, you'll see she wasn't happen about the camera. =)

This was taken in the ER.....TWO DAYS LATER.

I'm either the mom that runs immediately, thinking broken arm-leg-head, or the mom that makes here kid suffer two days before going in. And truth be told, I tried to get her in to the Doc, but they had nothing open and my baby was sufferin'.

So Jaycee is in a sling....not sure for how long. But she's done well. More xrays tomorrow, doc on Wednesday.

So how was your week??

few new pics

2010-11-29T13:30:00.000-08:00

So we'll start at Halloween and work our way to the present :)
Grant had two costumes this year
This is Dr. Ferguson....he wore this one to the school carnival in town.
And this is Batman with his sidekicks, Disco girl and Glamour Witch. (I could have picked somewhere other than the GARAGE to take a memorable pic, huh?)

Jaycee and Kenna shot in their first archery tournament in November. They won 2nd and 1st places, respectively. Very proud! District is in two weeks....WOO HOOO!

HAPPY FALL YALL! ( yes Jaycee's arm is in a sling.....more on that later)

We were honored to be invited to our good friends, the Harkness' for Thanksgiving. They would here of us being "alone" with just the 5 of us. This is the awesome setting for our meal. We had REAL plates and REAL glasses and there was even wine on all the tables!! Very fancy for this small town girl! Yet very welcoming and relaxing! We even played softball in the rain afterwards...good times!

The girls and I at Thanksgiving....(pre-rainy-softball-game)
(and this photo somehow got flipped, so Jaycee's sling is on the "wrong" arm!!)

Enjoy your day....

2010-11-10T10:32:00.000-08:00

One of our favorite family past times in fishing. The house we live in now has 2 ponds! We love it!
This is a picture of me, just to prove I was there :)

Jaycee and Kenna with a B-I-G one!!

Grant and his mighty fishin' dog...

Shawn was there too, but he must have been hiding from the pictures. He always teases me that everything we do is just a photo op. So when I take pictures, I have to be sneaky!! haha!

This is Grant at the doctor's office on Monday. He was running fever and had a headache.....we actually went in to check on a bump he got the previous night when he FELL OFF THE CAR. Yep, he's a climber.

btw, he's better :)

This one is from the Halloween party at a friends house. Kenna is a Glamour witch and Jaycee is a disco girl. Batman, Elvis and Dr. Sniffles were also in attendance.

Shawn's handmade, Flyin' Elvis suit circa 1996. Remodeled with some new LED lights. The previous lights were Christmas lights he re-wired INDIVIDUALLY to string up to battery packs he taped to his belt. He was a hit!!

Houston Astros vs Chicago Cubs

2010-10-06T09:37:00.000-07:00

Shawn recently cashed in some hotel points and got us tickets to a MLB game in Houston. It was AWESOME!! I had so much fun! The kids had fun, but got a little bored during the game. It was Family day, so there were activities for the kids prior to the game.
Bouncy houses.
wax hands.
Coloring.
Clowns.
Ball pits.
FREE.
It was great!

We sat way up high, but the view was great! AND, we were in the shade the whole time.

A good family photo is rare.

Kids with Junction Jack :)

Grant wanted to see EVERYTHING.

It was so much fun and I hope we get to go again some day.

Creations...

2010-10-06T09:24:00.000-07:00

these are just a few of the things I've been making lately....

On my mind...

2010-09-28T06:42:00.000-07:00

What's on my mind today??

I can't stop thinking about my best friend's new grandbaby. I picture his mother and all I see is that sweet, 5th grader with the dark reading glasses that used to come into the library and hug me everyday. That was the year I met that whole family. And now she's a mommy?? Wow.

The Daugherty's are my family now.

Now there is Kemper Paul Waldo, the newest addition and I can't wait to get up there to meet him.

And I'm thinking about homework. Man, do I ever have a lot to get done. But I'll get it. Probably late tonight, when it's quiet.

And Dark.

And I'm sleepy.

But I will get it done.

And I'm thinking about getting ready to head into town. Gotta run some errands, post office, church library, newspaper office....then Ferger burgers with Shawn and his office crew!! YESSS! I love it when it's someone's birthday! Happy Birthday, Lydia!

And I'm thinking about the new projects I have started. First are the t-shirt quilts I"m making for the girls. Made from t-shirts from Church camp, 4-H, years of FFA conventions when they were little, trips to special places, shirts people got them on THEIR special trips, "I'm a big sister" shirts, OSU shirts.....there are a LOT of shirts. I've been saving for a while... like 7 years. These might be B-I-G quilts. If you have any experience with making these particular quilts.....please, any advice is WELCOME :)

The other projects are the shirts with the stitched on fabric....do you know what I mean??

Here's a picture of one I finished this morning. I also made some for the girls...red shirts with CC on the front in the zebra print, for Columbus Cardinals.

I get in these crafty moods and just want to.....Produce something. You can't really see in the pic, but this shirt has orange stitching.

Also I have made a few binky holders. Ya know? Those nifty things that hold onto pacifiers when your kid is playing that I'll-throw-this-and-you-go-get-it game?? I made a couple for some friends from church. They are definitely easier to make for girls! You can really BLING those babies out!

These are the ones I made for Miss Ellie. I also have made one with beads....I saw those online, thought, I can do that. So I did.

(more pics to follow)

One other thing weighing the ole mind is our garage sale this weekend. Just kinda outta blue. Well, not really. I mean there's been that pile of stuff in the garage since we moved. It's cooler now, it's the first of the month this weekend...no better time than the present.

But dang, it's a lot of work!! HA!

And I promised my girls 10% each of all profits if they helped. So far, so good.

Better get busy on my day.....Yall come back, now, ya hear.

Sept 26...

2010-09-26T06:22:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday, Papa!! Today my Papa would have been 72 yrs old.
This is not the best picture in the world! But it's the only one I have scanned on my computer right now. Notice the lines across the bottom....That is glass. The picture frame this photo was in got broken and the photo was somehow STUCK to the glass. UGH. So I did the best I could to preserve it by scanning it as is.
This picture was taken at my cousin's wedding about 13 years ago. Aren't they cute!?

Blog Worthy??

2010-09-25T18:34:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pics I found on my camera I though might be blog worthy.....
This is me FINALLY getting to wear my scrubs to go to "work" at the hospital. YAY! Can you call it work if you don't actually get paid?? Though I have worked my booty off as a SAHM for 11 years and that only pays in kisses and giggles.... =)

Caught this photo op driving down the road the other day. The sun was just peeking out of the clouds and it was so pretty....God is so good.

This is Grant and he BEST BUD Hailey. She is 4 and plays soccer so we go to cheer her on. Go RED TEAM!! They are attached at the hip a lot of the time and in this pic, it looks as if they actually are!! HA! Neither one can make it a full week without a play date. Honestly, her mom and I can't either! She's MY bud!! Love ya, Molly!

2010-09-11T18:21:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more pictures from the County Fair....

The girls outside one of the "rides" they went on. It reminded me of that fun house on Grease. HA! (notice the fancy mud boots...it's wet here people!)

This one cracks me up! Farm boy Heaven!

Grant and I at the petting zoo. This calf wanted to come home with me. He told me :)

Grant wanted this one. He followed that thing around... I could have put him in my pocket. I love them lil suckers!

I wish I had pics of Grant watching the rodeo. He was mezmerized! Until the ropin and bull doggin'. He really wasn't into all that! But the buckin' horses and bulls...oh my.

Lord, save my boy.

Amen.

Buckaroo Baby

2010-09-11T18:10:00.000-07:00

This weekend is the Colorado County Fair. There's a lot to do, from the carnival, to arts and crafts, concerts, BBQ cook-off, Tractor-pull, and the RODEO.

I'm not sure how good this video is gonna show up on here, but this is our lil Buckaroo baby riding his first sheep. And folks, He's HOOKED.

After he gets off the sheep and gets back to the stands with his daddy, he looks at me and says, "now what are we gonna do Momma?" I said "well we're gonna watch the rest of the cowboys." "And then it will be my turn again?" He was lookin' for a re-ride, folks!

There were no tears but he did have some dirt where dirt shouldn't be! In his ears, in his boots, in his mouth, and I'm sure a few other places too!

it's time....

2010-09-03T12:29:00.000-07:00

...to catch up on the blog!

We just got internet at the new house hooked up yesterday! FINALLY. I've been using my phone which just isn't the same.
We are loving our new house outside of Columbus. It's so quiet and peaceful (as peaceful as 3 kids and 2 dogs can be :D) The view out back is phenomenal.....worth the hassle of the move!

School has resumed and we are all settling into our routines. The girls are in the 5th grade now. For years, I couldn't wait until they got into Mrs. Griffin's reading class and Mrs. Matchett's class in Quanah.....kinda makes me sad they aren't getting to have the pleasure of these two amazing women. But they are enjoying school here just the same. They are the oldest on campus now, so they get a few more privileges now. They are gearing up for lots of activities in GT, signed up for shoir again, enrolled in 2 4-H clubs this year (there regular club and the shooting sports club), they start choir practice at church every Monday in a couple weeks along with a Bible Drill Club. Awanas also starts soon, as does the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace course SHawn and I will be taking. I'm so ready for that one!!

Grant is adjusting to his time at daycare. He stays with a friend from church that has a little boy Grants age. She keeps a few kids at home and Grant just thinks it's a play day! He only goes about 2-3 days a week, when I'm in Houston for class and while I'm at the hospital doing my clinicals (which I start next week! :D)

It's looking like I could be done with school by next Fall for sure. It's about time. gah.

It's been raining everyday here, but it's so hot and humid.....I can't wait for cooler weather. It's pitiful for the windows in the house to be fogged over from the cold inside and the humidity outside!

I guess that's all for now...need to upload pics another time.
ttfn!
jamie

our summer so far...

2010-06-30T14:36:00.000-07:00

I must figure out this uploading pictures thing! It's got me baffled!!

Anyways...a lot has been going on around here and I've only got a minute to catch you all up on a few things. We are moving to a new house and this is the view from our back porch. You are all welcome to come over for coffee anytime and watch the sunrise. Then, in the evenings, we'll sit out and watch the many, many deer come and frolick in the valley. Oh yes. It's magnificent!!!

These pictures were taken about 2 months ago on a canoeing trip down the Colorado River. We like to go do this quite often. It's cheap family fun and we get our excersize.

I have more pics on my phone I need to upload..... I'll try to do that soon. Tonight we'll be moving most of the big furniture over to the new house. I'm sooo ready to be done. The food/kitchen situation is annoying. Food here, dishes there. Not a good planner, I guess.

The girls are in the middle of swimming lessons, went to a 4-H leatherworking day camp, have been to VBS in Quanah, church camp in OK, and it's not even July yet. Grant hopes to get his swimming lessons done soon....he's sooo jealous when we drop them off every morning. :(

We have Vbs here in another week, more 4-H day camps, a trip to San Antonio for Shawn and I while the kids go to Grandma and Pawpaw's, not to mention unpacking the new house and getting ready for some visitors later this summer!! yaya!!!

More to come later!

2010-05-24T09:52:00.000-07:00

I have been trying for days to upload pictures to go along with my blog..... it's just not happening! So you only get one picture today...

To play a little catch up , I will fill you in on what's been going on here in South Texas. May is always busy with the school year wrapping up. I finally finished my classes on the 8th (yay!) I have struggled this year since moving schools and doing classes strictly online...not easy with a little boy runnin' around, craving your attention! But I did finish with 2 A's, a B, and a C :(.....

The girls finished up Choir at school with a concert at school and a contest in Spring. They came home with an amazing trophy, scoring a Superior rating and receiving all 1's. They were very proud!

This picture was taken the day of the concert, they got to go to the waterpark in Spring afterwards ( I went along as a sponsor). It was a lot of fun....and, NO, I didn't swim :)

Kenna participated on the Consumer Decision Making team this year in 4-H. They went to a contest back in March in San Antonio. She did well there, getting the highest score on her team. They recently competed at District in College Station, and she was placed in the Top 10 (the only one from her team) and her team placed 7th (they were short one person compared to all the other teams, so that's pretty good!)

I am looking forward to getting their last 4th grade report cards and seeing straight A's once again... :)

Grant has been enjoying playdates with Hailey, his "buddy", she's a lot of fun! And I especially enjoy the "adult" time her Mommy and I have! LOL

He had a bday party back in April here at the house. He had a few friends over (Easter weekend and many people were out of town) Shawn grilled hamburgers (FERGERS, yum) and we all enjoyed getting to know some of our new friends a little better. Grant got new boots, and likes to wear them with everything! What little boy doesn't?

I am trying to get the girls into some activities this summer. There seems to be a lot to choose from around here. I know they will be taking swimming lessons, maybe attend some sports camps here in town.....they played basketball in Jan-Feb and had fun...even though their daddy coached them :) There is a big volleyball camp coming up.....I guess we'll have to pick something!

Shawn recently interviewed for a job in Lawton, OK. God apparently wants us to stay put a little while longer. We both agree God is in control, and we leave it in his hands to take us where we belong. We WILL be taking trips home this summer though...more than one, I'm sure! We miss our families something terrible!!

As a matter of fact, this weekend, Shawn's mom and sister are coming to visit (well not visit as much to KIDNAP my children!! haha). They will be staying all weekend, then leaving with the girls on Tuesday after their awards assembly at school to head back to OK. They will be going to Falls Creek the very next day. Grant and I will be leaving on Wednesday to head to Holdenville to see my folks, then pick up Jaycee and Kenna on Sunday on our way to Quanah!!!!!!!!! Yippeee!! The girls will be going to VBS at FBCQ with all of their old friends.... they are STOKED!!

I plan on attending a girls night out (maybe twice lol) with all my peeps, driving over to see my brother in Altus/Snyder at his new digs, going to church, eating at Red's and K&R, and just hanging out with my people!!!!!!!! I'm am sooooo excited!

I will try again to post pics....thanks for reading!!

2010-04-15T18:33:00.000-07:00

Recently we took a trip to the South Llano River State Park outside of Junction, TX. It was so pretty there....clean, clear water, birds chirping...serene. These are a few shots taken while we were there.

Jaycee, not happy about being in the boat with me....

They are a little out of order because I have yet to master this blog thing... This is Grant and Kenna and Shawn... None of the kids wanted to ride with me :(

This was taken by the guy we rented the 2nd canoe from....the whole family just before our 4 hour canoe trip.

Grant LOVES him some smores!!

Headed down to the river to go fishing. Has somewhat of an "Andy and Opie" feel, huh?

The last day, the girls fianlly convinced Shawn to take them tubing. It was icy cold water, but they enjoyed it...Grant and I spent our time fishing (feeding the turtles is more like it!)

I absolutely LOVE this picture.

Love, J

Happy Easter...

2010-04-05T12:48:00.000-07:00

I finally got over to the field I've been eyeing to get some pics. This field is gorgeous and is literally right around the corner from our house.

You know we can't take pictures without incident....they are just acting silly here.

He's a good looking boy, if I do say so myself!

One of the good ones.....I think I took about 30. I ended up with probably 3 or 4 usable ones.

I'm still looking for some bluebonnets.... :)

To Sleep but yet to Dream...

2010-04-01T03:06:00.000-07:00

I hate it when I can't sleep.

I have no one to talk to and so much on my mind. Not that they'd want to hear it. It's all rambling garbage. lol But still, it must come out. Period.

It's 3 am. Why can't I be this awake at 6. or even 7.

I started a load of laundry. I don't wash clean clothes.

Do you?

I don't.

SO why are there ALWAYS clean clothes in the girls' hampers? Because it's easier to put them there, then put them away. Logic, duh.

I went to Hobby Lobby today. New addiction. Hobby Lobby coupons are the bomb. If it ain't half price, use your 40% off coupon. Know what I had to use my 40% off coupon on today? A plate holder for $2.99. That's becasue everything else I bought was HALF OFF. BBWWWWAAAAAHAHAHAHA. New addiction.

I'm drinking my sleepytime tea, this post might get even more random.

Buckle up, Buttercup.

I would show you a pic of my (ONE of my) favorite new things from HL. But I'm too tired, I'll try to do it during daylight hours. You'll be jealous. Wait and see.

I saw this on a random blog I was scoping out the other day. Randomly pick a picture from your picture files and post it, then describe.

Here goes.
Oh!! That's my Jaycee's BB pic from this past season. She's a force to be reckoned with on the court. I'm just saying.

Let's do another.Hee hee..the famous "Mud Kitchen". Famous for chocolate anything! Wow...and look at that. Almost 5 years to the day....

Oh crap. Today is April Fool's Day. The best thing about that is that tmrw is Grant-man's birthday.....awwww. My boy! I love him to pieces!

That was fun. I'll have to play that lil game again sometime.

My mind just went totally blank. Think the tea is kicking in. I better get before I say something weird. 2Shay!

barn door...

2010-03-29T14:50:00.000-07:00

The girls came in today with their Spring school pictures. They are really good!! I thought, "wow, I don't even mind spending this OUTRAGEOUS price for them."

Now if you know me, you know I pay attention to detail. In some things. Like pictures.

This is Jaycee. I love this pic...new shirt, new Converse tennies, beautiful smile.....she is stylin'.

This is Kenna....also stylin. I love her pic also....cool necklace, zebra belt, headband,(not the shoes I preferred but you can't win 'em all).

THEN, I see it. Her zipper is open. WHAT!?!?!
Are you serious?!?!!? Oh yes, it may not be visible on the blog photo, but it will be in the 8x10 I'm going to display in my LIVING ROOM.

She wasn't as dramatic/over-reactive as I thought she could be. She actually laughed about it. She thinks I should send it in to Ellen's Bad Paid for Photos. LOL...I love that kid!!

ODD

2010-03-29T06:47:00.000-07:00

Please excuse any odd looking blogs, I'm still getting used to this.

It took me FOREVER to add those photos in the previous post. I'd like to add a video.....I'll try it here!

OK..Odd video. I wasn't sure what I was adding because I didn't have a preview.
That was the day we drove over to Fayetteville Lake to check out the camping. It was obviously Cold and WINDY! Grant didn't seem to mind! And I don't know what Jaycee was saying due to the wind, but whatever it was, she was EXCITED!! LOL!

Let's do another shall we...

WHAT IS THAT?!?!?!? These apparently live down the road from us. We saw them on our way home the other day. I had to stop. When I started taking pictures, this one just came over to us. It's like a cow/zebra/deer/goat. Anyone who can ellaborate on what this is, would absolutely make my day.
Thank you and God Bless..
jamie

WOW...

2010-03-28T19:25:00.000-07:00

So I went to this 9 mile antique thing today, I don't know the actual "name" of this event, but it's held in Warrenton/Round Top twice a year. I went with my buddy Molly to deliver some furniture to her MILs booth...anywho-

This place was AMAZING!! I was awestruck! (is that a word?) There were so many things I can't begin to tell you what all was there. Let's just say you could decorate just about anything you wanted in just about any style/theme you wanted with things from this fair. There was furniture, metal art, wooden tables, dishes, chairs, beds, all old, all antique. It was great! I didn't buy a thing.

(but we're going back Friday..heehee!)

After we got back, Shawn wanted to go for a scout ride and show us girls a new road he and Grant found. This is where we ended up.....

Yes, those are my children in the cold creek, having a blast. They played for a while, ending up soaking wet! Jaycee even lay down in it! They all road home in their undies, wrapped in a blanket!! Good Times!!

The week looks to be busy...my baby boy will be 3 on Friday *tear*. Party to follow.

Bye for now.

Spring Break

2010-03-21T16:02:00.000-07:00

The kids and I got to travel to Oklahoma during spring break. First stop.....Grandma and Pawpaw's!! The kids always have so much fun. They get to gather the chicken eggs with Pawpaw, make cookies with Grandma, and do absolutely whatever they want with Aunt Kerri and Aunt Kristi! They are only a pinch spoiled!

We drove down to Wichita Falls one morning to meet Gina and Quint at Jump for Joy. What an amazing place!! There were 5 LARGE bouncy "things" and for $7 you could bounce ALL DAY!! It was crazy busy (of course, Spring Break) but we all had a great time. And parents can play for free!!! Then our most favorite, Chinese buffet for lunch. It was a good, good day. LOL!

On Tuesday we headed out to Nanny's. My brother there. That night, Nanny taught us all a "new" game. Spoons. That's right, people. I've never played spoons before. And let me just say, I'm glad it's not called Forks. 'Nuf said.

We also learned a new game while we were at Grandma and Pawpaw's. Rummykub. Yep, never played that before either. We brought that game home with us!!

We took a trip to the zoo with Mimi (her first in about 17 years :) ). Once again, crowded. Matter of fact, it was a record breaking day for attendance at the OKC zoo. As it was last year when we went. We're just lucky like that I guess. :o}

Friday was spent mostly on the road home. A little detour to see my good friend Katrice at her Mom and Dad's. We surprised her, it was great! Wish we could have stayed longer though.
Got home that night at 11:45. up the next morning to head to Austin for Jaycee to get her award and Shawn to go boot shopping. We at on Lake Austin at the Hula Hut....YUM!

I love getting away, but now I need a few days to recover. To the moon and back, my friends......

Christmas was....

2008-12-26T19:16:00.000-08:00

here. And now it's gone. :(

It's over so fast. Now we are looking forward to the New Year.....2009. Can you believe it?

We will be traveling to my parents for the first part of next week. I'm excited. Didn't think we were gonna get to go. But if the weather is right, we will leave Sunday and come back Wednesday.

The kids have once again had a great day playing the wii. We all have! We just need to get some new games.

And again....I need to upload some pix. uh.

Christmas Day....

2008-12-25T20:22:00.000-08:00

It has been a beautiful day....well in the house anyways, I haven't really been outside today! We have been playing and sleeping all day. The kids are loving the new Wii (thanks Santy, as grant calls him :) ) and Grant's just loving that everyone is home to entertain him today.

Shawn is off tomorrow too so that is exciting. I hope we can do something fun. Don't know what that would be though.

Grant got some "melmo" aka Elmo house shoes and he just LOVES them! He wore them ALL day. I really need to post some pix, but they need to be downloaded to the puter first. Tomorrow.

I am headed to bed I think. The girls are still running wild, just now taking showers. Maybe if I go to bed, they will go too. ha.

Good night world....

keep on keepin on...

2008-12-24T18:12:00.000-08:00

whoa nelly it's Christmas Eve and my kids are CRAZY. The later it gets the crazier they get. The girls are so ready for Santa, they have even called him on the phone today (he was in China and told them to get to bed early and be good and listen to their momma and......well ya know, all the "Santa" stuff). We have very good friends in the "north pole" aka Colorado, that LOVe playing Santa to our kids every year. Shawn even put the number on speed dial in his cell.

"Santa Claus #5"

hehee!

So Grant is all over Spiderman right now. He is hilarious! When Spidey (as Grant TRYS to say) is climbing the wall or flying, Grant just SCREAMS! He loves it. Then he just ooo's and aahhh's. I got some on video and if I could figure out how to do it, I would post it. Maybe I wil work on learning how to do that. And maybe I'll look into adding some pics.

For now, I need to be doing something productive, I'm sure.

Hope everyone has a Wonderful and Blessed Christmas!!

I can't believe how far behind I let myself get. I have tons of school work, tons of housework (which includes everything from bills to ironing), should be working harder on Avon........I just can't seem to catch up!

So I'm just gonna shoot from the hip here.....why do so many people (and by that I mean those that get angry when others "get in their business") why do they put their BUSINESS out on places like blogs and myspace. I mean come on, don't they realize people read that stuff. That 's what it's there for. Of course they realize it. That's why they put it there. To cause DRAMA. OMG the drama!!!!! I cannot stand it. I love my little boring life! My friends are AWESOME! We like to get together and regroup our lives and not get into that petty drama others thrive on!We are too old and grown up for that!
So to those who love to cause the drama....say you don't like the small town crap.....yet put yourself out there for display.....do things yourself to cause people to talk.....and LOVE all the attention......GROW UP. For heaven's sake...............

anyways............

Grant is a wild man. Plain and simple. I can't keep up with him! I should be a skinny fool running after him all the time. But I'm not..........ugh.

well that's me today. Fed up with being behind, fed up with ........people. And tired of chasing my 1 year old. I'm tired.

so it's me...........
