Eighteen more sleeps :)

I'm counting the days until Sarah, Alex and David get here! Eighteen more nights and I'll once again get to share my bed with Alex :) I'm sooooo glad he got his cast off. Maybe I'll come out of it minus the black and blue marks this time :)

Don't All Grandmas Carry Cameras In Their Purses?

I have to admit that I do get a few strange looks when I drop everything, dig in my purse for my camera and crouch down on my knees and start taking pictures of the boys. But when you hang out with adorable, active boys, you never know when the opportunity will present itself. Gage had way more fun on the playground than he did watching Jameson's T-Ball game last night. And Grandma got the knees of her jeans dirty along with those weird looks. Wouldn't you say the shots I got were worth the looks?

Bless His John Deere Green Heart!

Not only did he spend Sunday morning staining my deck, he also arranged for Economy Autoglass to come and get my car, replace the windshield and then bring it back today. Gotta love a guy like that! But the main reason I love Karter is because he is sooo incredibly good with my boys and loves them as his own :)
Here's to you, Karter!

Sharon and Gianna

How lucky I am to have such thoughtful friends! I got a package today from Sharon and Gianna (Stella's middle name is named after Gianna) Sharon had a beautiful necklace made for me. I got a little teary eyed when I opened it. I tried to take a picture of it but it just didn't work. Anyway, it's got two circle pendants on it with each of my girls' names on them. And in between the circles is a clear purple bead. It's so cute but hard to explain. Just wait until you see it though, you're going to be jealous! Thank you Sharon! I'll treasure it always!


The rest of the package contained stuff for Stella. CUTE stuff! A pink polka dotted leash, a pink harness, a red & purple stuffed bunny that squeeks, a purple ball that squeeks, a pink furry dog bone and a chewy toy that you hide a treat in. And the BEST thing of all is the card! The front of it says, "G" is for girlie!! Now who else but Sharon could find such a perfect card??

I'm about 110% positive that G had a big hand in picking it all out. She's a little sweetie who definitely knows what she likes and what she doesn't :) When I go visit them next year (that is IF they'll have me again) I'm going to bring Stella with me so she can meet her namesake. You can see by the picture what a good little shopper G is!

Stella's Haul

Now all I need is a puppy :)

Friday Fun

TGIF!!!

7:17 AM, phone rings... Jameson on the other end, "Grandma, can you come and get me and Gagey and take us to Day Care? Mommy's dizzy and can't drive."

Me: "MMMmmm, ok, let me get out of bed, get dressed, brush my teeth and I'll be there. Do you have Bible School today?"

Jameson: "Yes."

Me: "I'll be there as soon as I can."

I got there around 7:30. Bible School doesn't start until 9:00, so I took them to McDonald's for breakfast and let them play until 8:45. I got some cute pictures but I'm too lazy to go get my camera to upload them.

After we took Jameson to the church, Gage and I stopped at Miracle Mart so he could bring a treat for the kids at Day Care. Couldn't sell him on the push up idea either so he bought (actually, I bought) a bag of lollipops for each of the classes. Then on to Day Care for him. (I did ask when we got there, and yes, they have a freezer there so next time, THEY WILL GET PUSH UPS!!)

Came home, jumped in the tub, did my hair and make-up and returned to the church for the Bible School program at 11:00. It was cute and I got pictures :)
Afterwards, I took Jameson to Day Care and came home to finally put my feet up and read the paper.

At 2:00, I picked up my Mom and we drove to Bismarck. We went to Bread Poets and picked up some yummy bread and then on to Petsmart to get all the equipment I'll need for when Stella gets here. Afterwards, Mom treated me to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse. YUM! The drive back was uneventful.

I plan to take my phone off the hook, turn off my cell phone and sleep in tomorrow. I may even take two sleeping pills tonight! Darn good thing I don't have a job... when would I fit that in??!! I'm sure glad Bible School is over until next year!
