December has come and gone

2011-01-03T18:42:00.000-08:00

Wow it seems ever year that the season comes and goes so fast. This year we celebrated with 5 grand babies. They are all so incredible. Christmas day Steph and Patrick announced that Ainsley would be having a baby sis or brother. How exciting!! This means next Christmas we will have 6 babies. How fun will that be. Thank God Jenn has a big house.

Update on the kiddos. Brayden is 6 and is in kindergarten. He is getting so big. His cousins love him so much. Boston is almost 3 and is so funny. I love that little guy! Ainsley is 2 1/2 and she is such a big girl. Her vocabulary is hugh. Her and Boston are amazing to just listen too. Ainsley , Steph and Patrick live in Conroe TX. You are all missed so much. I love to hear all the new things Ainsley is doing. Then there is Ella Reese she is so special. This little girl may be little but she is full of spunk. Ty is number 5 and he is so sweet. He is always smiling. His blue eyes and smile will melt your heart. Love those babies!!!!

As far as for Jenn and Keith they are doing great. Keith has a new job with Lockheed Martin. Keith we are so proud of you. Thanks for taking care of my baby girl (Jenn). Jenn still teaches school and loves it.
You two are awesome parents!!! Love you guys!!!!

Steph and Patrick are doing great also. Patrick and Steph both started new jobs this year. Steph teaches high school chemistry. You brave girl! Patrick loves his job he keeps a check on the pipe lines. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to meet my new grand baby. You guys are great parents!!! Love you guys!!!!

As for Zach he is struggling right now. Everyone please pray that he gets help soon. I love this boy so much. Please pray for him. He has 2 very precious little boys. Brayden and Ty.

Ronnie you are such a great mommy. Thanks so much for being part of our family. Love you!!

Steve and I are doing OK. Steve's work is very very slow. First time in 25 years. He has started working at a warehouse in the evenings to make ends meet. Wow you think by the time you are our age it is suppose to get easier. I am working part time for a physician and still working on getting my embroidery business larger. I love it!!! This too shall pass. I just thank God for our health and for our whole family, our kids, grand kids and parents, brothers and sisters.

Mom and Dad are good. They are loving those babies. How many babies do you know that get to spend time with their great grand parents. Our babies are blessed!!! Love you guys so much!!!

Jeni is doing good since her ordeal back in November. We are so happy everything turned out good. Once again we feel so lucky for our babies to be able to spend so much time with their great grands parents. Love you Jeni!

Happy New Year!!!! Praying for a blessed 2011
Love to all

September not much happening just staying busy and loving my babies. October was a busy month. October 16th was Steve's dad memorial service. Steve had family come into town that he had not seen in a long time. It was really good to see everyone. I just wish we could see out of town family more often. Steph and Patrick and baby girl Ainsley were in town also. Sunday before they left we all went to the Dallas Arboridum and as always got some great pictures. The next weekend was Jenn's annual Halloween party. A good time was had by all.
Now Thanksgiving is approaching and I can't believe how fast time flies. I am so thankful for my family...

Let me just say we had a great vacation. Steve, Brayden and I along with Jenn, Keith and their family and our special guest Hank and Linda Borg. We took a road trip to Branson MO. That first day of travel was longggggg! I forgot what it was like traveling with 3 little ones. The first day we drove to Mountainburg Ark and visited with my Uncle Robert and Aunt Irene. I also got to see 2 of my cousins that I had not seen in a long time. We had a great visit. Thanks for having us. The next day we drove on into Branson. It was so pretty there. The boys Brayden and Boston were so excited there was a putt putt on almost every corner. Nothing like the putt putt here. That first night we when to ride bumper boats and play games. Oh my Gosh the men had a blast. They were back in there childhood for a few moments. I never laughed so hard watching those guys. Each day we had something planned to do. From riding the train to riding a big boat and seeing a couple of shows. Oh and allot of swimming. Keith his Dad and Linda had to leave on Wed because Keith had to get back to work. Believe me they were all missed. We enjoyed there company so much. Next year we hope they will be able to stay entire week. For those of you who have never been to Branson MO I would recommend it. Very entertaining and beautiful.

Well today was the day. Mom came over and gave me my first sewing lesson. I had already been practicing with sewing ribbon on cloth diapers. But we cut out a pillowcase dress for Ainsley and starting sewing. Within a few hours we were done. I then put and applique on it along with her name. It turned out so cute.....

So if you know anyone that might like one of these dresses just let me know. My dad is working very hard on getting my web site re done. It will have pictures of all I have done or most everything. Here are a few more items I have done lately.

Hello everyone!

Mothers Day was very busy this year. It started with my dear friend Peggy graduating from college. That's right she is 53 and she graduated on mothers day 2010. WOW...... I am so proud of her. She will be teaching next year at Caddo Grove Elem. no more being an aide. From graduation we had lunch then back home. Steve, and Zach were out of town working. Steph was in Houston and did not get home until late but the best part is her and Jenn went together and got me a sewing machine. That's right a sewing machine. Something I have been wanting for a long time. Now I can learn something new along with my embroidery machine. I am so excited. I will let you know when I finish my first item of clothing.

Weekend Fun

2010-04-26T19:55:00.000-07:00

Saturday was a busy day. I worked then meet Jenn and Keith to get Ella Reese. Jenn and Keith took big brother Boston to the Air Show. They met up with Steph, Patrick and cousin Ainsley. Boston and Ainsley just love being together. They fight and make up and fight and make up you would think they were siblings. The Air Show was a hit. Boston and Ainsley just loved it. These two are so much fun to watch. While they were at the air show I was at home with little Miss Ella Reese and Ty. They are both getting so big. I think he Ty is passing his cousin up in size. He loves to eat. Ty weighed 10# 10oz and 22in. long when Ronnie took him to the Dr. for his 4wk check up. It is so much fun being a grammie.
Sunday we had Brayden and decided to go to the dinosaur State Park. So Grandma, Ronnie,
Me, Steph, Patrick and Brayden, Boston, Ainsley and Ty headed to the park. Zach stayed home sick. The kids had a great time.

Just a note to all my grand babies I love you all soooo much! For those of you that do not know I have been Grammie for 5 1/2 years ever since Brayden was born. This year Boston decided he would call me Gee Gee so I am Grammie Gee Gee. Boston and Ainsley call me Gee Gee. For those of you who are not grandparents yet you will find out when you become a grandparent that it does not even matter what you are called. The love these little ones bring just melts your heart.
Love to all,

Going home Big Brother Boston wants you to know that Ella is his sister

Baby Ella Reese Just a few hours old

Hello Everyone,

For most of you know by now that March was an awesome month for the Thomas family. Our daughter had a new precious baby girl born March 5, 2010 Ella Reese. Our son has a new little boy Ty Hagen born March 23. These two new additions are so delightful. Who would of thought that at the age of 48 I would have 5 grand kids. OMG! My life is so complete. On another note Steph and Patrick will be moving back to Conroe this summer. I am happy for them but super sad for us. Ainsley is such a joy to be around. Her and Boston are so cute together. Patrick is working out of Houston and Steph here, this has been a very hard adjustment. Steph went to Conroe a couple of weeks ago for a job fair. Well she landed a job at a new high school in the Woodlands and will be teaching Chemistry. I realize this will be better for there family but I am kinda selfish. It just breaks my heart the thought of Ainsley and her mommy and daddy moving away. Steph promised she will spend allot of time here in the summer and on her breaks. This weekend Steph and Patrick went to Conroe to do a little house hunting. They found a brand new house with all the extras made and offer and signed a contract. Wow it is amazing how God works and takes care of us. Once they move sometime in June, Zach and Ronnie and baby Ty will move into Grandmas garage apartment. It will just be Steve and I and I am not sure I will know how to act... Praise God for family! Everyone else is doing great. Now it is April and Easter has come and gone, which by the way was such a great day. We spent Easter Sunday at Jenn's everyone was there well almost everyone. Brayden was at his moms and Patrick was in Houston but none the less we had a great day.

It's a New Year!!!

2010-01-20T19:08:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone,

I can't believe where time goes. December was a great month. We had a awesome Christmas. The babies were so much fun this year. Boston was all about tearing into his gifts. Ainsley still not really sure with the gift opening. We spent Christmas week very busy. Brayden was with us Christmas Eve. Christmas day we spent at Jenn and Keith's new house. It was so much fun.
We also had a white Christmas, it was beautiful.
The New Year is hear and busy it is. We had a baby shower for Ronnie Jan 10th and this coming weekend will be Jenn's baby shower. Wow where time goes. This means our new grand babies will be here before you know it. Can't wait to see their little faces. Brayden is getting excited about his baby brother. Boston is so cute he is now saving his baby sisters name. He says Ella Reese when asked her name. It is so cute to hear him say her name.
Good news about Brayden. The supervised visits are over and things go back to the original visitation. Best news every.
For those of you who do not know the update on Steph and Patrick. Steph stared her new job teaching high school Chemistry at Azle High School, Patrick started his new job this week. He is working for the same company as his dad. The only glitch is he works south of Houston. He works 7 days on and 7 days off. He will come home on his off days and keep Ainsley bug until they find a good day care. Grandma Jeni and Mimaw and I are taking different days of the week to keep her. She is such a joy.
Ainsley and Boston are getting so big. Boston is starting to really talk. Boston will be 2 years old on Feb 5. He is so cute when you ask him how old he is. He says twooooo and hold up 2 fingers. It is so cute because he crosses his 2 fingers. Jenn is having him a circus party this year. Once his party is over then it will be all about the babies. Jenn is getting ready she is starting to be really uncomfortable. Ronnie is finally looking pregnant, She is also getting uncomfortable.
I will stop now I am sure you all are tired of reading.
Love to all,

Where does the time go

2009-12-01T17:19:00.000-08:00

October was a great month. We took all the kiddos to the pumpkin patch. Boston and Ainsley are at such a cute age and into everything. Brayden is getting so big. He loves playing with his cousins but can get a bit jealous at times. November flew by. We celebrated Thanksgiving at Jenn and Keith's house. She had her place decorated so cute. The food was awesome. I am truly thankful for my family. It is so rewarding watching the babies play with their great grandparents.
I have been really busy working part time at the Dr's. office and full time doing appliques on Shirts and onesies. It is allot of work but so rewarding. Business has been good the last couple of months. Thanks to Jenn and all her teacher friends. I have been doing allot of Christmas outfits. Dad and I are going to be working on my web site soon. We well post several pictures of what I have done. I will also upload pictures to my blog of my work. Now December is here and soon it will be Christmas. I can't believe it. Then I think about next Christmas and Steve and I will have 5 Grandchildren. Can't wait .... WOW!!!!

Her mom and I have been friends for over 25 years. So yes you could say they are family. Please pray for Bill, Jamie, Nick, and all the Youngblood family as they are going through this hard time. Bill is in Neuro ICU and yesterday the news was better. They are planning on getting him off the ventilator soon. Bill is a fighter and continues to fight. Just pray for this family.

Thomas updates!!!!

2009-09-21T07:14:00.000-07:00

Busy Busy Busy as usual. July was a full month from vacation to making plans for my parents 50th anniversary. And yes we pulled off a surprise. I can't believe we did it but yes we did. On there actual anniversary I fixed dinner and had everyone over. We had a great time. Then the reception plans were in full swing. Debbie and I met on differant occassions planning the party. Mom had no idea. We had so much fun planning this for mom and dad. I mean anyone that is married 50 years deserves a big celebration. The best part of all was Vonna moms niece was able to come from Ca. Seeing the look on moms face when her and dad walked in and saw Vonna, it was pricless. We had great food and fellowship. Vonna stayed the week and yes you know it we went shopping. Fun times! It had been about 15 years since I had seen Vonna and I had so much fun just catching up. Another month is gone and you set back and think where did the time go. The end of August I started working part time for a physician I had worked for many years ago. I ran into him one day at lunch and he ask what I was doing and I told him I had started an embroidery business. He ask if I would be interested in working part time and I said yes I would love to. It has been nice working part time and being able to work on growing my business. I am hoping to get really busy over the holidays. Steve has been super busy with work. That is a blessing. It is amazing how Gods works. Steph has been substitute teaching for Everman ISD. She is also going on an interview with Mansfield to substitute and were hoping and praying this will lead to a full time teaching position. She is ready. Patrick has been working with Steve. Zach has also been working with his dad. Zach is doing good. Jenn is doing great still having some morning sickness bt doing much better. As for Brayden, Boston and Ainsley they ARE GREAT!!!! Grandkids are the most precious gift from God anyone could ever ask for. Can't wait to welcome the new ones in March of 2010. Jenn and Keith having baby number 2. Zach and Ronnie will be having a baby in March also. A first for Ronnie but number 2 for Zach. Brayden and Boston will be big brothers. I will post pictures soon. I tried posting them with this post but for reason I could not get them to load.
Love to all

Keeping my blog current!

2009-08-12T06:32:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,
I promised I would continue to keep my blog current. So here goes. Oh course as usual I have been very busy. Last week Jenn, Keith and Boston moved into there new house. So yes you guessed it I have been helping unpack and trying to get them settled in. Jenn expecting and all she is limited in what she can do. This week they have been painting. Did the house need painting probably not but were talking Jenn Borg here. Everything must be fresh. I will admit it is looking great. The colors she picked out are awesome. Once everything is painted I will take some pictures and post them. But you all know Jenn will keep everyone updated with pictures. Steve and Patrick ran a phone line last night so Jenn could get her computer up and running online. She has not been able to get online now for over a week. How she has handled that is... well what do you think. Jenn starts back to work this week and she is not ready.... This morning sickness is getting to her but she is a trooper and still gets up and gets things done. Just a little slower but that is OK. As for Steph she is continuing to apply at different schools nothing has come through yet but I know it will. God does things in his time. So please pray that she will find work soon. Patrick continues to work with Steve for now. As for Zach he is looking for work also. So pray!!!!!! I am continuing to build me new business things are slow but coming in. I love it. Making things for other people are so much fun and then seeing the end product that is rewarding. Well I will close for now I am on my way to the auto store. Yep my car needs new brakes. $$$$$ It is always something.

THE BIG MOVE

2009-08-02T19:06:00.000-07:00

While on our vacation Jenn and Keith sold their house and the offer they had put on a house to buy came through. I told them that going on vacation with Grammie and Paps was good luck. So once we returned home they had lots to do. Pack, clean and get ready for the move. They will be closing on their houses this week. By the weekend they will be all moved in their new house. So as far as tomorrow goes Steph will be keeping Boston and Mom and I will be helping Jenn clean the new house. Jenn and Keith are so excited about their new house. We all are excited for them. Boston is confused on why mommy is taking everything off the walls at his house. He is not sure what is going on. He will find out soon enough. Bless his little heart.
Until the next time,

July

2009-08-02T18:12:00.000-07:00

Well July has come and gone. The 9th of July we took a family vacation to West Palm Beach Florida. All our kids and grand kids were able to go except Zach. We had a great time just doing nothing. Brayden had the time of his life. Steve, Steph, Patrick and Brayden went deep sea fishing. They caught bunches of red snapper and Steve ie... Paps caught a shark and Patrick and Paps tried to pull it in but after 45 minutes the line broke. Paps was very disappointed that he did not even get a picture. One other scary fish they caught was a huge barracuda. All in all they had a great time. Jenn, Keith and I and the babies went shopping for the day. I had the babies and Brayden's picture taken by the sea. They turned out awesome. Still have not received them in the mail. When I get them I will post them. The babies did not like the sand AT ALL!! I will post some of the pictures. You can also look at Jenn's blog at www.theborgbrood.com or Steph's at www.thehoulihancrew.blogspot.com
and see some cute pictures of the babies.

Summer Happenings

2009-08-02T16:32:00.000-07:00

Where has the time gone. I know I continue to say I will keep my blog current and once again it has been almost 2 months. Starting where I left off in June. As most of you know Steph and Patrick and Ainsley moved here to work for the lady that I had started working with. Well that all went by the way side. She (I will not mention names)did not pay rent or utilities on our office site and she did not make payroll. So yes Steph and Patrick are here and Patrick is working with Steve. Steph has taken her test to get her teaching certification. She passed and now the process has begun... Looking for a job. She is applying at several school districts to teach high school science. Please pray something will come in before the new school year starts. If not she will substitute until something comes through. So please remember all of us in prayer. It is very close quarters in our house right now. But it is just temporary.
As far as my business things are a little slow but that is the way a new business is in the beginning. I have great hopes that it will flourish in the upcoming holiday season. For those of you who are unaware of my business well I have started a Embroidery business. I will post some pictures of what I have done. Please contact me if you need something. 817-233-0308 Melinda at Simply Stitched Embroidery
If you know anyone needing embroidery or monogramming please give them my number.

If anyone knows anybody that needs monogramming tell them to give me a call. I think this new endeavor is going to be awesome once I get the software mastered.
OK I know you all want pictures. Well here they are.

Lily's Birthday

2009-04-24T10:19:00.000-07:00

Well for those of you who do not know. Lauren Youngblood had baby Lily Ryan yesterday at 1:57 pm. She weighed in at 7# 1oz 19 3/4 inches long. She is so precious. I don't think Peggy's feet have touched the ground yet. There is nothing like being a grandmother. Words can not describe the unconditional love you have for grandchildren.

On another note things are starting to pick up with our new business Paladin Prepared. For those of you who do not I will be teaching CPR and first aid to local businesses, day care centers, churches etc. I am very excited about this new endeavor in my life. I also hope to have my embroidery business open May 1st 2009. So for those of you who need any embroidery done you now know who to call.

Ok as for pictures here are a few of my precious grand babies.

Too cute for words

exciting happenings

2009-04-17T09:48:00.000-07:00

Not quite sure where to begin but here goes. As of March 29th I became unemployed with the physician in witch I was working. That very same day I got a phone call from a friend that on several occasions has wanted me to come work for her. She is an entrepreneur of several small businesses. I will be working with her as her office manager and I will also be training CPR and first aid. The business I will be working for is Paladin Prepared. Also I will be starting a business called Simply stitched Embroidery. I have always wanted to do this and the opportunity has come up and I am going to jump on it. Of course the girls are excited because they will have access to the machine. So my life is a whirl wind trying to get all these new things going. As for pictures yes I do have some new pictures to post I will try and get to them this weekend.

Update......

2009-03-18T16:18:00.000-07:00

I know it has been a while. I have no excuss except I am tired when I get in from work. Alot has gone on since my last post. Jamie Youngblood is now Jamie Scarpello. The wedding was very nice. Then Boston's 1st birthday. It was great! Jenn had a petting zoo in her back yard leave it to Jenn. The weather was great could not of been better. He that is Boston finally decided he would start experiencing walking after many bo boos on his head he is doing much better at walking around. It is sooooo cute to see him walk. I have not seen my precious Ainsley since Boston's party. It is so hard not to see her. She is getting so big and adorable. Steve has been out of town for about 6 weeks and believe me it is getting old. But we have to pay the bills. He is on his way home as I am writting this. I expect him sometime after midnight. He is so ready to see his babies. Brayden is playing Tee ball. His first game is next week. We will see how that goes. He tends to get a little board waiting his turn. By the way Lauren Youngblood is due to have baby Lily in about a month. We are all very excited!! Peggy can't wait to be a new grandmommy.
I will post pictures soon promise..
Love you all,

Grandkids They R so Awesome

2009-01-12T16:50:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to share a little about you guested it my grand babes. Brayden was over Sat night and Sunday he walked in my room and said Good Morning Grammie with that beautiful smile of his. That is what I look forward to when he is over. He always comes in and says Good Morning usually followed by Grammie cook me some breakfest. He is the sweetest little guy. Don't get me wrong he can be a toot when he wants to. Then there is Boston that smile of his will get you every time you see him. That smile will melt your heart. Believe me he melts my heart all the time. Last but not least my precious Ainsley. She has the most beautiful eyes. It hurts because I don't get to see her as much since she does not live in Fort Worth. I miss her sooooo much!!! Every time I see her she has changed. Steve is in Conroe this week and yes I am a bit jealous. Because he will say guess what I am doing holding my grand daughter. Oh by the way she has two new teeth. I will see her in about 2 1/2 weeks when they come for Jamie's wedding. I can't wait.
Love to all

Holidays 2008

2009-01-04T18:00:00.001-08:00

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone's holidays were as awesome as ours. Everyone was here at Thanksgiving but Brayden. Then came Christmas it was great the only ones missing were Steph and family. Steve's sister Debbie and her two boys Phillip and Galen came to spend the day with us. It was great we have not spend Christmas with them in several years. I think we had 15 or 16 at our house that day. Family is such a wonderful gift. The weather was so pretty we took Brayden and Boston a walk in Boston's new choo choo wagon. I will have to say grandkids make the holidays so much fun. Boston came dressed as Santa and as always looked so precious. Someday he will look back and say Mom what were you thinking.

The day after Christmas we had another great day with family. Steph and Ainsley came the day after Christmas, Patrick had to work. That day Steph had requested Mimaw cook her some fried chicken and mashed potatoes. So you know Mimaw she cooked and cookec and cooked some more. The Youngbloods came over that day also . It was great it felt like old times. We got to see Ryan for the first time in a long time. He was so cute playing with Boston and Ainsley. Poor Jamie she was sick and unable to come. But like I said we had a great time. Having most of the kids together now that they are all grown was a awesome.

Here are a few pictures from the holidays. Once again for some reason I am unable to upload pictures after posting one picture I could not upload any more. I will try tomorrow. I promise!!!

Love to all,

I am back!!!!

2008-12-01T17:11:00.000-08:00

Well hello everyone. Not sure where to begin. We made it through halloween. Boston was so very cute. He was a little elephant, Brayden was the incredible Hulk, and little miss Ainsley was a catapiller and a little pinguin. They were so much fun to see all dressed up.

Steve and Zach took Brayden deer hunting for the first time and he was in all his glory. That is all he talked about and still talks about.

Mom(Mimaw) and I went to Conroe a couple of weeks ago to keep Ainsley so Steph and Patrick could go to New Orleans for their anniversity. They had a great time but missed the baby greatly. Mom and I also had a great time keeping Ainsley. We went shopping and dressed her up just like she was a little doll. Everyone stopped us to say oh she is sooo cute. She is such a good baby. She is Grammies little chunky monkey!!!!

Thanksgiving everyone came to our house. We had a great time with the babies. Brayden was the only one missing. It was his year to be with his mom on thanksgiving. We get him Christmas. Boston would love to just get a hold of Ainsley if he could. It will be so much fun for the two of them when they can play and interact with each other. I have a feeling she will be able to hold her own. I can't tell you how much enjoyment we all get from these precious little angels. I can say we were blessed this year in every way. Yesterday before Steph and Patrick left Jenn, Steph and I took the babies for christmas pictures. Some of you will get these for christmas but I can't wait to share them. They are so precious. Enjoy!!!!!

2008-10-20T17:22:00.000-07:00

Things have been busy but it has been a fun busy. Two weeks ago Steph and Ainsley came up for Brayden's birthday. He is 4 years old, hard to believe it has already been 4 years. He is so smart, sweet, cute and just precious. I know I am his Grammie but he is pretty special. He is so happy that he is 4. The next day Steph, Ainsley, Brayden and I went with Jenn, Keith and Little Boston to pumpkin patch in Dallas. It was so much fun. I am sure between Jenn and I you all have probably seen the pictures but for those of you who have not. I will share some with you. It is so hard to get all the of the grand kids looking the same direction when taking their picture. We did get some good pictures.

Then Steph and Ainsley and Patrick came up this weekend because Aunt Denise and Aunt Debbie were in town and neither had seen Boston or Ainsley yet. We had allot of fun visiting with them. And for Miss Ainsley she learned a new trick when she was here. She rolled over from back to tummy. She is so sweet and cuddly not to mention cute as a button. As for Mister Boston he is crawling and just yesterday learned a new trick. He sat up from a laying down position. He is a big shot now.

Yesterday morning we took Ainsley and Brayden to the pumpkin patch in Flower Mound it was so much fun. Grandma and Aunt Denise joined us. I got some great pictures. I know you are all saying enough then show us the pictures. Well sit back and enjoy

For some reason I am having a hard time downloading the pictures. I will keep trying.

What A Day!!!!!

2008-09-23T17:47:00.000-07:00

Today around 12:00 I got a call from Courtney saying Brayden had fallen and hit his head. She was at the pediatrians office because he had hurt his foot over the weekend. There is an indoor playgym in the waiting room at the doctors office and he feel off the top and landed on his head. After that he started vomitting and did not stop and he also was very lathargic. The Dr. told her to take him to Cooks E.R. for a cat scan. Well the cat scan showed no bleed which was great news. But he does have a concussion. The ER Doctor told Courtney and Zach that Brayden had to rest and not be to active for 5 days. For those of you that know Brayden he is not even still in his sleep. That will be the biggest hurdle trying to keep him from running, jumping etc. So if you all would pray that he does ok this week. He is a strong little guy.

Steph Patrick and Ainsley fair the storm

2008-09-14T17:56:00.000-07:00

Well Steph and family stayed at Patrick's Aunt in Houston during IKE. Everyone made it through IKE. But the damage is horrendous No ONE in the Houston area has water or electric. Steph's house had one tree on the corner of it and one lending really bad. They have no electric and no water. This is one of the hardest things she has ever had to go through. It would not be as hard but having a little baby girl makes things really hard. Can you imagine no running water to wash baby bottles. They are still staying at his Aunt's house. She does not have electric or water either but they do have a generator running the refrig and a small air conditionor. Hopefully they will get there water back soon. Businesses are still closed and who knows when they will reopen. Steph said all the power lines are down at the camp where they live. There is no telling how long they will be without power and water. They have a well which runs on electric so no electricity no water. I would like to ask everyone to please pray for all these people in the Houston, Galveston area. And please pray for Steph, Patrick and baby Ainsley. Pray that they will get power and water soon.

Labor Day Weekend and More

Brayden shooting the bb gun

Hello Everyone,

Just thought I would give you a little update on the family. Steve and I and Brayden went to Steph and Patrick's for Labor Day. We had a great time. I got to snuggle and cuddle little Miss Ainsley!!! She is such a little doll. Brayden got some good luv in on her also. He is so good with his little cousins. Brayden also got to shoot the BB gun and a little 22 rifle which he calls his fire gun. This little guy was in all his glory. He said he was getting his practice in so his Paps to take him deer hunting. Steve and Zach will probaly take him to the hunting lease this year. He will be 4 years old on Sept. 30. Time has really flown by.

Steph and Patrick have been trying to make some major decision regarding Patrick's work. He is starting to get so much crap that the time has come for him to find something else. They were looking to move to Arkansas but it looks like that deal has fallen through. His job has taken all his weekends off and now he will only be off some during the week which means Steph will be alone with Ainsley on the weekends. So needless to say he is open to new work.

Jenn is doing good she has the classroom from hell this year. But she is good she will make it. Keith is to take a test the 15th for his new job. So please pray all goes and he passes his test. His is ready for a new adventure with work also.

Then there is our precious little Boston that is always smiling. He is such a joy.

Steve and I are staying very busy with work. And of course busy being grandparents which we truly love. Zach is still employed with J&J Supply Co. He is doing good. Brayden stays with him and us the 1st 3rd and 5th weekend of every month. That is going good.

Well I will get off my soap box because if your like me you want to see pictures.

Hello Everyone

2008-08-25T18:31:00.000-07:00

Just a short note to bring everyone up to date on the little ones. Ainsley is now 11# 12oz and 23in long. Steve and I and Brayden are going to see little miss Ainsley this weekend. Can't wait. It has been toooo long since we have seen her. I can't wait for the day that Steph says mom were moving to Ft. Worth. Wishful thinking on my part. I does not hurt to wish. Who knows my wish may come true some day. I just think it would be so much fun for Boston and Ainsley to grow up together. Speaking of Mr. Boston he is so much fun. He laughs about everything. I can't get enough love from him. I do not get to see him as much now that school has started back. But I can't complain I still see him 1-2 times a week. Wish I could see little miss Ainsley that much. As far as Brayden he is good. He acts like he is grown. He is so much fun. My heart just melts when he says Grammie you know what and I will say what baby and he says I love you. Talk about a heart breaker. He just loves sitting with his paps and watching hunting, police shows or his favorite is country fried videos. The girls and Zach are doing good but you know how I like to report on the babies. I would like to say thanks to my kids for giving Steve and I such beautiful grandbabies. They are the light of our lives. I will take pictures this weekend when we go to Stephs and I will share them with you all.

Love and Kisses,

2008-08-16T18:35:00.000-07:00

I am still learnig this whole editting my blog. Jenn has already laughed at me because I was trying to add the blogs I surf to my blog and yes I did it. I deleted the link. Hopefully I will have it back soon. Well tonight we celebrated Dad's 68 birthday which was on the 14th of August. Mom fixed Jenn's favorite potatoe salad. Boston and Brayden played and yes I did forget my camera. So no pictures. Sorry! Hopefully I will get some new pictures of Ainsley soon. We miss Ainsley, Steph and Patrick. We plan to visit them Labor Day Weekend. Well that is all for now Brayden is calling.

Steph was such a trooper when she was is labor. For those of you who do not know little miss priss was born on June 22 at 7:57am. When they were here last week Jenn, Steph and Patrick took Ainsley, Boston and Brayden to get there pictures taken. I will scan them and put them on the blog within the week promise. Boston is such a happy baby he laughs at everything. He makes my day when I see him. Brayden is spending the week of July with Zach. He is doing really well.

I will get the pictures uploaded by this weekend I promise. Mothers day was a great day, Mom, Dad, Jenn, Keith and Boston, Claude and Jeni were all over. It was Jenn's first mothers day.

Easter Pictures

2008-03-25T19:01:00.001-07:00

Hope everyone had a great Easter. As you can see we had a good one. Steph and Patrick were in from Conroe. They got to enjoy their nephews. Brayden had a great time finding eggs. Next year will even be better. We will have 3 little angels finding eggs. Everyone is doing good. Jenn started back to work this week and she is adjusting. Keith is keeping Boston for the most part with a little back up between the time he leaves for work and Jenn gets home. Steph is starting to really become tired but she is hanging in there. Ainsley is due to arrive mid June. Steph and Patrick have been working on the nursery this week. I will post pictures when she sends them to me. Zach is doing good with his new job. I think he is liking it. Or shall I say he likes having money in his pocket. Steve has started getting busy with his work. Thank God! Work is going good for me. I love the Physician I am working for. But most of all I love my Grandbabies and the time I get to spend with them. Brayden is at such a fun age. And for Boston he is such a snuggle bunny. Enjoy the pictures. Talk to you soon.

Trip to Steph's

2008-03-09T17:38:00.000-07:00

Hello All,

This weekend was kinda a whirlwind. Jenn, little Boston, Mimaw, Brayden and I went to see Steph in Conroe. Zach came down Sat after work. He wanted to make sure he got to see Brayden. Brayden loved it. He asked how come the trees were so big. For those of you who may not know Steph lives in Conroe TX with her husband Patrick. Patrick is a Ranger at Camp Strake Boy Scout Camp. They live there at the camp. They have a cute little country house. Brayden was so amazed at the lakes and trees. His daddy took him on a walk around camp this morning. Of course they didn't cover half of it. The camp consist of around 2000 acrers.

Mom, Jenn, Steph and I were working on stuff for baby Ainsley's room. It will be really cute when we are finished. Mom is making curtains, Jenn and I are working on letters that spell Ainsley's name. Once the room is done I will post pictures. Here are a few pictures of the weekend. BTW if anyone has any questions please feel free to leave a comment. I would like to hear your feed back on what I can do better or maybe on something you want to know about

and I have not posted it. I would love to see who all is really looking at this bolg. I will try and

keep everyone updated on what is going on with our family. Remember leave me a commet.

I am going to be changeing the look of my blog soon. Still the same name just a differant look.

He is such a cutie pie. Yes he looks just like his daddy. Jenn is such a great mommy of course we knew she would be. Brayden does pretty good with him. I am going to get Brayden and Boston's Easter picture taken in a couple of weeks and I will share it with everyon. Steph is doing good also. She has another sono next Friday. Her and Patrick are getting very excited. Mom and I are going to see her next weekend and help her with the nursery. I will update again real soon. Here are a few new pictures.

Update on Boston and some new pictures.

2008-02-11T16:44:00.000-08:00

Little Boston is doing great! He had a little set back at first but now he is doing great. He and Jenn had an appt with the lactation consultant last Friday and Boston had lost down to 6#13oz. Jenn was then told to supplement with 1 oz of formula after each feeding. Well that is all it took. He went back on Sunday for a wt. check and he was back up to 7# 5 oz. Jenn was told she could stop the supplements unless he was not satisfied. Mom, Dad and Boston are doing good. He is sleeping well at night. Steph was in town this last weekend to see her nephew. She is now 22 weeks pregnant. Her sis did fill her in on what to expect when she goes in labor.

Brayden is doing good with Boston. He just wants to touch him all the time. He keeps asking why Boston is so little.

"Delivery"

2008-02-06T18:11:00.000-08:00

Ok for all of you who want details. Here goes... I will say I am getting way to old to stay up all night. Jenn was scheduled for induction at 10pm Monday night. After arriving at the hospital they were told to wait in the waiting room because the hospital very busy. Finally they got in a room around 11pm. She was started on pitocin and after about 30min to and hour Boston was not liking what was going on so he thought he would make sure everyone was on there toes. He had a d-cell which means his heart rate went way down and even off the monitor. So things got kind of K otic for a few minutes. Jenn was started on oxygen and the pitocin was stopped so Boston could recover from his set back. Around 3am they started the pitocin back up. Boston did fine this time. Jenn was doing great until around 7am then the pains got very intense. She got her epidural around 7:30am. Thirty minutes of intense pain was enough. She then felt great. Around noon we went (as in me and family and friends) downstairs for lunch. Then we let her rest. I checked on her around 2pm and she said the nurse had just checked her about 15min before and said she was at 4-5 cm and it would probaly be 4-5 more hours before she was completely dilated. But when I asked how she felt she said she was having alot of pressure. I said then they need to check you. She said well I was told it was just because he was moving down the birth canal. She then got this look on her face and said mom something is happening I feel so much pressure. I said let me get the nurse. She wanted me to wait a minute then she changed her mind real soon. I then went out and told the nurse she was having severe pressure and the nurse said that was normal. I said I don't think you understand the pressure is very intense and I think she should be checked. The nurse said ok, and went to check on her. She then checked her and sure enough she was competely dilated. Those nurses think since it is a first baby that things will not happen that quick. They then got her ready to push and wanted her to do some practice pushing to see how well she could push. She did great the Dr. then arrived in her room and she pushed for 45min and Mr. Boston arrived in the world at 3:24pm. A picture of perfect health. Jenn and Keith were so excited to become parents. I heard Jenn at the door say I did it I am a mom now. That just brought tears to my eyes. I can't tell you how special it is to have your little girl to become a mommy. They are all doing great.

update on Boston's arrival

2008-02-04T19:40:00.000-08:00

Tonight's the night. Jenn goes into the hospital at 10pm to be induced. I know it seems strange to induce at night but she does not care she is ready, and a little nervous. The hospital is very full I think that is why they are doing it tonight plus her Dr. is on call. I will update when he arrives. I will take lots of pictures... go figure Grammie take pictures. I will try to post his picture tomorrow sometime if I am not to tired.

Update on Jenn

2008-02-02T11:44:00.000-08:00

We are still waiting for little Boston to arrive. On Friday her b/p was still elevated so he put her to bed most of the time only up around 4 hrs. He said he didn't think she was getting toxic he just said she is a little person and he is going to be a big baby. So Monday or Tuesday will be the day he will induce unless she goes before then. This weekend is going to be very long because Jenn is not used to being confined to her house much less her bed. Peg and Jamie took her dinner last night and Steve and I will take her dinner tonight. Keith is still working nights. Brayden took her tulips last night and she liked that. He (Brayden) just lights up the room. He says so many funny things. Last night Jenn showed Brayden one of Boston's Tony Romo jerseys and Brayden went in the bathroom shut the door and put it on. It was helarious. Kids do the darnist things!

Jenn's Dr. appt.

Jenn had her appointment today her DR. was out sick. She saw one of his associates. Her b/p was good. He said her cervix was about the same 2-3 cm dialated and 85% thinned out. He told her that was great for a first time mom. Her also said he did not for see her making it to her due date. She ask how big he thought the baby would be and he said about 8 1/2 lbs. So maybe we will have a baby this week.

Jenn's Dr. appt.

2008-01-25T12:06:00.000-08:00

Jenn had to go in this morning for her b/p to be checked. It was elevated and she had to stick around until it would go down. Her B/P would go down when she layed on her left side but back up when she sat up. So the Dr. told her know work today and to take it easy this weekend and he would see her on Monday and if still elevated then he would make a plan on what to do. I will keep everyone posted. Were hoping this will be the weekend because her sister will be in town.
Talk to you all soon...

Sono and Dr. news

2008-01-21T16:11:00.000-08:00

The sono showed Boston to be around 7# 6oz aready. "YES" he is ready to show his presence or I should say his mommy is ready for him to come into the world. She dose not want to birth a 9# baby. Dr. Howell said she was 2 cm. diatated and her cervix is 80% thinned out. He said that Boston had also decented down more into the birth canel. So some regular contractions could definitly move this process along. Her B/P was a little elevated so he will be watching that. I will keep everyone updated on her progress.

2008-01-20T16:57:00.000-08:00

I forgot to let everyone know Jenn has a Dr. appt tomorrow and a sono to see how big Boston is getting. I will update when I know something.
