This & That and a prayer request.

I don't have time for a longer post, but wanted to show you a few pics of Kynlee, our newest grand baby.  She is such a pretty baby. Sure wish I could get my hands on her and give her Nanny loves and kisses. They live in Georgia.

Here is all 4 of the kids, Sunday morning, in Mom and Dad's bed.. I miss those days when the kids would run in and climb in my bed with me.

I do have a prayer request. My Aunt Jean, who lives in Alabama, she will be 80 next month, has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. She has had a couple of chemo sessions, but has decided to live the rest of her life the best she can, with Uncle Frank, so she has stopped the chemo. My cousin said the tumors were the size of 2 fists. This woman is such a wonderful woman. Without her and my Uncle Frank, I doubt I would be alive today, as they rescued me at the age of 9. That's a story for another time, but I owe my life to them, as well as my sister Susan (RIP) :(

Here is a pic of Aunt Jean!! I love that lady. She is my Dad's sister.

Here she is in the hospital. Please pray for her to be as pain free as she can be, and to have some time left with my Uncle Frank. Uncle Frank is 85 and a retired Church of Christ minister.

A pic of Aunt Jean and Uncle Frank. Such wonderful, God loving, giving people.

David made the fur babies some home made treats tonight. We are going to start making them. They are cheaper that way, and much better for them. So much on the new's about dog treats killing dogs, that we decided to make our own.

Here is a pic of half the batch. The dogs love them!!! We are going to try all kinds of recipes.

Well, I best go. It's going on 4AM, and I need to try and sleep. I am trying to do better blogging!!!

God Bless~

Never Forget :(

I will never forget that day and what I was doing, and hope no one ever does. It's the 11th anniversary of that day, and I remember it like it was yesterday.

God Bless America!! 

Pray for the families of those who lost their lives that day.

God Bless~

They live in Georgia, so not sure when we will see them :(

This is grand baby number 16 for David and I together. This is possibility the last one, as we think, all the kids are done now. Who knows although.

Needless to say, it's been a very exciting day and quite a week. I will go into more details at another time, as I don't want to spoil the feelings of this blog.

God Bless~

Yep, a post!!! Full of pictures!!!

**** If there are typo's please forgive me, I tried to use the spell check, but boogers it wouldn't work!!! I proof read it, but it's 5:32 AM, and I haven't been to bed yet... LOL..****

Here I am, 3 months later...LOL.. I am alive, some times not to much, but I am OK.

1st is GOOD news! They have granted us a re-modification on our home, so we are NOT losing it, not right now anyways! Thanks for all your prayers on that, as I know it helped.

We are trying to re model it some, as we were afraid to do anything to it, until we knew. They put a new roof on a few months ago, which is paid for through insurance. Our roof was very damaged in a bad storm, and have been waiting to see what the mortgage people were going to do, as the insurance check was made out to us and them. The new roof and gutters look nice. I don't have a pic yet with the new gutters, as it was a month later they replaced those. Also that big front window was damaged also, and will be replaced in a week or so, all paid for through State Farm :)

This weekend a friend of ours is putting in laminate hardwood floors for us in the hallway, living room and dining room, and tile in the kitchen and main bath. The main bath now is carpeted. UGH!!! We will keep carpet for now in the bedrooms, as we can't afford it. We used David's profit sharing money from Walmart he just received for this, as well as a friend is doing it cheaper. I will take pics and share when we are done. Can't wait to get this stinky, ugly carpet up!! The doc has told us we needed to do this for David's COPD. I hope it helps him. 

We also have added some cabinets in the kitchen. We have bought a few on Craigslist and some unfinished ones from Home Dept, that we refinished. Excuse the mess, as we were still working on it. If you can tell, I adore roosters!!! I LOVE them!!

All those are new cabinets!! I had so little cabinet space and counter top space, now I have more!! We still need to put new counter tops on the other counters in the kitchen that match these. It's so much more a workable kitchen now. We still have more plans down the road, as we try to save some money.

The dogs are doing great!!! We love them so much. Cookie has really filled out and she is so sweet and happy. 

As far as my health goes, I am OK. I am having some stomach issues with the gastroparesis, and my pancreas seems to have quit making enzymes, so the doc has put me on some big time enzyme pills. So far so good. If they don't work, it's back to the gut doc to see what else can be tried. I also saw my eye specialist yesterday, and she thinks I have had a small stroke, as the left eye isn't dilating like it should. The right one is fine, but the left is always way larger than the right. That's just one theory. My pressures (Glaucoma) is doing good on the 2 different drops I am using. I have some catarats, but not bad enough yet for surgery. :) I am having some strange things happen, like last week, my left leg was numb and hurting, and this morning I woke up and can hardly walk, as the legs so tingly and weak. One day, I hope they figure out what is going on. I am still using my insulin pump and love it. Just keep me in your thoughts and prayers, if you will.

The grands are doing well. We have # 16 coming on September 6th. She will be named Kynlee Faye. She is the 4th child to my step daughter Stephani. She will have 2 boys, 2 girl's!!! I will share pics when I get some. Can't wait!!!!

My oldest grandchild Taylor is a senior this year. Here is one of her senior pics. She is so pretty, smart and talented.

Here are Carrie's kids on the 1st day of school for the 2012-2013 year. She has a senior, her first child and her last child in kindergarten..LOL. With 2 daughters in 4th and 6th grades in the middle.

Here's Taylor.. Senior.. 12th grade.

Morgan  6th grade

Sydney  4th grade

Cooper   Kindergarten

   My oldest daughter, Aubrey, her 3 children on 1st day. They live in Mississippi. Matthew, Dominique and Briannah. I believe Matt is a junior, I do know that's right, and Dominique is in 5th and Briannah in 3rd. I believe that is correct. Hard to remember all the grades...LOL

Stephani's 2 oldest, Skylin, 1st grade and Jayden, 2nd grade. I believe. They live in Georgia.

My son's son, Brice isn't in school yet, but here is a pic of him. His parent's are getting a divorce, so please pray, Brice will be OK. They are sharing custody. Makes me sad, but things happened, and my son needs out of that relationship. 

Here is a pic of Brice and Jeremy, when they came to Ohio in July. They live in Arkansas.

 I don't have 1st day school pics of my step son's 4, but here are some recent ones.

Miranda 12years old.

Arryssa, 8 yrs old.

Kirra  6 yrs old

Daniel  3 years old.

They are all growing up, way to fast!!!!

Well, I am sure I could write more, but to those of you who read this much, thanks!!! I imagine I have lost some of my readers, as I am so bad at blogging. Some times, I feel that I am boring to y'all, and don't have great things to say, so I don't blog. I once again, will try to do better. I will not promise, as I hate to not keep promises. Please know that I love you all!!! If you were here, leave me some love please. I wish you all a great day and a great early fall. Was that a HOT and DRY summer or what? ACK!!! I love hot, but this one was extreme, and my body didn't like it at all!!

God Bless~
