Weekend Update

This weekend was my time to scrapbook.  I am working on my LIW trip.  I ran out of printed pictures so thats my goal before next month.  I am already into the second book.  I have a feeling it's going to be 3 albums.  Well, IT was a trip of a lifetime.

 

A wonderful group of crafty ladies!

The other day I saw these crocus's popping up in my yard.  Made me so happy. 

This morning they are blooming!  So pretty.

 

Today my lovely daughter in law had dinner for us at her house to give me a break.  It was so sweet.  I really appreciate her thoughtfulness.

This is what we found when we got there.  Drummer napping and Bella gaurding him. 

Heir and Buster and Heir's friend.  She seems to like us but is very quiet.

Skater aka Duck Dynasty..

Princess doing hula for me. 

Our ink all healed up!  MUCH better.

Thank you so much Heather for dinner! 

That was our day in a nutshell.... 

Have a blessed week.

Peace

Brotherly Love

My brother is very talented.  Last year I made a flippant remark to him and he listened and made me something...  My pictures are at the bottom.  Anyway....  My dad had to deliver some meat this week and he brought a surprise for my sister and her partner.  We waited with excitement for them to get here.  The first 2 pictures are in the wrong order and they won't stay changed... so anyway...  My brother Steve made each of us girls a handmade chest.  They are beautiful and smell wonderful! What a wonderful thoughtful gift he gave us. 

 

Chrissy looking in hers.

 

 My niece and Chrissy and Wendy waiting to see what is under the blankets!

The girls and their trunks.

Chrissy started crying here....

Then I flipped it over to see what he wrote to her, then she really started to cry. 

Then when I did the same to Wendy's we all were crying.  Hers is signed too, it's #9.

The fronts.

 

 I didn't post about mine when I got it.  I asked for mine for my scrapbooks. 

I should have just let Steve pick the size, it's almost full already.

The front of mine.  They are so beautiful and I am every so thankful!

Thanks Steve!

Pressing Question

 

 

Why is bra a singular word when we have 2 boobs and why is panties plural when we only have one yoni?  Just curious.

Weekend update

This week seems to have flown by.  Bugs got a hair cute, a MUCH needed haircut.  I had the grand kids on Friday for a while.  My sister and her family came over for the day.  We had a yummy dinner and played a new to them game and I made them go walking with me.  It was good day.  We went into the Super Bowl not caring who won but by the end we did and were happy with the results.

 

Bugs "before"

Bugs "After"  Much better!

Monkey and Wendy and Chrissy playing Pente.  The little bugger actually won once.  He really got the goal of the game. 

I had to make jam today.  This bowl had 10 cups of sugar in it when I sat it on the stove and turned the wrong burner on.  I about cried!  Wendy helped me clean it up and salvage what we could of the sugar and I finished the jam.  Only me....sigh

On Friday when I had the kids Princess came in wearing her last years Easter dress.  One cannot be over dressed! She loves to dress up. 

Blogger won't change these around and I just don't have it in me to fight with them any more... Wendy and Chrissy and I playing Pente.  I think this was one of the ones I won.  It really is a fun game.

Princess and Buster.  The cutest kids I know!

I hope you have  a blessed week.

Peace

 

It has been a tad hairy

We have made it through another week!  Everyone was here for dinner tonight.  Heir's hours have changed for work so he comes right from there.  It was just a relaxing pick up stuff kind of day. 
Now that we all have the wrapping off we did a group picture of our tattoo's.  Mine is red because I'm fair skinned.  There isn't any red ink in it.  It will be cool when they are healed.  Not to painful today.

Here is the 4 of us all together. It was a very good day.

  The girls were in need a new tutu's.  So this Nana got them some!  Princess wore hers for dinner.  I didn't get her picture in it!  Dang it.  She is so cute! 

I had my hair done this week.  When she was done I asked her to braid it instead of styling it.  I just wanted it out of my face.  She asked if I cared how.  I said NOPE have fun.  So she did.  I love the flower at the end.  She was really fast too. 

By the end of the day I was getting a headache from the braid though. It felt good to take it out. When it was all out it felt like I had had a spiral perm.  I thought, Oh the 80's called, they want their hair back.  Well that was my day in a nutshell.  
I hope you have a blessed week. 
Peace

A little bit of ink....

When my Uncle Brownie passed away in August one of the first thing the boys said when we got home was they wanted some kind of tattoo to honor him.  They loved him so much!  So we looked at all his badges and patches and I let them pick the one they liked best.  We saved and made plans.  Today was the day. 
Off we went to see Phil my favorite artist.   

 

T2, Skater, me and Drummer.  Ready to rumble!



 



Skater was so zen and relaxed.  He picked a very painful spot!







Blogger isn't cooperating on this!  Those  up there are wonky and out of order!  You get the drift!

 

 The boys all got the same tattoo but in different places.  Mine doesn't have the writing.  I love that we all used the same picture.  I loved how Phil shaded them.
I was glad to have shared this day with some of my boys.  Uncle Brownie was loved beyond measure and is missed every day.  He was a hero to so many!
Peace



Weekend parties and a bloody paw

My sister had a birthday this week.  We went to her house for cake on her actual birthday.  She wanted us all to go out on the weekend.  So we did!  Chrissy wanted to sing Karaoke.  She sang 3 songs.  She has a beautiful voice.  It was nice to hear it again.  It's been a while.



T2 and Kevin playing pool.  I think Kevin won this one.


Chrissy taking aim.  She was playing against Dh.  He beat her soundly!


Drummer and Dh playing.  He soundly beat Dh.  Who is not a very good looser.

 



I was trying to write under each picture but Blogger hates me. It will not let me move things. It's so dang frustrating. We had a great night out. I always love the chance to hang out with my family. The bottom picture is Rescue Rita. We hadn't seen each other much and we went and got our toes done today and had some lunch. It was cold and foggy but we made it just fine. I talked Dh and The Littles into going for a walk tonight. We took our 2 fat dogs with us. Walker was barely moving when we got home. He also had a bloody pad. Dh put something on it and wrapped it up to stop him from licking it for a bit. Poor old man. I had Walker at the vet last week and he weighs 119 pounds. The vet would like him to be at 90. Well we are trying. Scout is a bit fluffy too. LOL actually she is just fat. We are bad pet owners. No treats no table food. We can do this. We all have our goals for this year eh?!?!
The second picture from the bottom is Heir in his grandpa's WW2 bomber jacket.  We were talking about cool coats and I said something about the bomber jacket that Bugs wore for Halloween and heir said WHAT??? So Dh got it out and he put it on and just kept saying Man this is so slick!  It needs some leather conditioner on it.  It was really cool to see him wearing it.  Dh's dad was taller but not very big.  I love it when we have something our kids think is cool,  See kids, we weren't always dorks!
I hope you have a blessed week
Peace
