Family and Friends

Today we went to see my brother-in-law . He is ill but looking VERY good these last few days which is wonderful and a great reason to smile!

And then the proverbial stick your tongue out at your wife picture! At least Dave got out of the house. Something he never does anymore.

Partying like I am seven!!!

Happy Birthday was said and sang for the last time in my immediate family until May when my young one, Hunter, turns 22.
The big day today belonged to my first born grandchild Jeremiah Lee. Although his parents are no longer together, (my  2nd born son Travis, being the father) this is a small town and we are all still very close. Cory, (Jeremiah's mother) gave Jeremiah a little baby brother named Aydan Alexander just a little bit over 3 months ago. Her and her boyfriend have moved in two doors down from me.

I am the mother to 4 sons, therefore I have seen 4 children be born, but I got to watch Jeremiah be born, and it is a whole different case scenario watching a birth when you are not the one in the "drivers seat" and the whole thing was pretty amazing. Today I got to be a part of Jeremiah Lee's 7th birthday party!

Another Jeremiah Lee and me picture that I think is adorable. The photographer of these pictures was Sierra Jeremiahs Aunt.

 

A little horse play for Jeremiah and I. Always nicer to have that being done in someone else's house, LOL!!!

  

One more of he and I,

 

And the birthday boy Jeremiah Lee with some big, big bucks!!!

I have said it before and I will always say it again,

Being a grandma ROCKS!!!

Happy 7th birthday to my Jeremiah Lee!

 

How much is that doggie in the window? Day 38

Today, as I take this picture of my dog looking out the front window, I can not help but think that looking at him is how I am feeling inside today. As if I am in the inside looking out. Waking up this morning to a bitterly cold house, (the temperature really dropped last night) my heart was cold also knowing my young one has moved away. I know I have to get over this and come to terms with the whole idea, but I am allowing myself this day to sit on the pity potty and feel sorry for myself, just for today.

Like I said above it is bitterly cold and we are suppose to get a storm come tomorrow. I am not ready, I am not ready for the cold!

This is where my dog "Buick" sits when ever we are outside or leaving. He lays on the windowsill faithfully waiting for our return.

Lassen Countys newest Resident! - Day 32

Today I sniffed full baby diapers, I was blindfolded and told to search for safety pins in a bowl of rice, I ate 5 different types of baby food. Sounds lovely doesn't it? Well it was. It was the mother to my grandson Jeremiahs baby shower. Boy things have changed, especially those games! They took candy bars and melted them into diapers and then heated the candy bars in the diaper with the microwave . Then they were passed around to all of us as we "inspected and smelled" these diapers. Great picture taking material. This was all in honor of Ayden Alexander who was born in Lassen Banner Hospital in Susanville, Ca. in Lassen County.
My grandsons new baby brother!

 

Myself and Jeremiah and his new brother Ayden

I do not know the name of the girl on the left, but the girl in the middle is Tommy Jean and next to her is Angel .

These are some of the ladies playing the game where they are trying to find safety pins in rice. If you think for one second this is an easy feat you are so wrong!! As you can see it brings a lot of smiles by those watching the person trying to do this feat!

Mommy "Cory" holding her new son and looking a little tired as all new mothers do

This is Cheryl, Corys mom and the only other "old lady" at the shower other than myself.

  

And one last picture and it was taken by Jeremiah, of his mother, his grandma, and his new baby brother Ayden!
