Snow fell then Spring

What crazy weather we have in Arkansas! We had a huge snowfall, then a few days later we were high 70's. We joined Amber's family sledding in their new neighborhood. Then last weekend we took Amber and Ethan to Wye Mountain for the daffodil bloom festival. Thank you Lord for my sweet husband, our great family and your beautiful spring flowers!

Brody and Ethan swimming with KayKay, what a fun summer we had!

2010-05-17T10:21:00.002-05:00

Love my grandbabies! Jim and I enjoy having Ethan and Brody stay with us, and play with us. We feel so blessed to have Amber,Randy & family living nearby. Dustin lives 3 hrs away (further than I would like) but we can go get our Dustin time too!

My Mother's sister, my Aunt Juanita turned 81 yrs old and all four of us sisters attended her birthday party. Aunt J looks a lot like our Mother. So looking at her picture is a little bittersweet, since we lost our Mom just 2 years ago. Aunt J is the only sister left, and is having health problems. All our spouses and cousins were there so we took several pics of the whole group, and enjoyed some good family time. Thank you to Lauren, Tyler and Rose and those who helped. AJ is still living in her own home and looks like she is being well cared for, and that means so much to all of us. Happy Birthday Aunt Juanita!!!

Ethan spent New Year's Eve and Day, with me and Jim...... Randy and Amber spent the evening with friends to celebrate the new year. Ethan, KayKay, and Poppa celebrated New Years Eve shooting fireworks in the driveway. On New Years Day we spent hours playing with my new Lincoln logs (they gave me for Christmas) We combined them with the set given to my kids by Mema and Peepaw Johnson. We still have the original logs, and also the original tinker toys given to my kids. Ethan loves building with the logs, but he also enjoyed knocking our log house down, then, of course we had to build the house back again! We loved it.

My daughter Amber is a very loving and giving friend! She is always doing special favors for family and friends. We spend many hours together playing with Ethan, eating out at Mi Rancho, and just hanging out. Amber, is also a loving compassionate Mom and Ethan is a beautiful reflection of her love.

2009-12-30T23:50:00.000-06:00

Our family gathered on Christmas Day 2009, at our home. (Dustin, Amber, Randy, Ethan, Jim and Kay) Ethan opened his gifts first, then we had a great meal, and then we all opened more gifts! The big hit was a Wii game that Dustin picked out for Amber and Randy!

Our Grandson Ethan will be 4 years old in February 2010, and he is the apple of our eye! He keeps us excited, seeing things through his young eyes. Amber and Randy are expecting another baby boy in March, and he will be named Brody. We have a wonderful son-in-law, Randy, who works for an IT company. Amber and Randy live nearby, so we are fortunate to see them often. We also have a wonderful son, Dustin, who lives about 3 hrs away, but comes home often enough to keep his Mama happy! Dustin is busy working in the IT field, and recently moved into his own home. We are so proud of our children, and thankful they are happy and doing well. The Lord has blessed us with a loving family, health, happiness, and many wonderful memories. What more could we ask for?

My playmate, my grandson Ethan. We have so much fun playing in the dirt, planting, raking, anything outside. Ethan loves to help his KayKay, and I love to play with my Ethan. Sometimes we let Amber, Randy and Jim play with us too!

2008-09-25T20:48:00.000-05:00

OK - this is not really me and Jim.....but just give us a few more years. haha

This really is Jim at Sliding Rock - he made many trips into the icy cold water at Sliding Rock.

Jim and I had a great vacation in Aug 2008....Sightseeing in the Smoky Mountains, beautiful mtns and waterfalls, shopping in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, a couple of days on the beach, attending the Bristol Nascar Races, and more sightseeing, shopping and eating. We even went to the Dixie Stampede! We also tried indoor skydiving, go-cart racing, and slid down a huge flat rock into freezing water at Sliding Rock. What a wonderful trip and special time together. Thank you Jim!

Grandson Ethan and PaPee Jim are best buddies. Ethan is already into extreme sports.....anything that has a loud motor. Notice his elbow guards and helmet. He is ready for anything!

Of course, Jim wanted to take a boat ride too, so Ethan let Jim get into his new boat.

2007-04-02T19:10:00.000-05:00

Ethan took Amber for a boat ride in our pool yesterday! Like his Mommy, Daddy and Grands, he is definitely a water lover.

"I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee, won't my mommy be so proud of me."

2006-11-01T11:46:00.000-06:00

Ethan took us Trick or Treating last night. He was a Baby Bumble Bee and Amber his Mommy Bee. They were precious, except Mommy Bee's leggings kept sliding down to her ankles! HaHa! We got the giggles and Randy thought we were crazy! We have neighbors who decorate more this time of year than at Christmas so it was quite a sight to see! Jim and I gave out candy until 7:30pm when he realized Diancing with the Stars was on...and I can't miss Mario dancing so we shut off all the lights and hid in the back of the house with our TV.

2006-11-01T11:27:00.000-06:00

Jim and I went to Pensacola Beach on Thurs. for 3 nights with the owner of the company. I did not know him, but before the trip was over, we discovered we had gone to Garland Elementary at the same time. He was in 3rd grad when I was in 1st. His name is Larry Reynolds. Ann, do you rememeber that name? He moved away 2 years before we did.

Anyway, we had a great trip, visited the Naval Air Museum and piloted the simulated Top Gun fighter jets. The wind and rain were brutal, butfinally on Saturday the Sun came out and we went sightseeing to Destin and the outlet mall. Our fishing trip was cancelled due to high waves again. I guess it just isn't meant to be. Our last 3 trips to the gulf have been grounded due to storm and waves. Oh well, we still loved the getaway and getting to know Jim's boss and his girlfriend Kelly.

My Grandson Ethan

Has anyone ever seen a more beautiful and tranquil sunset? The pond and sunset are literally in their backyard, so Ethan, Amber and Randy get to enjoy this scene almost every day. Last night I strolled with Ethan while Amber went to her ladies class meeting. This sunset was awesome for me because I saw it through the eyes of Ethan. Thank you Lord for our grandson Ethan, he has touched our hearts in such a wonderful way!

JUST-A-SWANGING!

2006-10-04T22:11:00.000-05:00

Ethan loves to swing with PaPa and Kay Kay on our front porch. It calms him when he gets tired and sometimes rocks him into a slumber. It calms Jim too, now that I think about it. Grandchildren are wonderful!

Biloxi Trip - Before Katrina

2006-09-09T13:23:00.000-05:00

Dustin and Ethan are great Buddies! Ethan is a lucky little fellow to have Uncle Dustin as his entertainer, Uncle and friend.

Dustin is back at Fayetteville for his last semester. We miss him! Jim and I went to Fayetteville on Tues morning and stayed the night. We ate out with him for 3 meals and then on Wed after lunch, I bought Dustin a new comforter, sheets and lamp and set it all up - He crawled under the covers and told us it was time for his nap! So after several hugs and goodbyes, we took the hint and headed home. As Jim drove home, I snoozed like a contented baby.

2006-08-31T22:24:00.001-05:00

Jim bathed, fed and put Ethan to bed!

2006-08-31T22:24:00.000-05:00

Jim gave Ethan his bath tonight at Amber's house, then gave him his night feeding before putting him to bed. He has been a very hands on PaPa, just as he was a hands on Daddy! Amber loves to watch us play with Ethan and we love to play with Ethan. He has two sets of doting grands. Randy's parents kept him last night while they went to a movie. Jim and Ronnie (Randy's Dad) spend part of every conversation bragging on what they did with Ethan recently. It get's very competitve sharing one little grandson!

The Day Before my Last Day of Work

2006-08-31T21:48:00.000-05:00

Friday is my last day before I go on leave from work! I am so ready to be a housewife for a little while. I know that I will need to start looking for another job soon because of health insurance, but that's OK. I plan to go by and spend with Mother at the NH each day and make sure she is well cared for.

Tonight after work, we watched Ethan crawl for the first time! He warms my heart every time I see him. It stirs those memories of when Amber and Dustin were babies. I kept him all day on Sat. while Amber took their SS class to the lake. He did great and I loved every minute of it.

2006-08-12T22:04:00.000-05:00

Ethan and KayKay

2006-08-12T21:54:00.000-05:00

Amber brought Ethan to my office last week and they made my day. I wish I could spend more time with Ethan and Amber. He is growing so fast!
