40 weeks and a new baby!!!

I'm working on more pictures for this post but don't have them ready yet so I will just put these for right now. Check back later if you want to see more of our latest little adorable grandbaby girl!!

39 weeks

Week 39, of 52 weeks, Mom in the picture.

I am not at home on my computer, so don't have access to my 52 weeks button. Also I can't get this computer to do what I want exactly, so my pictures aren't in the order I wish. Ah well.....

I am at my daughters house for a couple days this week, helping her get some cleaning, organizing & de-cluttering around the house before the baby arrives! We're pretty excited, and getting quite anxious to meet the new baby! Today is Jeanne's last day of work, and that's exciting too.

Maybe, maybe by next week we'll have new baby pictures to post? but in the mean time, here is me with Jeanne, our oldest, and baby to be, their first.

Jeanne is 39 weeks along this week too, how fun is that?!

She was the first....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEANNE!!
We'll always be there for you!



This is going to be a wonderful year--LPN grad--New baby!! So much to look forward to! HUGS!

Something I missed.....

on my list of 25 things about me I posted on facebook.
Goodness, my life is just so exciting, here I am with a new post every day!! LOL!!
Three, going on four!!!

Happy Birthday Lori!!-Aug 7

Jeanne with her Aunties. We missed those that weren't there! (I'll post more shower pix soon)
I couldn't find a recent picture of just Lori to post, so used this one just taken Saturday at Jeanne's bridal shower. It's one of my favorites taken that day. L-R Gay, Cyndie, Luanne, Jeanne, Lori & Elaine.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORI!! SO GLAD YOU GOT TO COME, AND IT'S FUN TO HAVE YOU HERE IN TOWN FOR A BIT!

What we're in the middle of.....

The "problem" with loving to create......
How can you buy something when you can make it?

Shower invitations... made by my very talented crafty neice Raimie
Flower girl dresses...sewing by my very talented seamstress Mother (She got all 4 of them put together except zippers & hems in 4 days after I got them cut out for her)


The wedding invitations & card inserts inside....These were mine and Raimie's brainstorm, coupled with Lynisha's talent on the computer & Thanks to joint effort of my sisters, niece & friends coming to my house helping me assemble them.

I did get the envelopes all addressed, filled and in the mail this week.
Today is Jeanne's shower, and promises to be a crazy fun filled afternoon/evening!
Other activities this week included having my grandaughter Kyrie here all week, my husband & oldest & youngest son gone on a job accross the state, a birthday party for my two youngest daughters with 5 other little girls, a shopping trip to Grand Island Friday afternoon after Jeanne, Lynisha & Trey got here for the weekend, and a 4th birthday party (Fancy Nancy/butterfly) for my great neice Felicity with a whole flight of other little girls (maybe 14??) They all dressed up as butterfly's, and it was quite a party! I'll have some pictures of that later next week.

In the blink of an eye...

January 29--Happy Birthday Jeanne!!

I bet you all just think our life is one big party around here! One birthday after another. Well, that's pretty true (The birthday part, not the party!)

Thanks for being a very easy, wonderful "oldest" child in the family Jeanne! I'm sure it hasn't always been easy, the eldest is the one that parents really get to learn parenting skills on! You were very patient with us.

Here's to "The next 30 years"!!

A new beginning!

We're really going to miss Jeanne, but we're so happy for her! Last week she applied for and immediately got hired for a CNA/MA position at the hospital in Sidney NE. She left with a pickup load of her things today, and starts work on Monday. She's always shared an apartment, or lived with someone else all the time she was in collage or working then when she was done with the last nanny job, Grandma J asked her to move back & live with her so she's really looking forward to actually having her own place! She's looking forward to being close to Kyrie & Trey, and I'm sure they'll enjoy having Auntie Jeanne there too!
