Time for a much needed update!

So what’s been happening since our last post. well

Our newest Granddaughter has arrived : Brianne Margaret Ruby Wallace was born April 1st at 10 pm weighing in at 7 lbs 1 1/2 ozs.  She is adorable of course  have been so bad for updating this site, I guess now that we use Facebook all our new pictures get put on there and we forget to come update on here.

After weeks of rain the sun is trying half heartedly to shine, would be a great day to hang all this bedding out on the line that I’m washing, except for the fact it would be red with dust and grim if I did that, they are working on our street here have been now for almost 2 weeks!! I’ll be glad when they are done, I’m so tired of hearing all the buzzing, and beeping and crashing and banging of the big equipment out there EVERY day.

Brookie loves her baby sister very much.

Brookie is becoming a “big” girl she is pretty much potty trained now and doing GREAT !!  We have always praised her a lot when she went potty now when she goes on her own she’ll ask us.. ” Are you so proud of me?”

She is a real ham most of the time. always laughing and carrying on

Karla is doing a 1/2 birthday for her this weekend, its so hard to try to get all her little friends together at Christmas time so we thought why not do her actual party in the summer and let them all play outside with the pool and swingset and all that good stuff. And more of her friends can come since they aren’t all going places for Christmas.

Wendell celebrated his 50th birthday yesterday,  I got him an E-Reader that he had been looking at. I got one a while back and I love it!! so nice to have this nice little light thing with litterly hundreds of books in it rather than trying to get comfy in bed with a heavy hardcover book!

Karla goes for her orientation this month for corrections officer, she is so happy to be starting up in her field of work, hopefully after she gets going in that job she will be able to move on to Group homes for youth which is where she really would like to work.

Kevin and Shan arrive home today they are coming home for the weekend to get some wedding stuff done up. So they will be here for Brookie’s party as well.

not much news to report, we never did get anymore painting done to the house, we have to get at that again when we get back from our trip the end of this month. We still have all of the downstairs to do.

My Flowerbeds are in terrible need of some TLC but again hopefully next week I’ll be able to get out there and get them all tidied up.

Here are a couple pictures I did up using my Scrapbooking Boutique program that Wendell got for me.

We will try to get on here and update on a regular basis!!

Thanks for stopping by!

few more before and after

We are slowly getting the painting done, taking our time once the upstairs is complete the downstairs should go fairly quickly.

Brooke was here a couple times this week she is such a joy to have around. and yesterday right after she went home I got to spend an hour or so with my 2 grandnephews, they are just so sweet. Such good little boys to look after.

Jake and Logan playing with Uncle Wendell. Logan took a real shine to Uncle Wendell and was having a great time being bounced on his knee.
