Happy New Year

Happy 11 months old today Londyn

Christmas morning. You really started to get into the opening

of gifts. You got lots of musical things which you like to dance

to.

Where did the time go. You are so much like your mom though

You are such a fast learner at everything you do. You will

be easy to break of the bottle as that is going so good now.

You will potty train easily and learn to eat on your own

quickly.

You still only have two teeth at 11 mo old. You like to

love your baby dolls and give them kisses. You still say

baby, scruffy and kitty. You patty cake now.. You are just

plain fun.. Happy Birthday Shugs!

Still waiting to hear where are boys are at this point they

left last night for the Rose bowl and were trying to be there

today by 3:00 for the prep rally. They took a longer route

do to the pass being closed..

Happy New Year to everyone!! Be safe!!!!!!!

Road Trip

Part of the family at Christmas Eve!! Londyn was less than thrilled at this point.

Thanks Eileen for the wonderful little outfit. You spoil her.

Lastly our boys Noah and Mikhail will leave

tomorrow for a road trip to the Rose Bowl.

I am so excited that they get the chance to

go to the game. The drive will be long but I

am sure it will be worth it. Go Ducks!!!!!!

Merry Christmas from our home to yours!

My wish for all of my friends and family

is that you all be blessed with love, peace

and happiness......

Feel Good Kind of A Day

These were some more of her 9mo photos.

She had three outfit changes that day. Saving

the Christmas ones for later. I cant believe it

is almost here.

Just wanted to say kudos to Penny for

doing such a great job pulling off Tony's 40th

birthday surprise. He knew she was up to

something. She rented the Legion and had their

own bartender for Friday evening. Family and friends

he hadnt seen in a long time showed up. We had a

fun time.

Today was a feel good day. My niece Kim came over

for some help in the craft department which was no work

for me, i mean it was just plain fun for me. It actually got

me all energized to get the scrap stuff out again. After

the holidays. Hope you are enjoying the holiday season.

Have a great week.

My Christmas is filled with love from Shuggy

There are some days that are just so crazy and exhausting
and I feel beat up and so busy that I feel like I let people down
even though I do my very best to keep everyone happy. But
then I come home to this.....

Happy 40th Tony

40 WOW!!

Hope Your Day is Great!!!

Lots to Cover

Londyn graduated from her infant carseat to a big girl
car seat. We havent taken her out this week because of the
cold weather. She finally went out tonight and really enjoyed
her ride. She also cut her 2nd tooth on the bottom today.

Love them all- but love this one so much.

Although this one is adorable too!

Grandma's hands sending her on her way.
When Londyn was born I got a package

to have her photo's done every three

months the first year. It has been nice to

see her change and look back on the photo's

That is what is fun about being a grandma.

Looking back on when my kis were little I

wish I would have done this. I cant wait for

her 1st yr photo's

Congrats to Crystal. Riggs Daniel came

Dec 4th. He weighed 8lbs 7oz.

We got to hold the little guy. I cant believe I

forgot my camera.

Last weekend I spent Saturday with my sister Teresa. We

went to Salem shopping. We made our first stop at Scrap

book fever. The store is closing in a couple weeks. Had to pick

up some good deals. I never have enough you know. I just

cant wait to use it. I am so HAPPY when I get a chance to sit

at the table and scrap. We went to Macy's where I found cute $5
dresses on the clearance racks. For Londyn of course. We had a nice

lunch, caught up on life and had lots of giggles.

I got to see a dear friend at the scrap store. My friend Lisa.

These pics were taken during warmer weather of course.

So good to see you. Cant wait to see you again soon.

There just isnt enough time in the day to get everything done

especially this time of year. Be safe and stay warm.

I am truly blessed by my friendships with family and friends.

I had a very nice package from my cousin David who I met

I guess when I was around 3. He lives in Portland now and I

hope to meet him in the near future. Looking forward to this

weekend. TGIF Tomorrow.

Look for more later

My grandma asks for one more day of patience
while she trys to get her computer to work.
Thank you!! She has lots of new pics to share of
me. Have a great evening.

Happy Birthday Shugs/ Long Post

I spent the day with Penny yesterday. She picked me up
and we got good coffee's and went to Corvallis where we
went here. http://www.realdeals.net/AA/flash/index.php
We hadnt been there for awhile. Seemed like we were there
for hours. We talked and talked. Having a twin sister for a
best friend is like no other. We have our own language. We
went to the Goodwill and other places like that. We had a
great day. Thanks so much as I needed some girl time.

This wreath needs some color yet. But will add something

later.

This is probably the most I am going to do this Christmas.

I dont know what it is but for some reason over the summer

during one of my cleaning frenzy's I decided in one of the

garage sales to get rid of all the Christmas stuff. I think I

decided that it was so old and that I would buy new next time.

I hate when I do that cause I always miss something. I dont

think we will have a tree this year. Londyn is so little and would

just get into it all anyways.

This is what my house looks like most of the time. Jordan

works from home and we constantly have boxes of cards

all over. She loves her job and is doing great. What a great

thing, she gets to stay home and not miss out on Londyn.

Thanksgiving was kinda wierd this year. I worked and most

of our families were doing their own thing. I joked that we were

the misfits with no place to go. Doug's sister Norene invited us

over. She put on a feast. I see what Penny meant when she said

she couldn't wait for her dressing. Best of all my sister and brother

were there. Londyn is a grandpa's girl for sure.

Tomorrow Londyn will be 10months old already. Time flies.

Her second tooth is almost ready to cut. She has enriched my

life so very much. She must of missed me yesterday when I got

home she crawled up in my lap and fell right to sleep. No bottle

or nothing. Of course I brought her home another baby doll. She

loves them. She walkes around and kisses them. I love you Shuggy.

Have a great week. Seems like I have became a once a week blogger.
