Be careful what you wish for

This is the view outside my front door. So our home has had

leaks every since it was built. About 41/2 yrs ago. Most homes

in this neighborhood have issues. Frustrating but you take the

good with the bad. Anyways they are finally getting to it. I have

longed for a day when it rained that I wouldn't have to open the

coolers in the garage to collect the rain. Finally they came about

3wks ago. Took off the siding put plastic up and that has been all.

Dont know when they will return. However the potty house came

last week so I assume they might be here anyday.. It will be nice to

finally have it done. Hopefully before it gets to hot as the front windows

are of no use to us now.. Apparently I must be desperate for a blog as

I am outside taking pics of outhouses. Enjoy your evening.

This and That

Oops posted twice. She loves her pretties as she calls them.

Does'nt look to thrilled?

She loves her purse from Penny!

Mikhail and Noah getting ready to go out. Cant believe they

are both 21 now.

I was annoying him by following him around taking pictures.

I was also giving them lectures on the dues and dont's of going

out. As you can see I am up late wondering how they are doing.

They were meeting up with their cousin Lacey who turned 21 in

Jan, Mikhail in April and Noah Tuesday. Noah is suppose to help

in the yard tomorrow. We shall see how he is feeling! Enjoy the

weekend.

I Desire

These are more pics from Easter. I desire to

scrap book some of these. She just makes my

heart melt. She is just learning things so fast.

I took her to the store yesterday and ran into

my mama.. She still has not figured out this two

grandma thing. She doesnt quite no what to do when

I say there is grandma. She sure knows that when

we go in the store she yells cookie and we have to go

to the bakery first so she can get her cookie.

Congrats to Juliet who won the baby Idol contest.

It has been fun to follow this contest through.

Guess American Idol has a winner too! I haven't watched

it for a couple of yrs now. Well enjoy your day. Off to work.

Last Day To Vote

So today is the last day to vote for baby idol. I really am not

taking this is seriously or spending as much time on it as it seems.

Just having some fun. So I realized I hadn't posted Londyn's Easter

photos yet! I can't believe I hadn't done that yet. So I will post

more later. I love all of them. Jenny you are amazing. I cant wait

to come see you again. We are going to do some outside shots next

time. http://www.classycaptureblog.com/

Thanks for all the votes yesterday and responses on email. Here is the

link one more time. http://kduk.com/pages/main

Well I think it is the last day but it did appear you could vote tomorrow.

Who knows
Do you ever feel like you let your kid down. Well I sure do! Most of the time

I feel like I just ---- on Noah. Yesteray was Noah's 21st Birthday. And of

course it down poured all day. The gift we got him wasn't campatiable

with his i-pod so we have to return it. He got stung by a bee in the jeep

on the way to dinner. He is allergic! What was a bee doing in the car?

I gave him medicine and of course it knocked him out. Guess he will make

up for it with his buddies this weekend. It is a new day and I am thankful

for it!!!!!

Happy 21st Birthday My Son

Wait is that a beer in your hand.

You werent 21 yet?

I know you are going to hate

me for this!

I am sorry these are all sorts of sizes that is what I get

when I wait until almost midnight to find some photo's.

And what I realize is I need to take more of you. When

you were little I use to find pictures of you wrinkled up

behind furniture. Yes Noah I found them. Anyways I cant

believe you are 21 already. Where did the time go? I hope

you have a great day. I love you so very much. Looking

forward to a nice dinner out with you. And yes I am bringing

the camera..

Happy Birthday!!!!

Baby Idol!

Random Stuff and a fettish for pillows

I love this store it has become a Saturday day thing to do.

I love the packaging on everything. I like to try something

different each time I go in. I love their cards too! These

Sesame Crepes were really good at $1.99..

So Penny, Jordan and I got up at the crack of dawn and said

rain or shine we would go hit some garage sales. They had

the Lexington Estate garage sales this weekend. We had a

great time. I will spare you the pics of Londyns cute clothes

we found. But I love old things and this caught my eye. I think

it will hold my jewelry.

This cork board frame came from a Vintage shop. But I

think I am going to start making them for gifts. What a fun idea.

So a few weeks ago Doug said why do we have to

have all these pillows. I love them and since he said

that I have brought like five of them home... It was a

great day and I also found curtains for my room and a

brand new curtain rod for the curtains at the next sale.

For under $15.00 for the day it was worth it..

I ran into a friend Jamie. I use to work at her at the scrap

store it was so good to see her. I hadnt seen her since the

shop closed. I also ran into Heidi and her mom and I know

they read this so Hello to you both. So good to see you.

And Shanna my purse lady who reminded me that I have

been very neglectful in my purse fettish..She makes the

cutest bags. Cant wait to catch up with her soon. Well

I need to post recent pics of Londyn soon. She is so amazing.

She went potty in the big toilet today again. I was in line at Michaels

today and I was holding her and a lady behind us sneezed and

Londyn said Bless you. It was the cutest thing. I also said today

"How is my Shugs" and she thought I said how old are you and she

said one and held up her finger. So smart. I love her.. Have a good

night. Off to bed.

Things that make me go Awe!

I think this is a cool idea.. I have considered doing something
like this. But probably wont so I will admire from far..

These people must not have kids with sticky fingers or pets?

I love aprons and these colors. Maybe if I

really start cooking meals every night I could

start collecting these.

Miss you Friend

This is a good friend of mine named Wendy. We worked together at
Izzy's until she was smart enough to move on. (he he). Anyways we
stayed connected and she was so excited when I announced I was to
be a grandma. Now I get to share the same for her. Her daugther
Amanda is having a little girl. Wendy is an amazing cook. I hope as
soon as I get her permission I can post a link to her fabulous blog. I was so
excited to see her on mine and run across hers. She has lots of recipes
that are to die for. She has a wonderful family. Miss you!!
I forgot to mention that she gave Jordan's baby shower for her and it
is something I will never forget.

Miss My Fam

If only I could go back to laying on the beach and relaxing.

Did I say relaxing? I forgot what that is!!!

My sister my best friend. I love you Pen.

I sure miss all these girls. Life is so busy I think I have

seen them once or twice since we came home in Feb.

Since then my niece Mary has moved to Seattle for a

new job and gotton a year older. Happy Birthday Mary.

Just going over pictures this evening as I think

about the scarp album I want to start and the

pictures I want to develop. That is all for now.

Enjoy the rest of the week and goodnight.

Addicted

Is this one of the cutest yet? I love my scentsy!!

Is it wrong to have 7 full size warmers and two

plug ins? Penny is still a scentsy rep if anyone

would like to order.. Seems like all I do is empty

and fill my warmers. Life is rough. Went to bed

with windows open and woke up to the smell

of fresh rain...

Mother's Day gift to self/ Gammy's Big Girl

This little topairy I found at the new Vintage
Market that opened downtown on Friday. I
think I was one of her very first sales. It is
a cute store. I think it is going to go on my
front porch.

Couldn't help myself I loved this old shabby
chic radio. The radio is no longer in it but I
will someday have a scrap room and this will be
in it. My family says where are you going to put
it? As you can see I crammed it in.


The picture really doesnt show it that well but I got a great
deal. She wallpapered the back on inside, and then painted
it. It has really nice knobs on it as well. To much work for
me. Had a good day Saturday. Went to Albany and Corvallis
Saturday markets and more little shops, had lunch, made it
to Costo to print photo's for my moms m-day. Got a gift cert
ificate from my kids for clothes. And then I bought my goodies
at the vintage store. Worked all day Mother's day but it was okay.

Getting into Mommy's work..

Getting Gammy's room spray. She is a very busy girl.

When she puts her mind to something she does it. She broke

herself of the bottle one day. Cold Turkey. And for several

days she says potty and goes to the bathroom. Jordan hadn't

bought her a potty chair yet that was on the list. We take her

in and take the diaper off and she will sit and smile but nothing.

Today she went potty for grandpa and then later in the evening

she did #2 for her mama. Wow what a big girl. Not even 16 months

yet. So proud of her. Her mom entered her into a baby contest,

one of the radio shows and they had over 700 entries. She made it

to the top 50 and now you can vote every day for a week. I dont

know all the details but you can bet I will vote. Jordan's best friend

Kelsey's son made it too. Well off to bed. Enjoy your week.
