Welcome To The World Baby Girl

Today, 4/11/13, I became a GREAT Aunt Gigi again with the birth of

 Ella Grace Vann

She was born at 2:38 pm

6 lbs 13 oz and 19 1/2 inches long.

Isn't she darling?

Her mother is my niece Jami.

(Carla's daughter and first Grandchild)

I'm doing her first photo shoot tomorrow.

I'm excited!

 

Once her 15 yr old Aunt Anna got to the hospital this afternoon

I get the above message.

It really made me laugh.

We all are cursed with these Padgett toes.

See how long!

What cha think?

She takes after her GREAT Aunt Gigi doesn't she??

 

Funny Stuff

Shelby has strep throat again and went to work with her daddy.

This is what she spent her time doing.

Trying to sale her little sister.

Her Uncle Trav found this sign and sent me the picture.

This provided me with my only laugh today.

Happy Wednesday Y'all.

Wordless Wednesday

The Thoughts Make Me Sick

Take 30 pounds of Apples. 

And a spanking new wash tub.

And a crowd of cute kiddo's and you get this.

My assignment for the Primary Fall Festival, Apple Bobbing.

My Shelby went first (thank goodness)
 Reagan is a smart girl, she wouldn't even try it.

The thoughts of apple bobbing in the midst

 of cold and flu season just grosses me out!

All those germs just swirling around and around

makes me gag. I had a hard time even thinking about it

but fortunately most of the apples had nice long stems

and I encouraged the kids to pick up the apples by the stems.

That was very easy and most those little ones

were able to do just that :) Yay!!

This is my darling DIL. She is dressed as Fiona!

She always goes all out and enjoys herself.

Sad thing is, she has a Shrek costume for

Travis and he wants NO part of it!

She's got a few more days to talk him into it.

Wish her luck!

Funny Kid

Shelby informed us tonight at the dinner table that

we weren't having hot dogs we were having "meat sticks"!

Hope you had something a little better :)

Hooked?

My brother sent this to me this morning and I thought it was cute.

New Windows

Google Image

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.

Hellloooo,...........just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!

Helllooooo?

It's been a year! I told him.

There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up. He never called back.

I bet he felt like an idiot.

I hope you enjoyed the little laugh.

Have a great day!

Wordless Wednesday

Sign on hyw 131 between Petosky and Boyne Falls, MI.

Somewhere in South Carolina

We took a little drive today over the state line

into South Carolina.

Our tail light went out again and I had to run

in and buy a replacement bulb at Walmart tonight.

Seems like we are getting good at this replacing tail light stuff.

We didn't have to buy the translucent tape because

the cover was not broken the blinker bulb blew out.

Any who,

I was at the right place at the right time AND

had my camera!!

Ran right into...

this

Shreck!!

Yeah, and it isn't even Halloween.

I was nice enough to ask if I could take his picture.

I've tried twice to upload it on to

peopleofwalmart.com

but it wouldn't let me.

I'm going to try again in a little while.

Have you ever been to that web site?

You can really see some strange stuff so check it out sometime.

Okay, carry on with what ever you were doing

and have a happy weekend!

Peace out!

Yeah, Right

Reagan told me last week that she loved her puppy so much.

I said, you do?

She says, yes. I. do!

So I ask her when she is going to take her puppies home to live with her at her house and

she says, Cinco de Mayo!!

I'm like, What did you say?? (mind you, she's 3)

She says it again,

Cinco de Mayo !

I ask her where she got that from and she said, Dora,

as in Dora the Explorer!

Gosh I just can't wait until the 5th May !

(really the puppies are just fine and growing so fast and they are trained and they play really well with that Boo Dog)

Cha~Ching!

I think that when you find money in the

washer or dryer that it is your little reward for doing the laundry?

Smile!

Normal Person?

The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," I said "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No." said the director, "A normal person would pull the plug.

Do you want a bed near the window?"

Snuggies for Seniors

Kristina is doing a great fundraiser!

Check out her blog and see if you can help too.

You can also click on the above picture

to take you right to the donation page!

Remember this snuggie?

I never made it.

When Boo Dog is cold he just uses his daddy's, the Sweetheart's Snuggie.

And as much as he loves his Snuggie,

and she loves her Snuggie!

Don't you know how much Seniors would love to have their own.

So if there is any way you could help Kristina with her fundraiser

then PLEASE Do!

Redneck Seafood Dinner

I'm still laughing about this picture.

By brother just sent this in an email.

I just love it!!!

Is This You??

My First Excuse

Going Somewhere?

We went to the beach last weekend for Labor Day.

I picked up my suitcase from the back of the play room.

It felt heavier than usual for an empty suitcase.

I opened it up and to my surprise this is what I found.

Someone had packed it for me.

Inside I found, Ernie, two blankies,

a sock monkey, a black stuffed dog,

a baby crib sheet, two pairs of size 2 panties,

1 wash cloth, 3 socks (none of which matched)

and a coon skin hat.

Funny thing is that I never missed any of

these things and I sure wouldn't need

them at the beach.

But it was the thought that counts right?

Emergency?

A few weeks ago we were out for an evening drive.

We needed a diet coke and the closest drive through was the Sonic.

This is what we saw as we rounded the building.

The sweetheart never really has any patience

for this sort of thing. He's like, what are these idiots doing?

Well, they had broken down in the drive through lane.

They had the hood up and were working

on trying to get it started.

All of a sudden they all jumped in the ambulance and took off.

They never did get anything to eat.

I wonder did they get an emergency call.

Good thing it cranked.

Thank you to all our

Military Personnel

and their families!

Our prayers go with you.

Happy Birthday Mama!

Even found a little

time to have a

pedicure.

How do you like the new

color of polish I found?

Have a great week!

Tall Tale

The 4 year old GRAND~girl's teacher

quit the first day of May.

(She was a great teacher, the kids miss her.)

Instead of hiring a new teacher for

the last 4 weeks of school they've

asked one of their part time teachers

to step in and help.

Mrs Dottie who is the 2 year old's

teacher on Tuesdays and Thursdays is

now teaching the 4 year old M-W-F.

I pick the girls up on Tuesday

and Mrs Dottie and Mrs Audrey

ask me if Harrison has a pet snake.

I say "no." and they are a little

shocked. "He doesn't have a snake

about this long?"

holding out their hands about

2 feet apart.

Um "No".

They look at each other and just

start laughing. So they proceed to

tell me that as they discussed pets

in class the day before, the 4 year

old told them that her daddy had a

pet snake. The snakes name was

"Chandler." When Harrison goes

hunting in the woods he catches

small white rats to feed the snake.

Now the child has a great imagination.

And apparently she is a very

good story teller, because both of

these silly teachers believed her story.

I had the 4 year old yesterday

afternoon.

I ask her about her daddy's

pet snake, Chandler.

Walking away from me, over her

shoulder she doesn't skip a beat

she says, " oh, he died!"

End of a 4 year olds story.
