Happy Birthday Sister Dear

 Carla Elaine Crenshaw Adams

The poor middle child of our family of 5 children.

We had a birthday lunch with her yesterday at the Seasons of Japan!

Twas a fun good time!

She was in town for a Dr.s appointment.

Good timing Sis.

 These are Carla's daughters. Anna is the youngest and Jami Olivia is her oldest.

 Our baby Brother was in town for work and was also able to join us too.

This little GREAT niece, Reagan, was so excited to have a party. 

We went shopping at the Dollar Store and she and her sister picked out Auntie Carla some pretty funny gifts. Carla acted like they were the best thing since white bread and the girls really got a kick out of her opening her presents.

 You recon we are all related with these cute freckled faces!

 Both Reagan and Shelby with their Great Aunt Carla.

And then the two of us.

The oldest and the middle sister.

(I'm looking and feeling tired this week. Just been one of those crazy busy weeks)

On a different note:

Our sister, "Sissy",  Clarie Leigh passed away 6 months.

Her passing has left a void in our hearts and our family.

I still have issues with the way her funeral went down.

If you were there you might know what I am talking about.

Longest funeral ever.

And her father in law gave the concluding talk and didn't speak about her but gave the longest talk about her husband THAT IS STILL ALIVE!!

 If I even think about it much I get bitter feelings.

So I try not too.

Oh well, whatever!

 

I would like to wish you all a very safe and Happy 4th of July weekend!

Smiles!

So I try not to think about it.

Me, the Dancer

That's me on the far right with my foot out and my hands on my hips.

I took my dancing very seriously.

Look at that face!

Also in this picture from left to right, standing my cousin Becky Turner, my sister Carla in the yellow and black striped bee costume, Then Iris Valentine in the middle with the pretty white hat on, I'm proud of her for wearing the whole outfit. Next is Cindy Crabtree a Friend from church and then the serious me on the end.

Sitting: We are not sure who that girl is but how come she has flowers and the rest of us don't?? I think her parents loved her more than ours did :(

And very last, the littlest one is my adorable sister Lola Jill. Isn't she precious.

My cousin Iris, shared these pictures with me on facebook a few weeks ago. Nice squat, Iris.

She couldn't remember but she thought it was me that was holding that roll of toilet paper aka muff. So she had to dig the photo out and see for herself and funny thing was it was her holding the TP.

Fun good times!

Carla and Harrison

I love this picture, I always have.

This is my sister Carla holding my first born, Harrison. Harrison was about 15 months old in this picture. I have one of Angie also holding Harrison, taken on the same day. It's a great picture too. I can't find it. When I do, I'll post it. Harrison was such a cute little boy. I've always loved Carla's perfect smile and teeth. I just love this picture!
