Isabel is hereeeee..!!!!

Welll my baby girl did it.. and boy did she do it very well.. April gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Isabel Elizabeth Linley and are you ready? 9lbs 8oz 21 in long Whew what a beautiful healthy baby, i cant wait to get to Illinois and snuggle them both, i miss all my babies and grandbabies. My daughter and son n law did such an amazing job and I am so very proud of them for gifting me with another granddaughter.

I was talking to my oldest son last night and he said hey mom guess what sienna said?  He was laughing so i knew it was going to be a sienna classic and boy was i not disappointed.. He said she came up to him handed him the baby and a bottle that she had previously been feeding , and said " Dad you need to feed this baby because i need to go to work" I busted out laughing,  she is such a funny little 4 yr old..  I will be in Illinois for 5 wonderful days getting all the kisses, hugs and snuggling i can handle.

Is it February 10th yet?

Still a fan..

Well another season has begun..  American Idol starts tomorrow.  I have been a fan since episode one many years ago, i never miss a show.  Alot of people feel like the show is washed up since most of the original judges moved on.  This is how i think about it.. Saturday night live changes cast members every few years and most of them move on to bigger and better things, but millions still watch the show every weekend looking for that next new comedian, change is very important, we all change.  I am going to be sitting in my living room tomorrow night just like i do every January picking my favorite contestant to cheer on.  My mind will be open to the new american idol , I am super excited to see how its going to move forward..

I love modern technology..:D

Saturday night started out like most saturday nights ..josiah watching football, me in the kitchen or changing something around lol..when i get a phone call from april... She said hey mom jonnie wants to show you and josiah somethingand we have to get around the tv.. lol  Ok so we turn the ps3 on and there is jonnie in his living room LIVE!!!!! it was the best present i could ever ever get...let me explain a bit more.. 

When we were trying to figure out what we wanted for christmas from the kids we all do the same thing. i dont know... anything will be fine..but this year i happened to see a PS3 moves, which basically turns your ps3 into a Wii, i loved the idea of finally having something like a wii that worked with the ps3 and not buying another system.. I know i can skype but the difference of sitting in front of the 50 in tv and a computer monitor was really a no brainer.. lol

When we went to Illinois for christmas my wonderful children bought it for us..Ok back to my point.. hehehehe  The one thing i miss the most is seeing my grandchildren grow, pictures are great and i cherish every single one i have, but to see them and they know my voice is priceless.  I can turn on my ps3 let them know i am there and watch the baby play, talk to the baby, see my beautiful children being parents..I am sitting here crying just knowing this is a possibility for us..  

Being so far away from your children and granchildren is very hard, but now thanks to modern technology, my wonderful techi son n law, this is about to be a thing of the past.  I called my oldest son Nathaniel and told him to please get one and we can all talk together.. Ok to sum it all up Saturday night was Amazing.. :D

Time flies

Well i guess i will have a job for a little bit longer, my 90 days are up.. Yesterday my boss asked if the other employees thought that i should stay and they agreed.. It was to cute the way everyone acted all well if we must, but their smiles said otherwise.. It feels good to get up and go to a job everyday where the people you work with genuinely like you and care about your input about what will make the job go smoother for all .  I have truly been blessed with meeting all these wonderful women.

ringing in the new year..

Well another year has begun.. Saturday we went to a New Years Day gourd dance in McCloud and had a great time dancing and visiting with friends.. Three sisters have put this dance on for 15 years and sadly this year was the last time for them to put it on.  Our friend Earl talked to Josiah and said hey we need to pick this up and do this dance, well the wheels started turning and it looks like the dance will continue with the help of alot of good people..So next New Years Day somewhere in the state of Oklahoma this dance is going to continue. We are very excited to be a part of it and get to work with some good friends.  Wow looking at our calender and it keeps getting more dates that we are committed to.. lol Thats ok we love being involved in any way we can. Here are a few things that are going to happen in 2011.We are on the countdown to our new addition to the family and very excited to meet our new bundle of joy, I know April is ready for this all to be over and meet her child..Sienna is going to 4 years old in a few weeks and growing like a weed. Josiah is having steroid injections in his vertebrae in January and ready for all of this to be resolved. Dustin has asked Kelli to be his wife on Christmas eve so officially she will also be a new member of the family .I hope the new year brings us all together throughout the year and not just holidays.  Till next time everyone have a great day... :D
