Taking a poll. . . your two cents will be appreciated!

Looks like we have found a house to call HOME!  In the contract exchanging stage; need to pass inspection etc. etc.  . . . Looking good thus far ~ Al and I both had "that feeling" I'm been waiting for (and KNEW it would come) and began to put the wheels into motion.  Pictures and details to follow.
I NEED YOUR HELP:  We will be buying a new washer and dryer (and an iron) so I want to know what you have; if you like (love) them and why; if you do NOT like them and why; and any and all information that would benefit one who is ready to make a purchase.  Thank you so much!   

and we continue. . . spring of 2011. . . .

Lesson learned (I hope!). . . I CANNOT do two things at the same time when one of them is blogging.

Better late than never. . . here we go ~ spring 2011

In March I took an unplanned trip to Utah to help out a bit in the Jasperson  home.  Mary Kathryn told the family she was expecting #5 ~ exciting news, however, she was having some complications and was put on bed rest ~ like she really stayed in bed!!  Fortunately I was able to fly out to play with the other 4 kiddos.  Everything turned out fine and she is 1/2 was through her pregnancy now! The following are pictures from that trip. . .

Whenever I go to Utah the girls play "beauty shop" with me and fix my hair etc.  With my hair being long they really went to town putting it up. 

Here I am with Chloe.

Smiling Chloe!  Cutie, cutie!!

Posing Chloe!



Missing my Ellie. . .

Just a quick post - can't get my pictures to do whatever they are suppose to do, so until I figure that out. . .  Had such a fun time with Ellie ~ her new nickname is "Cantaloupe Girl".  How that gal LOVES cantaloupe.  I miss waking up to her sitting at the kitchen table eating cantaloupe.  She also devoured many strawberries.  I have to remind myself that she isn't even 5 yet. . .she will be SOON, like in days, however, she is SO smart.  We had fun talking and being silly using an English accent.  Our new expression is "Oh, my silliness!". .  .and we were silly.  Now tell me how smart is this:  Ellie was playing with her plastic Easter bucket.  McKenzie had returned theirs for me to store and Ellie asked for her's - which was easy to get to.  She was so excited and picked out 5-6 shiney eggs to play with as well.  She wanted to take the bucket back to Hong Kong with her.  We took it to her suitcase and I showed her that her suitcase was full and there was not room for the bucket.  Without hesitation she said, "Oh, yes there is.  Take the clothes out, put the bucket in and fill it with the clothes.  Then it will fit."  Gulp!  She was right.  Smartie!!  From there I explained that they would be packing their things up soon to move back to Tennessee and it would be best to leave it here where she could have it safe and sound when she returned.  She excepted that.  Now, I'm a packing wizard and can fit things where no-one would expect, but a soon-to-be 5 year old coming up with this solution. . .pretty smart in my opinion!  It was a fun week.  Have pictures to hopefully post soon to prove it.  Actually, I need to post pictures from my trip to Utah in March. . . yikes!

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.5

OK. . . I'm a tad bit frustrated. . . still trying to figure out this blogging without having a complete melt down. I had saved the below blog in order to come back and "fix" some things and add a few more pictures. Well, that did not happen. One of my favorite pictures did not show up. ??? So I will add it here (hopefully). I also wanted to make a disclaimer ~ IF your picture did not show up on the blog before this one. . . I am working (mentally) on another. I have SO much respect and appreciation for all you bloggers out there. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks and I AM going to learn to do this. . . I AM!!!

Need I say more. . . I just love this boy. . . LOVE this picture
and his genuine HAPPY face.  I love you, Kyler!

Because I have been given much, I too must SMILE. . .



I ask you. . . how can one person be so blessed?  Hope you will smile with me!  

Mama Mary and Kyler. . . yes!  He really is taller than me!!
