babies-babies

Blair and I jumped in our cars and headed to Boise. We were hoping to make it this time for the new arrivals. Jenny is in labor with our precious twins, so we made it. Last time, she had Maili in a half hour, so we're hoping for a little longer with twins. Everyone should have babies as easy as Jen. Maybe not quite that easy but Becky (daughter n law) is so miserable with her pregnancy and it was 26 hours to delivery Aralynn, who was suppose to be a boy. Catch ya later with an update.

Spiderman

How's this for cute? I opened the door and there he was holding his Elmo bucket with mom and dad hiding in the background. He knew he was the hit of the night. What a kid.

Having to say something of some substance everyone can read is scary. I've been busy doing what I can to stay busy. Just waiting to get THE phone call to go to Boise for Jen and Brandon's arrival of their twins. Pam is going to have to keep me centered , focused or whatever so I can be a help not a pain in their butts. Pam is so focused on what needs to be done and behold, it gets done. I just sort of run in circles and make more work for everyone. I've been making quilts for the grandbabies. Brittany had a pieced a levi quilt that I took apart and made smaller so her nieces and nephews could each have a quilt. I made journals for babies and a wedding one for Brittanys friend who is getting married. They are fun and fast. See ya later!

Poor Farmers

It's 11:00 pm and the farmers are still outstanding in their fields. Harvest is a tiring, stressful time for us. Blair, Joe and all the crew are still working. Trying to get their crops they have worked so hard all summer, in the potato pits or warehouses. I feel guilty when Blair comes through the door, so tired and has to get up and do it all over again the next day, and the next. It will be over soon, I hope. Snow will fall and then they will pace the office wondering what to do with themselves until spring comes and it it time to do it all over again. My hats off to all the farmers in America.

One of those days!

That's all I got today. More to follow.......

Snow is a four letter word!

I was in Boise, visiting and when I got home. Boom...we are hit with snow. The cold and wet stuff that slows down my driving to a dangerous snail pace. The fireplace, fuzzy socks, sweaters and heated carseats have become my new best friend. I have so many projects to do before my 3 new grandbabies come. I'll just hunker down and stay in where it's warm. Blair and everyone are trying to get the potatoes harvested . It's a stressful time for all of them. It's kind of like having a baby. You plant, water, give nutrients, continually watching them grow and get ready to pull them out of the ground and put them somewhere they will be safe. Only difference is, we sell to the highest bidder. Brittany, Jared, Chance and Joe had birthdays not very long ago. I'm glad they were born. Colters b-day {Brynne's boy} will be 2 on the 27th of this month. So much to do, so little time. See ya

I'm pumped and ready!

I woke up today and decided if anyone was going to improve my quality of life it would be my face looking back at me. I went to the park and walked around TWO times. I whoosed out at one but my body just kept on walkin'. My weight is getting higher the same as my age(maybe a little higher) but I'll be damned if I going to be bent and feeble at 29. ha-ha. I have a great family who is depending on me for whatever reason,just as I am depending on them. I am seeing my bros and sisters decline in health and years but I choose to go the other route and look at my kids and especially my grandkids and hold on to the young. I will grow old,while hopefully trying to stay as young as I can. I might not walk tommorrow or ride my bike but I will have a good sense of what direction I want to take.
I am making seasonal pillowcases for my grandkids. The ones I'm working on now are for Halloween. Then I will make Christmas ones. Every year they can put on their cases and dream of spooks, goblins and Trick or Treating. When Christmas rolls around they can dream of Sugar Plums Dancing , magical elves, Santa and snow(yuk).
