Spring Fever

It was a beautiful day today, we all have spring fever and want to get outside. So that's what we did. We had to take it all in because tomorrow and the rest of the week it's back to winter! YUCK!

It's also time for Bryson to get here. We are trying to speed up the process just a little bit because she is ready......


She called and wanted me to bring Kya & Ryver over and she'd take them riding around the orchard on the riding lawnmower with the trailer on the back. Pretty redneck huh?? But it was bumpy and so off she went......


We took them to the farm and they saw the pigs, turkey's & horses......

And then we just hung out and enjoyed the sun!!!


My handsome son-in-laws who we love so much!
They're the best!


Now lets hope we get a baby here real soon! We are READY for this little dude. My prediction is April 1st!

Kadee & Bryson's Baby Shower

On Saturday we had a HUGE shower for Kadee. Since it was given by both sides of Kadee's families, we held it at the church.

Kya was our greeter! She waited outside until the party began to greet the guests!

Kara was especially excited for her sisters baby shower

We had huge support from family.........

My Aunt Dorothy is at every function showing her love for family....

Cousins always there......

This is my niece Tara and her son Jakob. Jakob was born at 24 weeks gestation. He is truly a miracle. He weighed a mere 1 pound 14 ounces at birth and was about 12" long. He will be a year old on April 1st and now weighs 15 pounds. He is soooo darn cute isn't he!!

This is my other niece Steffanie and her daugther Shelby. Shelby is another miracle. She was born at 27 weeks gestation, weighing in at 2lbs 11 oz. and about 12" long. Shelby is now 11 years old. Aren't we thankful for the little things in our lives and a loving Heavenly Father???

This is Blakes sister Sarah and her newest baby Owen. Sarah and her mom helped throw this shower for Kadee. Thank you sooo much Sarah....I love your guts!

And good friends there to share our day....Gayle Davies and her daughter Tiffany

Old neighbors and good friends Alice Black and her daughter Whitney. Whitney and Kadee clogged together when they were little.....ALWAYS TAKING FIRST PLACE IN COMPETITIONS OF COURSE!

One of Blakes buddies gave a special gift for Blake....a pink dress for his little boy. He message to Blake...."Like father...like son".......

Kadee got lots and lots of gifts to welcome Bryson home with.

.....and this isn't even half of it.........

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! IT WAS A SPECIAL DAY! NOW WE ANXIOUSLY AWAIT BRYSON'S ARRIVAL.....My guess is April 1st!

Cat Nap???

Aunt Cathy and Ozzy having a little snooze........
He just makes himself comfortable where ever he wants!

Grandparents Day

Yesterday was Grandparents Day in Kindergarten for Kya! Randy and I had the privledge of going. Do you know what I found out??? That Kya was the SMARTEST and CUTEST in the whole class!!!

They sang songs for us, and then we got to do "centers" with them. It was really fun!!

Happy Birthday Kya Pearl!

Happy Birthday to Kya Pearl who is 6 years old today. Kya is very special to me, not only because she is my first born grandchild, but she was named after my mother Pearl Louise, and my great grandmother Ora Pearl. I remember when we told my mom that Kya's middle name was going to be Pearl, and she said, "Oh you wouldn't do that! It's an awful name!!" But Kara did and I know that my mother was very proud.

So Happy Birthday Kya, we love you so much!

911 What's Your Emergency?

Last night I was folding clothes and this was Kya and my conversation.....

Kya: Gramma, does 911 work on Sunday? I don't think they work on Sunday.

Gramma: Yes, they do work on Sunday Kya.

Kya: Ohhhhh.

Then the phone rings.

JoAnna: "Hello?"

Person Calling: "Hello this is 911 Operator calling, do you have an emergency at your residence?"

JoAnna: "Noooo?"

911 Operator: "Well we had a hang up call from this number and we are calling to make sure everyone is ok, and there is no emergency."

JoAnna: (as I'm looking at Kya, and she is looking back at me with her big eyes)...."hold on a minute. Kya, did you call 911?"

Kya: "Yes, but I hung up."

JoAnna: "I'm sorry I have my 5 year old granddaughter here, and she said she called. I am soo sorry, we will have a little talk!" (I wanted to say, no emergency but there will be in a minute!)

911 Operator: "Ok, can i verify this is the Hall residence? Address......" (you get the rest)

JoAnna: "Yes. I am so sorry."

911 Operator: "Ok, have a good night."

Who's Watching The Kids???

So I'm watching Gunner and Paizlie while Scott and Sammy go to a movie. I'm in on the computer talking to Kara, and Gunner was in watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I went in to check on him, and this is what I see......
He dumped out the whole bag of chips and was lounging......


Then, when I went to get more pictures after a minute, as soon as he saw the camera, he cheezed it!!!! Can't get mad at a face like that now can you???
