Happy Birthday Heather

Had a little family get together for Heather's Birthday and it was a bring Heather's favorite dish buffet. It was great with a variety of food and all diets were put on the back burner for the evening. There was enough food for days later but it was still just as good. We had a pretty good turn out there was Clyde, Denise, Devin, Ashley, Scott, Derrin, Makiya, Mojo, Robin, Dominic, Emma, Alayna, Melinda, Madison, Hashbrown, Jodi, Samantha, Allie, Zannon, KyLeigh, Nicole, Kalee, Britenee, Demitrius, Isabella and of course Me. WOW, I hope I didn't forget anyone.

Forget the traditional cake in the face, Nicole waited until Heather had a bowl of ice cream and then smashed it into Heather's face. We laughed until we had tears because it caught her so off guard. It was great.


Heather and Devin definitely looking like sisters. It is amazing how much they look alike with all the changes they both have made in their lives.

Heather showing off her new style with Aunt MoJo. They both are looking great these days. Love ya

Denise and Devin showing some love. She has to take advantage of it while she can cuz unless Devin is in front of the camera this isn't happening often. Only kidding.


Denise and Devin were quite excited to see Poppie and needless to say he wasn't sure who he wanted to go with he just new he was loving all the attention!!

And you know what one of the best parts of the evening was watching how many it took to put together a simple computer chair for Heather. Let's see Clyde, Jodi and Zannon started then Dominic got into it for a couple of things and then you know at the end the kids had a great time sitting on it and spinning in circles. But, I don't think that it was still put together properly, however, it serves her purpose so I guess it will do. Happy Birthday Rae.

Happy Birthday Abby and Gilberto

My goal for 2010 is to try and remember to acknowledge all my loved ones throughout the year. With either a phone call, e-mail or with the younger ones trying to get a special birthday card in the mail to let them know I was thinking about them on their special day. Well, so far so good. And in return I received a really special card of my own. A great big thanks to Charity and family for the special card. Sure did make my day. Love and miss you guys so much.

Keep Her In Your Prayers

Aunt Tina was really in rare form today when I visisted. Uncle Bo had said something and she stated that she would slap him if she could get her arm up there. So he offered to help her by lifting it up to him and the smile that it brought to both was priceless. I can't believe how peacefully she is accepting that her time is near and talking about the party she is going to have with those already gone.

The Package Has Arrived

I will post more on this when I get back home but I just wanted to show what the package actually had in it and boy was I off with my guessing. I love you Big Sassy One and really appreciate the little silly things that you do and your thoughtfulness.

Anticipation Of A Package from Big Sassy One

Ok the Big Sassy One has put the challenge on!! She has gotten the excitement of receiving a package in the mail with the curiousity of what is in it going. She has indicated that it is in a medium size parcel package that the post office provides. She has challenged me to try and figure it out before I receive it with a limited number of clues. There is something translucent, this I think might be some of the goody bags that you put special treats in; cranberry red is something to do with the old fashion red hots that we had as kids; icy blue cough drops; cotton candy pink stuffing for a valentine pillow; red on white material for the pillow; brunt orange with lots of creamy white a pair of footies.

For the record this is really difficult because I have the package sitting right here in front of me and I promised not to open it until I finished this post. Therefore, I am going to sign off with this one and I will update in a few with the real contents revealed. Love you but you know how hard this is for me.

Most Special Christmas Present

Finally, had the opportunity to put up my most cherished and special Christmas present of all. This plaque honestly says it all and let me tell you they still struggle over who is going to be next to Nana or who is going to sit where on my lap. I really dread the time that they think they are too big for Nana's lap. Thank you Heather, Demitrius and Isabella for something so special. I love you guys more then you will ever know.
