Minie Cooper

2010-10-05T13:00:00.000-07:00

Yes, Grammy B and Bumpa went for a Saturday stroll and past the pet store. This poor little kitten was calling out to Paul. Paul opened the cage and handed me this little kitten. It immediately stopped crying. Paul looked at me and said, "What is one more cat" and he bought it. His name is Minie Cooper. He was runt of the little. His mama died giving birth and the babies were feed with baby doll bottles. Ergo the reason why Cooper is so small. We brought him home and told Floydee and Fletcher that Cooper was their Birthday Gift. Can you tell that Floydee couldn't have been happier. Lauren and Rob--well the jury is still out, but when their construction is done then they will see. If we keep him that is ok also.

He just laughs.

2010-08-20T17:44:00.000-07:00

Notice the bruise on Fletcher's arm---well that is where he pulled the lamp down on his arm and of course it broke his little arm. He is a trooper. He just slide it along the floor and crawls everywhere without complaining.

WELL, MATT AND CHALENE GRADUATED! MARGOT AND I WERE SO PROUD OF THE BOTH OF THEM. I AM SO GLAD THAT I WAS ABLE TO BE THERE AND SHARE WITH THEM IN THE GREAT MOMENT IN THEIR LIVES!

The Christmas Bomb has hit

2008-12-02T17:58:00.000-08:00

Yes the Christmas Bomb(as Matt puts it) has hit. We have our annual party coming up and I have already spent 3 days trying to lay out some decorations. I only put up 3 Christmas Trees this year and I have cut back on the decorations because we have a pool table downstairs and there isn't enough room for everything. Come and see us. We love to entertain!

Swimming with the sharks

2008-12-01T20:32:00.000-08:00

Floyd absolutely loved the shark pool with the large stingrays and baby sharks right at his fingertips. He splashed enough of the water on the front of him to drench his shirt and make the stingrays swim up to his tiny fingers to see just who was having all that fun in their pool. Needless to say, if I hadn't held on to him tightly he would of gone swimming with them. Gracie asked the guard if she could get in and swim with the sharks. She thought they looked so cute.

Four makes a family

2008-12-01T20:17:00.000-08:00

Yes, Chalene,Matt and Margot are going to add to their family next summer. Everyone is hoping that this next baby will be a mild mannered and sweet as our little Margot. She is such a sweet happy little baby. Grammy B loves her and can't get enough of her.

Paul J

Paul J had so much fun with all the grandkids. Between the trains flying everywhere except on the train table and the pool games, it was a busy day in the basement!

Fishing around

2008-12-01T18:14:00.000-08:00

Margot and Grammy and of course Floyd were watching the fish get fed at the Aquarium. The kids

especially enjoyed watching the king crab get his diner.

ALL MY CHILDREN

2008-12-01T18:06:00.000-08:00

I love all my children!

I love all my children! Thanksgiving was just that!THANKSGIVING
All the Kids posed for pictures

quickly so that they could play pool, watch movies and compare school,

grad school and baby's. Rob and Krissy weren't able to be there for pictures, but Rob made it home from the hospital just in time to sit down and enjoy and delicious turkey dinner and orange rolls

Grammy B and her G-kids

2008-12-01T17:59:00.000-08:00

Yes, Thanksgiving was just that for me. I had all my children with me and all my Grandchildren were loving being with me also. We have a new pool table, and we bought a large train table with the whole train set. I had new movies, games, activities and lots of good food to keep them all entertained. I loved it!

loving cousins

2008-11-12T08:51:00.000-08:00

See, I knew these two kids would make grandma proud buy learning to love the shopping experience at an early age. They loved the ability to gossip, laugh and check out the bargains at the same time.
