HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

MISS ABBY IS LEAVING

If Abby doesn't get to go play during the day, she is cranky. So, we were going to take her to a place called Bouncing Craze, but when we got there, they had closed at one. So, we decided to go to a Chick-Fil-A that has an outside playground. She is use to going to one with an inside one. But, I really think she is burnt out on playing at them. She didn't care about playing at all.
She did enjoy eating.
Eating with mommy.

Abby and mommy are leaving to go back to Arkansas. They have been here three weeks. I have to admit that at times it was stressful, because Momo is not use to having a little two year old around. It has been almost thirty years since I had a two year getting into every thing. But, I am going to miss her so much. I will miss every time that she went up and down the stairs and I was sitting in the computer room, her yelling, hi momo or nite nite Momo. Some times, she would tell me three times nite nite before she actually went to bed. One time I was sitting on the potty with the door open, because I am so use to being the only one in the house and I just forgot to close the door. But, Abby comes riding her tricycle as fast as she can down the hall and just wheels into the bathroom and runs over both my feet. She looked up at me like that she had accomplished something, being able to hit both feet at the same time.

But, when she would come and sit in my lap and cuddle with me, I forgot all about how mischievous she could be at times. I think she will also miss Aunt Tracy and Pap-pa. When Pap-pa was out of town, she would never fail to ask, where is Pap-pa. She will also miss the meows, maybe them most of all and I think they may even miss her.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

CARTER PLAYS T-BALL

Carter is playing t-ball this summer. I think sometimes they have to remind him not to play in the dirt but doesn't he look cute in his uniform.

Some pictures of Karlie.

Her hair is getting long and is curling more. It is looking more like her mom's hair when she was a little girl. But, still not quite as curly as hers was.

MY BROTHER

This is a picture of my brother(far right). I like to see a picture of who people are talking about and I am sure others do also. Both of my brothers were good looking when they were young. When I was still in elementary school and they were in high school, I would have all these girls, their age, come up to me and ask me to introduce them. They wanted to date them. It kind of annoyed me. But, I would go home and tell them what they said. One girl that lived on the same street as us was really pretty and went on to be Miss New Albany. My brother and her talked a few times but never dated. I think that was around the time that he met his future wife.

There were times we didn't get along. I was so upset with him at one time that I told my sister that once my mother was no longer living, that I would no longer have contact with him. It is one of those things that I can't believe I was that upset, but at the time I thought I had good reason to be. There are nine years diffence in mine and his age. He and my sister are only two years apart. But, I was the one he wanted to know first about his illness. He still hasn't contacted my sister.

I talked to my nephew on Wednesday after the surgery and he said that he actually has colon cancer and that it has spread to his lungs. He has stage four lung cancer. Needless to say the prognosis is not good. But, when he recovers enough from the surgery, he will begin chemo. Like my nephew said, all they can do is take it one day at a time.

HOT IN OKLAHOMA

The high here yesterday was predicted to be 98 but I think it actually only got up to 95. But, that is still pretty hot. Definitely hot enough to pull out the pool and blow it up and fill it with water for Abby to play in. She had a ball, but even with lots of sunscreen on, she started to get red. So, she didn't get to stay out that long. But, at least we got some cute pictures of her in the pool.

Hugging the giraffe.

MOTHER'S DAY 2011

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the Moms out there. Abby is ready to go visit her Dad. A litle out of focus but it is very difficult to get a picture of her. She is never still for a second.

GOING TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARK

BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Abby loves bubbles.

WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS

When I was a little child, I heard this said all the time, mostly from my father. Well, I was saying it this weekend. I buried my mother exactly three months ago this weekend. On Saturday, my sister-in-law called to tell me my brother wasn't doing so well, that he has cancer, lung cancer and he will be having surgery on Wednesday in Oxford, Ms. It will be the same doctor that did surgery on my Mother when she broke her hip back in December. He is only 69, I don't consider that very old. He is my only living brother. My other brother died in a one car accident 17 years ago at the age of 49. We still don't know all the details about that and I don't think we ever will.

I don't have that many followers on my blog, probably only thirty regular ones. But, I am always telling my kids if I could really write about what happens in my life, I would have at least three times that amount probably. I just feel I shouldn't put it all out there. I have thought about just making it private so I could. It would be good to get it all off my chest.

But, for some good news, Tracy sold her house in Overland Park, Ks. It had been on the market for almost a year. She has been living with us and working since November. She is very excited to finally get to start looking for a house here in Oklahoma.

MISS ABBY

Miss Abby and her Mommy are back with us. They arrived on Friday. After dinner last night, we took Abby to Chick-fil-et to play on the playground. She didn't seem to care too much about playing. Maybe because Momo, Pap-pa and Aunt Tracy was there. But, she sure did enjoy her ice cream.
