Our Weekend With Jace: All Boy!

I LOVE this picture

You might be a redneck if...

Your grandbaby is swimming in a trough!

He had a blast!

I can't figure out how to move this picture to the bottom - he made it in the water!

So Cute!

He loved being dipped in the creek! He kept saying, "Jace's turn" - he wanted to do it over and over. I think he would have loved it if we just dropped him in - NOT!

He wanted in so bad!

Jace and Auntie Em: even a boy can appeciate the sweet smell of flowers!

He loves to pretend he's a puppy!

He loves to play in that cage!

Wow - Heber's Twenty-five!

Heber, my second born, turned twenty-five on Saturday. A quarter of a century - wow! He didn't want to do anything on his birthday. He told me several weeks ago that he wanted just one thing: Ashlei. I'd give just about anything if I could give him that.

So, we swooped down upon him Sunday evening. We were all there except Milton cuz he had to work. We took taco salad, cake and icecream, and a gift. It was a lot of fun! We ate, talked, laughed, made a lot of noise, and just really enjoyed being together.

There is nothing in this life more precious, more important, or that can bring more happiness than family.

I love you guys!

My New Client

I have a new client. She's a forty-nine year old woman with terminal cancer. She's on Hospice, and we are there providing a personal attendant. She is AMAZING. She lives in a shack- she has almost nothing - and probably never has. When I sit with her in her little bedroom there is nothing but a calm and peaceful feeling. She talks about dying without reservation; she speaks candidly and honestly. I told her today how amazing she is, and she told me nobody has ever told her that before. Wow. What an example she is to me of faith and strength.

I am better because of her.

Chalk It Up To Hormones

So...my life is boring and unimportant, and who cares anyway?

A Good Day

This past Saturday Emelie and I hit the road and spent the day in Vidor. First we went to Heber's house. I had a check to take to him. We bought his car, a 2007 Haundai Sonata - way more comfy than my little Neon. We spent a couple of hours there playing with Jace, visiting with Heber and Jarom, and going to Wal-Mart. I took Jarom and got him a new white shirt, and a tie for church. He also needed a new belt since he's gotten so skinny...well then he needed new shoes to tie it all together! I'm told he looked nice at church on Sunday!

After we left Heber's house we went to Sarah and Kevin's house and visited there for a few hours. We played with Claire, and just chilled. It was very relaxing. About the time we were going to leave a storm moved through. It was just enough to wait it out, but it brought some much needed rain, so we were thankful for it.

After we left Sarah and Kevin's house we headed to Silsbee. The plan was to eat at Casa Ole, but half of Silsbee was out of power and a lot of the businesses were closed. We ended up literally driving all the way around Silsbee and ended up back at Chili's! It was great as usual!

We also had gone to Wal-Mart. Milton needed something to fix Megan's headlight, and I ended up getting a couple of Nintendo DS games for my "new" Nintendo DS Megan gave me. I got her the new Nintendo DSi for her birthday, so I inherited her old one. It's pretty fun, though I played it so long the other day I got a Migraine headache! The DSi is really neat! It's a game system, a camera, and you can access the internet from it - very cool!
