Twins? Cousins? Identical Twin Cousins?

Andrew (in hat) less than a day old. Born March 23; weighing 7 lbs 13 oz - 20' Long

Jakob less than a day old. Born June 23; weighing 7 lbs 13 oz - 20' Long


When looking at my girl's baby pictures I have a very hard time telling if it's Nyki or Brittney - they looked so much a like as babies. Now they each have a son that in order to prevent my sitting there (20 years from now) Going which one is this? I MUST label pictures!

Now that I have shown off 2 of my 5 little blessings I will make you sit through some more bragging!

Rylee helps Nyki feed Jakob. She loves her baby brother.

Next Best Thing to Being There

I'm a Grandma Again






Jakob Connor, born 06/23/06 @ 11:51 a.m. cst weighing in at 7lbs 13 ozs and 20" long.

I was not able to be in Texas for his birth so his daddy called and put me on speaker phone so I could hear the birth. I could hear the doctor telling my eldest daughter to PUSH PUSH just one more GOOD PUSH and we will have a BABY. I heard Jakob's other grandmother laugh and then I heard the sweetest cry in the whole world!

So as I sat in Logan's Steakhouse - my eyes filled with TEARS as I heard the sound of a HEALTHY BABY BOYS first CRY. He has a great stage voice - his CRY was strong.

Look for more pictures - Hopefully some with his big sister Rylee soon.

I know NOTHING!

This morning Randy said "I know nothing" like Schultz from Hogan's Heroes. It just reminded me of the fact that I knew exactly where it came from but my children (and grandchildren) never will.

What sayings (references) do you still use that your kids won't have a clue about? Or what are your favorite borrowed quotes from a show or movie? Lucy you got some splaining to do! So start splaining my blogger friends!

Pardon me but do you know me?

I was just in Circle K. I'm in line to check out and this girl walks in the door. She has a tatoo on her leg.......Large covers the complete calf. I saw vines and I saw butterflies (probably a jungle scene - didn't really look long enough to tell).

Anyway back to my story. I'm in line at Circle K, in walks this girl

the lady behind me (LBM) said, "oh my gosh - what a tramp".

Me "Are you talking to me?"

LBM "No did you just see the girl that walked in?"

Me "Yes I did"

LBM "Said I bet her parents are really proud of her!"

Me "Ummmm do you know her?"

LBM "No but anyone that get a tatoo must not think anymore of thier body than a TRAMP"

Me "Lady I don't know you - and from the sound of it I don't care to. However, I have 2 Tat's and I do not think I am in anyway a TRAMP"

LBM "At least yours is hidden"

I check out - with a bazillion things going through my head that I "should have said". What would you have done?

Seriously I want to know!

Wacky Tobacky

I don’t understand why people refuse to grow up!

I was talking to a friend of mine who is in shock – her and hubby had a play date/get to know the other parents night out a while back with some neighbors who have a son the same grade as said friend’s son. They are all over, the boys are playing in the next room and the father of the little boy (9 years old probably isn’t considered little anymore) lights up – yes my blogger friends he just pulls out a joint lights it and offers it to my friend and her husband. She was stunned – they wrapped up the night very quickly and took their son home. 1st she was shocked that someone would just light up in front of practical strangers 2nd she was pissed that someone lit up right in front of her son. Just this past week the neighbors called to see if her son could “sleep over” in the tent in the back yard. Friend said NO – she could not comprehend letting her son stay at the other kids house “with his parents home”. Now that is back asswards – I wouldn’t let my children go to a friends house if their “parent’s were not home”.

I was at a friends house – (friends that are older than I) and I could smell it – not just a faint maybe their son had smoked it the night before smell – but a STRONG they must have just finished smell (and their son was not home and had not been since the night before) so that leaves me to believe that it had to be them that was smoking weed. I’ve suspected before due to some really weird conversations about the supply of “ham”.

One of our employees is concerned about qualifying for a “background” test because of the drug test involved with it. He partakes in recreational toking – direct quote from him. One former employee talked about how many “tires” he needed for the evening on the phone with his best buddy – with me standing there. Then he would come to work the next morning smelling like stale pot – and so out of it he couldn’t function. He would tell me he stayed out partying all night long – and I don’t think it was just alcohol.

Am I just OLD? Did most of us not outgrow this type of behavior in high school or college? At the very least when we became parents? All of the above mentioned people are parents with at least one child living in their home. All of them are healthy individuals so it is not for medicinal purposes. SO AM I JUST MISSING OUT ON THE LATEST TREND OR............ am I being too judgmental?

Let’s take a poll real quick do you think this is the norm or just that I know (know of) the exception to the rules. (If you vote it’s the norm – I won’t immediately think you are ‘one of them’).
