today we went with grandma mary to the tulip & lilac gardens...it was breathtaking as always :)

"where did the train go?" after seeing the train rush by, he kept waiting & waiting for another...

here i am the day we missed our flights! after gg & ppaw had to come all the way back to the airport to get us, i was pooped! then it stormed most the night!!

my very first big owwie!

on our 12 hour drive back to lindsay from lubbock, we entered the most beautiful palo duro canyon!!

bye bye levi, see you next year we hope!

playing peek a boo behind the pole!

(this is me outside the church whinning instead of being inside during kelsey's wedding!

salutations from back in the northwest!! mom & i did make it home after our trip being delayed for a day due to storms (actually, our incoming plane for the first leg of our flight home didn't make it to us in time to catch a connecting flight)! SO..we got to spend an extra day with gg & p-paw! it thunderstormed for hours that night, so we were pretty excited about that!! (mommy was just thrilled! & i laid down with gg for a while) i had so much fun visiting last week. mom says i was very good except the day of the wedding!! (okay, the rehersal dinner was also not on my good list either!!) mommy missed the whole wedding!! i even tried running up the aisle when the bride's maids were trying to go!! & i hollered & screamed a lot! so we spent most of it outside! but at aunt lynn''s house, i just setttled right in! i had so much fun there, & didn't want to leave!

thank you so very much to gg & p-paw for the visit. it is so special to us that we can come visit and spend time with ya'll!(heehee..) thank you thank you thank you ! really, we can't say thank you enough! i hope we can make it down again next year!

ninety six point two degrees & loving it!!

in the storm cellar...

greetings from gg & p-paw's home!! we're having so much fun this week! we've been running around the yard & running around town visiting lots of friends & family! we're headed out in the morning to see even more family!! (daddy stop laughing at my exlamation marks ;) !! (daddy we love you & miss you-hope you're enjoying some peace & quiet!) this is the only front shot i've got for you today ;)

this is gus, betty ruth's dachsund & i couldn't give him enough kisses! so the puppy i have in my hand in this pic, i also named gus!

squatting on p-paw & gg's storm cellar! we haven't had to use it, but my aunt lynn's (the mother of the bride of this weekend!) two skylights were knocked out with a terrible hail storm a few days ago! uh-oh!!

big oil tankers drive thru all day & night!! we also spotted an oil fire (controlled) with LOTS of black smoke!

how fast this child is growing..unbelievable how amazing he is..inside & out..he has a wonderful personality..although i see his daddy's temperment coming on strong! we're so blessed to have such a wonderful little man on our hands. he's a pretty good little guy! (now, if i could only get him a little brother/sister!) i just love the raw emotions right now & the un-corrupted actions on an hourly basis!!
yesterday he scared me to death, we were in the bed room & he was jumping on the bed (no helmet or anything!) and i turned around as he jumped off the bed, landing on his head...oh, what a horrible mother i felt like..i was RIGHT there!! but not close enough to catch him. i thought for sure he had broke his neck..but turns out, the boy is made of rubber once again...it is no wonder my blood pressure has risen this year...
we've been keeping our angels quite busy...seems to be so many car accidents & deaths around, & miscellaneous & unfortunate incidents & accidents...nothing that stops at old age or natural disasters. grandpa laddie had a scare last week from a switch of medicines. he was given a new med & it made his blood pressure plummit & he became non responsive. very scary, we thank auntie theresa for being there everyday to help! and the rest of the family that can visit as much as possible now that he's in long term care!
also, GG & p-paw had quite a scare a few days ago with the fires in OK city. they could see the flames from the out of control fires..winds blowing like crazy, carrying burning embers from one fire to start another. we're so thankful they didn't reach your house, even though the rest of the area was evacuated & you had to scurry to pack the necessities in the car ready to head out at a moment's notice...soooo scary!
grandma & grandpa edwards both seem to be on the edge of keeping their jobs. grandma is switching shifts again, possibly this weekend? nothing is for sure, but she keeps hanging in there! thank god she can still collect a salary!
massage has taken quite a hit just recently, like this past month. although this time of year is when we all see it..tax season! after the 15th, we'll be rolling again i hope! -i'm expecting it! ;) mother's day is should be the big kick off for the busy season!!
we're off to see family this weekend & SO very excited! in fact, i guess i should scoot & get to packing! oh my gosh! what am i going to wear?!?!...LOL...

happy easter ya'll!

check out my movie star lashes man!!

easter treats at grandma mary's ! thanks granma for the goodies!

do i melt your heart or what?! goodness gracious!

how 'bout now, can we go outside now?

yea, i picked my attire. what of it?!

Summer Fun

Hello from a beautiful day in the Northwest-

Daddy had an extra day off today, and Mommy had the day off too. It was odd, and it took some getting used to the both of them being around at the same time. But it was pushing 70 degrees and sunny today, and Mommy & Daddy hit the yard with a vengence, and I took a nap. After a day of landscape beautification (phase 1 of many more phases), we made a run to the store to get some fixins for some BBQ hamburgers. Then Mommy happened to find a coupon for a free Dilly Bar from Dairy Queen. When was the last time you wrapped your lips around a Butterscotch Dilly Bar from DQ? It was my first (see below), and I think I saw God. We uncovered the patio furniture and had a wonderful family BBQ, again, very weird. Then I ran around like a psycho for a while. The big news this weekend is that Mommy got.......A NEW CAR! A nice Saturn Vue, same color as her old car, and with a sunroof that doesn't leak (that was a deal breaker). It also doesn't randomly smoke and make disturbing noises. Mommy is pretty stoked. Daddy seems to think that it is just more room to put crap in, but he loves it too. Well I am a disgusting ball of dirt, Dilly Bar, and hamburger, off to the bath I go. Only a few more weeks until Mommy and I go to Texas and Oklahoma, Mommy is freaking out. Have a great day!
