New GRANDbaby!!!

It is now official, we are going to have another GRANDbaby. Brandon and Ashley are expecting this wonderful angel (gift from God) the first of October. These are the ultrasound pics. The middle one is the best one. They will go for another ultrasound next week so I will update the picture. This will be number 4.

Redecorated Kitchen and Dining

Ashley had asked me before Christmas is she and Trista could redo my dining room and kitchen. That meant tear off the wall paper and paint, but the one stipulation was that they got to chose the color of paint and the wall decorations. They finished it last night and I LOVE it. They even put up crown molding along the ceiling. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful daughter and daughter-in-law. Thank you both so much.

Ready for Christmas

Well today is November the 26th the tree is up and the presents are all bought. I did most of my shopping online and it was wonderful not having to fight the crowds. There is just one or two more things to buy (unless I find something that I just don't think my grandbabies can live without.) Every commercial that Jacob sees on the television he says, "MeMe I like that." You also know if it is something that Lauren likes because she just points at the television and says, "oh." I am sure that they will not want for anything. I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed CHRISTmas and a happy and safe New Year.

Mom & Dad

We had a wonderful 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration this past weekend for Mom & Dad. We had a great time visiting with family and friends. Our cousin Kathy and her husband Dwight surprised all of us by coming from Oregon and there were probably six or seven couples from Roaring River (Mom & Dad's summer retreat area) that came. Seeing them renew their wedding vows was awesome. Their anniversary isn't really until February but they will be in Texas (at their winter retreat) keeping warm while we are all here freezing to death. I just Praise God that they are still able to travel and that Mom is doing great and her recovery is going great also. Thank You to everyone for all of your prayers for her this past year. God is truly awesome and we know that HE is in control. We just have to keep the faith and grow closer to Him and stronger in Him each and every day.

God Bless,
Becky

Trunk or Treat 2007

This year we had "Trunk or Treat" in our church parking lot. This is our grandson's Jacob (Fiderman) and Braden (Dinosaur). They had a blast. We had the cars decorated and big blow up toys for the kids to play on. We had a fantastic turnout for our first trunk or treat. We had around 1000 people and over 300 of them were children. It was hard to get a picture of the boys without their mouths full of candy. I didn't get a picture of Lauren in her Sleeping Beauty costume because it was itchy and she HATED it but she did look adorable the short time she had it on.

IT'S FIDERMAN

Just in case you can't tell who this is; it is fiderman. This is what Jacob wants to be for Halloween. Lauren had just gotten up from her afternoon nap and was terrified when she saw him. He now has somewhere that he can go and she WILL NOT bother him. It is in his new tent (Lightening McQueen Tent) that PaPa and Uncle Jerrod got for him when they went to buy some hunting boots; which they didn't even get. Unfortunately the tent stays up all of the time and has been added to the rest of the toy collection in my computer room. So now he gets all of the toys that he can and takes them to his tent. Lauren just stands at the door looking in, trying to get the courage to get in with him. He said that him and Braden can take a nap in it the next time that Braden comes over.

It is hard to believe that this ANGEL is one year old. She is so Trista. Jerrod is always calling her "Little Trista." She is truly a blessing and a gift from God. I can't hardly stand it if I have to go one day without seeing her. After this picture was taken Aunt Barbie gave Lauren her first haircut and it is so cute. We cut off all of the baby hair that she never lost. If PaPa Hill (Mike) or PaPa Freeman (Bill) is around she is usually in their laps drinking their tea or eating whatever they will give her. She is not a picky eater like Jacob is. She eats all of her food and then wants some of yours also.
