A Busy Day

My sweet grandson Colton spent the night last night. I had a busy day yesterday and picked him up in the evening when I was done so his mommy could get studying and test done.

Well, at 10:30 he was still all wound up and I was about to pass out so I thought...instead of putting him in his bed I'll just let him sleep with me. In the past it had work though it's been awhile....well...for an hour all he did was keep grabbing my face saying over and over again....Muggy, Muggy...ahhh Muggy and giving me kisses.

Ha!

See...Muggy is what he calls me instead of Gram...It is cute to hear him say it. Not sure if he'll change to Gram down the road or if I'll always be a "Muggy". One day maybe I'll explain the story on how we THINK Muggy came about.

Finally a little after 11:30 he fell asleep.

Then this morning we went and picked up Jenn. They were having some sort of chili festival at her church and she wanted is to go so we did.

Colton loves out doors and as soon as we got out of the truck he was ALL over the place.

The above picture is him on the slide.

After we were done we went to Ruthie's Mexican Restaurant for lunch. Coton loves chips and salsa (dip as he would call it). Picture below at lunch.

After lunch we made a quick trip into Wal-mart before dropping Jenn off. Of course we had to go into the toy section cause he is so deprived of toys (Ha-Ha-Ha).
After dropping Jenn off Colton fell right to sleep on his journey home with one of his brand new toys in his lap.

We had a wonderful day but I'm exhausted!

I can't decide what to do tomorrow....

clean house or rest.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

2 Weeks And Counting

In 2 weeks I'll be off again on another adventure. This time it takes me to San Francisco. It's what we call "Grandma's Gone Wild...Part 2"

My girls and me...Fonda, Stacy and Beverly are spending 4 nights in the Bay area...last year we did New York (Bev couldn't make that one) and we decided then we would make it a point to go somewhere every year....just the girls. We joked about a lot of stuff as we prepared for NY and that's how the Grandma's Gone Wild came about...we (with the exception of Bev) were new Grandma's at the time...Bev has been one for awhile now.

So...by the end of the month I'll be able to share my new adventures with you. The thing I'm looking forward to the most besides getting away and having girl time is our visit to Alcatraz...we will actually do that our first day there. I can hardly wait!

Also when I return I will be able to update you on Jennifer and if her little bundle of joy she is carrying will be a boy or girl. She finds out the day after I leave for San Francisco so I will post that after I get back.

Okay...I think your all updated so I will let you go...thanks for stopping by...until next....
"It Is What It Is"

Tammy Has A Blog!

I guess my daughter is following in her mother's foot steps....ha!

Tammy has started a blog as well ....so...if your interested in what's going on with her and her family...more than what I would say in my blog....go on over and take a visit and look a round.

On the right side column of my blog page you'll see her name....just click on it and it will take you to her page.

Welcome to the blogging world Tammy!

Tammy's Having A.............

It's a Girl!!!!

And her name will be Tayler Lee Sheard.

They now put the pictures on a disc instead of a print out.

Makes it a lot easier to share.

An Added Feature

I have another look for the blog. Did you notice the banner? I love it! An old friend who also has a blog designed the banner and told me how to add it to the blog. She has done several friends blogs with a banner. I know it wasn't an easy task for her cause at first I didn't know what I wanted and she made some things up and I liked them but they just didn't seem like what I was looking for, though I didn't know what that was....but she didn't give up, she kept trying to help me figure it out...and then in the mist of her trying to figure a banner out for me, she re-did her blog page and I really liked it and it gave me the idea I was looking for. I wanted the words to stand out and then I thought....flowers...I took the girls (Jennifer and Tammy) favorite flowers and had those added because after all, this family is blooming and "It Is What It Is"... So there you go....another new look for the blog. Thanks August for making the blog look so beautiful!

Man Of The Hour

Today was a visit with Grand-babies. After Hayden left Colton soon followed.

I thought I would have a hard time taking pictures of him because lately he just won't pose but I guess today was my lucky day.

As you can see in the pictures he's just a "Big Ole' Ham"

saying cheese and a cute one at that!

All night he kept telling me ...picture, picture...he wanted his picture taken and smiled in just about everyone....but there are too many for me to post so I chose a few of my favorites.

The above picture he's checkin' out his Rock Star style...or it could be his Redneck country style...

either way I'd clap for more. And above he's just being silly. Had to bring his Elmo chair in the kitchen while I tired to find something for dinner.

And below...Oh my...it was the cutest thing...I wish I had a better picture....he was sitting in his chair playing with the toy phone that of course looks like a cell phone. It has numbers on it when you flip it open just like a cell phone. Anyway....he had both hands on the phone and a finger from each hand pressing on the numbers as though he was typing to send a text message. It was the cutest thing. Just shows you how fast they pick up on the things they see around them.

He's a pretty smart cookie anyway.

And below just Colton being Colton the sweetest Grandson in ALL the land.
We went to go and get his zebra animal for him but he decided he wanted ALL the animals on his bed to come and sit with him. I'm glad he did...it made for one sweet picture.
So...that was my day...first Hayden and then Colton...I can hardly wait for the other 2 to make their arrival. I wonder how a day with ALL of them all ALONE would be?
Until next time....
Oh...that should be Wednesday...Tammy finds out if she's having a boy or girl....
Stay tuned.

Girl Time

Hope everyone enjoyed the Super Bowl. My son in law must be in Steelers heaven right now.

Hayden came over and spent the night so her mommy and daddy could do their Super Bowl thing.

Below is a picture of Hayden watching the Super Bowl.

I was a little nervous that Miss Hayden would do as she did last time she spent the night and stay up all night...but...she was a good girl.

We went to bed around 11:30 and I woke her up this morning about 7:15.

We had a good afternoon and thankfully a good night.

The above picture was taken last night. She was laying on her cousin Colton's bed. I was "FINALLY" able to capture a smiling picture.

The pictures below were taken this morning. She was quite the ham.

I must say...she sure is a sweet little girl....and as I sit here updating you and sharing pictures I am awaiting the arrival of of my Grandson Colton who will be here in less than an hour.

This Gram surely will need to go to bed early tonight.

Maybe tomorrow I'll have pictures of Colton to share. It's a little harder getting him to pose these days, he's always so busy.

Enjoy your day!
