Breakfast with Grandma
Elizabeth and Micah aren't speaking to me??? All I did was fix Isaiah breakfast so they could sleep in on a Saturday morning. Why are they so mad? Can anyone tell me? Who doesn't love Double Stuffed Oreo's? |

Well Elizabeth smells her pies baking, Micah smells the turkey he will carve, and Isaiah smells the gravy for his mashed potatoes, but I smell Football! But truly we all get along just great but come on Thanksgiving and Dallas are like salt and pepper! Can't have one without the other right Melia? This is a great holiday, hope everyone has a very special one.
Elizabeth and I went and bought a very cute turkey and other decoration and a bib for Isaiah that says, "I'm stuffed." Actually that is very hard to do, this little boy eats till he wears out the hand that is feeding him! Honestly we have to leave the table, he will eat forever.
We are all thankful for many things in our lives, what are you thankful about? I know the answer to two of my dearest friends. It's that they're pregnant, so Melia and Jamie have to come up with 2 things!
I have so many things to thank my Lord for, so I also will pick one. That is I have a lot of love and support from the three people I now live with. Not only have they given me a home but have just fixed up a beautiful room for me. Elizabeth sanded and painted a beautiful two tone green room for me. My favorite color is green. Light on the top and dark on the bottom. Micah installed a fan with lights and redid my wood floors. They shine so bright and pretty. They have made me feel so loved and welcomed. He is going to put up chair railing that separates the two greens then I will post pictures. I love them both and anyone who knows me knows I don't stay serious for long so I will end this with my humor. If it wasn't for Isaiah I would be out of here in a New York minute! |

This little man is so funny, let me tell you he doesn't allow you the time to be sad or quite. He "makes" me smile from the second he gets up. I was drinking my coffee with Elizabeth and having our usual morning conversation and all of a sudden you hear "I" (which is Hi! He will say hi till someone opens his door and then you have the biggest smile in the world looking right at you. BUT if it's me that gets him,he laughs out loud, flips over buries his face and starts kicking (like he is a little fish) he goes nuts! then when I yell, ISAIAH he belly laughs and starts screaming back! He loves for me to sit in the back seat with him and we drive Elizabeth crazy with our screaming back and forth. He is such a funny little boy. I hate to see him go down at night, but look forward to the morning to see that smiling face and crazy little personality.
Then I went to a Sarah Palin debate, we watched the debate then her and her family came into Chaifetz Arena in a cloud of smoke. She answered some questions and then shook hands with a bunch of people. She was awesome and clearly had won the debate. I went with some friends from church and had more fun then I have had in a long time. I have been teased by these crazy ladies because of the person I sat next to and that joke has not stopped yet. But anyone who really knows me knows I am a prankster and can dish it out and can also take it! And trust me from the preachers wife to our wonderful driver who drove (6 crazy Republicans) we had a lot of fun! So let's pray and hope Sarah gets voted in. I know McCain isn't my favorite but maybe she will help.
 
The church here is so warm and I love so many people there already. The preacher is a very warm person and he is preaching the truth and that is the most important thing. It's a big group and it will be fun to learn all their names!
The bottom line is it is very different here, I feel needed and loved and appreciated so much here. It is very different here and a very calm and caring home which I am blessed to be in and I know it to be a great blessing. I know things will never be perfect in this world because I miss my 3 granddaughters so much. I just wish I could see them daily like I did and that hurts sometimes more then I can bear. I sure love those girls. I just know Heaven is where I want to be someday, no more sorrow! Won't that be wonderful to be with God and feel no sadness and no more tears! I guess that is why I haven't been on in awhile, I feel happy during the day and so sad at night. Wow, I need to take my own advice and count my blessings.
Well, the little man should be waking soon, maybe I will go make some noise! So what it is Saturday! So what it is not even 7! Got to go play with that crazy little boy. |

I have been tagged! Can I tag you back again? Anyway here I go.
1. I organize my clothes by short sleeve and colors, then my long sleeves, then my skirts, dresses, pants!
2. I don't like people to "touch" my food. Take one of my fries and they are all yours. Don't pass me a roll, pass the bread basket!
3.I HATE if someone drinks from my glass(again it's yours)
4.Being a rather "keep it to myself type person" I don't like it when someone ask one question after the other. I am a private person and I like it that way! That could be why I DIDN'T want to be tagged!
5.I don't like chocolate and I would love to meet someone who would just say, oh! Instead of are you crazy? How could you NOT like chocolate? Nothing like feeling like a freak!
6. I dislike the phrase "it's just a singing". I have honestly heard Christians say this in defense of missing a service. WHAT? Aren't we singing praises to our Lord?
7.As "soon" as a meal is over, I MUST clean up every dish and put leftovers away. I have to have it back the way it was 100% before the meal was started. Don't like to sit around and smell leftover food and dirty dishes.
8.I must have 2 pillows on my bed. I sleep on one and I snuggle the other. It is impossible for me to sleep without my snuggle pillow.
So those are my 8, hmmmm who should I tag? |

Well, I am in Missouri now and so far so good! It is nice to be with people who love you and want to be with you. Family is great and I know it will be a big change but I am ready for some changes in my life. I want to be a loving and caring person and it is very easy here. I think respect for each other is so important, without it we tend to take each other for granted. I love my daughter so much for knowing I was very lonely and just not happy in Seattle. Because of the respect and love she has for me, she offered me a home to share with her husband and son. This is her first home and they have worked 8 long years for this beautiful home, beautiful son, and loving husband. I am humbled by her love and sacrifice. I know it will work out because the Lord is in this home. I love knowing and seeing the love my daughter and Micah have for the Lord. To see them bathe Isaiah every night and then go in his room to pray and sing praises to God EVERY single night! I can't tell you how this makes my heart swell with pride and to know God is smiling down on this home because He knows we love Him and He comes first. So like I said, so far so good.
Today was Isaiah's first time at the zoo! He loved all the monkeys, lions, bears. He is just such a sweet baby. He already thinks I am crazy! He laughs out loud at every thing I do. One silly face and now he laughs if I walk in the room! Sweet! I think he remembers me, I really do. I stayed with Elizabeth for 5 weeks after he was born, and visited twice after that. If I am wrong don't tell me. I think he really remembers me.
We had some new Christians over for dinner tonight. Christina is a new mom to be. She wants to learn to be a mom. She is from China and was a bit hard to understand but you could feel the love she had for Isaiah instantly. I think she will do just fine. After she has the baby Elizabeth is going to go over there for an hour or so a day to help teach her things. Christina is scared a bit and you can tell she wants the help. It will be sweet, I will get to stay home with Isaiah and eat cookies and cokes! How cool is that?
Well now that Isaiah went to the zoo, can anyone guess what he is going to be on Halloween? |
