This was Carlee's expression when I told her mommy and daddy just saw her babies heartbeat

Of course Carlee doesn't have a clue that mommy is going to have a baby, but I thought I would try to get some kind of cute look when I told her that her mommy and daddy just saw the baby and its heartbeat.

Funny useless fact

The wingspan of a Boeing 747 jet is longer than the length of the Wright Brothers’ first flight

Happy 60th Birthday Arlene!

Sweet Audrey

Audrey colored this picture for me and sent it to me in the mail. I thought that was so sweet. I am starting my Grandma box, the girls are just now getting to the age of making things for me. It will be so much fun to look at everything together when they get older.

Another useless fact

Phobia: coprastasophobia Fear of: constipation


Oh I totally have coprastasophobia! It's the worst!! A handful of almonds a day takes the coprastasophobia away!!

Check out this useless fact!!

Be very thankful your HMO hasn’t studied the medical practices of ancient India, or it might come up with some new kinds of coverage for you. At one time, Indian doctors used insect mandibles instead of stitches to bind the two sides of a cut together. The head of a large ant would be removed, and its pincers would be brought together through the patient’s flesh.

I have another Courtney story- age 4 1/2

We are driving down the road...
Courtney- Grandma, my legs are hairy
Me- That's ok, you are just a little girl
Courtney- My moms legs aren't hairy
Me- Well, thats because ladies shave their legs
Courtney-My dads legs are hairy
Me- Men don't shave their legs
Courtney- Well, he needs to because they are going to grow too long and get in my food!!

Jessica is pregnant, I wonder if "it" will look anything like Carlee, she was a doll!

Almost everyone already knows that Jessica is pregnant, but I just wanted to say a few things because this blog is pretty much my journal. I am so happy for her and Tommy. Carlee will be 2 the month the baby is due to arrive. Oh what will it be a boy or a girl? We don't care as long as its healthy! There is nothing more special than your only daughter having a baby. Jessica is such a good mommy to Carlee, she is so patient with her, Carlee is a very good girl. Even though she thinks her bedtime is 11:00PM. Carlee loves to dance to Mamma Mia with any one that will dance with her, especially Papa. I am already thinking ahead. I have to be at the hospital when she is having their new bundle of joy. I am over protective of Jessica probably because she is my only girl. I am already so excited and we still have at least 8 months to go. Jessica did so well with Carlee, never got real sick would just say I'm just feeling kinda blah, that lasted about 3 months. So we will see what this pregnancey brings, if she gets sicker I will have a feeling that it is a boy. Her back hurt her alot for several months so I am hoping that won't happen again. The pain went away the moment Carlee was born. She was putting pressure on something that didn't feel good to Jessica. Congratulations Jessica and Tommy I am so happy for you. I love you so much!!

Hmm - and we thought Carlee looked more like Tommy

MyHeritage: Family tree - Genealogy - Celebrity - Collage - Morph She looks more like you when you were her age, especially with the little curlys!

This is wild! A good reason to keep our hearts healthy!

If laid out in a straight line, the average adult’s blood vessels would be nearly 60,000 miles long—enough to circle Earth 2 times. The heart pumps blood through this labyrinth and back again once every minute.

I guess this means no more Sonic Jesscia! (By the way this was one of my useless facts) I love my useless facts, some are weird but lots of them are very interesting. This one doesn't seem to be useless.

Another one of my useless facts

Kangaroos usually give birth to one offspring annually. The young kangaroo, or joey, is only about an inch long—no bigger than a waterbug.

The baby must be so cute!!

Dads cat had kittens at 5 am this morning in Arlenes bed

My sister Shelley gave my dad a cat for his 88th Birthday last August, well she got outside 1 too many times. She had 3 kittens this morning. Shelley has a birthday this month and guess what Shelley? Mom said you are going to get 3 new kittens for your birthday but act surprised ok?!!! :-)

Courtneys first experience of feeling puppies inside of its mommy

Arlenes Granddog is having puppys at any time now, so I took Courtney over to see her today. She got so excited as you can see in the picture when the puppies would move.

I took Courtney to be screened for Kindergarten today. It took about 20 minutes. About every 3 minutes she would give me a thumbs up. She was so cute, I wish I would have taken my camera. On our way up there I asked her what she was going to say to the people when we got there. She said Oh, I will say, I sure love being here. When the teacher was done screening her, Courtney said to her, You are invited to my birthday party, get dressed up real cute and come OK?!

I found this interesting on my useless facts

Silly Putty started as a mistake in a New Haven laboratory, and was turned into a consumer hit in the 1960s. According to engineers, Silly Putty is a self-contradiction. Chemically, it is a liquid, but it resembles a solid. The molecular structure will stretch if the structure is slowly pulled. But if tugged, it snaps apart. The toy has a rebound capacity of 75 to 80 percent, whereas a rubber ball has only about 50-percent capacity. A silicon derivative, Silly Putty won’t rot; it can withstand temperatures from minus 70° Fahrenheit to hundreds of degrees above zero. On top of all that, it picks up newsprint, which often appears sharper than the original.

Blogger is putting some of my newer posts below the older posts, whats up with that blogger?!!

Stay away from those Africanized bees!!

I am going crazy, I cannot figure out how to put my pictures from my phone onto my computer! I have the cutest picture of Courtney on my phone. We walked into Walmart the other day and they have their fresh bouquets of flowers up front and she grabbed one and said, Grandma take my picture I am a bride! I have done it before but do you think I can figure it out again? NO!! Challenged? YES!!!!!

Carlee loves her new cups
