The other day I was trying to get Courtney to tell me who I was ( her daddy's mommy). so I said Courtney who am I? She said, Grandma. I said,yes but who am I? She said, Kathy. I said, yes but who am I? Being totally serious, she said, an old lady?!!! It was so funny! Time for some Oil of Olay!

I love my useless facts section, I didn't know that greyhounds could run up to 45 miles per hour! I knew they were fast but not that fast. These dogs have been around for 5000 years.

Well, I thought I was going to go to bed at 9:30. I forgot to bring out the box of New Years stuff for the girls to play with. So here they are. I finally got to go to bed at 10:30. I made Courtney a bed on the floor next to me, so I said to Courtney, in an hour and a half at midnight some fireworks might wake you up but you don't need to get scared because everything is ok its just the new year and people are celebrating. She said, grandma, I need to tell you something, I think I need to sleep with you tonight. She is so sweet!

Well it is 2 1/2 hours until the new year is here. Happy New Year! I am going to bed. Yes, I am a party Pooper! I will dream about the fun I should be having.

Today Nora and I went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. We really liked it. It was very different. Who lays awake at night and thinks of all these crazy stories? THE VERY RICH, thats who! Brad Pitt must have been in makeup for hours before filming each day, it is amazing! By the end of the movie Brad Pitt was oh so cute!

I just read on my useless facts that our heart beats 40 million times a year. I bet mine only beats 35 million times because Lee is constantly making my heart skip a beat!

I was helping Jessica get Carlee ready for Christmas Eve, I put these tights on her and thought they were so adorable on her with all the cute ruffles that I had to take a picture of her on her way to destruction!

Carlee couldn't wait for Christmas, she was trying to open Uncle Nathans gift and she did a very good job of it!
I do believe she is the prettiest baby ever!!

To the right you can see my cute Nathan, he HATES his picture taken but he didn't realize I got him in the picture. If I try to take his picture I think he almost tries to attack me. I told him if I were as cute as he was I would want everyone to take my picture!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas, we all had a good time together. Here are a few of our pictures that were taken today.

These are two of my favorite ornaments. Derek is 26 years old, this picture was taken of him in the church nursery when he was 2 almost 3. His nursery leader took the picture and made the ornament so he could give it to us on Christmas. So when Courtney was 2 I made one of her so we could hang them next to each other on our tree. Every year we hang them in the same place. I love these pictures! You can tell they are father and daughter can't you! Adorable!!!

It's never too early to start piano lessons

Since today is the first day of winter Courtney and I decided we needed to have a fire. Last night Courtney and I were talking about our nativity peices. I was asking her who all the different people were, when I pointed to the Three wise men, she said, those are the slaves! Where in the world did that come from?!!! She keeps us laughing.
