Nanny Passed Away

Last Saturday I added a post about us finding out that Nanny (my dad's mom) had leukemia. She got to come home, but at home she got sicker and died in her sleep this past Thursday afternoon. We attended her funeral or celebration of her 91 meaningful years yesterday. We will forever miss Nanny and will always love her.

Our Sunday Afternoon with MamaJan

Today, we enjoyed a fun afternoon with my Mom AKA MamaJan or as Rylie likes to say MamaJani (with the e sound)...we have no idea why!

Anyway, the girls helped MamaJan with her little garden...fixing what the dogs messed up...and of course they always have to swing at MamaJan's...and read books...and EAT just about the whole time...and get LOTS of LOVIN'!

Above is a picture of MamaJan with the girls with the gift we gave her for Mother's Day! It is a picture of the girls laser printed on the tile with the words:

MamaJan, We Love You This Much!

That is her favorite question to ask, "How Much Do I Love You?" or they even know what she is talking about when she says, "How Much?" They always answer with their open straight out wide...in the picture on the tile they are doing it together!!

We love you Mom/MamaJan...thanks for a great day!

Sad News...

We just learned yesterday that my Nanny (my dad's mom, Ruby) has leukemia. She has been feeling pretty tired and worn out in the past couple of weeks and my Aunt Deborah (with whom Nanny lives) took her to the doctor to find out what was going on, other than her being 91 years old. She was kept in the hospital because her blood was so low, transfusions were given and tests were administered. She was told yesterday, the diagnosis. We are all very sad and would like prayer for her strength and to feel no pain. We love you, Nanny!

Happy Mother's Day

First, I just want to say that I'm so very thankful to have the best women in my life to show me how to become a wonderful mother!

I forgot to take pictures at Grandmother's house for Mother's Day, but here are some pictures that I did get...

Last Saturday evening, we went to celebrate Mother's Day with Nanny(Ruby, my dad's mom). We had a very nice time with them...Nanny, Aunt Deborah, Jennifer (Happy Birthday to her) and little baby, Maddison...

Then Sunday, after lunch at Grandmother's celebrating with Mom and Grandmother...we had dinner with Ryan's brothers and Mom...

These pictures are some that I took about a month ago with this very idea in mind...these little dresses are some adorable princess dresses that Dianne had given the girls for Christmas.

And we've always got to go outside and play...

Here is a picture from yesterday with Grandmother, Katie and Cheyenne...

Hope everyone had a terrific Mother's Day!

Crazy Girls...

They still love to dress up...

Katie couldn't wait for us to get home on this day, because she said that she was going to run in and put on her swimsuit and rain boots and play in the rain...she was so excited...and she did...

Then it got a little chilly for her and this was her solution...

Have a Fantastic Day!

Weekend at Cove Creek

We got to go down to Graham, to Cove Creek Ranch, with our cousins and friends this weekend...we had lots of fun...

After Caden, put that one in the bucket, we asked him how big was your fish and of course...he held his hands almost as far apart as he could get them to show us the size!
