CIRCUS

January 31, 2010 | Uncategorized | Comments [3]

circus was great with lexie and James. they were great and they enjoyed it. James fell asleep for about 30 min, but Lexie stayed awake. They ate and ate and ate, cotton candy, popcorn, Icee’s, and more. took them for ice cream after. They are well sugared up for Crystal and Jayme, (sorry) :)

concern is: the circus is nothing like it use to be. they did not have much of the animal acts like they use to when my kids were little. alot of acrobats and clowns and shows, I saw alot of the kids getting pretty board. oh well, guess the circus is on a budget also. but they sure ask alot for the plastic light up toys!!!

receipes and more

love the receipes carmen, they are great, you did a fabulous job on them, Crystal loves her also. I made a little book for the receipes and put the desserts in another little book. James (bubs) has had terrible ear infections this last year. Crystal took him to a specialist last week, and they have decided to put in ear tubes and something about his adnoids being taken out. that will happen in the next couple of weeks. Christopher had tubes when he was about the same age, but not adnoids being removed. Pray for the little guy, he is so cute and loveable, he just loves to be hugged. We are taking Lexie to the circus this weekend, it’s her birthday present. she has know for a few weeks, and keeps saying, but Bubs can’t come, right :) , she loves her brother, but she is looking forward to a day with nana and pawpaw.

Bill’s Car Accident

January 20, 2010 | Uncategorized | Comments [2]

Bill was in a bad wreck on November 30th, but he never comes into the website anymore, because he said he spends all of his time in Facebook. He talks to Buddy a lot, and Buddy doesn’t bother coming into this website anymore, either. Lainie no longer has a computer, and there really isn’t anybody left. Beth and Brenda never have been very active in the site.

Anyway, Bill was badly hurt. He was hit from behind by an 18 wheeler, which smashed his small Toyota into the car ahead of him, and he really didn’t feel “hurt”, but decided two days later that he’d better see a lawyer and a doctor. As it stands, he has a busted up disc, and may have to have back surgery, but is resisting that. He’s going to a chiropractor. He bought a new great big truck (no more small cars, said Nancy) and I guess his medical bills are being paid. (I hope). Still….he’s left with a lifetime problem.

Our family has it’s share.

I called Lainie tonight, and she’s deathly sick with something that sounds like pneumonia to me. She said if she isn’t better in the morning, some friends will take her to the doctor.

NEXT FAMILY PROJECT

January 5, 2010 | Uncategorized | Comments [1]

If I can’t use my $25,000 well paid for(ok, very partially paid so far) skills for a real job that pays me, I suppose the next best thing for me to do is something for the family.  The fun facts went off so well that it is time to expand it into larger stories about the family. I know that whenever we get together we think of so many funny things to talk about and everything reminds us of something.

NO MATTER HOW SMALL or trivial you may think it is, please right it up and send it to me. Make notes when you think of something and then when you get a chance, type them up real good and send them to me. It is about time our huge family came together to create something good. Not sure if that came out how I wanted it to, but you get the jest.

KIDS, KIDS, KIDS. Our kids and grandkids do something everyday!! Take a minute to make some notes. These will remind you of other things and so on and so on.

KEEP SENDING FUN FACTS. I need them for more recipe cards.

OK, SHUTTING UP NOW. Don’t make me YELL AGAIN in a couple of months when I have been totally ignored again.

love you all, -carmen

RECIPE CARDS

January 5, 2010 | Uncategorized | Comments [1]

By now, most of you have your recipe books. Ben and Julie…I have yours printed and ready to mail. Just haven’t been able to actually take it to the post office yet. Everything is so far away from me it seems like. I promise I will mail very soon.

Some of you printed your own. Thank you very much!! I hope you like.

Thanks again to everyone that helped I hope you love and will keep forever and print extras for your kids and grandkids. It may be the only way we are remembered. :)

ALSO…I will continue to make the recipe cards and hopefully upload them as they are made so you can print them if you want them.  If you have recipe you want to add…send them to me and I will add them to the list. -carmen

Either I don’t have the right email address or you just stick at a simple reply that says ok.  I never know if you have gotten and email I sent. So…FYI: I have finished the recipe cards and emailed the info to you.  I would like to add them to a folder HERE so that everyone has access to them and can print them at leasure, but I am not sure the best way to do that.

AND…I know I mentioned this before, but maybe you could figure how to connect this to FACEBOOK.  I personally don’t pay much attention to my facebook, but if I am notified when through my email or maybe for those people that DO check their FAcebook more would be reminded of THIS WEBSITE a little more.   If you would like to make Jason and administrator on this, I can get him to do it.
