Hey everyone, I was just getting caught up on the blog.   Love all the pictures and hearing about how everyone is doing.  Easter sounds like it will be fun.  I hate that we will not be able to attend this year.  Although, I must say I am looking forward to warm weather at the beach:)  I do have a question for the females in the family.  Is there some unwritten rule somewhere that maternity bathing suits can only come in flamingo print or polka dots?  lol Really?  As if I need to draw attention. 

I do need some ideas for those of you more experienced at the Easter Bunny thing and I know that some of you are because no matter how hard we tried, we could never catch him.  lol Since we won't be home on Easter...some of you with creative minds share your ideas:)  Doing the Easter Bunny thing in a hotel is definitely not like being at grandmas, but it will have to do this year! 

I think we are going to have to change the date of the shower from Memorial Day weekend.  It is looking like we will do it the weekend before.  Teresa and Trish, we were looking into doing the scrapbook thing like you guys did so I will need your ideas.  Is there anyone that would be able to come that would be willing to take pictures for me???  Emily, I need to book a session with you as soon as the baby is born!  Ok what I really mean is we need to get together, eat and take pictures!  Lol 

Kim, if there is anything I can do to help in your new business, let me know.  I have lots of supplies that you could have for doing parties because I don't really have time to do those anymore.  SO excited for you.  I am sure that you will love it:) 

Miss you all so much!  Love you too:) 
Have a great Day!
Janet       

Goldie, Thanks for sharing.   

Teresa, I will bring something.  If you can find out for sure, if Marcia is coming and if she isn't bringing rolls, I'll make them.  I will bring baked beans and potatoes of some kind.

O My Word!!!!  After I got up off the floor from rolling and laughing, I just had to share this!  This is a classic!!

IDIOT SIGHTINGHow would you pronounce this child's name?
"Le-a"
Leah?? NO
Lee - A?? NOPE
Lay - a?? NO
Lei?? Guess Again.
This child attends a school in Kansas City, Mo.
Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.
It's pronounced "Ledasha".
When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."

SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce the dash.If dey axe you why, tell dem de dash don't be silent.

I thought a platter of chicken would be easy and I will pick up some roles I can get a few drinks also. Amy you can help out with that if you would like.  Rita you can make baked beans or your great slaw, you can get Addie to make a dessert and if Tim and Cindy come she can bring maybe a potatoe or macaroni salad.  Just throwing out suggestions you guys can put on the blog what your going to bring so no one else brings the same thing.  Trish the kids all love your crockpot meals so which ever ou choose would go with the chicken.  I think since there isn't going to be many of us that wold be good.  I may get Kelsey to make some of her cupcakes and I'll have Andy and Kim bring some drinks also.
Bobbie-you were right I had forgotten about Cindy and Tim saying they were going to be coming, thanks for reminding me.  I have not heard from any of Lonnie's bunch, not sure about any of them.  If you see any of them tell them about it.  Thanks and love you all!

michelle's birthday

For this from Goldie :)

Hey There,

I was at Michelle's Birth.We took Julie to the Hospital in Hinton... Had to take Timmy with us ..He had stayed with us when you all had gone to Artie..We just barely got julie to Hinton...Michelle was in a hurry..The Dr,just got there...

It was quite a day..Julie had walked from our house to the mailbox and back,as she came into the house when her water broke..I was so glad God had lead David not to go to work that day,,,

 

Love  Goldie

Steve and Teresa, I am not sure we will come yet or not.  If we do, I'll bring food.  I thought I read where Timmy and Cindy had logged in that they were coming.

As I used to say in college "you fly, I'll buy"meaning I will send the money if someone else gets the food...don't make anything fancy for us.

We are not planning to come down Easter.  Have fun without us.

Saturday, the 30th,  Yes, Blain and I will be there.  What can I bring or buy?  You shouldn't have to buy all the food.  We can cook something simple...Brown Beans and Corn Bread, fried potatoes, etc.  Or how  about one of Steve's famous Breakfast's (Brunch) for lunch?  Especially if there isn't going to be very many of us.  What do you say?   It's not about the food, but the time together!  We could chip in on breakfast food!  Just a thought

Easter get together

I still need to know from a few of you who is going to be here for Easter or if you even want to get together at all.  Amy said her and Greg would be in Addie said her and Paul didn't have plans but I think that is the only ones.  I need to know what to do about food if you guys do want to get together. I was thinking about getting a chicken tray from Walmart, rolls and a couple of sides such as baked beans, slaw, potatoes salad, and a few desserts.  Someone could also bring drinks.  I have all the paper goods and plastic wear.  Please let me know if you want to do this it would be Saturday the 30th around 12 or 1.  I need to know the time is drawing near.

I also go tomorrow for a CT scan of my sinuses to make sure there is nothing abnormal going on.  For those of you who don't know I have been without taste or smell since October and the ENT specialist that I went to see doesn't think I will regain those senses.  He just needs to try to find out why I lost them in the first place.

Happy Birthday to Michelle and Bobbie, hope you both have a blessed day.   Love you all!

Happy Birthday Bobbie, Hope you are having a blessed day, Love you .

Happy birthday Bobbie and Michelle! I remember being down on the river when we heard that Michelle had entered the family. Bobbie were you there or do you remember?
Tanner is taking me to Morgantown today for recheck on the hands. It was so snowy they called school off today. I have worked everyday this week and will tomorrow. I got 2 calls during church to work today plus 5 more when I got home! I do believe if a person wants to work there is some kind of work out there!
We are going to pick emily up and have lunch with her before heading back home. Zac is working. I called Lonnie to get an update on the roads before we headed out of greenbrier county because I knew he would be out plowing. He was actually in Fairmont which is only 15 minutes from Morgantown putting in cell towers! So I called the next in line: Bobbie shawn. It's nice to have people that know everything! I think for any problem I have there is someone in my family that knows the answer❤
So here's a problem for you mechanics out there, Bobbie be sure And ask Adam and Corey! I filled my windshield washer up in my car and nothing comes out. The wipers wipe but nothing comes out in either the front or back. It isn't stopped up or frozen. Any ideas?

Happy Birthday Michelle!!  I wish you many more and an extra special day!

Happy Birthday Bobbie!!  May you have many many more and may all your kids take extra long naps today!  I hope you have a nice time with your family!!  Know we are with you in our hearts!

Happy, happy birthday, Bobbie!  I hope your family does something extra special for you to celebrate.

Thank you Marleigh!  Happy Birthday Michelle!  We share this day that God made for us.  I pray His blessing upon you today!

I am a few hours early but.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY NINA!!!!

Congratulations Colin!  I wish I could have seen you bowling!  First place is nothing to sneeze at!

Miss Marleigh Raine!  You are just too handsome for your height!

And look at the form on those bowlers!  Colin would have loved to have gone to that birthday party!  He has bowled on a league for several years now, and on Sunday he bowled in a Special Olympics bowling tournament, and he got first place on his team (there were only two bowlers) and he was just so excited!
