Everyone please check your tylenol, mortin, rolaids and such. There is a huge recall out by Tylenol...it has made people sick because of mold and mildew. We actually had several bottles that we had used. You can go to the Tylenol homepage and type in the lot number to determine if yours is recalled. Might be worth your time. We should probably check at grandma's too, or are they on stronger stuff than that???? Mom-Check the bottle that I gave you!

At this time I will share a conversation exchanged between Papa and myself at the dinner table this evening.

Papaw: "Addy hun ain't you gonna eat?"
Addy: "No Papa I'm ok. I already ate."
Papaw: "Whatsa matter? You afraid you gonna get fat?"
Addy: "You mean fatter?"
Mom: "Addy you want him to measure your waistline?"
Addy: "No I'm not pregnant. I don't have an excuse."
Papaw: "No yours is just fat."

Addy: "What Papa?"
Papaw: (smiling) Yours is just fat!"

Teresa suggested getting a tape measure, and Papa was happy to oblige the location of several.

Papaw: "I'd say about 38. 40."

I got the tape measure. Timmy measured my waist line.

Timmy: (surprised) It's 39!

The end!

P.S. There are no longer tape measures at Papaw's.

Monica you won't believe what grandpa did tonight! I will definately let Addy tell it though!

Yeah, Grandpa said he needed 50 inches of toilet paper! When we did measure my tummy it was 50 1/2 inches. He's still got a good eye him :)

You are so right! When Momma gets to laughing she does sound just like her old self. Vonda, when we were at Mom's and the ladies did a shower for Monica we went around the room and guessed how much Marleigh would weigh. Colin said she would weigh 8 lbs and 3 inches! I ask him if he was sure, he said yes and repeated it! He has been listening to his Gramma, "All things are possible with God." Daddy looked at her and guessed almost exactly how big around the baby she was. We were using toilet tissue to guess. But it wouldn't do but for Dad to go get a tape measure! He almost nailed it by sight! Mom said that day that she, with all of her babies, had had one baby shower in her life. She couldn't remember which child. I hope our kids realize just how blessed they are!

Sure hope everyone is enjoying the break in the weather,

Sounds like Mom and Dad are really being taken care of great.

Have to tell you I talked to Mom I think Wed, and its something I'll never forget,She started laughing and could'nt hardely quit. and I really enjoyed it Mom sounded like she used to , a very rare moment, but a great and wonderful one.

Monica sounds like you are coming along good cant wait for the blessed event and tons of pictures.sounds as though our family tree is growing by leaps and bounds, Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!1

You said Grandpa and Grandma are on the couch holding hands. I wonder what their angels talk about in their downtime! Those two angels probably take up all the extra space in that little living room! If only our eyes could see!
Yo Monica, If Marleigh is 5 lbs now and you have 7 more weeks to go, she might get to Colin's weight after all (8 lb and 3 ")!!!!!!!!!!! Yea! I just want her happy and healthy! A little headstart on life is a good thing!!

Hey everyone. I know that mom doesn't have internet so I just thought I would give you an update on today. Apparently the kids had a good time with grandma and grandpa. I am glad they get to spend time with them. Mom was mopping the floors when I got there and abouu 5 seconds later, Olivia busted her can on the wet floor. I don't think Trish was feeling well today. Steve was on his way in...with some glue or something. David and Julie broke down in Statesville and are apparently having their vehicle fixed. They plan to arrive tonight around midnight. Grandma and grandpa were sitting on the couch holding hands, which is where they spend most of their time these days! Love to all!

Emily~Nice couch! Everything looks so pretty...nothing like that room you used to live in!

Monica~ I would ask how you are feeling, but since you are ready to pop, I'm more concerned about Mark!

One more thing...Olivia and Kaiden are getting another new cousin as well. Matthew's sister is due in September!

52 degrees and loving every minute of it!!!!!!! Today has been beautiful :) I had another dr's appt this morning and things are going well. He said that the head was down and she was in the right position. He's guessing that right now she weighs about 5 lbs. I have 7 weeks and 1 day to go till the due date. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying some warmer weather. Talk to you later :p

Bobbie, thanks! And I think we are actually 'everything in it's place' people, it just doesn't happen all the time, lol. I've seen Corey's pictures on facebook and he is getting some awesome shots!

Emily, your place is so neat! Are you two always that "everything in it's place." Is this the professional Emily? Corey is experimenting with his camera now, taking some pretty pictures.
I so hope Momma is not too sore when she gets up in the morning! God surely has been with her in her falls. Her little bones have been taking a beating tho'.

Rita just called and said Mommy fell in the kitchen. She found her on her back. Don't know if she was dizzy, feet tangled or blood pressure dropped. But of course she said she didn't hurt anywhere, so......

Zac and I rearranged our living room last week while we were on break. He also put up a shelf that Daddy made (last picture). I think it looks really good!

We all had a good day I think. Daddy is eating soooo much better. He had been taking some medicine for his arthritis and it "supposedly" wasn't supposed to hurt his stomach, but anyway I told him to stop it last sunday just in case and I think that has helped, not to mention the prayer that Elliott led before everyone left. He has been going out and plowing the hill himself and I think that has even helped his spirits. Steve, when I went up today, I offered to clean off the table you guys moved into the living room and asked him if he wanted it moved back. He was quick to respond that "No, Steve was coming back on Friday and you all were gonna work some more" He got out the "nut box" today and started cracking. He wants me to make him some candy! They did eat a good dinner AND supper. They both ate cheese burgers and homemake french fries, fried onion rings, pickled beans! After that Mommy got on one couch, I got on the other and Daddy got in the chair. Danny and the boys went to Wal Mart and we slept for about 2 hours. Fixed chicken dumplins for supper and we all ate good! Daddy had his guns out today showing them to tanner and Jacob, they really enjoyed that. He was telling them who gave them to him and different things about them. I think he is really enjoying the company. I think he probably talked poor Cindy to death. Mommie said she got sleepy and just told them they could stay up but she was going to bed. LOL
Well gonna call it a night.
Love to all,
Trish

I went up today with Mommy and Daddy, Zac and the boys. Grandpa was working on the mandolin when we got there. We made hamburgers and homemade french fries. Zac has been frying onions and eating those in place of french fries (he's on Atkins) so we made some and Grandma really liked them. They both ate pretty well I think. Oh, and mommy told me that Steve didn't really need me on Fridays, so I won't be up there then.

We start back to school tomorrow...Tanner and Jacob got just as much break as we did! As did Addy and Janet I guess.

Hope Olivia and Kaiden have fun at Grandma's!

Steve- always nice to have an update. Matthew laughed outloud about Grandpa cutting his hair. Danny- Nice of you to join us! I will take the kids up in the morning around 8- delay again- and they will spend the day with grandma and grandpa "twedway". They are all looking forward to it, I think! I will stay tomorrow evening if mom needs me to. Love to all! Janet

Well Hello Danny! Good to see you:) And glad you filled us in about the weekend, Steve. I am getting ready to go up and spend the week. Cindy stayed Saturday and Saturday night. Cindy if you are on here, fill us in on your time there. Olivia and Kaiden will be visiting some this week so I know Mommy and Daddy will enjoy them. Not to mention, Olivia and Kaiden love it too. Kaiden sticks to Mommy like glue. One day when he was there, she said "It don't seem like no time that David Samuel was that little." They (all 4 of them) will be napping from about 12:30 til 2:30 so if you need anything, call or text my cell. That darn phone is so loud! Talk to ya'll Friday.

I had a good weekend at Mom and Dads. I got there late Thursday because I was driving in a mess of snow. I don't know if you all remember, but Trish and Dan got Dad a mandolin kit for Christmas. He said he wouldn't be able to put it together, so I told him I would help. Timmy and Cindy came over on Tuesday night and he helped me put the neck on the body. After I got to Daddy's', we worked on it till 10:00. Mommy fell asleep on the couch. The next morning after breakfast we started on it again. We worked on it most of the day except for taking a break for lunch and to plow the hill again!!! Mom ate good as usual and Dad had a good lunch. I fixed potato soup and cornbread. Dad got up sometime in the middle of the night to cut his hair. He said it was aggrevatin' him so he just got up and cut it off. He just laughed about that. I left the next morning after breakfast and plowing the hill again!!! Daddy was in good spirits all the time I was there. He even got one of his old mandolins out and said he was going to work on it this week while I was gone. I brought the new one back to do some finishing touches on it before we polyurethane it. Love you all, Steve.

Well here I am but only by force by my lovely wife! Probably won't contribute much, but I will be peeking in from time to time to keep up with the family! We are headed to grandma and grandpa's to spend the day there.
