Vonda, what was that you were saying about water???  :) 

Marsha just called and said that Sues dad died earlier in the week. His services are tomorrow at Wallace's in rainelle at 2.

Well guess what Im going to be a great grandma again , Rebecca and Justin are expecting , Due date is in Sept. I think .

Wow!  So excited for you, Kim and Andy:)  Guess our little ones will have cousins their age...and we all know how much trouble they are bound to end up in.  Haha  However, I am sure that their grandmas aren't quite as free with the furniture polish or the blankets to cover windows as ours was. 

Monica~  Do we need to put a ban on all threats on the blog?  Lol looking forward to Saturday! 

Today, Kaiden turned five...hard to believe it has been that long. 

Love to all~ Janet   

WOW!!!!  Congrats to Andy, Kim and Mason :)  The water's fine in our neck of the woods.  However, I use a Brita filter on all our water lol.

So excited for you all and all these new babies! But yes...please keep that stuff away from me for at least another few years! I already have something that won't let me sleep or stay out late, haha.

Zac and I have just been staying busy in Morgantown. He is taking online classes (should graduate this December!!) and working and I have anatomy this semester which requires me to be in lab a lot, so we don't have too much time to spare. I always make time to check in here and see how everyone is doing though!

I shadowed the hospital chaplain today and we saw a sweet little lady named Edith. She told us she was blessed whether she gets better or whether she doesn't and that whatever happened would only make her faith stronger. Made me think of Grandma. =)

Love and miss you all!

Yes, Congratulations Kim and Andy, Steve and Teresa, and Kelsey too! Little Mason is getting a sibling!  Yeah!!!

Congratulations! Whatever you all are drinking, keep it away from Emily until she gets through Med school!

Hey whats going on here? is there something in the water you guys are drinking??????woah  congratulations , you guys just keep them coming, Mommie ans Daddy would be so proud , I can just hear them Now...:)

Well Congratulations!! All Ya'll!!

guess What?!?!?!?!

Me and Steve are going to be a Nana and Paw Paw again.  Kim found out today that she is 7 weeks pregnant putting her due date some where around Sept. 23rd.   Yah hoo!!!!!!!!

Congrats Janet and Matthew on your lil boy!

Keep the faith Steve , God will work it out , Maybe today isnt the day, but it will come .

God has a plan for us all Steve!  Don't despair!

Electrical Teaching position

I just wanted to let everyone know that I did not get the job. I got a call today and they said I was next in line if the other candidate didn't work out.

Congratulations to everyone!  I agree with Bobbie - Mandolin does not seem to be male or female.  However, Mandol is a prescription drug.  I looked up Brandolin (I like that, too) and I found it as a last name in the U. S. and Canada.

Dolin Name Meaning - Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic):  habitational name from any of several places in Ukraine and Belarus called Dolina, from Slavic dolina ‘valley’.  French:  metonymic occupational name for a carpenter, from a derivative of doler ‘to shave or plane’.  Probably a variant spelling of Dolen.

Why can't you still name him Mandolin?  Why does that have to be a girl's name? We'll call him Dolin or Mandol!  Or you could call him Brandolin! Possibilities are endless.  He will be special no matter what you call him because God is forming him even as we speak!  That is soo AWESOME!  Anyway CONGRATULATIONS  Blain and Rita on your new grandson!  Olivia and Kaiden on your new brother!  And Congrats Mom and Dad on your new son about to enter your world!  We all have a great responsibility to teach and train him in the ways of the Lord!  I'll pray for him!  Janet and Matthew I'm so excited for you!

Wooohooo!!!  What do Kaden and Olivia think about a new brother?   :)

IT'S A BOY!!

Lazy Sunday

I would like to ask you all to remember me, mom and the kids in prayer today. Help me Lord to trust and obey.

Good for you Trish, And it sounds like you liked it!

What a long but busy day. I caught the bus at 625 and didn't get off til 445! I worked at the high school with a gal with CP and my day breezed by. Her aide is still sick and they have asked me to work for again tomorrow:)

Trish, I pray that God makes it a joyful, happy day filled with His Presence!  God is good!!

Trish, you have a Blessed Day, Love you.

God go with you today Trish!

I got my first call! I catch the bus in the morning at 6:25 in lewisburg and I work at greenbrier east all day! So you guys say lots of prayers throughout your day tomorrow! Even if its a little one❤

And yes Daniel he is:). If you ever want it, you know where it is!

That would be me. I can't remember what year it was but I think it was when Mr. Hill was the shop teacher.
Dad would be proud that you are using it Jacob.

Does anyone recognize Jacobs gun cabinet on his wall?
Jacob called steve to see if he was using and it was in the basement collecting dust so steve brought it over and they hung it up. I know there is a story behind the guncase. I remember I think that Daniel and Lonnie made it in shop class at west. Is that right? Or it may have been David. I just remember it being one if the boys projects. Please share! Jacob is enjoying it and I have to admit I like having it and remembering.....

Janet, first of all I don't take kindly to your threats whether they be directly from you or through a second party!!  :)  You talked about Bobby Shawn leaving you in the dust on the road and we know how well you keep it between the lines anyway, so I thought my comment was fitting :P  And yes, we definitely need to get together so I can give you the baby stuff I have.  I'll be getting in touch with you on the 4th if I don't hear from you first.  Can't wait :)  Love to all

Steve, Have you heard if you got the job?  That will be great!  If  it has already been posted, sorry I missed it.  By the way it will take you about a week to correct Teresa on that 7-2:30 and summers off comment.  LOL  Please do that asap...Love you Teresa! 

Teresa, Do you have any ideas frim the shop for something cheap for my kids for V Day...doubt that my boys want roses.  I have 14 so put your creative mind to work.  You guys will deliver to the school that day right? 

Monica, How are you liking your day job?  And really?  Bobby Shawn and I drive nothing alike and I feel sure he would smack you for saying so.  Pretty sure he still holds a grudge over his four-wheeler.  I need to get in touch with you, probably after the 4th so we can go from their and see if I need all that girl stuff...let's keep our fingers crossed.  :) 

Trish, got your post on facebook and I will get on right on that. 

Hope everyone is staying warm.  We got two snow days last week which was unexpected.  Olivia played her basketball game today and did a great job.  I think the adults have more fun watching than the kids do though.  They are so comical.  She took the ball from another little girl and didn't even dribble.  Just went running Haha!  Kaiden will be five next week and I need prayers on Friday because there will be several four- five year olds here for his party.  Not sure how that is going to work out.  Anyway, love you all.  Hope to see you soon!

Janet 

I start when they call! It just depends on when someone else calls in. I will fill in for the nurse and also can fill in for the aide. Me and one other nurse are the only fill ins for the county. I pretty much will never know my schedule ;)

Soo, Trish, do you start on Monday?  When will they let you know something Steve?

Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes Love you All.

I, too, was wondering how the interview went Steve! And Monica, Paul and I were in Sam's looking around and they have the Gruyere cheese for those tailgate sandwiches!

How did the interview go Steve?

Happy Birthday Vonda!!!

Just think this Los like 30 years ago when steve and I were going to school together. Only this time we are in different county's! Praying for you today steve!
I am excited to get started!

Steve's Interview

Hey everyone Steve has an interview today at noon so please be in prayer for him.  He is interviewing for a teaching position with Raleigh County at ACT which is a vocational school, if he gets the job(when he gets the job) he will be teaching Electricity.  He will have all the benefits of the school working 7am - 2:30pm and summers off. (why couldn't he have had this opportunity when I was working with the schools in Virginia?!?!?)  Love you all Teresa

Happy Birthday, Vonda!  I hope you have a beautiful day.  Don't think of it as gettin' older, Just better!  You go girl!

Happy birthday mom and dad

Happy birthday to my beautiful mom. To dad, happy birthday in heaven. I love you both.

Happy Birthday to you Vonda!

Happy Birthday Vonda!

Wonderful news ladies!!!  Praise the Lord!! 

I have a Praise report within a prayer request! Prayer request: I have another kidney stone and spent all day yesterday in the hospital. I need to pass this thing, and quick! Praise report: The pain from this stone wasn't half as bad as the other 5 and I went through the worst of the pain before I even got to the hospital and got meds! I could actually tolerate the pain this time, not that I want to do it again, but after experiencing the pain from the others, I think God knew I couldn't handle it yesterday morning and he was merciful!

So happy for you Trish, I knew you would do just fine, Glad reesee is doing good too.

Love those PRAISE REPORTS of all kind!  Anyone else have a praise report for the Lord?

Yeah Reese!!  Anyone reading this blog who doesn't know us, know 3 things  for sure, about the Treadway's.  We love God, our kids and our animals :)

Reese

Reese went to the doctor for a check up and had her staples removed. They said she was looking good and she is feeling like her old self!

Thanks for the prayers! Today was info input overload! I will be working with pre k which includes 3-4 year olds and special Ed. And as a nurse I will be working with the diabetic kids. It felt good to be in the working field again even if it is part time!

Laundry Buddy

I can just hear Mommy saying to you with that big smile of hers, "Trish, don't forget all things are possible with God!"

Trish, you are going to do fine think positive , I can do all things through Christ who strengths me. and He will .

Trish, I understand how you are feeling.  I think about it all the time...if I had to go back to work...as a nurse.  I would feel like I didn't know anything.  But you have so much more knowledge than you realize...And you've already done the "hard stuff" in nursing.  Besides, God isn't going to give you a job that you're not equipped for!  Just look at the practice (training) and patience you've had with kids.  You have been in training all your life for this job!!  And Danny helped you prepare by being so loving and caring of all our (and everyone else's) kids.  I know it's hard to see, but God has a plan and he just wants you to trust Him so He can show you how faithful He is.  I can see you, one day, being an advocate for children.  You never know what God has planned SO don't think small.  He is a GREAT GOD.  And I believe He will show Himself mighty on your behalf.

Janet, No boy's name?  Do you know something I don't know??

The temp is reading 10 degrees and the forcast said that we could have 25 mph wind gusts.  Well, I'm here to tell ya, the wind is whistling DIXIE across this ridge this morning.  I wish I could measure the wind chill factor up here :O

Tomorrow is my first day of orientation! You guys say a prayer for me I am so nervous. It's been a long time-8 years- since I have had a job:) I have set two alarms because I am so worried I will over sleep!!! Everyone tells me it's like riding a bike? I am not so sure:(

Janet, I love Mandolyn Kate!!  So unique :)

Hello Everyone! Where in the world were those pictures of the snow? Lol Surely somewhere else didn't get slammed and not us? Monica, I love the pictures since we haven't had any snow. Marleigh looked like she was having so much fun sleigh riding.

Trish, how is Andrew and how are things going with your job? Have you worked yet and do you like it so far? We are going to have to get out your way, but we haven't because of all the snow...yeah right:) Anyway, all is good with the baby. We find out what it is on Feb. 4th. We have no idea on a boy name, but we like Mandolyn Kate for a girl. Olivia really wanted Merida, but she lost out on that one. The kids are going with us to the ultrasound and they are so excited!

I miss you all and think of you often. I read the blog as often as I get a chance, just don't always have time to post.

Love you, Janet

Greg Scott Performs Ashokan Farewell - Manchester Candlelit Vigil

I thought Adam was driving a tractor trailer but I was wrong, my bad :)  This was once they got off the road at his friends house.  Glad they were safe!!

Here's some pics of Rt. 100 last night I was talking about earlier.  The road has since been opened back up as far as I know.

Trish, I will be praying for your job and Andrew!!  I hate when the little ones feel bad :(  Addy, loved the chandelier :)  I haven't been able to get pics yet.  It never quite got warm enough to go sledding.  With Marleigh just getting over bronchitis and pnuemonia I want to be careful taking her out.  I think it's supposed to be a bit warmer tomorrow so we'll try for that :)

Oh by the way, our blog is just under 200 views of being visited 100,000 times!  Just think how much we have shared in those pages!

Addy I love your light!  Tell Paul I have some little projects to do at my house!  He needs to come on out.  I doubt the pay will be good but I can feed him and he can always get slobbers from Gracie for free!!  I told Jacob today that we had a lot to do around outside in the yard and powerwashing the house and garage.  He is already planning out his garden for next year:)  Daddy would have been really proud of him and his green thumb.  Except I can hear him now, Jacob you should plant some flowers in that garden!

I start training for my job next tuesday and thursday then just be available when needed.  You guys pray that this will turn into a fulltime job or at least that I can get enough hours to pay the bills:)

I have a prayer request for one of the twins I babysit!  Andrew had tubes placed in his ears and adenoids removed on Monday.  He has had a fever ever since and he went back to the Dr yesterday and he has pneumonia in his l. lung.  Poor little guy stayed with me on Wednesday and he just wasn't his normal rambunctious little self!

Monica we are still waiting on your pictures of the snow!  When we went to Lewisburg today it was so wierd, there was no snow until we hit Alta and then it started piling up.  I think it paralyzed the eastern end:)

Ruth, I love The Message version of the Bible!  Sometimes when I can't understand any other version, that is what I turn to.  Its kind of like the Bible for Dummies!  lol or Hillbillies:)

Janet how are you and the baby coming along?  Daniel and Alice hope all is well with you guys!  David how are your check ups coming?  I was talking to David and Susan Hutsenpiller about all of you guys and David said he went to school with a David Treadway but he wasn't MY brother he didn't think.  He said he was just a couple years behind him in school:)  I told him Yep!  that would be my brother.  Vonda, how are things in Michigan?  I was hoping to get up to see you but I don't know when that will happen.  I feel like quite the homebody!  If you can get away from home you can always come visit and pack a bag and stay awhile.  I would love to have the company.  I think some of my neighbors (Rita, Steve, Lonnie) would love to have a visit too.

Well I am going to go watch The Avengers thanks to Steve!  Night all,
Love you guys,

Hey Everybody,

Seems like everyone has kept power through the storm! That's wonderful! I did not work yesterday because we had a (Snowless) Snowday! All of the surrounding counties cancelled school really early yesterday morning, but they kept pushing back the time when the storm was supposed to hit here. Well, it never did! It was colder than blue blazes yesterday but I barely had 2 flakes on my porch this morning. So today feels like Monday, and I bet they will wait until the last minute to call off school from now on! 
Monica, it does take me a while to clean my table off! I took some pictures on my phone but they don't do my "chandelier" justice! I will post them anyway. Stay warm everybody!

We plan on going out in a little bit after it warms up some.  I'll get some pics then provided that my camera works (it's been acting up on me).  It took Corey about 3 hours to get home last night when it usually takes 25 minutes.  He got stopped on interstate around Radford due to an accident.  Adam and a co-worker were on their way to Bluefield from Norton, driving tractor trailers, and had to stay over in Lebanon.  Luckily Adam has a friend who lives there and they stayed with him.  We have a cousin who was coming back from Daleville and he sat in traffic for 4 hours in between Ironto and Christiansburg.  I think he got home around 10ish.  There were trees down on rt 100 between Pearisburg and Dublin so 100 was closed for quite some time.  We had some friends that were trying to make it into work and off course they couldn't.  It's mostly a two lane road through there and from the pics there was no way anyone could turn around so I'm guessing they sat there for some time as well.  We had the scanner on all evening and it was one hot mess.  Kudos to all the officers, ems, firemen/women and anyone else who were out and about helping people.  I stayed at work till 4 and took my sweet time coming home.  At that time there wasn't a whole lot of people on the roads.  At least this morning we woke up to sunshine.  I don't think I've seen it since Saturday when it was 70 degrees :)  It has rained almost everyday this week and I'm talking some heaving rain.  We also had all kinds of roads in the county and surrounding counties closed due to flooding yesterday before the snow ever got here.   Praise the Lord that he has kept us all safe through this.  It is a beautiful morning!! 

That one came from the South and by the time it got here, it had fizzled out.  We barely got enough snowflakes to tell that it had snowed.  However, it is a might colder.  It's 20 now...a big difference from last week!  Lewisburg got pounded though.  But of course, for them, 7 inches is a near blizzard.  Yeah, Monica, Post some pics.

Boy howdy is it ever snowing down here in Virginia!  So pretty.  Monica post us some pictures please!

The closest thing to a hillbilly Bible that I know of is the Message Bible.  One of the girls in my Bible study at work calls it "her homey Bible."

I love the 10 commandments.  I made a copy and sent to my pastor.  I told him that if God had sent him up the mountain instead of Moses, this is what we would've had!  He is SUCH a country boy.  I wish somebody would write a Hillbilly version of the bible.  I would LOVE to read it.

Love the decorations Teresa:)

THE HILLBILLY TEN COMMANDMENTS

1.  Ain't but One God.

2.  Honor yer Ma and Pa.

3.  No tellin' tales or gossipin'.

4.  Git yer hide to Sunday meetin'.

5.  Ain't notin' come before the Lord.

6.  No foolin' with another feller's gal.

7.  No killin', sept fer critters.

8.  Quit yer foul mouthin'.

9.  No swipin' yer kin folks' stuff.

10.  Don't be hankerin' fer it neither.

I agree, Teresa, your decorations are gorgeous!

I recently saw a bumper sticker that I could sooooo identify with.  It read, JESUS IS MY GPS..."RECALCULATING"

Teresa, Your decorations are beautiful!

Valentine Decor

Love is in the air........ 

 

 

 

 

Hello

Hope everyone is doing well. The weather has been nice here. The frog was even taking a dip in the pond. I love the picture of Reese hanging off the couch. We are pretty busy just trying to stat afloat. Is anyone working on a project. Teresa I can't hardly wait to see your Valentine decorations.

Cookie and Reese

This past weekend our pastor, Pastor Joe, spoke on worry vs. peace.  He made a couple of very interesting comments which he attributed to Dr. Caroline Leaf, a South African Christian scientist who studies the brain (http://drleaf.com/about.php).  She has been to our church twice and she is quite fascinating.  She connects the way the brain works with the Bible.  Anyway, the comments were:

87% of illnesses can be attributed to our negative thought life, and approximately 13% to diet, genetics and environment.  (She explains why Jesus had much to say about forgiveness - that if you hold unforgiveness, it creates negative thoughts and causes all kinds of illnesses.)

Your body releases cancer cells and then it releases cancer-killing cells.  If you are under stress {worry}, the cancer-killing cells are attacked by chemicals released by stress and they can't do their work.

Pastor Joe said that in order to have peace, which is the opposite of worry, we must trust that God:

1.  Is always there.
2.  Is able.
3.  Is smarter than us.
4.  Will come through for us.

SOMETIMES GOD DOESN'T CALM THE STORM, HE CALMS HIS CHILD IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM.

Your fire looks so cozy, it is 27 degrees here this morning , after such a mild weekend.hope everyone is doing ok

Your hair is getting long Rita! 

Nice!!  Where's the marshmallows?   :)

2 pictures for you

Addy, how long does it take you to clean off your kitchen table?????

Her name is so appropriate!  And that does look like a comfy spot, they do know how to pick 'em.

Is Cookie's first name Oreo?  Middle name, Cookie?

Cookie makes a wonderful addition to the family! And I know Reese is thrilled to be at home in her own bed! Paul finished my mason jar light, and it looks pretty good! I will post pictures later, once I clean my table off! Love you all!

So glad Reese is back home!!  And what a cutie Cookie is...so adorable :)  Are they recovery well from their surgeries?
