Monday

Went and did my usual work out this morning..then sailed into the gas station on fumes to fill my tank. Came home and Nicole and Stella came in shortly after. Had to go to a couple of stores and then back home to make 5 pounds of 90% lean ground beef into meatballs..Then we watched Tyler Perry's " I can do bad all by myself". Did some burgers on the grill, Nicole and I did dishes and now its off to the Missions Conference at Church..Yahoo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to get home though coz I'm sleepy.

Stella Thinks She's 10 foot tall

I had to take my babies home today

and its very quiet here...But I did get to spend the day with Nicole. Jim left this morning to move their stuff to Tennessee..He'll fly home Thursday and stay until the 3rd of April when he'll drive back to Tennessee and try to find a job. Nicole is going to try and stay in the apartment until April 3rd and then she'll probably move in with us until the middle of May. She has the cutest little pup. I'll upload a pic at the end. The trans axle in my van has been clunking when it shifts. I've been trying to figure out when I'll have time to get it in and get it fixed. Today Nicole and I went to Wegmans and as we pulled in the parking lot the van started making a weird noise which I quickly figured out was the power steering. Got home checked the fluid level and there wasn't any..off to Auto Zone I went to buy some. I bought the kind that is supposed to seal leaks. Hoping that takes care of that problem. I really can't afford a car payment right now.

Post Zoo Update

We spent better then 2 hours at the zoo...oh my aching feet..Supper tonight was Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets, French Fries and Pizza..then it was bathes for the kiddos and we watched 2 movies via Netflix live stream. They were in bed before 8:30. I spent an hour or so uploading pics onto facebook. Can't download the updated photo uploader for some reason so uploaded 51 pics ..5 at a time.The crew will be expecting pancakes in the morning before church so now off to bed with me..Ken went over an hour ago...he's snoring..I can hear him from here...LOL. And I talked him into going to McDonald's and getting me an M & M McFlurry...he's a good guy...LOL

Week end so far

Took the kiddos to Bounce It Out Friday...2 solid hours of running, jumping, bouncing and sliding..Ken got out of work early so he met us at Wendy's on Monroe Ave for lunch. Came home and all 3 kids took a nap. I had to wake Ian up at 4:30 for supper. Last night was Reformer's Unanimous. Pastor preached a great message on being able to be used of God no matter what we've done. It was great. Ken, Ian and I went and did the grocery shopping this morning while Kayla and Colin hung out at home with Aunt Jen. We were going to go to the zoo today but its a little cool out. OH OH...the boys are going in to ask Poppy (that's what they call Ken ) if we can go to the zoo...so cool or not we may be going...He said we can...so I guess its off to the zoo.

Yahooo

Grand babies are here though they aren't much of babies anymore..Kayla is 7 and the boys are 4..I love it when they're here. We were sitting on the couch..Colin, me (with the laptop on my lap) Ian and Kayla looking at pictures I took in Colorado. I kept leaning over and kissing the boys on top of the head..Colin looks at me and says," Nana...why do you always kiss us? " I said, "Because I love you." He said," Oh...ok"...end of conversation. LOL Its going to be a very busy 2 1/2 days. I should sleep very well by Sunday night. But I wouldn't change it for the world..

Back by popular demand..ME

Sorry I haven't blogged much lately but Life has gotten in the way. My heart is heavy that my baby girl is moving away..Ken, Jen and I went to Colorado March 4th though the 8th. Had a good time with Shaun and Heather. It probably is the last time we'll go to Colorado. Shaun goes to Missouri the end of May until the middle of August for MP training..then he's going to be stationed at Fort Drum in Watertown. At least maybe I'll get to see him once in a while. On the day we left we had to say good bye to sweet Heather...Shaun's now ex-wife. We flew out at 1:10 for Rochester, she flew out of the same airport at 1:43 bound for 2 years in Germany. We got to have lunch together before we left. It was very sad. I've been going to the gym but I'm not seeing much happening. Hopefully I'm building muscle coz I'm sure not losing any weight. Been spending time with my Auntie and cousin. My cousin and her husband are over the road truckers..so they're in and out. Its really been great connecting with family again..we've spent to many years apart. Mom went to the back doctor today and found out she has arthritis in her back. Next week she goes for a shot and then some physical therapy. My sister's boyfriend is having hernia surgery May 3rd. Its very risky surgery because he's over weight and the hernia is rather large. So we have that to look forward to. Ok..gotta run...grandkids are on their way. I'm thinking tomorrow is going to be Bounce It Out and Saturday may be the zoo..Haven't really decided yet..the fun part about being Nana is I can spoil them and then send them home...LOL
