Fun with Food.

This is what we do for entertainment, we poor folk.

Special Olympics

Friday morning, Erin participated in Special Olympics, she was in the tennis ball throw. It was so cool. They even had volunteers clapping for the kids when they got off the bus. Erin had a great time, she tolerated it so much better than I thought she would. Of course, when the kid kept handing her the tennis ball, she would look at it, smile and hand it back to him. It took a little bit to get her to actually throw it. All the kids got medals, she got a second place medal. What a great thing. Lots of college students were volunteers, and most of them really seemed like they were happy to be there. I can't wait for next year. The lady holding Erin's hand is one of the aids from her classroom, so Erin was comfortable with her.

Tomorrow, we plant flowers, Mom, Al, Erin, and I picked out a bunch of flowers today and we will be outside planting tomorrow, even Erin will get in on the action. I'm not too sure that she'll be in charge of the watering, I don't think it's supposed to be that warm tomorrow. I'll make sure to take pics.

Post.

It's been a busy week. I've worked and Erin has had appts. Tomorrow night, we go take Holly to housetraining class. Friday, Erin has Special Olympics. I'll post more this weekend, I'm tired.

Doodles.

This is Doodles watering my veggies for me. She had a blast. It has been unseasonably hot here. We're talking upper 80's. It's supposed to cool down next week. We'll see.

Grandma Lisa

This is the proud grandma, my sister, Lisa and baby Jaden Lynn. Isn't she perfect? Now we just have to count down to baby Ben, also known as the baby I will be taking over, lol. Congrats, Trent and Jessica, and Grandma Lisa. Can't wait to hold her and look at her little feetsies.

Welcome, Jaden Lynn

So I'm a great aunt(but I knew that already, lol) Trent's fiance Jessica had the baby at 2:12 this morning. A little girl(which I totally predicted) weighing in at 8lbs 10 oz and 20 inches long. She has a head full of black hair. Lisa said Trent even cried. I told her I cry watching A Baby Story on TLC, so it's a good thing I wasn't able to go. Aunt Mimi would be all blubbery, that's okay, when Larry and Brittany have baby Ben(my name for him, they don't even know it's a boy, but Aunt Mimi is such a meddler, lol) I am so there. They live a lot closer than Trent and Jess. I keep teasing them that they have to bring the baby for Easter dinner, fresh babies can travel. Lisa is going to e mail me some pics and I'll post them. I also have pics from the weekend to post, but I have to go to town in 10 mins so I'll have to do it later.

Well, it looks like that baby is finally making her appearance tonight. Lisa called and was on her way. They started inducing Jessica and they are going to break her water. My nephew asked if I was going to go with his mom, but I can't on such short notice, the kids are on spring break. I would love to go. I was teasing Lisa and telling her that they can still come for Easter dinner, a fresh baby can travel. lol. Lisa will be calling me with updates. I told her to take plenty of pics.
