New things in your life and what they mean to you

Yes she does! We were expecting her to be here the 25th but it seems that Keely wasn't planning on that I don't know where she gets that stubborn stuff from so early. Thanks for responding and wishing us well.

Wow, that stinks...:( I have already heard some people shooting some off here and like Ca, it is illegal to set them off, but that doesn't stop those who insist on doing it. So, maybe I should water down my house before I leave for my neighbor's Saturday? Knowing my next door neighbor, if they don't go to the display or it is cancelled, they will set their own off..

hi carm wow just realized its not long til the fourth but hav e seen few firework stands for sale around.most cities here in Southern California in Orange county anyway forbid shooting off fireworks in your own yard. there are free firework displays all over orange county anyway.One year a condo in the complex we had lived in burned to the ground from fireworks flung onto the roof,nobody was home and the fire dept was not notified until the house was almost engulfed.the owners were down town at the city fireworks display.imagine coming home to find your home burned down completely wow.

There have been some major warnings here about fireworks. I have heard there might be some cancellations where the fireworks shows are concerned. We hit records temps here and things are very dry right now. It is scary. Keely is my first and I am very honored that Kimber followed a sort of tradition that I started. I gave her my mother's middle name and my other daughter, the other grandmother's middle name. Thanks for responding and I hope you have a great time at those parties.

The G-d had other plans. I missed the X Games And the Euro Cup because I had no power! But Friday Night I did get to see some swimming and yes there are some Goodies swimming for the U.S. The swimmer named Ryan , I'm calling 6 pack!

I was watching a little of the swim team try-outs the other night. There are a ton of sports coming up aren't there? I was taken by the sight of that little chunk..LOL...I am in love. Thanks for responding!

It's not going well, I'm afraid. Hopefully things will pick up soon!

I hope so too.

Thanks sacmom! How is the job front? I was hoping when I seen you that you would have some luck with that. I hope everything is well.

love it!! knew u would be that way.Grands are just precious.

Yes...I will answer to whatever she calls me. I am already crazy about her. I can really understand where your coming from when it comes to those grandbabies. A lady told me once that you actually love them as much if not more than your own children. I thought it was impossible at the time but I understand a bit more about that view now. All I can think about is kissing those little cheeks.

I bet she is a sweet li'l thing too. Can't see her real well in the pic. When my last grandchild(my grandson) was born I would go up to the hospital late afternoon and stay until 10-11p and would be holding the baby all that time unless someone else came up and wanted to. They only stay small for a very short time so takes lots of pics grandma. Enjoy!

I was at the hospital alot too. She had such a tough time with the labor that I hated to leave her for long. It also gave me a reason to care for the little one. I had a bracelet that allowed me access to the baby when I wanted..lol..so the moment I would walk in the hospital I would make a bee line to the nurses desk and ask for her. You should have seen me wheeling her down the hall and quietly into the room while her mom and dad slept. Here..maybe you can see this one better.

It is wonderful! I can't believe how crazy I am about her already and she has just been here a little while. I have always heard that you love them as much, if not more, than your very own children. I thought that would be impossible but I am doubting myself now. You know what they say about walking a mile..LOL..well...I'm looking at another view of life now I guess. Thanks for the congrats!

I am thinking it may be quite some time before I have another one. Give me lots of time to spoil my first one..LOL. I have been known to be wrong though..I wasn't exactly expecting Keely news when I got it. I have to say that some of the best things in life aren't planned perfectly. Thanks for responding!

It is supposed to be Meemee! But I will be anything that cutie calls me..LOL. I am adoring her! I think we all can use a little self renewal from time to time...awesome! Now that you mention it...I have a room I am wanting to clean out...LOL. Thanks for responding!

LOL...I have had to be away more time than I have wanted to be lately. Time certainly does fly. It seeems like yesterday I was changing her diapers and swaddling her and now..I am teaching her how to swaddle and change her own baby's diapers..lol. WOw...makes me feel like I've been around for a long time.

Heyya Shar! Thanks! How are things going on the housecleaning front? I have wondered about you and how things were working out.

Wow, it posted! I did get to post on the picture of you kissing Keely. All the best!

I know! Things have been quite nerve racking for me too where trying to post is concerned. Figures that I finally get some time off to come back and myLot bites the dust Thank you so much for the well wishes! I am glad that you came back to try again and post.

I do have a bit more spring in the old step. I am trying to get used to being "MeeMee" too. It sounds odd to me as well. I love her like crazy though so I guess I will just be anything she calls me.

Meemee actually started out as a joke when my children were little. When they were naughty I would tell them that it was ok...meemee had a plan. That when their children were born, Meemee would spoil them rotten and give them a taste of their own medicine I don't know where I picked up from to be honest...so it only seemed right that I would be Meemee after all the threats Thanks for the well wishes and blessings!

Good for you! I am glad to hear about the chapter! Sometimes that is exactly what we need! Thanks for the congrats and the well wishes! We are really enjoying her around here. She is a real breathe of fresh air.

Good for you! I could use one of those myself! Thanks for the congrats and they are doing very well.

Catepillar is quite international isn't it? I read that they are everywhere now. I bet they pay very well too. A guy I used to work with got a job at Catepillar and I knew if he was leaving what we pay engineers to go there, he was getting a sweet deal. I am not sure that I would want to live anywhere else, but I would love to visit as many places as possible. The only place out of country I have been able to go so far is Japan. It was a trip that I never thought I would have but I guess life has a funny way of surprising us. That name sounded familiar but I can't say that know him.

Thanks you laken! I am glad to hear your job is going well. It can make a world of difference to like what you are doing. What in the world is your sister doing in China? I would love to visit there. I bet your mom had an amazing trip and glad to be home. I have an older son that I am constantly hoping great things for but he sabotages himself to the point that I can hardly bear to think of it. It's tough. I love your attitude and I think that people that hold onto the good and let go of the bad..well...wonderful things will keep happening for them. You keep that close. Take care and thanks for the congrats.

your very welcom jen.. my sister married a guy and he got a job with caterpiller co.. and his wanted him to china for 4 years.. so that is why she was in china she stayed almost 3 years over there with him, and my mom went to vist for about 2 months, now mom is back :) she hated it over there.. and so did my siter after the new wore off, she also got to travel to japan alot with her hubby and they had all expensises paid house bills and all while in china so my sister and her two kids moved back to Illinoise, and bought a house, but her hubby has to stay one more year. in china, to fill the term he signed for his job i dont know why, but i have never wanted to go to another country, my brother and his wife lived a couple years in spain .. they said it was ok, he sent pics and they looked ,like terrible places to me.. he and his family are now moving from okalahoma, back to ky about 30 minutes from me and my mom.. so were all excited and my sister and the kids are im illinoise close as well.. so maybe God will allow all of us to be a family again, and repair what the devil tryed to destroy our family.. i have a queston for you ? do you know a guy named jason fox? i use to know a guy by that name he was from morristown tenn.. just wondering what ever happened to him.. take care, God bless you and your family :)

Oh yes...tons of fun. It does come as a bit of surprise for people that don't know me that I am a meemee. It flatters me for sure. Thanks for the congrats and I hope you have been doing well!

Thank you! As long as everyone around Miss Keely realizes that what I say is the important thing..well..I think we will all get along great.

Now if we can just bring everyone else on board with that, everything will be fine.

meemee know best!

I keep telling myself he is just young. I really want to like him but he doesn't make it easy sometimes. Keely is making it easier for me to be nice. As long as he does right by her and my daughter, I think it will be ok.

Hello my dear RitterSport! I am so happy to hear that you are still doing well and free. I do remember and I can not tell you how much I feel like you deserve that. Yes..I knew it might be a bit obvious that Keely Jenn was named after me I guess it makes me feel good to proclaim it. I am very proud of her and my daughter. Now that b/f, I still have my eye on him but he did well for her through the delivery. Thanks for responding.

I am so happy and glad to hear that this BF still supports your daughter and obviously wants to be a good partner to her and hopefully a good daddy to his child though he is a bit young.
