Uncle Jim


I wanted to post a picture of my Uncle Jim that recently passed away. This was my mom's brother when he was in the army. He was a real knock out huh?

The wedding went really good! I ended up singing two songs. Everything went off without a hitch so I was really happy about that.

Ryan surprised me and took me to see my grandma after the wedding was over on Saturday. We had such a GREAT visit! I hadn't seen her or my aunts and uncles up there since Ryan's and my wedding TWO years ago! AHHH. They all came over and it was WONDERFUL getting to visit!

Grandma and I talked Mary Kay for a while since she used to be a consultant years ago. She pulled out some of her old products and we laughed at the changes. It was fun. Aunt Pat, Aunt Jeannie, and Alex came over next and we all sat around talking and playing with Ty.

Ty fell asleep then Uncle Ron, Aunt Mary, Courtney, and Conner came over. We had such a great time fellowshipping! It was SO good to see everybody again. Grandma kept us all in stitches with her stories. I hated to leave!

I bubbled about the trip to Ryan the whole ride back to our motel that was two hours away. It was just GREAT to see them all again! I told Ryan I didn't want to wait another TWO years before the next visit. Maybe at Thanksgiving time we'll get to make a quick trip up!

New Mom's Tip: Ask folks to go in on a really nice stroller! They're wonderful to have! My dad's sisters went in on a very nice stroller for Ty. The carseat we had fits right on it...it's one of those travel systems where you can click the carseat from the base right onto the stroller! It's a Graco and I love it!!!

Thanks Morgan!

Hey Terry! I'm awaiting the news too!!! I think I'm going to have to go over there for a visit and take Jo for a nice LONG walk and walk that baby out!

Aw Rach..I was lonesome for all my blogger friends to! You won't believe this but before I could get a pic of Ty and my Grandma my camera batteries DIED! AHHH...they're rechargable but it wouldn't turn on long enough for me to take a pic. The last picture I got was the one I posted of Ty and Uncle Ron.

Thanks Amanda..I think he was pretty handsome too! Yeah there are resemblances of Dusty in him. Hope you had fun at your ladies meeting!
