And Cathy and Caleb's new Bumble bee! (Has a very short stinger!

Guess Lar decided not to leave until Thursday! Good! Now he can help take calves to the sale! I am not feeding 10 babies!

Oct. 11,2011

Larry is going back to Texas. I am selling all the baby calves when he leaves. He hangs on to them and they'll be 2 years old if I don't watch him! LOL!Anyway...I don't want to do the chores! It is close to winter time. Who wants to milk or what ever in the winter! Not me. I am getting old and lazy!

Aiden and Damon Football 2011

Damon

Aiden #8!

Damons 6 pound catfish!!!

He kept bothering his Grandpa to take him fishing. They didn't have school today so off they went. A few weeks ago Larry caught a 4 pounder so I don't think he hurt his feelings too much!

The photos kind of speak for themselves! He was proud of this one! Wonder why!?

I am so tired! Larry left for corn harvest at Stinnett, Texas. So I am doing his work and mine! Oh, my! I need a nap! ALL THE TIME! LOL It won't last forever and he'll be back. I know he will for a day or so at the end of the month. He has a cousin coming from California he has never met and I know he is not coming all this way to see me! Since it is only 4 hours home he will come and meet him and visit. I think it is cool!

Alice and her Daddy

Alice has such beautiful curls. They are a little unruly like her! Isn't she beautiful?She is so good. Hard to handle sometimes like when she threw her head back when Mommy was holding her and felt like she broke her clavicle. But it was an accident. I call her "Toodles"! At least she knows when Grandma is there!

Bald is Beautiful!

i have had the priviledge to help take care of my

Beautiful Bald Sister! Many prayers have been said

and many have been answered. We only have 2

chemo treatments left! I was here 10 years ago.

But time goes so fast this stage will be over before

ya know it! Saves a ton $ on hair supplies and it is

comfy too! She has many scarves but I don't think

she needs one! Don't you think she is beautiful?

earth quake!

We had an earthquake! I was watching a movie and about 11:45 the whole house shook. I, at first, could not figure it out! It only lasted about 10-15 seconds but was I weirded out! At first I was thinking what would do that? And then duh!A little voice told me it had to be an earthquake. Who do you call at that time of night. I woke Larry up but it was like talking to someone that was asleep.Imagine that. The next morning he didn't remember why I woke him up! Who ya gonna call? So I emailed my Mother. Then the next day I heard there were a few after shocks but I didn't know anything about them. And my brother in Eads that is about 100 miles away felt it! He said it felt like someone was puching his chair and then he noticed the chandalier moving. He sounds like he was as smart as me! Guess that's what happens when you've never had one before.
I talked with my neighbor and she had talked to someone that lives by Trinidad, and they said it happens all the time! I did not know that. Learn something new everyday.hmmm...
I heard that they felt it as far away as Nebraska

June 2,2011

Had a little tiny visitor tonight! Wonder where his MOM was! I think he was wondering too! He looked like a little kitten so the dogs were kind of picking on him. After I told them no they left him alone. It was kind of weird that they minded!(No, I didn't try to pick him up!)

a little more of the little one!

and another of Colton with entertainment!

Something wrong with "Itty Bitty"

Every time I pointed the camera at that silly cat he started rolling around! I am sure there is something wrong with him!!!

He almost fell off once! LOL!

More of Hunter in May 2011

Too much energy in the a.m.


I have a feather...

And good balance!

A little more of May 2011

Flowers from Travis for Mothers' Day! I finally got one of them trained not to give me cut flowers! Yea! Don't give me flowers that are already dead...when I can kill them myself it is so much more satisfying! LOL!

Tidbits of May 2011

This blog is hard for me cos it seems the story is backwards. Oh well, Good Luck and figure it out? Read from the bottom up and it makes more sense.

It Happened to Aiden last year. When I turned the little bird he found loose...he was a little miffed when it flew away. He really wanted to keep it!I will post the photo if I ever find it!

The very next day Hunter came and got me cos he found a bird. It evidently flew into the tree(literally)and knocked itself silly. It couldn't fly and kind of had a far away look in its itty bitty eyes! So, we took a picture of course! After awhile he remembered who he was and flew away.

I do not have exact dates. Just that these photos were taken in May.Rachel was here and I saw a little bird pass the window and I said not here you don't! She looked at me kind of strange and I told her it was a barn swallow. The little birds that make their nests in the most annoying places. Like above your door.Anyway...a little while later I walked onto the porch and could hear little wings fluttering AND there was one of its little buddies got a little too curious and was in the window trying deparatly to fly away. Darn glass just was in the way...

Colton in Colorado

Kickin it in Colorado at Grandma and Grandpas' house.(Actually, this is Travis' backyard:)

Not by the hair of my chin-e-chin chin!

Poor baby. Probably scare her if she could see right now!

Introducing Lila Jade Carpenter 2 May 2011

Flat tire

I came down to Texas to help Rachel for a couple days. On the way down I had a flat tire. OUT in the middle of Egypt!!! Really just past Higbee. Where there is nothing! I had it off when a nice man stopped to help me. He even had a little pump ya plug into the lighter and aired up my flat spare! What a nice person! Thanks Jay! Saved a women in distress and was really nice about it! When I first had the flat I went up on the hill beside the car to try and get a signal on my cell phone. Ya know those things are really worthless when ya need it? But back to the hill...there was a snake skin where a snake had shed off. I thought to myself oh great! Probably a hillside full of snakes! But no. I was safe. And here is a thought for anyone who cares to read.... Who ever made those rinky dink jacks to lift a car to change a tire must've not been real serious. Seriously, I could think of a better place to keep that hunk of junk!(I am being nice)It is the most hardest, most difficult thing in the world to use! I think I will find a good place to throw it but, it won't have anything to do with my trunk! Seriously! Now I can go shopping! Not only do I need a real jack but I need a tire too!

Chickens?

I had 99 but down to 98:( I put the last 24 in a cage and they are so tiny they slipped thru the wire and now I'm down one! I brought them into the house. Have to grow them a little bigger before they are ready for the cage outside! I have 10 chicks that will lay chocolate colored eggs, 15 Wyandottes(which are blue in color) and25 red leghorns, that lay white eggs, and 25 buff orpingtons, which are a bigger chicken(light brown eggs) and they are good sitters. Then I will not need an incubator! And the last 23 are Americana and they are the Easter egg layers. They lay green or blue or pink eggs. I have 3 and get a dark green,a light green and a light blue egg. I have a few more chickens but they don't all lay. I am going to have to cull some. I will try to post a Blue Wyandotte. I'll see how well the computer obeys it's master! HA!



A picture of a blue Wyanotte I found online.

My eggs will be similar to this photo(also found online)

Rounding up the yearling!

Ride a mailbox. My favorite ride!

Get me up Grandma!

Bath time. Not afraid of water either.

Come on Grandma. I'll show you what's really fun.

Now that's a pony tail!

She didn't believe I had her til she bounced off my legs at the very end of the video!

Alice is my wild child! She is so funny. Not afraid of anything. There is a ledge in front of the windows in the front room. She brought her purple bean bag and put it in front of the windows...then crawled up on that ledge and then just took one giant step for mankind and would land in that beanbag! I got to watch her all afternoon for Vanentine"s Day. What a blast! After her bath we chased each other and read books and conked Grandma in the head with her head. 'bout took Grandma out and it didn't faze her at all! We also swang a little and rode the mailbox.

It was a good Valentine's Day.

Today is Family History Center Day. I work in it every Thursday. Love to do genealogy. It seems there is always something new to do or find. At least I am busy for those 4 hours I am there:)

Happy New Year!!
