summer days!

Day off!

I love my summer hours..  I take a day or two off every week all summer long.. (Ive probably mentioned that about a dozen times before.. sorry!)  so with this whole day before me, what shall I do?  yesterday I packed away all my 4th of july stuff and got out all my summer beachy things!  I have the urge to go do a little shopping, though I need nothing.   I have bear orders I should work on, I want to make some burlap pillows,  the lake is calling me again... was just there on saturday.. one can never have too much time at the beach though..

but supposed to rain later.  wouldnt mind making some cookies.. but that is definitely not a good idea for me! lol!

oh well, who knows what I will do.. .just glad I dont have to be at work!

Have a  great week my friends!

do you like summer pies?

 lookie at my new princess!  sweet lillianna!  I stole these two pics from tiffanys facebook.  Isnt she just stinking too precious!?

 She is so sweet and Tiffany reports that she is a really good baby. And Marla pie loves her little sister!

 we went over wednesday night to see the baby and to take dinner over.  Marla wanted me to bring her a present.. though I think her father put her up to that.   He told her to ask grammie for mega blocks.. but I know that she already has three giant sets of them... (her daddy's the one who wants more!  lol!)

 Anyways, I ran in biglots to find something for her and there was this princess dress.  the only one..  and so obviously meant for Miss Marla Princess Pie!  and they had crowns too!

 She loved it and wanted it on right away.  (Hey.. see the doll she drew on?  she calls it her monster baby! LOL!!!)  a girl after my own halloween heart!  LOL!

 She put the dress and crown on and I said, "spin princess spin!"  thats what she said to me when she spent the night last weekend, when I came out of my room in a ratty nightgown!  "oh grammie, youre a beautiful princess!  spin grammie, spin."

so spin and spin she did!  

Can I just tell you how much I love that girl?

omg.. I love that girl!

and this girl too!

and of course I love all the rest of my Pies too..

my sweet torry pie!  who I think I need to spend some time with today or tomorrow.

and little miss violet!  And guess what??  Violet wants to tell you something!

shes going to be a big sister!  woohoo!!

I am so blessed!

and just one more thing.. 

one more picture..

one more grand thing...

TA DAH!

I have a  grand puppy !  lol!  Daughter Jen and her hubby got this little puppers this week..

lol.. you should see all the toys and the OUTFITS that she bought her last night!  Her name is penelope.

Im calling her penny lane for some reason.  I keep telling my husband that she is his grandpuppy.. but he says Im crazier then he thought and he's not calling her a grand puppy.  Lol!

sunshiny day!

 Good Morning Sunshines!  (my dad used to say that, or good morning Glory!)    Figgy and Frannie are enjoying the sunshine out on the porch this morning...

 I was trying to get a selfie with figgy.. Hes sitting on the awning to the swing.  but he didnt want to look at the camera.  At one point he was batting at my hair.. but I missed that shot.  lol!  

 And, Frannie, well, shes just beautiful.. isnt she?  she thinks so too.  lol!

 So speaking of sunshine... Im off to the beach today with a good friend.  lots of healthy food cut up and packed to go.  looking forward to just relaxing and enjoying the day.  

Hope you all have a lovely day too!

welcome to the world Lillianna Grace!

wow!  I am pooped out!  running like a maniac here.. Marlas been with me since tuesday night and Im loving having her.. and I have to admit I am tired!  I totally get why God gives us our babies when we are YOUNG!  cause its hard to keep up with them when we are 53!  lol!  but Im having a great time with her here.  In fact.. Ive been told that Im a beautiful princess while in my nightie.. and "spin grammie spin!"  although, she told her grandfather that too.. so I'm not sure it was totally a compliment! LOL!

So, of course, we have a new baby in our family!  Lillianna Grace came into the world by C section at 10:15 (or so) on wednesday morning.  Weighing in at 7'14 and 20 inches long.   she is perfectly wonderful!

Marla and I were able to watch them cleaning her up and measuring her and all that good stuff just seconds after she was born.  

I love these pics of Marla checking out her new sister.  And Robert did well..  no one had to pick him up off the floor this time! LOL!

Look!  precious lilli pie!

I'm getting quite the collection of baby pies!  

Today we'll be heading out to the parade and craft show, picnicing with friends and then to the fireworks tonight!  Tomorrow, I'll be exhausted!  (lol.. grandpa boo boo is dressing Marlas barbie right now! )  

I'm running back to the kitchen ,  salads to finish making and lots of stuff to pack up for the day.

Im looking forward to playing with Marla, Torry and violet all day!

next year, lilli will enjoy the 4th with us too!  She will be leaving the hospital today and Marla will join her there tomorrow... then Grammie will probably collapse! lol!

Have a wonderful Independence day!!
