MY Baby- Picture Tag

Well, interesting this is one of my FAVORITE pictures. It is of MY BABY Carla at 3 years old standing in her night gown with her pink curlers that she insisted on having in her hair. She actually slept with them in her hair ALL NIGHT!! That's pretty good for a 3 year old. She is in the corner because she was in trouble. She had been crying. At that point in time there were NO blogs. And computers were NOT common in the home - but it was so cute and funny that I grabed my camera for her to see when she got older, and I just wanted to capture the moment for me so that I wouldn't forget what it was like having young children in the house. Although, its got extremely LOUD at times - I view those times as the best time of my life - even in spite of all Bill's traveling. Fond Memories for me. I love you Carla, and all of my children!

The Queen still Reigns

Oh yes I am still the Queen of Canasta!! I went to Dana's house and had a lot of fun. I played "Clue" with the kids. They are pretty good at figuring out the clues and discovering who did it with what and where. However I still reign supreme in the Canasta arena. I smeared Dana! Poor thing she wanted to play again so that she could redeem herself but, yet again victory was elusive for her as the Queen still has not lost her touch. Maybe next time Dana. While the kids were at school we took a shopping trip. We went to the Edgewater Mall. Very pretty nice mall across the street from the ocean in Bolixi MS. We then had lunch at a cute Italian restaurant. We had fun. I was very pleased to see Eliza is a rolly-polly. She is fat all over. Such a wonderful change since she was born and so skinny and unhappy. She will even fold her arms at family prayer. She did this just by example of the other children. No one prompted her she just did it. The first time it was for the entire prayer! I was amazed. So... we tried to capture it on camera and of course then she would not perform. But anyway it was so cute. We also went to see Emma in her kindergarten play for President's Day. It was very enjoyable. They sang Patriotic songs. It was so enjoyable. Hat off to the Music teacher and Kindergarten teachers who put that together. The children will remember those Patriotic songs the rest of their lives. And they will need them because the America as we know it will probably not exists when they are adults. Anyway love to all - I had a blast and wish it could have been longer. The Queen must rest now.

Diagram of the Pacemaker

This is the diagram on how it works

My Heart

Well went to the doctor Monday- Heart Rate was at 37 which is low. He ran another EKG - My heart is just wild - irregular heart beats and very slow. He said that it will only get worse. March 17th I go in for Stress tests and a Echogram. That will take about 4 hours. Then on April 20 I will have a heart monitor for 24 hours - I think he is just making sure there is no heart diease which we did all this 4 years ago. He says that I need a pacemaker.

My Sweetheart

We went to the Jonesboro Stake Valentine's Day Dance - It was so... much FUN. Scott Felstead was DJing and he announced to the kids at the dance that he would be playing music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. That this is the only dance in which the older generation gets to go to and that they would have to deal with it. We applauded! Because he played dance music instead of head banging music EVERYONE danced. It helps GREATLY when the DJ dances and KNOWS what is good dance music. We danced about every dance. It was great fun. Here is our annual Valentine Day picture - I told Dad that we were NOT centered but he doesn't care. Mike Day took the picture and his camera has the wrong date. Men! Allison I wish you were there to take really good shots. Oh yeah and I wore my RED SHOES - and I had on my diamond earings - it is so much fun to dress up.
