Ok, please understand that this is my first biological grandchild and I am way passed excited.  After the shower, DeEdra took us to some cool spots and Ashleigh was a real trooper to withstand the heat.  Erika her friend from her work was in charge of the mace (that is a true story).  Here are a few (few = a lot) that I took while following around DeEdra and are some of my favs.  I can’t wait to see all of DeEdra’s, I know that hers will be amazing.

 First let me say what a good friend DeEdra is.  She is one of the busiest people I know. Between trying to be there for her young family, she is very busy with her booming business.  Somehow she found time to throw my daughter a baby shower. She is an amazing and generous friend, and I love her bunches…. 

Can this be any cuter?

The “Two Clever Chicks” are the best, thank you so much for the beautiful flowers.  You must check them out at www.xanga.com/twocleverchicks they totally rock!!

Erika with her Cannon!!  She fit right in, and stayed up real late playing Pictionary, she is a good sport.

DeEdra had a couple of fun games, this was the “Guess the celebrity’s baby names”

Let the guessing begin

and it goes on….

They also got to take a good wiff into some dirty diapers.  Don’t worry, it was just stuff from the refrigerator, but I think some pretty cute pictures.

The coolest magnet’s.  These were from G.G., (the grandmother to my grandson) also known at Keith’s Mom, LeAnn.

DeEdra, thanks again….  You are the best!!

I love having a day off with my sweety and my son.  We did a little yard work today and My sweety made me something that I have been wanting for a while.  First things first.

Sean had an Ag project in school to make a stepping stone.  He chose the German flag, which represents my Mom’s heritage.  I think it looks pretty darn good.  Now we want to make all the stones in the yard a flag to represent each of us. 

I have been wanting a bottle tree for quite some time.  Slaves from the Congo in Africa brought the idea of the traditional bottle trees — live trees with colored bottles on the ends of branches — into this country. Bottle trees protected the homes from evil spirits by trapping spirits inside the bottles, where they could do no harm.  The bottle trees disappeared as bulldozers razed emptied tenant houses as farming mechanized and became less dependent on a human work force. Today, the bottle trees sprout from steady metal bases and branches that end in colored bottles. My sweety made mine today….

We are going to make a different one out of copper for the backyard…..   I love it!!!  Happy Sunday!

We had a great weekend at our parents house.  John, A.J. and Sean put in their flag pole and when we drove off today the flag was flying.  I love visiting home and I love my Mom.  Happy Mothers Day!

Ok, On the way to my parents I saw this fence, so on the way home my sweety was nice enough to pull over and let me take pictures of it….  I think it is too cool and I also had a guest stop to see what I was doing.

Last, I got Ashleigh’s baby shower invitation in the mail yesterday, can they be any cuter??    Can’t wait!!
