Little Reagan's foot is so cute. You just want to kiss it. Look at her big toe! She is so pretty. Just sleeps right through all the choas and noise at her house. Natasha calls it a circus! Dakota never "lights" anywhere and Allyssa wants to play her cd player at the highest volume and the same cd over and over, (Taylor Swift). But is don't seem to bother little Reagan!
Had the scan to check my gall bladder today. It came back negative. So now I am being referred to a gastroenterologist on February 20. It's good that it is not my gall bladder but I am having pain and it is coming from something.....
Had lunch with Mom today and then we went to Atlanta Bread Company for a Kona Mocha Cafechillo. Mainly we just went to talk in a rather "quiet" surrounding. We sat by the fire place (gas logs) but is was really nice. No where to go, did not have to be in a hurry.
Nice.........
Finished a scrapbook page I had almost completed, but had to add a few little touches to make it complete in my mind. So now I need to start another one. Thinking about a page with a picture of Deborah and me when we were around 1 and 3 in that order.
Need to do a birth page on Reagan's birth too.....

You're only 7!!!!!!!!!


Saturday, while we (me, Allyssa, Mom, Deborah, Asheton and Zach) were at TJ Maxx browsing, (Asheton wanted to purchase Deborah a birthday present) Allyssa is looking at all things "girly" and had been walking around with all of us at one time or the other. At the time of this little tale, she had been "looking" with Mom. She came over to me, while I was looking at t-shirts and said "Nana, can you buy me this?" Of course, she is all the time wanting you to buy her things. She already had a little pink pocketbook with the word "princess" on it that had 3 little lip glosses hanging on a key chain from the strap. I was not really expecting what she was holding and as I looked down at her and at the same time saying something to the effect that she was not getting anything else when she holds up this "size A" (possibly) cup padded (I might add) multi-colored polka-dot BRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I held back my giggle because I did not want to appear uncaring(!) I said, "Allyssa, what are you going to do with that? You don't have anything to go in it and besides you are only 7 years old." She said, "But I want it Nana. Hailey Gilbert has 3 of them." By this time, I am trying to come up with something to say to make her understand that she did not need it. I told her that she needed to put it back and as she turned around to go I remembered I had my camera so I told her to wait a minute so I could take her picture. She turns around and this is the picture I got. Is she cute or what holding her little padded bra?!!!! She looked at me and said, "Nana, you better not scrapbook this"! Naturally, I told her I wouldn't! (with my fingers crossed!) I told her to take it to Deborah and ask her about it, (which really got me out of coming up with another reason why she did not need a PADDED BRA at 7). She is so funny, but so cute. Of course, she did wait 4 extra years before she brought up the idea of a bra which is much better that her mother.
I had gotten a bag of clothes from a friend of mine when Natasha was around 3 years old. Accidentally, the friend had a baby sister who had thrown in a spandex "training" bra. As I was going through the shirts, Natasha found the bra and put it on. She asked me if she could wear it and I told her no. A couple of days later, I got a call from her teacher at daycare (who was a friend of mine) and she asked me if I knew Natasha had wore a training bra to day care! Of course, I knew, DON'T ALL 3 YEAR OLD HAVE BOOBIES THAT NEED A TRAINING BRA!!!!!!! I told her no I did not know it, she must have put it on before she got dressed! I had forgotten about the conversation that we had had previously....I don't know what ever happen to that bra.
And to answer your question, yes I am going to scrapbook the padded bra incident, Allyssa. That's what I do best is find ways to embarass you when you get older!!!!!!! You will thank me later!!!!! Your welcome! I love that little girl!
I go in the morning for another test, some sort of scan, to look at my gall bladder more. I have to be there at 7:30 am, check in at 8:00 am. Bring something to read or look at the nurse says, because there is a lot of sitting. The test is at a minimum 1 hour and 45 minutes. Can I sleep I wanted to say! I think I should have been a cat! Would that not be the life, eat, poop and sleep all day long and then sleep all night, (if you are an indoor cat)! I would want to be an indoor cat. I would even endure the pain of being declawed to be able to stay in the house, look outside at the flying things that dip in the water right outside the window. What are those things, they just fly around and take baths!!!!! And if I was an indoor cat, I would not have to worry about getting run over in the street. There are so many mean people out that that just want to run over one of us just for laughs! Yes, I would be safe in the house. I would give up chasing those little fling things that dip in the water right outside my window!!!!! Just keep my litter box clean and fresh food and water please!

This weekend Allyssa went Friday and Saturday night with us. She went to church and lunch with us today and then we dropped her off by her house after lunch. We had a great time. Of course, I see more and more how INDEPENDENT she is becoming. Do I like that????? Well, really I do, but I like being able to make decisions for her too. She is a mess. Growing up too, too fast. Dakota is always wanting to know where she is when she is not at home with her. Reagan is 5 weeks old now and at this point don't care about anybody except who is going to feed her and change her!!! Yesterday was my little sister's birthday, how old are you again, Deb????? Linda Bunch asked me Friday night at the varity girl's basketball game who was the oldest between us! I told her you!!!!!! LOL!!!! And speaking of INDEPENDENT Asheton who is being attacked by the grinch will be 16 in February and of course, thinks she is 25. Boy, kids just don't know what they world is like when they are responsible for bills and working all the time......! I really need to start doing this blogging thing more often again. I am having another test Tuesday (had a ultrasound done last week) to further check my gall bladder. I am having alot of pain bt the ultrasound did not show any gall stones :-). But the pain is coming from somewhere, right????? Well,I am getting a little hungry. Let's go see what I can find in the kitchen! Later!

What a weekend!


This little beauty is what we waited all day this past Saturday for! Isn't she adorable?!!!! This is our newest granddaughter, Allyssa's and Dakota's sister, Reagan Phoenix. Born Saturday, December 29, 2007, at 8:36 pm. Weighing in at a big whopping 7 lbs. and 20 inches long. She is a beauty. Allyssa wants to hold her all the time and Dakota is not sure about her at all!
Christmas came and went in a big blur. Reagan was born and then there was New Year's Day. We ate lunch at Mom and Dad's house. Then we went to my brother, Wayne and his wife Tina's house. Played bowling on the Wii for a couple of hours and then came home. It is time to settle back into a routine. We had Allyssa's 7th birthday party tonight at Natasha and Randy's house. It is hard to believe that seven years ago she was born weighing in at 3 lbs. 7.5 oz. She was 2 months early, but she is a perfect little angel. 7 years old, man the time flies. Been wanting to scrapbook lately and just have not had the time. Trying my hand at artist trading cards now too. Pretty cool and fun to make and the best part is you can finish one in about 15 minutes, woo-hoo! Well, gotta get going. Work tomorrow and it is suppose to be a COLD 16 degrees in the morning. Brrrrrrrr
