my baby's babies!

my baby girl, Kori, had her second baby girl on Sunday April 22, 2012. Adrienne Lucille was born at 7:52 pm 7 lbs 8 oz 21 1/2 " long. her Oma and her daddy were blessed to wittness this fantastic event. on monday evening the big sister Carisma Jean met her baby sister for the very first time! only 16 months old, she was very good with the baby. All of Oma's girls are doing just fine! <3 love them <3

the new kitchen curtains

not very good shots of them, but at least i found them in the pic's! my camera date has been messed up for over a year now...he fixed it and now i can't find anything! lol
so the brown with the circles are the back door curtains, usually not closed, but you can! after hemming them by hand and ironing all the pkg folds out of them...i like them. then while watching !9 kids and counting....i see my curtains in Josh and Anna's house...they shop at walmart too! lol

long days leave me tired all over

just tired to the bone. deep down exhausted. i want to sleep...deep...and a little longer since it is my day off.
well see

more kitchen pics

i am really liking the pantry doors more now! the "honey butter" colored walls makes them stand out! as you see...i like old coffee pots and tea pots...these are from my grandmother and my mom (cords have long since been gone!) i enjoy seeing them every morning, they make me smile :)

kitchen before and after

white boring contractor grade paint...over 10 yrs old!

after using my two days off this week, and doing most of the up and down the ladder on my own...i am very proud to say it's done...maybe not perfect...but i don't claim to be perfect....just ME! lol a little rough around the edges and weird at times...but "Moi"

new walls....

brightening my blog...ready to brighten my kitchen walls also! love this background, very moi!
now if it were that fast painting the kitchen walls. my color is called Honey Butter, prettiest soft yellow i have ever seen!

just simply said

C,J,

how time flies so much faster as we age!

today is my baby girls, baby's birthday! Carisma turns one year old and is happy and healthy, and growing up so fast! she walks and waves and plays patty-cake very well. i love her personality, sometimes her mommy, when crying, and sometimes her daddy, with the grinding and attitude! lol i love Oma's girl, she gives me kisses! and nobody else wink-wink!
and thinking about the next little sweetheart to be born, due so quickly, and almost time to spell her name once and for all! lol j/k Adryann Lucille ( for now) Auntie is gonna call her "Al"

i love my family and my life <3

happy new year

2012 the new date to write! i wonder how many times i will do it wrong?!! Resolutions are good, they can be helpfull tools, i need to make a few and do my very best to keep them going till the end of the actual year! right?

ok this starts the birthday season around my family. mid january is mild, but the end of Jan into Febuary is crazyness. but untill the new babies arrival mid april, we hit a very slow spot!

granddaughter turns one year old this week! i am totally shocked, where does the time go? faster and faster it seems to slip away!

today is a PRESENT!
