Nine Days and Great grandbabies

                                                                                                 

And

On the Ninth Day of Christmas I show you nine of the 70 blocks for my quilt.  I have them all done and will start putting them together later this week. 

I had a picture here of Jaxson but it disappeared.  I will have to put it here tomorrow.  He is darling and soooooooooo tiny.  We had his sisters all afternoon.  It was a good day.

Nothing much else today.  Snow off and on all day.  As the song says "its beginning to look a lot like Christmas".

Blessings 

8th Day

Eight pairs of shes for the eighth day of Christmas.  You might recognize that I like pink? LOL

I am just a little late for yesterday was the eighth.  But its still early and had a good excuse.  For one thing we had our Back Country Horsemen Christmas party in Couer D'Alene and while we were there, we got a call that Tabby and Robby had  Jaxson Lee, 5 pounds 15 oz and l8" long.  We will see him today.  That is 8 great grandchildren. 

I will be back later

Blessings

Two pictures that would not load yesterday.

These are my two sweet great granddaughters.  Kiki is the top picture. Piper in the lower picture.  Their mama was who the shower was for and they will have a baby brother before evening.  She is in the hospital. 

Blessing especially to Tabby and to Robby today.  I will be back later with my project. 



Ponies

 Seven stuffed ponies sitting in row on my bed.  I have so many of them and have decided to start giving them away .  My collections got out of hand a little bit.

Tazzy in the Christmas tree.  Not much more than lights on the tree because I knew she would do this.  It was teetering all over the place this evening.  I probably should spank her out of the tree but we have such fun laughing at her.

Earlier this evening I went to a baby shower for Tabby.  Our grandson Robby's fiance.  They have two little girls - Kiyanna who is better known as Kiki who 3.  And Piper who is two.  Kiki loves me and loves to sit on my lap and sing me songs she makes up as she goes.  Piper is not too contented to sit on any one's lap.  I am going to get them after church for the day Sunday.  Tabby is expecting a little boy any day, or hour it seems.  He will be Jaxson.  I love our little great grandchildren that love to sit and be snuggled. 

I had Justin today and he was so happy.  He is smiling and talking to us more and more.  I had to leave before Cameron got here to pick him up and Bob watched him which was shocking but he just sat and talked with him and bounced him in his bouncer chair.  Justin is growing so fast. 

We woke up to snow on the ground but it warmed up and then it was just rain rain and wind today.  Its get cold though so I imagine snow is not so far off.

Blessings

Santa

On the 6th day of Christmas I have 6 of my Santa collection.  I have about 50 I think.  I add one every year.  None are expensive but fun to look at.

I don't know why this picture would not load with Justin's picture.  It took me a while a loss of a lot of patience getting Santa pictures on. 

Bob helped Katie and Cam get a floor in their dog kennel today so Callie can't dig out.  We hope anyway.  We did find one of the hens we thought she killed but didn't.  She is minus some feathers and was roughed up but alive.  Lane calls her the Road Runner chicken.  We had two small hens and Callie ate the other one.  She did get our pretty rooster yesterday and 2 others.  I feel bad for Katie, she loves her dog but it can't happen again.

Bob is getting happier and happier with Sage.  He says she goes in and out  like the lady that she is.  I must get out and spend time with her.  He gets so mad at Ditto.  She is old (almost 32) and is queen of the pasture.  She would tell you that if she could talk.  She comes in how she wants to and into whatever stall she wants because she gets extra grain that way.  He threatened her with a pitchfork tonight and she just rolled her eyes at him and strolled down the alley way into her stall.  She really does know where she belongs. 

Last night I finished reading a cute book.  The Christmas Pearl. By Dorothea Benton Frank.  Its an easy read about the family of a 93 year old lady in the south who is telling the story.  Also there is a collection of southern holiday recipes.  Its a book I will keep and maybe read again.  Not all believable but fun.  Its an older book but I have not seen it before.  Love the author and have read other things but this was especially nice.

Blessings,

Then Came Santa

Hasn't he grown.  Seven weeks yesterday.  He loves his bouncy.

Now back to try to get my Christmas picture to load.

Five little....................

On the 5th. day of Christmas

I give to you 5 little toes. 

He didn't want to hold his foot still.  I still could not get his whole foot in the picture but I guarantee he has five little toes.

I put the horses out this morning and Sage was so glad to see me.  It made me feel bad because I have not been spending much time with her.  She was so good. 

Another dead chicken and Katie and Cam have got to do something with her.  Not only does she like chickens, she likes to dig too.

I am getting things wrapped and wish I had a couple of boxes.  One to mail and one to just put stuff in to take to Marysville/Everett with us.   I got the mess off our bed so I can crawl in in a while and watch the Gonzaga/WSU basketball game.  I don't know who to root for. 

Snow is predicted for this weekend.  We will see.  I really don't mind it too much.  We had a beautiful sunset this evening and usually that means a good day tomorrow.  I hope the old wives tale holds true.

Blessings to you all.
