Christmas Eve

Hello, Everyone out there, is everyone watching out for Santa Watch, to see if hes here in the States????? I bet all the little kids are going to have sleepless nite.
I remember when my kids your very little and we used to watch for Santa to see if he has arrived in Utah or Arizona and if he was close by, that means bed time. Time to put out the cookies and Milk for Santa Clause. Those are happy memories and more.
My kids always get up in the morning with all the excitement with all the glee of what Santa had left for them under the tree. Our tradition was to wake everybody up and make home make hot chocolate with Marshmellows and we open all the present. We than have more coco's and cookies and light breakfast to last us until Christmas dinner around 12:00 pm.
I guess, we all have our own tradition and I think that is all kool.
I got off work around 5 pm and decided to go out and by the last minute presents, but the place we wanted to go was close, so we ended up at Wal-greens. Man, it was sure busy and a bee. Target was the place we wanted to go. Oh, well.
I cannot wait to see my grand-kids in the morning when they come to my house for christmas unwrapping. Right now we are watching Christmas Movies.
I just wanted to Wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
well, I need to go and finish my wrapping.

My Present

Guess what I got for Christmas this year?????????????? Give up, Huh, HUH.
I got mp3 player and I'm having so much fun with it. In the beginning it was so hard to figure out how to download music, trying to record Freddy Fender music and other aritist, and playing with the radio. It could be lots of when we figure it out. I must have been such a good, good girl to get a mp3 player.
It will help me when I,m walking, and being on the bus. It won't make the trip such a long time. It will give something else to do beside reading. Don't get me wrong, I love to read and now I can listen to music while I do that.
FUN, FUN, FUN. I FELL LIKE A LITTLE KID RIGHT NOW. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utah
My son Paul and I made a road trip to Utah, Mexican Hat.
We left around 5:30 Wednesday morning and by 7:00 am we were in Flagstaff eating breakfast at Denny's. After that we headed our to Utah. We pass a few very small town or just the name of the town along the way. Just about around noon'ish or so we are now in Kayenta, AZ at this point we are still in AZ. Now, after pit stop and so we left again. This time, again heading to Utah. We stop at the visitor center and took pictures and bought stuff for families. Next, we went to Gouldings and camping area. The hospital that the kids were born is no longer there. It's made into something. I just took some pictures of it. We that took lots of picture of the Valley. We than headed out to Mexican Hat Utah, Of course, we have to pass the Monument Valley Pass at last on our journey to Mexican Hat. We finally arrived around 3:00pm or so. We just drove around to find if we can see anyone we know. At this time we didn't find anyone Yet, so we decided to eat lunch and start again. Everyone was at Kayent at the flea Market.
But, we didn't have too. Margaret find us, from there we went out to my mother place and my sister Mary's place. We visited with brother Leroy and his Daughter Victoria. Took Pictures.
We than arrived at my Sister's place, but no was home but( Boy) Onassic. We, just left a message that we are looking for his parents. Well, after that we called it a nite, well not just yet. we we went to Goulding to shop with Margaret first. Then to the Motel. What a Day we had. lol
Next, morning we got up at6:00 or 7:00 am. We went to Cafe to eat breakfast and lo and behold. My sister's showed up with there spouse, looking for us. It was a nice visit after all these years. Just took our time coming home. It was such a nice visit but sad to leave.
Thank you for all my reader who visit me on my blog. Thank you

Hello Everyone,
It sure has been quite a few months or so for me to update my blog. Like I said before, I have such a hard time logging on. So this weekend my daughter and grand kids came over to spend some quality time with me. Janalea, that is my daughter, she said that she will fix it up for once and not play around with it anymore. That way I won't have a hard time log-in. LOL HUH
I put some picture that was taken during out State Fair trip with the 2 oldest girls. and some I think was taken at Octoberfest.
Glad to see, that I have been have quite a bit of visitor. Please feel free to comment on my blog.
My grand kids sure have grown up just before my eyes. They are grown up pretty girls.
Guess, I need to learn how to make or work on a scrape book huh. Sorry, I won't know where to began that project. Just a thought.
Being getting order from my oldest grand daughter that she want to be bumble bee for Halloween next October. I got some good idea how to make one. If anyone know of a pattern or how to make one please let me know.
Thanks for all my reader that visit me.

First time Isabella got to feed the bird on here own. She was so proud of herself. What a day for her.

update

hello everyone. It has been a busy the last 2 month. Some happy moment and some sad moments.
All in all we all have gone on with out lives to the best of our ability.
Being of this month was Octoberfest which we take all 4 kids to it. They have lots of fun just mingling with everyone at the Octoberfest. I hope they all had fun.
The follow weekend was spent at the Arizona State Fair. It is getting very expensive but fun. We usually take only the 2 oldest girls. I belive that they had a blast like we did. I just love to see there face when they are on the rides. I belive as the years goes by and they will lose interest in going to the Fair with us. So I need to catch every moment with them.
I love all my Grandkids with all my heart. Sometimes when I don't see them I feel so lonely and sad that I just want to Cry.
Well. this year I'm not making halloween outfits for my little one. Yes, Yes, My daughter and I went out and bought the costume this year. They are going to be all deck out for the night. Hope they recieve lots of good candies.
Well. I need to go and get ready for another day

Vacation

Well, this week is my vacation and I'm home sewing and cleaning. Getting thing done that I have put off for so long. Went into Phoenix to get new social security card my other card was stolen with all my other wallet. It happen on the bus on my way home almost a year ago.
Thurday's We went to get my glasses. Oh, Yes, we babysat Elijah and Isabella when Janalea took Nathianl to his School field trip.
We also got our haircut, went out to eat, and then went to wal-mart shopping for Halloween costume. I was fun shopping for all that. Hope they will be scary looking this year.
Baby Elijah sure has grown, so chubby and smiling the whole time he was here. Got to love them all. He just looked at me, I think he's trying to figure who I'm. We took some picture of the kids but need to get it on the dis so I can get new picture on my blog. Be patients everyone for that.
We had the best deal at the grocery store at Fry's. They had backpacks for $1.50 each so we bought 4 extra one, just incase someone needs one. lol huh
If I had a car I would visit my grandkids on the weekend with no problem. I would be able to pick them up and take them home. I depend on the valley transit right now.
It has been fun this week just being home and caughting up on things. But sure miss work. Special when my alarm goes off at 4 am.
I thank god everyday for all my wonderful blessing that her has given me. He is close to my heart and I pray to him every moring when I'm walking to the bus stop or just walking.
Thankfully for all my grandkids too. Love them all.

update

will, I very hard for me to get into my blogspot. I'm thinking about just giving it up.
I don't know how many times I had to put my new password in and I try my old one
and it does not work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong all together.
Well, my daughter and her family are moving again to a different area. They have livied all over
Mesa Area but not in Phoenix yet. They livied in Payson, AZ too. The girls were little when they moved to Payson and now they are just about to be teenager.
We are always moving when my kids were little and I was hoping that my kids would plant there foot somewhere and not move all the time. It was hard on my the kids and I'm sure its hard on her kids. Always the new family on the block,
The=kids are probably feeling the same way, she felt when we were on the move all the time.
Just want to wish her and kids the best in everything they do in their lives.
I was kinda hurt when she told me that she wants to sell all the crystal dishes and china dishes at her yard sale, just because she does not want them and not using it. I just felt like she is trying to get rid off all the thing that I have given her and some from her dad. I felt like she is getting rid of me in her own ways. SLOWLY, SLOWLY. Maybe she does not want me in her life anymore.
I guess only time will tell.
Well, Wednesday is my weigh in day. I think I did okay.
later

Sunday

Sunday
It has been a fun week for me.
Just wanted to update mu blog and to let all the reader know that I'm still doing the ATKINS.
You would not belive that I have lost 7lbs last week and total of 25 1/2 pounds that I lost since
I've been on this ATKINS diet. My closet are getting baggy, place that I though I would not
lose. I say Yes, Yes, every time a pounds fall of me. I have been on this for a month now. I
guess I will keep going until I reach my goal. I went to Hi-Health about some vitamin and the Customer Service lady told me since I'm doing the Atkins I need some sort to multivitamin. So I bought Ultimate-plus the essential whole foods multivitamin, and Potassium caps for dietary supplement.
Well, I have problem with my password every week, My daughter told me that I should write
it down so I won't keep forgetting. She stated that it must be old age.
My daughter is working at Wal-mart and I'm not sure what her husband does, all I know is
that he'd some kind of a computer Dr.
Kids are back in school, so I don't see them very much as I would like to. They see the other
grand-parent more than me. Before, I know it Elijah will be entering school. I don't think he
know who I'm, like Nathaniel use to be. Afraid of me. I don't think I look that scary.
Well, all the holidays are around the corner and I need to make a list of thing that everyone
want this year for OLD, OLD, SANTA GRANDMA.
Thats all for now
