Mason and Mousse

As you can see, Mason found the bowl of mousse I dished out for him. He found it before we were ready for dinner. We were all in the living room when we heard him say loudly "MMMMMM!" We all busted out laughing when we saw what he was doing. He made a thorough mess of himself. I will have to remember that he likes my mousse (made from cottage cheese!).

Rain is coming down in buckets right now. Lots of storms moving though and dumping lots of water! Randy is up in Michigan at the NASCAR races. I am sure it was very hot and muggy up there...it sure was here. Thunder is booming pretty loud now and I should probably get off the internet....

Blessings...

Josh and Josiah

On the last visit Josh made to the house, last weekend, he took Josiah out to show him all the flowers. Josh is Sarah's hubby-to-be. He will be leaving for basic on Monday. Sarah will be missing him greatly! He is so good with kids. We will be planning for a September wedding, September 4th. We will be gaining another son!

Grandparents Again!!!

Josiah Randall Potter (above) was born via c-section January 21 at 3:07am at St. Ann's Hospital in Westerville, OH. He weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. Missy had a really hard time with the labor and delivery. They are home now and doing well. He has tons of black hair and is dark skinned like Joe. I think Missy was thankful he wasn't fair like her. We both tend to burn a bit too easily...unfortunately. Sorry Sis! Isn't he a doll?

Mason...

While Sarah was home over Thanksgiving, she took this picture of Mason (at the top). Isn't he just angelic? I could just eat him up, he is just so darn cute!! I am not a bit biased either!!!

Sarah is doing better and getting well. She texted me this morning and said she was going to the gym to run, so she must be feeling much, much better! It is amazing how much your body can heal in such a short time.

Crops are slowly coming off...another 50+ acres of corn and we will be DONE!!! Thank God! This has been the longest harvest season I think we have ever had. Between Ran being off sick with kidneystones and Sarah in the hospital with infection.... The field he is in now is doing exceptionally well. He is getting 230+ bushels to the acre! He can only go half way around the field and has to dump the corn into the cart! Too cool!!

Well, lunch is over so I gotta run.

Blessings...

Trick or Treat!

What a cutie pie! Mason was going Trick-or-Treat tonight in Fredericktown. He even has a happy feet dance! I could have just eaten him up! Sent him off with a baggie of suckers, his favorite. He then got a hold of Papaw's cell phone...he loves cell phones!

Blessings....

Sr Pictures...

Well a couple of weeks ago I had my first opportunity to take one of Sarah's friend's Sr. pictures. They turned out really good. Check out this one! Her mom said she might have someone else that may be interested in having me take their picture!! This is so cool! I love doing this kind of thing. I just have to figure out how much to charge....

We have been fighting off some kind of nasty bug here at work. There have been two girls that have been off sick over the past two weeks. It is like this people....STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK!!!! It is a pet peeve of mine that when someone is running a fever or coughing up a lung or blowing Niagra out of their nose and they still feel the need to come into work! We have been Cloroxing and Lysolling (is that a word?) everything!! Everywhere you turn people are coughing or sneezing and not covering their mouths. Or they blow their noses, handle their tissue and then open doors, use your pen, touch counters, etc.!!! Ugh!!! Ok, I feel better now that I have vented...

Sarah just stopped in tonight. Sarah, Caitlin and their friend Josh came up to see Katie's volleyball game and since they were close to home they came on up. She came over and introduced us to Josh and picked up a few things she forgot on Sunday when she left to go back to Wright State. I snuck in a box of snacks that she wasn't expecting. :-) That is what Mom's do! She probably won't get to come back home until Thanksgiving. She did her PFATs this week for ROTC and maxed out on everything except her weight. She was 3 pounds shy of the minimum of 125 pounds. She said they will retest in six months.

Well, dragging my behind...fighting this crud too...Blessings to all....

Mason at Farm Science Review

Mason had a blast at the Farm Science Review on Wednesday, September 23, 2009. He is sitting in a combine in the picture, just pushing buttons and using the steering wheel! He went all day and was one tired little puppy at the end of the day. He went with his dad, grandpa and great-grandpa. Unfortunately, Grammy didn't get to go! I had been sick all the previous weekend through Tuesday so I had to go to work....:-( But...that was a LOT of walking so maybe it was a good thing I didn't go! LOLOLO

Missy is doing well with her pregnancy and Sarah is getting her thing going at college. So I guess...life ain't so bad right now.

I am still canning and freezing. I canned two quarts of pears a couple of days ago and still have about five cabbages to do as well as a bunch of peppers.

Till later....blessings....
