I AM HAPPY FOR:

I am happy for 4 hour breathers from home that included going and holding a sweet little spirit straight from heaven and just holding, and holding, and holding him, until I had to turn him over to mommy to feed--that's how being a grandmother should be. Have I ever mentioned that I just love to hold little babies?

I AM HAPPY FOR:


New born babies, especially when they are related. We have a new member of our crazy mixed-up family. Brighton Anderson was born this morning at 4:44 a.m. by C-Section. He was 6 lbs. 3 oz. and 19 inches long and is very blonde.

I AM HAPPY FOR:

Nights out with Ashlynne all by ourselves--just us two girls, a movie and some popcorn! Oh, and we ran into one of our neighbors.
When she is without Austin trying to impress him and without Andrew, trying to be his mom, she is a very calm child, but around those two, she can't decide who she wants to be (it must be tough being that middle child).
We went and saw the Princess and the Frog and she was a little frightened by some of the stuff in it and wanted to go home halfway through. I convinced her to stay then she fell asleep right after that, but woke up at the happy ending and then clapped.

I AM HAPPY FOR:

My cute niece, KoriAnn: who started out in this life as a 2 lb. 9 oz. preemie 24 1/2 years ago will become a cute little mommy to baby Brighton sometime in the next 3 weeks. It was her baby shower last night and she was overwhelmed with gifts and quite frankly she was exhausted when it was all over!

Quite Time: When 5 children under the age of 5 are being so noisy,screaming and zooming around the house like cars out of control it is time to have a bit of peace and quiet!

I AM HAPPY FOR:

Nap time.
When Austin and Ashlynne were smaller, we would take a nap every day. Now that they are older they don't want to, but Andrew NEEDS to. RJ was home today, so Andrew and I took a nice nap and RJ took care of the two big kids!

About Me

My photo
Keith and I were married on October 12,1996 in the Manti, Utah LDS Temple. We have no children but raised one child, Kassie, who is actually my niece. We have 3 adorable grandchildren, Austin 5, Ashlynne 4, and Andrew 1. It has become apparent that our home has an OPEN-DOOR policy, since a lot of people have come and gone through our doors. I retired from the medical profession in Aug of 2007 after nearly 30 years and spend my time taking care of these three very lively, often funny,and very active children. My mother lives with us, however she is serving in the Illinois Peoria Mission and will return in July of 2011. Keith is an R.N. and works at a local rehab center in the Mental Health department. One day we hope to finish our home and travel more;
