Been missing in action for a while

I haven't been doing much blogging for awhile, I was in the hospital for 3 days, they had to check out my heart,( It is in good shape) I woke up with an unbelievable pain in my chest thought I was having a heart attack,Went to Dr and had a irregular EKG. Still don't know why the irregular heart beat. I have to go see the Dr again on Wednesday, I think it might be my Gall bladder acting up, there are certain foods and drink that really bother me.After I got home from hospital my sister in-law Kelly and her son Aaron (16) and her daughter Becky(12) came from Missouri and stayed from Monday to Friday eve.Saturday Alanna and I went to the beach for a few hours, she loved it, very daring with the water though.Today Sunday I went to my sisters church because my nieces best Friend Brenda got baptized. After that my niece's Megan and Lori and my nephew Wesley wanted to come home with me. Katie ,Monroe and my dad came over too after a while. Wesley made apple crisp and Megan made pizza for dinner and both of them where very Delicious!!!!

Eva feeding Ringo


Eva and I had fed Ringo earlier, Mike and
were having a conversation in the living room and Eva
dissappeared and when I found her she had made a huge mess!
And it wasn't just in the garage all over the kitchen floor too!

Alanna loves the sand box


Strawberries


Today we cleaned 7 1/2 flats of strawberries and made tons of freezer jam.
It is really good stuff, but loaded with sugar!

Give the Child some water

On Sunday when I was at Katie's, my nephew Wesley(who loves flowers)brought his mom, our mom and Me some flowers, On Monday Katie was baby sitting Alanna. Katie was busy talking on the phone looked up and Alanna had taken the flowers out of the glass and drank all the water before Katie realized what she had done.

Messy eater!

I have no idea why or how Alanna can get this much food on herself when she eats, I bought her these new shoes today,I don't like this kind of shoes but she loves them, she wouldn't take them off when she took her nap.

Jungle Gardens



Today we went to Jungle Gardens Alanna was so excited she was very good.She was amazed at the bird show. She plays with a scooter at Katie's house and one of the birds rode a scooter.

It's a frog!!!!!!!!!!!

My niece's husband went to use the bathroom and came out with a really funny look on his face, he said Wanda are you keeping a frog in the toilet? Like Duh!! Can you believe a frog in the potty needless to say there was a lot of screaming going on by the time we caught that little sucker. Monroe my brother in-law caught him. And no we don't live in the Jungle.

Just to cute






Julie and the children came over to visit on Thursday, Alanna and Mikayla are good friends. They are helping me cook dinner.
