A new baby in the family

Stephen Todd Ursrey was born on May 5th around 6:15 pm. He came into the world weighing 8 lbs. even and was 20 1/2 inches long. He looks just like his siblings and is a wonderful addition to our family. Veronica and Bryan thank you both for a beautiful grandson and thank you for Haley, Noah and Bethany also. They are all wonderful grandchildren and I can not imagine our life without them. They are all blessings from the good Lord above. We love you all ..Momma and Daddy aka Nan and Papa.

A quick update

I know that it has been a few weeks since I have been on and posted. The last 2 weeks have been so busy for me, at work and at home. We heard from all the grandbabies at Easter. Haley, Noah and Bethany are doing really well. Haley is enjoying school. Noah is Noah, talking up a storm and missing his Papa. When I was talking with him that is who he wanted. Imagine that? And his Papa is missing them all. Bethany is becoming mobile and is trying to walk. It is so hard to believe that she is going to be 1 year old in few weeks. Veronica (Bryan's wife) is ready to have Stephen any day now. So, we are really looking forward to our new grandson.
Skylar and Dalton are both doing well. That is my oldest son's children. Skylar will talk for just a few minutes at the time and then she is done with the phone. Dalton is sitting up and trying to crawl. Hard to believe that these babies are growing up so fast, but they are.
Work is work. I stay busy, busy, busy.
Momma is have a few good days here and there but overall she is doing okay. Daddy is not doing well at all but that is to be expected with COPD. I have been up there 4 days this week and when he breaths, I can hear him weezing.
Oh, there is going to be a documentary on HBO 2 beinging May 2, 2009 dealing with A.D. The ad was saying that "this is a battle that will be won, and that there are many new advances with this disease." I hope and pray that the doctors' are right. This is an awful disease that many. many people are living with. This is going to be a 4 part series. Maria Shriver will be on the first segment, then there is going to be a part dealing with caregivers and the other parts will be with doctors. I hope that everyone will be the chance to see this.
I hope that every is doing well. We finally got around to planting the garden this weekend. The rain has let up for now. We have gotten over 10 inches of rain in the last 2 weeks so needless to say, it is wet here. I could not believe how much seed has gone up especially corn. 9.00 dollars a pound.
Take care and have a great week...Peace, love and happiness

Taking a day off!!!

Yea, I needed a day off. I have not taken a day off of work since Dec. 8th except for the weekends and I stay so busy on the weekends until it seems like I work so I took the day off. And I doing anything productive? NO. I did feed the dogs this morning. David is out of town and left at 5 am and the dogs went back to sleep. Yea, they were inside last night due to the thunder storms and we were under a tornado watch. It was thundering, lightening and hailing in your neck of the woods. And I didn't have the heart to leave them in the yard with this weather. These dogs are like my kids so ....This happened Saturday and then again last night. Ella is just terrified of bad weather and was in my lap all night until I went to bed with a splitting headache.
Momma is having a few good days. I went by and seen them last night for a few hours and it was question after question. But that is the way that it is with Momma. Same questions in a row. All you can do is answer her. My sister called me last (Burkett's wife) and we had a wonderful, open and honest conversation about what is going on it her life. She is sad and lonely. I hope that one day she will find someone to love her. She is a wonderful person and has a heart of gold and she does not need to be alone. She is young. She has a lot to offer someone. I hope that she finds someone if nothing else to be a friend, someone to go to the movies with, have dinner with. No one deserves to be alone. She did tell me that she has spoken with my son (Noah's father) and that everything is well with the kids. I don't know that there is an emotion that I feel as of this moment but saddness, broken-hearted, missing them. My "two buddy" .....
Have a great week...peace, love and happiness.....

Saturday road trip

I went to Savannah with 2 of my closest friends and the rain did not dampen our trip. We refused to let that happen. We went shopping and had a wonderful dinner in which we sit in Applebee's and laughed, laughed and laughed some more. As we sit in the resturant the rain fell and we waited for the rain to let up so that we could make a mad dash to Yukon. As we were leaving, the hot sign was on at Krispy Kreme and we went in and got donuts while they were hot. We didn't eat a donut until we were nearly home but they were still good.
It was good to get out of town for a few hours and just let everything go. I left my phone in my truck, no calls while I was shopping. And it felt really good. Thanks Pam-a-la and Tiff for the fun day away and the laughs...YEA we laughed and then laughed some more. We will be laughing for some time about this road trip.
The rain was really bad here last night and there were times that we drove only 30 to 40 mph but we were in no hurry to get home. When I got home, we had already had over 4 inches of rain. Keep in mind, I left my house around 1 pm and it is a 2 hour drive to Savannah. I got home at 9 pm and the puppies were running around barking and whinning. My Daddy told me this morning that that weather was awful here yesterday. Thunder, lightening, hail...and then just a down pour of rain. But everyone is okay and the puppies have slept all day and will not get too far from me. Imagine that? I hope that the rain dries up soon. My back yard looks like a pond, but we needed the rain like so many others. Hopefully you all will get some rain soon.
Momma is doing okay...confused alot but okay. Daddy seems to be feeling better this weekend and I have been trying to keep him off of the lawn mower, but he loves to keep his lawn mowed and the yards looking nice.
Take care and hope that everyone has a great week. Peace, love and happiness!!!!!!!!

Daily Grind

Okay, let me apologize for taking so long to post. This has been a month that has been unreal.

Momma seems to be worse by the day. She calls my cellphone and will leave so many mesages while I'm at work. She has my work number but will call me at work. I guess that when she worked that it was a "no-no" to call someone on the job unless it was an emergency. She tells me that she does not want to bother me at work. And I reassure her that she can call me. Daddy is not doing great with his COPD. But he has a sharp mind and that is a blessing.

Work is work. It has it changelles but everything is going well.

We still have not heard from the grandbabies since January 20 and I try not to dwell on it too much but we miss them so much. I have no idea how they are doing but I trust that God is taking care of them and keeping them out of harms way. One day, and hopefully soon, we will see them. Life has a way of kicking you in the gut and keeping you down when it happens. It is hard not to think of them, especially Noah, when it is quiet at home. I can hear him say, "bye, c ya, later". I can hear him call Lulu but he called her "Chubba". And I know the one thing that I miss the most and seeing his sweet face when I came into the back door and him calling his Papa and grabbing his leg, hugging him. Sweet, sweet Noah. And believe me when I say, a Hershey's kiss is not the same without him. He and his Papa would eat "2" every night. That is what he called a kiss..he wanted to have 2 and his Papa to have 2. There has been a bag in the refrigerator since January. Not eaten, sitting in his spot so that he could go and get him and Papa "2". My heart is broken but in reality there is not much that I nor no one else can do. But that does not stop my heart from breaking....I will be okay and it will get better with time or that is what they say but you can't prove it by me.

Take care my friends. And hopefully I will be online again this weekend. Love, peace and happiness.....
