The gift that keeps on giving

I caught the bug that my angelic little grandsons had. I think on old people anyone over 35, it must be a deadlier strain, because aside from an occassional shout of "I need a tissue!", they have been bouncing around like it's no big deal! I have felt it coming on since about Sunday, but at 1:00 this morning I woke up and thought I was going. to. die! Everything hurt on me. Even my hair hurt. Okay, maybe not my hair. But trying to swallow was ugly...no really, I watched myself in the mirror as I swallowed and I made the ugliest face. So it was easier to spit than swallow..real lady-like, I know. I went to the Urgent Care here in Gilbert, they were super nice and the Dr. gave me all the options and let me choose which course of action to take. I like that. I went with the 5 day Z pack. It should be called 5 day Gutt Bomb. I forgot how it makes my tummy feel like I've been kicked by a mule! But, I can tell I am turning the corner on this bug. By tomorrow I'll feel better and in a few days I'll be 100%!
The beautiful flowers my sweet husband sent to me in Arizona brightened my day!

Two little grandson's overheard on a Sunday morning, after church: Logan age 5: I'm your brother. You have a boogy, I need to get it for you! Landon age 3: Otay. Logan: I got him! Landon: Thanks LoLo.

My idea of Heaven

Holding baby Emmett... Nothing sweeter!
Can you believe this little guy is only 6 weeks old? He was just a smilin' and cooing!

Picnic in the sun

Playing at the park with Owen, Elly, Logan and Landon.
...and the cutest squishy baby. Oh baby Emmett is a love! And Amy looks fabulous!

Canyons aren't the only thing GRAND in AZ.

I get to spend some grandma time with these handsome little boys for a few days. Logan and Landon have been teaching me the names of fancy cars (boy are they smarties!). It has been fun! And hopefully we'll get to play with Elly and Owen and maybe even baby Emmett tomorrow.

Sock it to me!

I worry that I'm going blind. That, or we have way bad lighting in our home. I have done it before and I swore I wouldn't let it happen again...but last Sunday, to my horror, (cue psycho music) as my husband crossed his left calf over his right thigh, there they were....MISMATCHED SOCKS!!! So not only are they two different shades of blue...(he was wearing a gray suit and he thought they were black), one has a striped design on it and the other clearly has a plaid pattern!
I'm going to start a new line of clothing for old people Geriatric Garanimals.
