Noelle and Ryan's Bundle of Joy

Proud great-grandparent of Mason. He's 5 weeks old and such a good baby. I'm so glad we got to see him. He's tiny and cute and weighs only 8lbs. (He was only 6lbs at birth)

Mason sleeping like an angel on his daddy. I didn't get any pictures with Noelle, sorry. I guess because when she was holding him she was feeding him, that would not of been appropriate.

I think he looks like Noelle, but he has blonde hair and blue eyes like his dad. He's just cute, and grown alot since Amee's adorable pictures after he was born.

How to eat a New Orleans Po-Boy!!

You have to smile, it's the best food on the planet. I know my dad has eaten a million, but he said this is the best he's had.

You have to take a picture of it, it's a work of art. This is a roast beef, ham and swiss po-boy! My dad's new favorite.

Open your eyes really big and take it all in!! My mom would close her eyes everytime I took a picture of her trying to take a bite, that's how good it is, but I asked her to open them wide for this one.

Open wide and let the gravy run down your arms to your elbows!!

Wash it down with a cold Barq's rootbeer!! When we decided to go to New Orleans last weekend my parents asked me what we wanted to do. I said what else EAT!! And eat we did!!

Just Random Stuff

Thought I'd share these beautiful orange and yellow roses Faren gave me last week when I wasn't feeling well. They were just little buds and bloomed into these gorgeous flower.

This Brayden and his great invention. When ever the grandkids come over to play, Brayden likes me to take pictures of his creativity. He's a cutie isn't he!

This is Adam and Marilyn in our backyard sitting under the willow tree. It's one of my favorite spots in our backyard. Don't they look happy!!

This is Autumn and me sharing a bag of Zapp's chips. A few seconds after this picture the bag ended up in her lap. Yep she's got that New Orleans gene. Those chips are pretty spicy too!

Stone Mountain Georgia

Faren and I went to Atlanta and got to visit Stone Mountain. It brought back alot of memories, when we use to take kids and family there. We just brought blankets and sat on the ground and at dark they have a laser light show that is spectacular on the mountain. It's really cool.

I wish I could remember more of the history, but someone carved this right out of the side of this huge rock. I think he died before he could finish the legs on the horses. It's pretty awesome the way that it is though. It is so pretty in Atlanta so many trees and lots of green.

We use to bring picnics, like most of the people here and the kids would run and play. Faren and I had fun just watching and reminising about old times with the kids and family visits on that hill. By the time the show started the place was packed and it was a Tuesday night. We tried to take pictures of the laser show but they didn't turn out, it was too dark.

Trip to Florida Postponed

Kay Marie and I were planning a trip to see Kevin and Kelly and spend a few days at the beach in Pensacola, but we had to cancel. Kerrie and her family are moving to Nebraska and guess what, they picked the week Kay and I were suppose to be in Florida to move. So to make things easier on Kerrie and Kay Marie we decided to go another time. Oh well, it was fun thinking about and planning it. It's all good though, Kay Marie has the whole week off work now, and can now spend as much time with Kerrie and kids their last week before they move. So that's a blessing. I know I would of wanted to do the same thing myself.

Not to be out shopped by my girls!!!

Okay, you've seen April's great savings; and now Staci is on the coupon and saving path.
Here is what I saved today at Kroger: I spent $26.74 on 18 items and saved $29.96, with coupons and store savings. I wish I knew how to load pictures on my computer, but I don't so you can't see it but I bought :
4 yogurts (not on sale--I'm trying a new smoothie recipe)
4 containters of Wisk laundry soap (32 load size)
4 boxes of Betty Crocker (low fat) brownie mixes
1-6 pack of scott paper towels
2 Hormel complete meals
1 bag of spinach
1 bag of mixed broccoli and carrots
1 Healthy Choice frozen pizza (my lunch)

I'm not quite as good at April, her and her spending $7.00 on a grocery cart of food. But it's all good. Staci keep it up.
