NOOOO News. yet.

We are anxiously on stand by for any sign of the impending birth. Nothing. Zippo. Yawn....ZZzzz....
Britt sneezed the other day and we all collectively jumped up and headed towards the door before we realized it was a sneeze. Geeeze.
So, what are we doing besides cooking and cleaning and preparing for the blessed event?
getting to know PEP!
If you scroll down a bit, you'll see I put him on here with Rhett leading him and Connie the Mule and Connie's Mama in a pasture. Well, Pep, is now at Dillon's ranch for a month or so while Court decides if she wants him. So far, so good!
See him smiling while he chews on straw while working out! A very VERY happy horse, of course! hee
We've also been staring at Britts ever expanding belly!
She has 14 days left. Of course, if she wants to come earlier than that, that's perfectly fine with all 35 of us waiting!
I also got me a bread machine and I've been whipping out some fanTABulous breads! What I've decided tho is it's MUCH cheaper to make your own quality bread than to buy it. Now, Wal-mart sells a loaf of white for .88 cents a loaf. I ain't talking about that. I'm talking about Panara Bread quality stuff. I gotta do something to pass the time!!!
Welp, that's about it. My lone 'mater plant is still kicking with a lone tomato on it. pitiful.
Gotta go!
More soon!

Remiss....

SOOO sorry to everyone for not updating more often. Busy is no excuse! Thanks to Dad who has taken pics of everything we have done, I have pictures!
Here is a picture of Dillon's birthday party Courtney threw for him.
Court made him this cake from scratch using Connie's recipe. It was beyond fabulous...
HA!
Here is Courtney with her two favorite guys...
of course if there's a guitar sitting around, I gotta play....
and Dillon and his parents were AMAZED with my skills!
Then Silker and Courtney entertained...
Mom enjoyed....
ALSO...Brittany's boyfriend Brandon graduated and his family threw him a huge party at the Fire department where he works...
Here we are...that's me in the middle! hee
Here is Brandon with his Aunt, I believe...
Also, was Britt's birthday party. Here are a few pictures of the baby's stuff and family...
Awww....I LOVE her crib set!
Here are the family....
Dad didn't get any pics of Mom and him. I took some pictures too, but I haven't loaded them up yet.
Welllll, that's it for the moment. I have to get ready for work this morning. This week, I have my guitar lesson, Britt's OB appt., work and finalizing prep for the baby to come home. I hope to take some pictures of it! (at least I TRY!)
More soon-

HOT!

The sun is TERRIBLE here in the south. My poor tomato plant is holding on, barely. I've been told to water it only in the late afternoons, which I've been doing. I'll take a picture of it tonight when I water it. It's still dark outside this morning. I'm gonna take my guitar outside and a lounge chair and then I'm going to pick it a tune to perk it up. I'll try anything. I MAY put an unbrella up over it to help shade it.
This weekend was spent not doing alot. TOO HOT. I still prefer the summer over our winters here in the south. Our winter temps. are cold and humid, so the coldness gets into your bone! REALLY!
Well, as you can tell, no pictures today. I just rechecked to see if maybe the girls added any to picasa, but they didn't either. I'll think of something creative to capture and share it!
More soon-
Joan
