I will draw a winner on June 14, 2009, which will be the Dad's 20th birthday! You get one entry for a girl's name choice and one entry for a boy's name choice. The choices were put up on a poll by the soon to be Mom (my beautiful daughter-in-law!!!) <br /><br />GIRLS <br />A. Aubrey <br />B. Alyssa <br />C. Amberlin <br />D. Analeigh <br />E. McKinley <br />F. McKayla <br /><br />BOYS<br />A. Gavin<br />B. Daylon<br />C. Dakota<br />D. Brawley<br />E. Brody<br />F.

My dil's grandmother is a twin, so maybe.... Give me a great UNIQUE name and I will give you another entry. It has to be something unique and different! <br /><br />I am very excited about becoming a Granny! I loved my Grannies dearly and they were both amazing women and my mom is the best Granny in the world (as I am sure all of her grandchildren would attest to, although she is called JoJo, thanks to her oldest grandson). I am very honored to be joining the ELITE women called Granny (grandma, maw maw, nana, etc...)! You all know I am a part of the weight loss group over at <a href="http://www.wahmaddictssocial.ning.com">WAHM Addicts</a>, (which is a sister site of <a href="http://www.wahmaddicts.com">www.wahmaddicts.com</a>) and I intend to further my goals so I can be in great shape to help take care of my first little grandbaby.

I am going to be a granny, WOO HOO! I am so excited I can barely stand it! My son and daughter-in-law called earlier and told me! What a FANTASTIC Mother's Day present! I am hoping for beautiful twin redheaded granddaughters. My DIL's grandma is a twin, so maybe.... Brock said I could name them and he also said he would mail me the baby via airmail and let me have it. (No, not really, you would just have to understand that this has been a running joke between me and my boys for a long time.) LOL. He knows (well, who doesnt know???) how bad I have wanted a grandbaby. I told him if it was a boy, we would take it back and he said if I spoil him/her, they wont let me see him/her. My husband is laughing at me because I am already looking at car seats and strollers (yes, we went to the mall a little bit ago) and everything else I can think of. I have attached my first purchase as a Granny! Of course, my other 2 boys are excited about becoming uncles. <br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Rs9GEtT8znY/SgCS7ko_0NI/AAAAAAAAAFU/y5xnkN80Y5M/s1600-h/FIRST+GRANNY+PURCHASE.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Rs9GEtT8znY/SgCS7ko_0NI/AAAAAAAAAFU/y5xnkN80Y5M/s400/FIRST+GRANNY+PURCHASE.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332423510952235218" /></a>Military Momzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05642476607446611964noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656008182071525925.post-74173468580892079942009-04-29T14:17:00.000-07:002009-04-29T14:19:59.513-07:00Prayer RequestI think I am fixing to pack for a trip to Nashville. My sister-in-law had an episode Saturday where she couldnt breathe and had chills. It apparently went away and then Sunday, she had another episode and an ambulance was called. Briefly, once she got to ER in Chattanooga, they diagnosed pneumonia and started IV antibiotics. Around 3 a.m., she took a turn for the worse and she was vented and sedated. Later Monday, her heart rate shot up in the 150s, put her on a med for that, didnt work, did EKG, showed abnormality. Did arteriogram, which showed a small blockage on a side vessel, but doctor didnt think that was causing this. By late afternoon, they decided to airlift her to Vanderbilt in Nashville. They tried taking her off the sedation meds today and her blood pressure shot up, so they put her back on a low dose. My brother said she opened her eyes briefly once during this period, but was quickly back out. Right now, they think it is something viral and it is affecting her heart.<br /><br />Today, my brother sounded upbeat as they were going to take her off the sedatives and were looking for her to wake up. I was later told by mom that she had another episode, so the sedatives were given again. Please keep her, my brother and their 2 beautiful teenagers in your prayers!Military Momzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05642476607446611964noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656008182071525925.post-83895050332347831352009-04-24T14:50:00.000-07:002009-04-24T15:17:14.915-07:00Platform Shoes, Bob Mackie and Blue Eyeshadow and dont forget disco duck, LOLGo by <a href="http://annagain66.blogspot.com/">Ann's</a> for the <a href="http://annagain66.blogspot.com/">Virtual Girls Night Out Party!!!</a> Disco makes me wanna shake my groove thing!

We went over to my mom's today to help her clean out her old house. She has 3 homes on her property and I am talking about the house I grew up in. We are fixing to have it torn down, but I am not too sad about that as the memories I have are just too great!!! Oh, the goodies we found! I found my glasses I had when I was like 5 years old, love postcards from my dad to my mom back in the 60s, my mom's graduation pin and junior and senior banquet books, etc..., My little sister's favorite band T-shirts, (Alabama, New Kids on the Block and Billy Ray Cyrus). The dishes (and a ton to Tupperware) in the kitchen. We used to go to Tupperware parties all the time when I was a kid. We ordered pizza and chicken bites and goofed off and then went back to it. We are going to be able to have one awesome yard sale. But most of all, we created a new memory, as we had the best time, laughing and cutting up and just remembering. I know when we found the letters from my dad to my mom, it brought tears to all of our eyes. He has only been gone 2 years in May and one of my brothers, he has been gone 5 years in August. We cried a little, remembered a lot, laughed a lot and oh yeah, my mom was going to spank me for something, LOL. She is truly a remarkable woman and I hope my children love me and think of me like I do her!!! She is not only my mom, she is my best friend, with my sister following closely!!!Military Momzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05642476607446611964noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656008182071525925.post-77614172089442922282009-04-18T08:28:00.001-07:002009-04-18T17:16:13.318-07:00Weight lossI am on a mission! Weight loss and toning before beach! LOL - We are hopefully going to the beach in July and I am on a mission to get 50+ pounds off by then. I have been slowly losing and have lost over 15+ pounds. I really want to tone up my arms too. I have a treadmill, weight bench, ab-roller and a gym like thing we got from Sears that you can do all kinds of exercises with, arms, abs, thighs, legs, etc..

WOW! I have been super busy and I have missed my blogging. I love reading the other blogs and seeing what everyone is up to. <br /><br />Today would have been my dad's 81st birthday. He passed away 05/04/2007. We all miss him so much! He was a great man, handsome, funny and him and my mom were just so adorable. They were married almost 50 years. My dad was in the Army. He actually lived close to my mom after he got out of the Army and they ended up eloping in Clearwater, Florida. She had went to visit relatives and he followed her there and they got married. We always loved hearing about he followed her to FL to marry her!<br /><br />Rest in peace Dad! We love you!Military Momzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05642476607446611964noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656008182071525925.post-41475103084254593722009-03-31T06:03:00.000-07:002009-03-31T06:08:11.099-07:00CA reunion with wife<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Rs9GEtT8znY/SdIUwGTt68I/AAAAAAAAAEU/wW0_oOIC2zI/s1600-h/B%26D.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Rs9GEtT8znY/SdIUwGTt68I/AAAAAAAAAEU/wW0_oOIC2zI/s400/B%26D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319336926437567426" /></a><br /><br />What a cute pic of my son and his wife!

My son is on his way back to CA and I am not going to be able to go, which really makes me sad. I had so wanted to be there when his plane lands! But... Guess I will just start on the countdown until he gets leave to come home, which will be in May. Bummer! I so wanted a hug from him this weekend! They kept changing the times at the last minute. He was supposed to leave on the 19th, then the 11th then it was today. But... maybe things will work out and I will find a way to go. Just hope my inside source keeps me updated so... maybe I can be there!Military Momzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05642476607446611964noreply@blogger.com2
