This Little Newt Newt...

Has changed our lives forever...

My daughter Ronnie told me a month and a half ago that she thought our granddaughter Noelle was teething, I did not believe her... I was wrong, Noelle is only 4 months old but has two bottom teeth already.

She is also very tall for her age, all her pants look like crop pants on her!

Above is a photo of the cake our daughter Ronnie made for her grandpa's birthday... I think it's more then blog worthy.

********************************

I know it's been awhile since I have blogged anything creative such as crafts~My priorities shifted somewhat when Noelle was born. She is growing and doing wonderful so it won't be long till I'm back to being creative and crafting again... I hope you all hang in here with me~♥~

***********************************

As I write this Noelle is sitting on my lap grabbing my hands, she wants to type something so here goes: l;[[0opplppppppppppppppppppp9ffofi= =dzllllllll

(Now that's a masterpiece!) :)

This Is Your Face...

This is your face on concrete... Any questions?

The High school guys in the neighborhood have been trying to do standing back flips. Our 17 year old son Timothy(pictured above) nailed it and landed on his feet the first time and each time after that for the last couple of weeks... UNTIL last night... He landed on his face which landed him in the ER-No major damage... He says it just hurts to smile!

By the way, the doctor in the ER said he needed stitches because the hole under his eye is very deep (we saw bone) but there wasn't enough skin left to stitch-I'm just thrilled the fall didn't take his eye out!

Your Prayers = Two Praises...

~Grandma and Grandpa 1950~
On my last post I had told you all that my grandmother wasn't doing well and Hospice was called...I asked for prayer. Well, our prayers have been answered. Hospice was called away, grandma is too strong and will be sticking around in this world for a long while! Her doctors are floored with how strong she is. It is however taking two people to care for her at this time while physical therapy is being done on her hip. Mom and I were there last week, then my dad came and I left and my brother is going over in a week or so then I will head back down. The nurse said it would probably be a month before she is walking on her own but I have a feeling grandma is going to surprise everybody! Thanks again everyone!


~Noelle Grace~
Our little grand baby Noelle turned 4 months old on the 18th...Isn't she precious? She has the biggest brightest blue eyes and long long eyelashes. I thank everyone once again for the prayers you said for Noelle before and after she was born. She has been healed of Spina Bifida and is doing everything any "normal" baby would do. I think she is alot like her great great grandmother for she is extremely strong for a baby. Noelle has her doctors baffled!
Thank you everyone for your prayers...
~Thank you Lord for these two precious miracles~

Have A Great Week...

I took this photo at Ruby Beach not far from Forks Washington last week. There were hundreds of hummingbirds all over the wild rose bushes that were just beginning to bloom by the ocean. My husband and I have never seen such a sight! We had the best time ever. P.S. If you want to see this hummingbird in all his glory, click on the photo.

I'm off to Medford Oregon tomorrow, my precious grandmother took a turn for the worse and Hospice has been called. Please keep Grandma May in your prayers, we would so appreciate them.

I'm not sure how long I will be gone and don't know if I will have a Internet connection while I'm there, if I do I will post. If not, I will see you all when I get back.

Much Love,

Robin~♥

Easter Blessings...


Hymn:
"Up from the grave He arose,With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,He arose a Victor from the dark domain,And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.He arose! He arose!Hallelujah! Christ arose!"

Every Easter morning my brother and I would be somewhere in the house and my mom would barge in marching like a bandmaster with their scepter in the air! She would be singing in her opera voice at the TOP of her lungs to this hymn...EVERY single year-Yet every year she would catch my brother and I off guard!

Fast forward years later... My kids are somewhere in the house on Easter morning and I barge in singing this hymn at the top of my lungs~ The only difference is I don't sing opera and I can never get through the whole song because I get so choked up thinking about Jesus dying for us all. Someday I can only hope my kids will sing this wonderful hymn to my grandchildren too... Because Hallelujah Christ Arose!

Shout it from the rooftops people!

P.S. ~Good news... He's coming back too!

Acts 1:11 ~ "Men of Galilee, " they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."

The Beach...

Hi Friends & Fam,

Tim and I will be taking off to the beach for a few days-We went over for one day last week and had such a great time we decided to go back!

I also wanted to thank everyone who prayed for my grandmother before and after her surgery. She is doing well right now. My mom and Aunt Boo Boo (yes, I've called her that my whole life) are in Oregon with her at this time. They have worked with the doctors to get her medication right so that grandma isn't getting sick anymore. Mom said Grandma is in some pain but she is also back to her "old" self again (in other words she is as sharp as a tack) :)

Here are a few photos of where Tim and I will be taking a "holiday" together this week (click on any photo to enlarge it):

~ The funny thing about the photo above is the wind is NOT blowing~

~Spring has sprung on the coast~

~Lovin' me some driftwood~

~I really like the flat round rocks that are all over Ruby Beach some of them make perfect garden/herb markers~
~My husband declaring his love for me with a heart rock he found...Awwwww he's a keeper~

~You have to look real close but this photo is of my Chihuahua's and my footprints after we ran together on the beach. I am VERY VERY pigeoned toed and so is my dog!~

~Our day is ending at Ruby Beach~

~Goodbye Mr. Sunshine, thank you for helping to make our day perfect~

Twilight Trip To La Push...

Hi Everyone,

Here are some photos I took at La Push Washington... Like I said, in a couple of weeks I will be getting better ones, these are just a little example of whats to come. If there is a area in the Twilight book series that you would like to see, leave a comment of what it is and when we go back to visit that area in a couple of weeks I will take a picture of it for you.
P.S. I will have an update on my Grandma in the next couple of days... Thank you so much for all your prayers they mean the world to me!

~Sign you will see RIGHT before you get to the La Push border~

~The true Quileute tribal legend is that they really do believe they come from wolves~

~Heading down to "First Beach" ~

~Is this Jacob and Bella's log? or is it one of the other million logs to choose from?~

~One of the views at First Beach-They look like bad vampires teeth (maybe James?)~

~Rocks/Cliffs at First Beach-Bella's "recreational" diving area?~

~Victoria must be near~
