Don and my mom, cute pic :-)

Jason and Sasha :-)

Sasha and Stac. I can't believe how big the kids have grown since last year:-( I want next year to take it's time. In another year and a half I will have a teenage grandson. I remember thinking how far away that time was, now it's almost here. TIME SLOW DOWN!!!!

My Don :-)

I can't believe he can wear this shirt 3 months ago the buttons were 6 inches away from each other. I'm not sure if he will go down much more on his shirt size because he has always had a big chest. This has been the best thing to happen to Don in a long time. He can bend over w/o hurting. I am so proud of him.

He was so excited he could fit into the pants size 40. He now weighs 219 lbs. He want to get to 190 but I'm happy with 200. Now I need to lose weight:-) I'm thankful he has always been positive about his journey. I really can't think of a nicer guy, I'm so lucky:-)

Love :-)

I've known this kid since he has been born and love him very much. He is having a really hard time finding his way. I know that with prayer we will be able to help him. Whenever I hug him I can't explain it but the spirit is so strong. If you have the time please pray for him, I won't give his name but Heavenly Father will know.

Summertime!!!

Don made these bottle launchers and I think I laughed for about 2 hours. Kev and Tyler were so cute. I love when we are together. Family is everything to me:-)

I just loved this pic because it is so carefree!!

Aja using pretzels to fill in the words.

Kya just being cute in her dollar swimsuit:-)

Kee'Onu I don't know what kind of face that is...LOL

We just bought a big swimming pool, I think Don thinks this will cure me from asking for a real pool. I will still keep begging, I think I've been asking for one for about 20 years, I'm getting closer...LOL

Pretty Ipo :-)

Don took all these cute girls to the movies. I love him so much he is so fun with the kids.

Another carefree pic:-)

I was watching the kids from the window upstairs and this is what I saw. I bought this playhouse about a year ago and they never use it. They said to me "Well nana you wanted us to play on it" silly kids.

Aja and Sasha sidewalk fun. I sure do love the kids they are all so fun and different from each other. I have been so blessed to have the kids live so close to me. I love making memories with them.

Basal Skin Cancer :-(

I know not a beautiful picture but I decided to post so maybe all of you that go out into the sun would think twice on going w/o sunscreen. This is basal skin cancer's mark after removal. It will look better after a few months but the scary thing is it can come back. My chin is because they removed a mole I didn't want to take a chance on getting "Melanoma". I was going to keep it a secret but why would I when I could warn people not to take chances. This has been so hard emotionally, the first question I asked after surgery when I woke up was " Do I still have a nose". I think I scared myself looking at the pics on the internet.
So please wear sunscreen and make sure you put it on your babies. BTW this is the least scary of the skin cancers. I can't imagine having the others.

My Little Don :-)

This is how this shirt use to fit!!!

He used my blanket to fill it in. It's hard for me to believe that he filled that shirt in.

Don has lost 120lbs, that's 10 pants sizes, and 5 shirt sizes!! I just bought him 44 pants and XL shirts. I'm so proud of him!!!

Prayers

Stac has been sick since November with "Guillain- Barre' Symdrome". I have tried to remain positive about the whole thing but it's getting to be too much. She was learning to live with it adjusting to knowing what her limits were, then she was weak and stumbled from the bathroom to the bedroom and fell against her nightstand and bed. She thought she was in pain from the Guillain-Barre' only, not knowing that she tore both rotator cuffs, and sprained her ankle.
Stacie is a strong and doesn't really let people know how much pain she is in including me. I thought that she was doing a lot better, but this time she couldn't hide it. Kev is the only one that knew the degree of pain. I feel so bad.
Please keep her in your prayers. What keeps me going is I know Heavenly Father hears our prayers.
