Yesterday we had Hannah and Peyton for the day of swimming and scrapbooking. I enjoy my granddaughters sooooo much. They are wonderful, well-mannered young ladies. Of course Papa Fred did most of the work as I am still recovering from back surgery and cannot do much of anything. I'm sooooooooooooo limited. But I managed to use the cricut and cut many images of Hannah Montana for Hannah and Peyton to take home with them. I was soooo imazed at how fast Hannah learned how to use the cricut. She knew the codes and how it worked within 10 minutes I would say. She's pretty smart. Her mom said, now she'll want one for Christmas. We'll see.

Fred and I are making slow progress on the house. We are working, but I can't do much and Fred works at a slow pace. I am planning on having something done before he goes back to school and before Bryanna and her family arrive around Labor Day. So.... let's get going Fred!!!!

Bryanna and Buddy have decided to name the new baby Lauren Grace Bailey. I think it's beautiful. However, her brother, Dylan, doesn't like it. He thinks they should call her ChooChoo Train. Guess we'll have to wait and see what he ends up calling her. He is so full of energy and so much like his mother was/is. I guess what they say,.... what comes around goes around!!

Cooper is a doll. He's getting ready to celebrate his first birthday on June 26. I can't believe he's going to be a year old already. He loves to climb. He's not quite walking yet, but it won't be long. He's starting to look more like his daddy did at that age and he certainly has his impatience and temperment. Peyton just loves her little brother. Can't stop hugging him. Hannah likes to carry him all around. They really are a happy little family.

I am working on organizing my scrapbook room slowly and scrapbooking and resting. I've been told to do nothing right now. I have one spot in my back that I am still having trouble with, so not sure what that means. I start physical therapy next week, so will see if it relieves the pain or makes it worse. I am trying to be good, but it is so hard not to bend to pick something up. It's just such a natural thing to do. I'm not taking soo much pain medication, so my mind is starting to come back thank goodness.

It's only a month till I go to see my best friend, Chris, out in Natchez, MS. We are going to a weekend crop out there, but I'm going out early to be with her for a few days. I can't wait. I miss her soooooo much. I miss our playing and our talking and just being together. I can't wait for her to come back to FL. Love you Chris.... Miss you..... Can't wait to see you!!!!

Well, it's time to wake Fred up to start some more boxes. He's going through boxes at the moment. I let him sleep in a little, but then I get him motivated to start work. I really want to get this place in order this year. Hope all of you are fine and life is full of peace and love for you. My love goes out to all of you.
