So this week has been a really long week. It all started Saturday night. Mu husbands mom got put in the ICU in OKC (Oklahoma City). So I had to call the red cross to get the man home so we could go see Mama. Well that all happened really fast. We left CT Sunday in the afternoon and arrived to OKC in the evening. On Tuesday afternoon Mama went to Heaven. She had a great life and lived as good as she could. She will be missed dearly. We love you Mama.

So on Wed. we decided that while we are here we should celebrate her life and get everyone together. That called for grocery shopping and food preparing. So my mom and I hit the store and the kitchen to make a feast. Thursday which was Thanksgiving we had a huge feast with all the family here. It was so nice. One of the best ones I have been to years. I loved it. After super we drove down the street to see more family and we took a ton of pics. It was so nice to see people. Some of these people I have not seen in 10yrs or more. Just a blessing to have them all here in the area for me and my family to see and for each one of them to finally get to meet each other. Just wonderful stuff going on.

So today is black Friday..... don't you know I was up and out at 4 today to get in line. Yep... I know I am out of town and about 900 miles away from home but I sure did hit the store. I did not get what I was going for but I did get my kids a bunch of movies that were only $2.00. Great deal people and I got to people watch. I loved it. It was nice. I was all done and back home by 5:30am. Also on the list for today would be to take Grandpa out, go to Brick town, buy Sissy her birthday stuff as tomorrow is Sissy's birthday, get the kids as they stayed at my sisters house, visit with more family, wash cloths, pack, go through more of Mama's stuff and this list could go on. I just don't have enough time to do all that I need to while I am here. So in Feb. I will have to come back for 2 weeks to get the rest done. I tell you people just too much going on. So as I mentioned Sissy's birthday is Saturday so we celebrated it Thursday on Thanksgiving. While all the family was here. Besides Sat... we will be in the air.

So as you can see this has been a very long and busy week. This was just a fast run down. This could be longer but I want you all to see some new pics.

So enjoy..... :) This is my family. My husband and 2 kids with my Grandma.

This would be all the cousins. Starting with Bubba, my sisters daughter and son, Sissy and then new addition of my brothers first born, his son. The man , my dad, me, bubba, sissy, new nephew, my brother, his wife, my mom, my other sister-in-law and finally my other brother in the very back. Okay take 2 with no dog...... This is my cousin and my uncle (my dads brother) my other cousin (the 2 boys belong to my uncle) They are 17 and 16 and stand at 6'4...With my grandma. My uncle is my grandmas son. My dad his mom (Grandma) and his brother (my uncle).So just another shot. See how damn short I am.... So sissy got do her birthday for the first time with family. She is now 9.... man where did the time go?My son has a major thing with motor cycles. He loves them. We put him on this loud hog and he reached right for the gas. He will own one when he is older... he assured me of that.

So that is all folks. I don't think you all noticed. But I have a sister and her husband that had to go to all of his families houses for Thanksgiving and another brother that was not here. SO today I think we will be taking more complete family pics. I will post more later..... love you all.
