ALWAYS LEARNING ABOUT THINGS

The newest thing I learned today is that when you write on your blog to make a post...and then you save it cuz you don't have time to finish it...When you DO post it, it has the date that you started it on...ARRGH..so now no knows that I updated, because it is still at the bottom of the list...This taught me to add another blog to make sure I get it up to the top so people will read it..DUH.. That is not rocket science.
I have also learned that weeding is harder work than I remember and I still hate it as much as I used to...BUT it sure looks nice when it is done and the mulch is down. I am adding pictures of what Bob and I did this sunday afternoon.. I actually wanted to sleep on the couch since I still have 4 days of school this week. The plants I planted last year have really grown and it does look better and GET THIS: I am thinking of making the flower area bigger this year...Yeah I am pretty stupid, but it does look better. And to put things in perspective I can just see my little TANNEY BOP walking through the flowers next year and having a great time before we swing on the hammonck...awww.. a memory in the making..



Well, as long as I was outside, I decided to take a picture of your new CHEAP table and chairs on the deck. It is hard to beat 4 chairs a table and and an umbrella for $88. Yeah I am a good shopper and I did not buy it online...REALLY...



I bought Bob a hammock swing and we put it up today.. I also got him a big ass hammock but it didnt come yet..I dont want to overwhelm him with so many things to put together and put up. We had a wooden swing inthe front year until Bob and my mom broke it last year..with them on it...lol. So I got this more comfortable one for Bob...yep you guessed it....AND GRANDCHILDREN
Okay I am so sure this blog has moved me up to the top.. I am expecting alot of people reading this and enjoying it..And as an added touch to this blog...Here are some pictures of little Tanner.

A LOT OF STUFF HAS BEEN HAPPENING

Oh man, I can believe it has been 2 months since I have written on here..because tons of stuff has happened. April is always the busiest moth for me since it is AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH... that just means alot of stuff going on in the schools and community. Spring break started the month off, but not good. I had the stomach flu for the whole entire week..I got up Saturday morning and didn't feel well until the following friday...IT WAS HORRENDOUS...RIGHT SUZI?... On the good side, I lost 11 pounds and had it all gained back by Monday morning...That was not right...
Easter was nice and I kept thinking it would be the last Easter that I would not be a GRAMMA...super excited about that..
We had a couple projects at school for autism and had to get all those going..I send all the teachers awareness things to do with their kids: word searches, internet finds, coloring pages etc, so I got all those in the email to them. I have 22 schools and 46 teachers so it is quite a list. We also decided to do a BULLETIN BOARD CONTEST. The ASNCI would give two $100 prizes to the winning bulletin boards that best spread autism awareness. WE had two winners, Theresa Holmes from my building, and Melissa Smith from Olive School in New Carlisle.
The walk was great and lots of people showed up, lots of fun with everyone, alot more orgnized and even though minor things happened, like rain, thunder, blowing fuses, not being able to cook the hotdogs or make popcorn..all in all it was great..I do think that this will be my last year of chairing the event. There are alot of capable people out there, I will still go and do my registration thing..just not the WHOLE thing.










AND THEN THE MOST EXCITING NEWS WAS THE BIRTH OF OUR FIRST GRANDCHILD...WOW.. It was and continues to be the most amazing thing ever in my life..If I could see her everyday, I would. I think about her all the time and can't wait to hear my phone beep to know that I have a new picture of her from Chels.
George and Chels had a 8# 15 ounce baby girl on May 2, 2009..we were there too..not in the room, but in the hospital. She was 20 inches long and Chels and Hori had a pretty easy time, just seven and half hours total..Chels said it wasnt that bad and she would do it again...
Then they brought little Tanner Quinn home and now Chels thinks she will wait awhile to get pregnant for the next lil leedle.
She is a wonderful baby, not only adorable, sweet and perfect (gramma says so) she really is a good baby..eating ad sleeping a a little fussing just to keep her mommy and daddy on their toes.
