Effort

 

Now if you could get a good picture just by putting in a lot of effort we would have some great ones because I did everything except stand on my head to get everyone to look and smile....

Some of the better ones...

 

 

 

 

Well these are about the best of my lot and I doubt if Missy or Daddy got better ones....

Try, Try, Again...

 

We went to the beach today to get pictures of the 7 Grand Kids.....Most of the pictures came out something like this....

The Beach...

 

The two almost twins playing at the beach.....Amanda is getting sandy and Benjamin is cleaning her up....

Fun Times...

 

 

Today was treatment day for me. Missy hauled me and picked me up...

Austin's Mama has been in the Hospital for 2 days. She is going to have a baby girl in September and she is having a few problems...Please pray for her, Austin loves his Mama very much and he is worried. Bettina is a good Mama to my Grand Boy and we all hope she just does just fine..Austin has been with us for the past 2 days and we have had a whole crew here. Missy was off today so she drove him to school, I got to ride along but when she picked him up I was asleep.

After sleeping all evening I got up and the house was a bit of a mess....I do not know why I did not think of it before but Kris has 2 slave children, Kaylin 13 and Mackenzie 10 that are certainly able to clean house...and for just a little cash they are very agreeable and do an excellent job.....So after they picked up and put away stuff I cleaned the baths and floors and 'wall la' we have a very clean house...

I am doing laundry right now...

Tomorrow morning we are going to try to get pictures of the Grand Kids at VVL in front of the water falls...I am not holding my breath of getting one of all of them together.....I have all ready asked Kris if I have to do anything but get myself ready and she said No...I am holding her ton that ...then I had another photo session set up at a studio Sunday...If the kids are not agreeable tomorrow....Mackenzie and I am going to have our picture made Sunday, just with the 2 of us....I am sure she and I will be very agreeable on a pose....

I have tried to be very agreeable with a whole house full of people but I know I do so much better one on one....It has not been easy....you know how they say they will be happy when company leaves well this will not be true with me....no matter how much I fuss it is still better than not having them here...I have really tried to bite my tounge and just let them run and have fun...but it sure gets loud....I wish I was more like Daddy and less like Mama....With this many you have to keep them active and interested and you need to be right on top of things so no one gets out of hand where you have to raise your voice to get their attention and I have just not felt good enough to do that.

My blood work was a little low today. My hemiglobin has droped to 8.2 and I guess that is why I am so tired. My Daughter in lae turned 21 today and I did not even get around to getting her a gift or card....That is almost unforgiveable...

Oh well, tomorrow is another day and a chance to do better...
