Catching Up!

Hello, hello. It has certainly been a long time since I posted to this blog of mine...but if this past week is any indication of how things can pop up unexpectedly than by all means I will take the time to brag about my kids and family while I have the time to do it! So not much has changed since I last posted...last February. So here is a recent family picture of us and now I will take the time to blog seperatley on each of us...

Here she is Miss. Lake Winola! Hello, is FRAP there?

Here are two more recent pictures of the kids. Lorelai was modeling her new swimsuit for Nana. This is the one she is wearing to the beach this year. Randall says after looking at this picture that when she turns 16 he'll have to have his shotgun at the ready! FRAP, as we call him, has a fixation with cell phones. He is usually carrying an old one with him wherever he goes.

Dad Garrison, Lorelai and Quarries

Good afternoon everyone. It's me logging in to update. As you all know Dad went in to the hospital this past Tuesday for a normal biopsy, and ended up staying for an extended visit. His fever flucuated from 99.6 to 103.5 at the highest. He is doing fine now after they pumped him with some pretty powerful antibiotics. His fever has held at 99.4 for the last day and a half and he is scheduled to come home today. Thank you for all your prayers and calls. You have no idea how much it means to us, his family. So I thought I was out of the woods with Lorelai's sicknesses this year. She sure has had her fair share, but, this morning about 3:00 she came in to Randall and I saying she was very cold and wanted warm jammies on. I felt her head and discovered a 101.2 temp. So I gave her some Ibuprofen and we went back to sleep. Upon waking this morning she still had a fever and threw up twice. So I am trying to keep her from getting worse. But with a three year old. That's difficult. She doesn't want to sit still. Some of our newer news is that Randall has found another quarry to start digging at and will begin soon. This will in no way be a full time job, but instead a "by the order" quarry. Ok so I am going to go. I will post later. - Bye for now!

Isn't she talented? I happen to think she looks a lot like me in these pictures. I have a picture from when I was little and we were visiting Mac and Peg. My hair is identical to this and I have that same "angelic" smile!

Here he is my little man. Is he not the most adorable little guy ? This was taken out at my brothers on a visit.

WOW! Ok, so it has been a reallllllllly long time since I have posted. Smack my hand with a ruler now! Amazingly though, not much has changed in our little lives. The personal situation I spoke about in my last post is taken care of and no longer will be a problem.
Lorelai is still Lorelai and is itching for Spring to be here finally. Randall Jr. is as cute as ever and is now finally eating like a boy should. Greenbeans and carrotts seem to be his favorite. Randall Sr. is working, what's new. And me, why I am just busy doing my housework. Actually we'll start decaling the race car soon, so that will be something new to look forward to. I am not writing much tonight ut I am going to post a couple of pictures for you enjoyment.

Superbowl Sunday.

As anyone who knows me would assume, that I watched the game last night. I must say I was extremely pleased that the game was not a blow out and was very exciting. I do however wish the cardinals would have won! We had a little party at my house. My mom, dad, dad-in-law, Jeff and Nikki. Nothing huge, but we had fun. Mom of course was Steelers from head to toe, literally, she had a hat on and socks on, and everything in between! Now I will watch Mens College B-Ball, Go Nova!
Nothing much has been happening around here. Just the normal day to day life of a family. Lorelai has decided she will go to school three days a week next year and doesn't seem to be to disgruntles by the thought. Randall Jr. has begun climbing on things and scares us at least four or five times a day! Randall Sr. is FINALLY finished with the job in Jersey and has found a job he will be home for, for the next couple of weeks YAY! Me? Well, I am just taking it all in and enjoying things while I can. I had a rough patch this weekend that I would rather not get into, but I will be okay. Thank God for a strong husband, who loves me very much!
