Tag Your IT

Thanks alot Grace! You know how boring I am. Oh well here goes.

How to play.

*Here's how you play....once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with ten random facts, habits, or goals about yourself. At the end, choose ten people to tag, listing their names and why you chose them; don't forget to leave a comment on their page letting them know "tag you're it". You cannot tag the original people/person back that tagged you first, but let them know when you have posted so they can read your blog.

1. I am a Nana of four grandchildren. Brandon 14, Chad 12, Sydnie 10, and Kamrie. Of course if you read my blog you already know this.

2. I have two daughters, Kimberly (I can't tell you how old they are or I'll be in trouble.) Who works for the First Christian Church in Gallatin where she is the Church Secretary and just loves her job. Brianne who works for Dr. Hindapur in St. Joseph and loves her job also.

3. I have one husband lol! His name is Jeff. We met on my 40th birthday and yes he was 29 at the time so yes I robbed the Cradle. We have been married 13 years, but you aren't going to find out how long we dated so you can't figure out how old I am.

4. My husband and I have worked together for 6 years now and are still married.

5. I am the AWANA Commander for Cameron FBC. We have a great Club and a great Church.

6. I have been to Romania 4 times on missions trips. My roommate has been Whitney Wake and we have a great time. I would never has imagined having such amazing friendships with people so far away.

7. My favorite books to read are the Yada Yada Prayer Group series. I'm not so patiently waiting for number 7.

8. I love to play BUNCO with my friends.

9. My favorite place to be would be at the beach anywhere.

10. I love football but I'm not happy with the Chiefs right now. So far this year the highlight has been at my grandson's junior varsity game when Brandon took the opening kickoff and ran it back 80 yards for a touchdown.

So Andrew, Lanny, you're it. That's the only ones left.

Kamrie, My fourth Grandchild

Yes I know it has been a while since I have posted. You see this will not be one of the easier posts to do. You may recognize the older little girl in the above picture. That's Sydnie my third grandchild. The baby in the picture you probably won't recognize. She is Sydnie's little sister Kamrie Cierra Crabb. My fourth grandchild.


As you can see she is a beautiful, healthy baby girl. She was born October 19, 1999. She died February 9th 2002. On February 6 2002 she came by my office about 8:15 a.m. with her Dad and she showed me her new white gloves. She gave me a kiss and a big hug and left to pick up her sister to take her to Pre-school. About 2 hours later, after they dropped Sydnie at Pre-school, I found out she had been a car accident and she was life flighted to Childrens Mercy Hospital. I'll spare you the details of the next three days except to tell you that the hardest thing I have ever done is to kneel beside my baby girl while she holds her baby girl and the Dr. takes her off of life support and she goes to be with our Lord.

Parents and Grandparents hold your children everyday and tell them you love them. Take pictures and movies of them and as Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it."

I thank God for the visit just before the accident. I miss Kamrie everyday and yes I still shed tears just like the ones I'm shedding right now, but Praise God that I will see her again and we can play together with all my grandchildren, because they all have accepted Christ as their Saviour.

I will post more pictures of Kamrie later. And by the way she was an organ and tissue donor. Two children received the gift of sight and two children received her heart valves. It is my prayer that they lead healthy, productive, Christian lives because of her gift.
