Nikki Had A Day At The Spa

It's hard maintaining such beauty. I stopped by the Spa about noon and everyone stopped everything to welcome me. It's nice to be so pampered. They start your shampoo and then that blow dryer just feels so good. It gets a little cold when you get all wet like that. Then they bring out the brush and smell good spray. I feel like a million dollars when it's all done. And mom and dad carry me around for a while so I don't get dirty or grass stain. That doesn't last to long though. If you are looking for a great place to spend the day, just give Grand Paws a call and tell them Nikki sent you.

What a Great Weekend!

I had the rare privilege of having my teenage grandsons for the weekend . We thoroughly enjoyed them. We had dinner with Lanny, Lila and the girls along with their friend Erica. Also the boys cousin Danielle stayed with us. After dinner we stopped by the park where the High School CSU club was having a gospel sing. That is where the picture was taken if I can get it to post. Then they decide to rent a scary movie and eat ice cream so I invited them to our house to watch it on the big screen. Much to Lanny's delight and Jeff's chagrin (lol) they accepted. It was so much fun. They ate ice cream and I, yes I, made cookies. They were great. The movie even scared the dog so we retreated to the bedroom.

Then Sunday morning I got the kids up and we all went to Sunday School and Church together. What a blessing. While we were waiting to get ready for church my oldest grandson got a phone call from a friend who tells him he needs to get to church (their church). He tells him he is but he is at his grandparents in Cameron. Now I know this is how it is suppose to be but it has not always been this way. Praise the Lord for His grace and mercy.

Parents enjoy your children even when it's not what you may have planned. God gives us opportunities that we don't always recognize as gifts. As our family is all to much aware, we don't always get the next chance we thought we would have to enjoy these precieous moments.

KAIROS #3

I'm not so great with the pictures so check out Carrie's blog for the latest on KAIROS #3. It was an amazing experience for us (the support team), the team members and the Offenders. I am so grateful that Cameron First Baptist is so supportive of this ministry.

NIKKI - New to the Family

Some of you may not know that we had to put our Boxer, Lady to sleep a couple of weeks ago. And you probably heard me say NO MORE DOGS. Well you may have also heard of "Famous last Words." Meet Nikki. She's 8 weeks old. Jeff brought her home and how can you say no to a face like that. She got her name because our friends Lanny and Lila have a male named Nike. So Jeff gets the bright idea we should name her Addidas. NOT! So we settled on Nikki. That's great except I try to call her Nike.

One FLU over the Miles Nest

Well it's been a while but Jeff is down for the count. He has the Flu! When I got home from church last night his temp was 101.7. His neck is also bothering him. It couldn't be that he over did Wednesday night helping in game time at AWANA. Abby was also sick and Alex has class now on Wednesday. He usually makes it before too long but we never know so I asked Jeff to help Darla. After opening for Sparks and TNT Darla went over and Pat Ramsey was helping Jeff with the cubbies. Yea!!!!!!!!! Later when I went over Jeff is on a scooter (the cubbies use) on his chest and Pat is pushing him like a wheel barrow and swinging him in circles. They also played dodge ball and I'm not sure who had more fun, the clubbers or the men. (I use the term men loosely.) lol. Seriously we are so blessed that we have Christian men who are willing to step up and do whatever it takes to share God's word. Thank's guys.
