Blake's Graduation

I took an early lunch to go see Blake graduate 5th grade. Ryan was taking all kinds of crazy pictures, he might grow up to be a photographer who knows. I can't believe Blake is going to middle school and will be 12 in July. He also got an award and a metal.
Janie and Lacie made him a cake and we ate supper and had cake to celebrate when we got off work. His daddy decided he needed a graduation spanking(just any reason to wrestle arround) boys will be boys.

All Prayers Appreciated !!!

On Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 Nashville got more rain than it has seen in over 80 years in a very short time. I'm sad to say that Janie and Aarons house was flooded with over 18 inches of water. They lost everything down stairs, which is their master bedroom and bath and walk in closet, kitchen, livingroom and laundry room, half bath and garage. All the floors had to be ripped out and two feet of the drywall.

Janie had come to our house on Saturday to go to a friends baby shower when the storms set in. Aaron went to the Jimmy Buffet concert with Brad. Janie decided to stay with us instead of driving home alone with Clara (5wks old) at the time.

We went to her house after the water went down. She was so heartbroken to see all of her things gone and being tossed out, but thankful that her family was still all ok.

Here are a few pics of the damage. All prayers appreciated. THANKS

May Flowers!

We have all kinds of flowers and trees and bushes that just keep blooming. Some we know what are and some we don't. We just know they are God's beautiful creations. They don't quite look so pretty today since all the hard rain and storms. These pics were took on Saturday morning about 7:00am. Enjoy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! GENE

Happy Birthday, Gene. Yes, my son was born on 4-20 and my name is Mary Jane. Gene and Buster think its funny. Everyone else seems to think its pretty funny to.

I went to get a plain cake from Kroger and the lady in the deli wanted to know why she couldn't decorate it for me. I told her she couldn't put on it what I needed. I went on shopping and came back to get the cake and she asked again what was I going to put on the cake that she couldn't, so I told her. She laughed and said tell him to enjoy and think about her. Then I get to the front of Kroger to check out and the young man asked why did you get a blank cake, what are you going to put on it. So I told him. He just laughed and laughed and shared it with his buddies.

Needless to say, Gene enjoyed his cake and we went out to eat as well.

A Visit from Janie and Clara

Janie and Clara came down yesterday and took me Legends for lunch and then she went to visit with Cassy. Then they came and eat supper with us. We enjoyed the visit.
Clara really seemed to listen to her silly nana.

Short Trip to Asheville, NC

We went to Asheville, NC last weekend to be with Daddy Jack as he had open heart surgery. We enjoyed having Aunt Wilma with us also. Daddy is doing much better now.

While we were on the way home we made a few stops on the Ocoee River and a motor cycle shop where Buster found a Buster sized Harley. It was quite large and yes, it did have a harley motor and did actually run.

Easter Week !!!!!!

We were glad to have Sunshine and family for the week. It was also Clara's first trip to Nana and Pa's house. Buster smoked pink meat for Saturday's lunch and egg hunt. Of course, as usual it was great! The kids sure had a lot of fun. We finally got a house with good entertaining areas and the kids love it. The big kids too!

We had 5 of our 6 kids and 8 of our 10 grandkids down, Aunt Wilma, Cassy and her two kids. Shane had to work and we hate they didn't get to come down. They were missed.

WELCOME CLARA !!!!!

I was so honored to be in the room with Janie and Aaron to take the first video and pics of Clara. Her name is Clara Ruth Price. She weighed in at 7.5 lbs and was 20 3/4" long. Janie and baby are doing fine.

Happy Birthday Buster!

Buster did a good job smoking meat for his own birthday dinner. As always it was great. Aunt Wilma came down and spent the night with us Saturday night and we really enjoyed getting to spend time with her. As you can see from the pics, you never get to old to have fun. The swing-activity set was suppose to be for the grandkids, but some of the adults seem to have just as much fun. Yesterday's weather was so nice. We pretty much stayed outside most of the day.
