Baby

Have you ever put something up so you wouldn't lose it? Well....I do that regularly, but the thing is, I don't remember where I put it. I did that a few days ago. I had 2 flash drives that I took out of my purse....I remember that part....and I put them up so I wouldn't lose them. I've been looking for a week now for those stupid things!!!! WHERE did I put them??????? I'm going crazy.


On a much better note....Lacy and Ignacio are having a baby in March. We just found out that it is a boy. We are all very excited, especially Lacy. They live in Wichita Falls. He is a supervisor at Best Buy and she is a nurse. I don't know if I'm allowed to tell his name yet. Erick came up with a nick name for him and told Tony. So now they won't quit calling him that and it makes Lacy so mad. They love to aggravate her! Anyway, they call him little Timmy Turner. If you have kids, you probably know who that is. We haven't had a baby around here in 8 years....that's how old Erynn is and she is my youngest grandchild...until March. He will be the first grandchild on the other side, so I'm sure the poor little thing won't get any attention!! We can't wait to see him! Here is a preview.....

Update

Ok, I'm tired of my previous post's headline, so I am quickly going to post an update. I will be back with more later.

• My bad day that turned into a month finally ended, so I'm moving on. But I must say that during that time, at one point, I had an old refridgerator in the driveway, a new toilet in the kitchen and a new stove on the porch...talk about hick city!! Most of those items are where they belong now.
• Erick and Erynn played in the super bowl Sunday on the Bobcats team. They lost but did really well.
• My nephew Jarod plays for the Wellington Rockets and we went and watched him play Friday night. They are undefeated and are the first undefeated team since 1991. We are going to watch their playoff game Friday in Amarillo.
• I took my counselor's certification test on Sat. at WT. I should have taken it long ago, but I kept putting it off. I think I did ok. There were some hard questions, but I feel good about it.
• Tony has been wanting a 4-wheel atv for about 2 years. He has looked and looked and he finally decided to buy one. It's a Polaris Ranger and it seats 6 people! It's camoflauge and it's huge! I'll have pictures later. I guess he deserves it.
• My daughter Lynsi is Dr. Carter's nurse and was just recently selected for Employee of the Month. She really likes the clinic and I think everyone likes her. She is fun to be around and is always in a positive mood.
