Desirea, Karlee and Adisyn

2009-05-24T08:14:00.007-05:00

Three of my granddaughters were here yesterday. One is very snaggle toothed, and I am just going to leave ya'll guessing as to which one!!! I had to get a picture of snaggle tooth, but then the other two wanted in on the picture taking.

My car

2009-05-24T08:11:00.003-05:00

Steve wrecked MY car!!!! I am so thankful he wasn't hurt. God surronded him with angels and protected him. He was going down the interstate and hydroplaned at 70 miles an hour. He did about 3, 360's and hit the concrete midian with the back of MY car. MY car can be fixed.

Tallen

2009-05-24T08:06:00.005-05:00

I got to babysit Tallen and Kiara last weekend. Kiara was very camera shy and wouldn't let me get a picture of her, but old chunky monkey was full of smiles. This big guy is 27 lbs and 31 inches tall. The pediatrician says he is above average for a 1 year old. He will not be 1 until June the 16th!!!

Rachel, Paul, Alyssa & Amiah

2009-05-06T09:57:00.004-05:00

Rachel sent me these pictures via e-mail. She named the e-mail, "The cute one and her angels." I am just a little confused over this caption, because my picture is not included! Go figure!

Wesley & family

2009-04-16T07:48:00.002-05:00

This is a family picture of Wesley and his family. Wesley had surgery on his shoulder the 6th of April. Doctor said it was a lot worse than he originally thought.

Karlee's birthday party

2009-04-16T07:44:00.007-05:00

Here is Clay's son Caleb. He will be 7 in September.

Monty Geurian Memory Ride

2009-04-07T07:01:00.008-05:00

This is a coworker of Steve's who was killed in a motorcycle accident in November of 2008. A group of us got together and had a deer chili lunch, then rode to where the accident happened, and then went to his family's house to present them with the patches we had made. Each one of the group also has a patch.

Desirae

2009-04-07T06:57:00.001-05:00

Here is my oldest granddaughter and her building block skills. Isn't she good?

2009-03-20T21:29:00.003-05:00

From December to now.....46lbs!!!!!!!!!! woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!

2009-03-20T21:18:00.005-05:00

Tallen got to spend the night with me tonight. He is 9 months old and weighs 27 lbs.

Weenie Roast

2009-02-16T20:08:00.009-06:00

Karlee and Austin are out of school this week for their winter break, so of course they wanted to stay with Meme and Poppy. Poppy decided to have a weenie roast with them so here are some pictures. The kids were really excited about this. They have a really good Poppy.

2009-02-15T16:54:00.006-06:00

Kristen & Adisyn

2009-02-15T16:51:00.004-06:00

The picture of Kristen was taken May 17, 1984 just before her 3rd birthday. Kristen's eyes do not show up as well in the scanned picture, but they both have those beautiful blue eyes.

Funny Faces!!!

2009-02-15T16:48:00.003-06:00

Of course, when I get out the camera, they are all clamoring for me to take their pictures. These are just a couple of the funny faces. They holler Meme look and I snap!!!

Poppy and his Weasel

2009-02-15T16:45:00.002-06:00

Steve has called Karlee his Weasel since the day she was born. When she was in Pre K and they were learning there letters, she had to take something that started with that letter. Well, when it came to the W, she took a picture of her dad, because his name is Wes. When she came home that afternoon and Kristen and her kids were eating supper with us, we began to discuss the letter W. Poppy told Karlee that weasel started with a W. She turned and looked at her Poppy real funny and said no it doesn't, my name starts with a K.

Part 2 of the weekend

2009-02-15T16:41:00.005-06:00

This is all the mean eyes my grandkids gave me. This came up because I got on to Adisyn for something and she gave me her mean eyes. She really cooperated well showing me them again. Well, of course the other two had to show me theirs and I had to get their pictures.

Weekend with Karlee, Austin & Adisyn

2009-02-15T16:35:00.007-06:00

My grandkids are all so different as you can see. Austin just being his very handsome self, Karlee was hunting for me and killed a turkey, some squirrels and a deer. She also cooked the turkey on a smoker, made squirrel soup and then a deer roast, Adisyn being sophiscated like her Meme.

"Deer Slayer"

2009-01-14T09:27:00.006-06:00

Look at what my Daddy's done now. Can you believe at his age, he finally started killing deer! The only thing, he just needs to change the weapon he uses.

Meme and her "Chunky Monkey"

2009-01-04T00:49:00.006-06:00

Tallen is wearing a 24 month sleeper! He is just 6 1/2 months old. He and Adisyn are wearing the same size and she is 2!!!!!

Poppy and his "Hoss"

2009-01-04T00:48:00.004-06:00

This big boy, Poppy has nicknamed Hoss. I do believe this suits him!!!

Christmas

2009-01-04T00:39:00.010-06:00

Oh the joys of Christmas! It is wonderful watching my grandchildren open presents. Here are just a few that I would like to share. Dillin couldn't be with us. He had to work. We were not able to have Christmas until the 28th, because Daddy was in the hospital.

2008-12-21T01:32:00.005-06:00

Merry Christmas to all. I love you and wish you a wonderful day with family. May God richly bless you.

Love you bunches,
Jill, Aunt Jill, Meme, Mom, Mommie, Ding bat head and any other name you can think to call me!!!!!

Kristen & Family Christmas Pictures

2008-12-21T01:26:00.008-06:00

Okay, just so you will know all their names. Rusty, Kristen, Dillin, Desirae, Karlee, Austin & Adisyn. I now have seven grandchildren instead of 5. Man, my family has really expanded. I know there are several of Adisyn, but this is the first time she has ever had a professional picture taken. She is the only one who had an individual picture done. She is so cute and all of her pictures were so cute, I just couldn't decide which one to use, so I put them all here!!

Newest members of my English Bulldogs

2008-12-21T01:19:00.005-06:00

The little girl standing is one of Dixie's puppies. Her name is JT's Melanie Wilkes and I will call her "Mellie". Isn't she cute? She was born on the 8th of November.

The little girl lying down is one of Lia's puppies. She was born on the 25th of November. Her name is Oh Susannah and I am going to call her "Susie".

Steve's Deer Season

2008-12-21T01:12:00.003-06:00

Steve has had a good year this year. He killed a 7 pt in Illinois with a bow, a 6 pt and a doe with his rifle here at home. Some of you will like these pictures. I forgot the picture of his doe is on his phone.

Last day of vacation continued

2008-11-29T08:47:00.006-06:00

I continued on to Southaven, MS to visit my beautiful nieces. Unfortunately, I had to cut my visit short and didn't get to see my nephews. These are my sister's beautiful children and grandchildren who I love dearly. I haven't seen them in over a year and it had been some time since I had gotten to just sit and visit. My sister is so truly blessed with children who love her and stand beside her in all things. I love all these beautiful girls as if they were my own. My sister, Judy and I have a beautiful relationship. We are not just sisters, we are best friends. If I do nothing else, I have made myself this promise, to do my best and not let so much time pass before I can do this again. Life is just to short to be away for those you love.

Last day of my vacation

2008-11-29T08:36:00.007-06:00

As I was traveling back to Oklahoma, I decided to make a quick stop in Covington, TN to see aunts, uncles, and cousins that I haven't seen in approximately 10 years. I went to my Aunt Nette's house and my cousin, Nancy, fixed a big pot of Taco Soup. Boy was that yummy. Aunt Nette had a cherry cheese cake for dessert. As you can tell, I sure needed all of that. It was such a wonderful visit. I got to see Uncle Coy and Uncle Haskin. My cousins Paul, Allan, Nancy, Kate, Ella & Lucy. Precious sweet Kate, wanted a picture with her Aunt Jill. She is such a beautiful woman. I read her blog and she inspires me with her words. She writes so beautifully and I hope someday she will write us a book. Kate, you have a beautiful heart. Paul and Nancy, you have raised a most wonderful daughter. Ya'll are truly blessed.

What a wonderful vacation!!

2008-11-29T08:31:00.002-06:00

Wow, I finally got to leave my home and actually travel somewhere and guess what I did it all by myself!!! I first traveled to Clarksville, TN to see my beautiful, wonderful, sweet sister. I just love her so much. It had been two years since we had been able to be with one another. I left on a Friday morning and didn't leave until Tuesday coming back home. Believe me, I sure could have stayed longer. Thanks sis, for making me feel so at home. Oh yea, thanks to Mike, for putting up with all those days. I love him lots, too. He's my favorite brother-in-law.

2008-11-06T12:52:00.000-06:00

Adisyn, up to her usual shenanigans. We are so thankful it wasn't permanent marker!

2008-11-06T12:43:00.002-06:00

My grandchildren relaxing at my house. Wonder why each one is with dog?????

2008-11-06T11:22:00.003-06:00

Well, I know I haven't updated my blog for awhile, but as in the life of Jill, it's always something! First, my computer crashed and I lost all my pictures, then my internet was down for over a week due to a malfunction in the wiring. It took the people forever to find the problem. Needless to say, I was about to come unglued!!! I know ya'll can't imagine that happening to me.

Judy, this one's for you!!!

2008-09-28T21:37:00.002-05:00

I was at a friends house Saturday night and this was out on her porch. Steve got a really good picture.

A new puppy

2008-09-28T21:32:00.003-05:00

Hey, Kristen' s English Bulldog Belle had puppies on the 13th of September and I got to get one. I named her Memphis Tiger Lily. Ain't that cute????

Ya'll make sure you check out my kennel website also. I have changed it alot and I have bought some new puppies. I bought a male English Bulldog and named him Rhett Butler. I also purchased two poodles. One is a red miniature named Frederick Flame, we call him Freddy. The other one is a cream Standard Poodle and is name is Ollie Bobba. Of course we call him Ollie!! Well that will be all for now. Oops, sorry, I have one more for Judy.

2008-09-28T21:30:00.002-05:00

To me this is such a beautiful image of the innocence of a baby. Holding on to the hand they know will take care of them. This is Adisyn holding on to her Poppy's hand. This just really touched my heart.

2008-09-28T21:27:00.003-05:00

This chunky monkey is not fat he is just big. He is drinking an 8 ounce bottle at each feeding with cereal in each one. I don't know how much formula they go through, but all he does is eat, sleep and poop!!!!

2008-09-28T21:24:00.002-05:00

Sure don't get to see enough of this big chunk, but when I do, I sure like to take pictures. He weighs almost as much as Adisyn at 3 months old. He weighs 16 lbs and Addie weighs 20!

2008-09-28T21:19:00.002-05:00

Just look at that smile. Is she not the most beautiful child you have ever seen? If the smile doesn't get you those eyes surely do.

2008-09-28T21:12:00.002-05:00

TWO PEAS IN A POD!!!! Can't you just see the mischief in their eyes. What one doesn't think of the other one does. You really have to watch these two. My carport is painted three different colors because of these two. I have the regular orangey color, kilz & some red, but I decided my carport has real character now so I am not going to change it.

2008-09-28T21:07:00.002-05:00

Here is Adisyn getting all dressed up. I am not going to tell who helped. What is really funny is Meme was getting all dressed up also. I wasn't quite finished getting dressed and it showed in the mirror!!!! I had to really crop this picture good!!!!

2008-09-28T20:53:00.003-05:00

I have a few monkeys also!

Cowgirl Addie Mac

2008-09-28T20:49:00.001-05:00

If her brother and sister do something Adisyn has to do it too!!!!

2008-09-28T20:45:00.002-05:00

Now isn't this amazing, Karlee has learned how to lead her horse and she is leading him with Austin on him. Pilgrim has been broke but is only 3 years old. He is really a sweet horse.

My Cowboy

2008-09-28T20:42:00.001-05:00

My Cowgirl

2008-09-28T20:39:00.002-05:00

This is Karlee's horse Pilgrim.

My Angel!!

2008-09-28T20:34:00.002-05:00

Adisyn loves markers!

2008-09-28T20:30:00.002-05:00

Grandchildren

2008-09-28T20:25:00.002-05:00

It's been awhile since I have posted anything. My computer crashed and I lost all my pictures. I had several cute ones I had wanted to post. Now I wish I had taken the time to do it. Grandchildren are one of God's greatest gifts. The three that live next door are so amazing and I love seeing them everyday. Adisyn keeps me laughing all day, but when it's nap time she just wants Meme to rock her. Oh what a special time! Karlee comes home from school and now has to read me a story everyday. How time flies and my babies are growing up. Austin runs in to give me kisses and then has to run back outside to play. He never wants to stop. So here are a few pictures that have been taken in the last little bit.

I think she should become a model!

2008-08-17T21:52:00.005-05:00

2008-08-17T21:19:00.000-05:00

Tallen-2 months old

2008-08-17T21:12:00.002-05:00

Gee whiz, is this not one big dude. I swanee, all he did was eat the whole day long. I asked how many cans of milk they go through in a day. If he is awake, he's got a bottle in his mouth. I have never in my life seen a baby drink so much milk!!!

Austin

2008-07-28T12:12:00.002-05:00

Austin loves to have his picture taken, so when I was taking pictures of puppies he just had to have me take his picture. You can't take just one picture, you have to take 2 or 3.

Say Cheese!

2008-07-28T12:10:00.001-05:00

Adisyn saying cheese!

Adisyn & Bernadette

2008-07-28T12:06:00.003-05:00

As you can see, Adisyn likes to babysit the puppies. She is rocking Bernadette to sleep. This is one of my Goldendoodles, which is half Golden Retriever & half Poodle. You can look on my kennel website for Prissy & Mister to see the mom & dad. Bernadette got hurt so we brought her in the house to get well. I guess by this picture you can see she is getting better.

Rachel & girls

2008-07-28T12:00:00.004-05:00

Rachel came out for a couple of days this week to help Kristen & Steve with the kennels and my house. Steve's brother, Jody, was coming to stay the weekend and I couldn't get around so her comes Rachel. Rachel, thank you very much.

The Wesley Stephen Thomas Family

2008-07-28T11:12:00.003-05:00

Wow, just look at my handsome son & his family. He ain't worth killin', but I guess I will still claim him as mine.

Just like her Mama!!!!

2008-07-28T11:08:00.002-05:00

Well, it's finally official. Adisyn is just like her mama. She has a phone stuck to her ear!!!!

My little baby boy

2008-07-28T11:05:00.002-05:00

Look at how my new baby boy has grown. Isn't he a handsome little devil?

How you recover from knee replacement surgery!!!!

2008-07-28T11:02:00.002-05:00

I know not many people can say that they have recovered from knee replacement surgery like me. I don't know what it is, but for some reason Adisyn was just a smidgen jealous of Tallen. She had to be in my lap too.

2008-07-10T16:58:00.006-05:00

My little ballplayer. This was the final game of the year and it was the championship game. My angel's team, Pixie Stix, didn't win the tournament, but she's still a winner to me.

OOPS!!!

2008-06-19T23:49:00.002-05:00

As you can see, Adisyn decided to make some mud pies or maybe a better statement is Adisyn became a mudpie!! She was having a grand time as you can see. She even took her crock off(notice the one bare foot) and poured some over her head!

"Mr. Big Stuff"

2008-06-17T20:52:00.002-05:00

Well, I have nicknames for all my grandbabies.

Karlee is Angel

Austin is Meme's boy

Kiara is my Princess

Adisyn is my Sweetie Petey

Tallen is my little Chunk

2008-06-17T20:49:00.001-05:00

I just have to say, he does have eyes like his daddy.

Kiara & Tallen

2008-06-17T20:46:00.002-05:00

Just look at this Kiara, can't ya'll tell she is going to be one good big sister. You should have heard her talking to him. It was so sweet.

Ya'll just tell me, does this look like a proud Poppy?

2008-06-17T20:43:00.002-05:00

"Tallen Stephen Thomas"

2008-06-16T19:23:00.002-05:00

Look at our new "little" grandson. We still haven't gotten to hold him. He is having some problems with his O2 sats. He is having to be on oxygen. We are hoping to get to hold him tomorrow. These pictures were taken before he was even given his first bath. So ya'll tell me who he looks like. Kristen says he looks like Wesley.

Big sister Kiara

2008-06-16T19:21:00.003-05:00

Look at my sweet little Princess. Meme & Poppy just had to bring her something special today since she was having a new "little" brother.

Wesley, Crystal & Kiara on baby day

2008-06-16T19:16:00.003-05:00

Look at this sweet family going in to bring our precious "little" Tallen into the world.

CHAMPION

2008-06-04T17:51:00.002-05:00

Look at my little t-ball champion. This ballplayer, played in an elimination tournament, which lasted from 11am until 11:30pm and as you can see her team won!!!!! Of course, as the "meme", I wasn't surprised at all.

"PENNY"

2008-05-27T19:56:00.002-05:00

Here is mother and daddy's new little girl. They wanted me to put her on here so ya'll could see her. Please let them know how pretty she is. They seem to be pretty tickled with her.

2008-05-21T19:51:00.001-05:00

And Adisyn just liked playing in the rocks!

2008-05-21T19:49:00.003-05:00

Austin thought these airplanes were neat and they really went fast. His favorite word for the day was, "Whoa!"

2008-05-21T19:47:00.002-05:00

Here are 5 of the 6 Thunderbirds that were flying. You talking about noise, well these dudes make some noise.

2008-05-21T19:44:00.004-05:00

Our entire family went to the airshow Sunday. The Thunderbirds were there and Steve got some pretty cool shots of them. This one looked liked it was floating in the air.

2008-05-16T23:15:00.002-05:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOPE YOU HAVE A MOST WONDERFUL DAY.
LOVE YOU LOTS
YOUR FAVORITE AUNT!!!!!!!!

Angie, sorry I didn't have this done on your birthday. You were luckier because you actually got to hear me sing to you.
Love you
Aunt Jill

2008-05-16T23:09:00.001-05:00

Look at my sweet little Adisyn and the beautiful dress she is wearing. This is a pretty special dress, because it was Karlee's first Easter dress.

2008-05-13T20:32:00.000-05:00

Wow, what a beauty. This is a pregraduation picture

2008-05-13T20:30:00.000-05:00

Well, I guess no one can guess who these people are.

Mutt, Jeff & the angel

2008-05-13T20:26:00.001-05:00

Kristen, Wes & Karlee. We were all proud that Wes came to see his daughter graduate. It made Karlee really happy also.

2008-05-13T20:22:00.001-05:00

Ain't she beautiful?

2008-05-13T20:19:00.000-05:00

Karlee with her principal, Mr. Rainwater.

Karlee's Kindergarten Graduation

2008-05-13T20:15:00.003-05:00

Oh my goodness, my angel, graduated from Kindergarten tonight. Look how grown up she looks. I couldn't help it, but I cried. Each child got to tell what they wanted to be when they grew up. Karlee wants to be a veterinarian. Donations will be appreciated!!!!!!

Austin's end of the year party

2008-05-13T20:11:00.002-05:00

Now Austin didn't have a water slide, he just had three different blow up slides to choose from. He wasn't to hip on waiting in line so he did bubbles most of the day. He did slide a few times.

Karlee's End of the School Year Party

2008-05-13T20:06:00.002-05:00

Look at my angel slide. They had a water slide for the end of the year party.

Karlee's Birthday Party

2008-05-10T18:26:00.002-05:00

Here are Austin & Kiara skating together at Karlee's party. Austin & Kiara are inseperable when they are together.

2008-05-10T17:32:00.002-05:00

This is my Baby Bear. It seems really strange sometimes, but he reminds me alot of Chingo. He does things that are so much like Ching. I feel like Ching may be watching out for me.

2008-05-03T23:52:00.002-05:00

This is our daugther Kristen, with her 3 children, Karlee, Austin & Adisyn. Also included are Rusty, Dillin & Desirae. Rusty & Kristen have been together for almost a year now. I sure am glad the swing didn't break!!!!

2008-05-03T23:47:00.002-05:00

This is our son, Wesley with our beautiful daughter in law, Crystal. She will be having our 5th grandchild on June 12th. He will be our second grandson. My littlest angel, Kiara, is their little girl.

All my grandchildren(until June anyway)

2008-05-03T23:35:00.002-05:00

Of course I guess everyone knows this was Easter. You should have seen these kids running after the eggs. All except Adisyn and once she got one, she didn't care about anymore! Starting at left is Adisyn, Austin, Kiara & Karlee.
