| We welcome Luke Evan Hendren to our family this morning at 7:57 A.M. Luke weighed 8lbs 14 ozs and was 20 1/2 inches long. His parents are, my niece, Karia and her husband Matt Hendren. Today is Matt's Birthday and what a Birthday he got! |
 |
| Luke has an older brother, William, who is 15 months old and a older sister Nicole, 8 years old. Nicole told me this morning it was a good thing Luke was a boy because she didn't plan on sharing her room... |
 |
| Dad's sister, Lillie Gladys Hopper Treat with her husband, Percy. This was taken about 1984. Lillie was one of my favorite Aunts. She was always laughing and fun to be around. She was twin to my Uncle Bill, they were the second set of twins my Grandparent's, James and Mollie Hopper had. |
 |
| Hopper Twins: My Grandparents had two sets of twins, Eiffel and Ethel then five years later they had Lillie and Bill. The twin boys in this picture is the grandson's of Lillie. |
 |
| Dad's cousin and daughter of Sarah Jane Hopper Davis. These beautiful pictures were sent to me by JoAnn who is the great great grand daughter of Sarah Jane. She found me on Ancestry.com and emailed me. We have been exchanging information and pictures ever since. I didn't have much on Sarah Jane's family until JoAnn contacted me. I am so thankful for her and all she shared with me. Since I printed out this page I have found out that Nancy's middle name was Lou, not Leo. Leo was a nick name. |
 |
| Happy Anniversary to my brother, Jim and his wife Gloria, yesterday. I know I'm a day late but I still want to send love and best wishes to you both. |
 |
| Happy Birthday to our grandson, Jarrod. Hope you have a great day and wish we were in California to celebrate it with you! |
 |
| Today is my grandson Justin's 22nd birthday. |
 |
| Thank GOD, he is home and safe on this birthday. Last year on his 21st birthday he was in Afghanistan. Again, thank you GOD that he is home and safe!..... |
 |
| This is his birthday gift to his self! It just came in the mail and I think he is very happy with it, dont' you? |
 |
| This is what it looks like going in my back door today! My poor daffodils! They are covered with about two inches of snow |
 |
| and boy is it cold out there! I am so glad I don't have to get up and drive to work in this! I did have to go out about ten this morning to go to the Dentist. I only live about three blocks from him so I didn't feel right about calling and canceling. Know what I mean? |
 |
| Going out my back door the first week of February this is what I saw! What's the deal? These should not be here until the end of March... |
 |
| Wish my Morning Glory's would do the same!!! |
 |
| We have been at the hospital most of this week. Monday they did a chemical stress test on Suzie which took most of the day. Made her so sick and what a headache it gave her. I felt so bad for her. Didn't hear anything on that until the next day and was told there where shadows on the heart. |
 |
| Wednesday they ran a Angiogram and found 30% blockage on the right side and the vessels on the left were very very tiny. Tiny because of smoking, they will not go back to regular size but will continue to get smaller and smaller if she continues to smoke. |
 |
| Her Doctor and the staff at the Hospital were GREAT! They were so good to her, took great care of her. |
 |
| Her little buddies sent her cards and the girls that work for her came to see her and sent flowers. |
 |
| She is one of those people that get up in the night and have to eat, so the nurse would bring her a late night snack. She got to come home late Wednesday night and has to (HAS TO) stop smoking, change eating habits and walk, walk, walk. She has had only four cigs since Sunday and for her that is doing good. It's going to be so hard but her husband and her son both are going to try to stop smoking with her. That may help a little... |
 |
| My daughter, Suzie is in the hospital today and they think she has had a silent heart attack. I never heard of a silent heart attack! It may be silent but it is also scary! They are going to do a stress test in the morning. She said she is feeling a little better but she is tired, hungry and ready for some more meds. |
 |
| My daughter and Sammy Swindell |
 |
| My daughter, Suzie and my grandson, Josh went to the Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Oklahoma again the year. They go and spend the week-end with Suzie's dad and take in the Chili Bowl and of course I have to snag a few of their pictures. |
 |
| Nice day out with Senior lunch at the Cherokee Casino Buffet and then... |
 |
| Nice Senior movie time after lunch watching Joyful Noise which was a good cute movie!!!!!! |
 |
| Sam Cat found us when she was about 3 months old. As you can see she took very good care of Joshua. She was a very very sweet girl and a great friend. Josh and his mom had to put Sam to sleep today. Josh is now 19 so Sam was 16/17 years old. |
 |
| Sam Cat One....She is Sam Cat One because Josh found another little kitten at our house when he was about eleven and said we have to keep him because he looks just like Sam. So now we have Sam Cat Two. We will miss you sweet baby girl! |
 |
| Slow cooked ribs and blackeyed peas... May you have good luck in this coming New Year. HAPPY NEW YEAR! |
 |
| My husband tried his hand at making a Blackberry Cobbler for Josh since that is his very favorite thing to eat. Hubby wrapped it up and gave it to Josh on Christmas (with all his other presents) and sent it home with him. We ask him later how it was and if it was good. Josh got this funny look on his face and said mmmm I'm not sure. I put it in the fridge and forgot about it. Think I'm going over there with some ice cream and help myself! |
 |
| Great Grandson, Keeyan |
 |
| Our beartiful Grand Daughter, Katy |
 |
| Little William got the hang of things real fast! Hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas! |
 |
| Josh in his "Kiss Santa" hat |
 |
| I think the "Kiss Santa" hat works.... |
 |
| Josh and the "RazorBack Snuggie" that he gave his Mom for Christmas. A couple days before, he ask her if she liked them and she said "no way"! I had one and hated it so I sold it at our garage sale. Well she decided she liked this one! |
 |
| Today is William's first birthday. He is one of the prettiest babies I have seen in a long time. William is my sister's grandson and is so sweet and again so pretty. Happy Birthday William! |
 |
| I found some more picture of my dad's aunt Sarah's family. I don't know what it is that makes me love genealogy but I do! I could and do stay on the genealogy sites most of the day and just have a jolly good time all by myself. I have seven notebooks full of family pictures and facts on the Hopper's and three on the Moore's. One notebook is full of Civil War records on my G Grandfather Moore. My aunt, Ann Moore Gulick, sent off for the records and we sure found a wealth of information. Even found letters my G Grandmother had written about getting his pension and more letters written by my Grandfather when my G Grandmother had died. You just never know what you are going to find. The best thing of all is finding cousins I never knew I had and becoming friends and even getting to meet a few of them! |
