Precious #7

As you all know, I have had a crappy few weeks! Today is my first day back babysitting after being sick and having a tooth extracted !  I can’t think of a better way to share how I am feeling today, other than through the attempted words and antics of my little man!  I will post the photo and then narrate as I go!  Just wanted to let you know how this here blog is goin’ down!

On with the narration:

I spilled my morning snack on my shirt, so I took it off! I didn’t want a clean one, and it is warm enough inside that Auntie let me go without one! Speaking of Aunt Lory,  I don’t want her to take photos of me!  So I will run and hide under the coat rack in our mud room, laughing all the way!

I pinched my finger in the hinge on David’s sunglasses that I insist on playing with!  It hurted and I cried!  Aunt Lory kept snapping away at me!  Someday I am going to steal that camera!

I got hugs and kisses from Aunt Lory and a BooBoo Bag and that made it all better!

I did eventually put on the evil sunglasses that pinched my finger!  Don’t I look rad?  I definitely got it goin’ on!

Here is me looking all cute, so you will comment on my current state of blonde curls and overall cuteness!  So, yeah, leave your comments below! ( :

I hope you have a good rest of the week!

Shoe Tree

Yesterday was Thursday, and we all know what that means … shopping day in Cheboygan!  As my dad and I were finishing up our shopping and errands, we were headed out of town and saw this tree!  It is just full of shoes thrown over the branches!

I have seen shoes thrown over an electrical or cable wire over a city streets, but never have I seen anything like this!

I have no idea what this is for, or what it means!  There was no explanation that I could find!  My dad is used to me and a very good sport, so he pulled over and waited while I shot a few photos!  Thanks Dad! ( :

You can also see in this shot, that the snow is almost gone!  WAHOO!!!  There are more piles of it yet to melt in Pellston, but Cheboygan is mostly clear!

Based on the fact that this tree is about 4 or 5 blocks from the highschool, and the style of the shoes in the tree, I am assuming it was done by teenagers!  No matter who put them up there, for whatever reasons, I thought it was rather cool and wanted to share it with you!  If, per chance, you know what this is about, please fill me in! (:

I also got to eat lunch at Your Spirit, Your Place and it was YUMMY!!!  The owner came up to me, even though they were BUSY, and gave me a big hug and thanked me for my blog about her restaurant!  It made me feel so good!  Someone was pleased with my efforts, and that is just the best feeling ever!  Most places they wouldn’t even remember me!  Not Dominique!  She recognized me right away!

SO MUCH HAPPY!!!

HOW WAS YOUR WEEK?

A New Hangout

This silly little girl kitty has now taken to hanging out in my laundry basket!  I had just done my laundry, so there isn’t much in there besides her!  She prefers having a basket full so she has a comfy place to lounge around! (:

Kay had to work today, so I went up and spent the day with my dad!  It was a good time!  We chatted about anything and everything!  We watched Let’s Make A Deal !  We both love that show!  We talked somemore and my dad made dinner!  YUM! I don’t know how I got so lucky, but I have 4 men who will now cook for me!  I love it because I hate cooking!!!  After dinner, we were watching the evening news when Kay called and said that she was ready to be picked up!  Now I am at home watching tv and hanging out on Buzznet!  I also have 2 kitty cats vying for my attention while I type this!  I love all of my girls so much! (:

 

Smoochie

This is our newest addition to our little family!  She is a precious little kitten that Kay named Smoochie!  We have had her 7 weeks now!  She has tripled her size because she eats constantly!  In addition to being precious and cute, she is also a little terror!  She torments our other cat, Robyn, who is getting older and definitely does NOT want to play!  Smoochie just doesn’t understand why!

Tonight I got up out of my bed where I was watching tv, and when I returned, I found that Smoochie had kept my spot warm for me!  Thank you Smoochie!

This is one of my 3 precious nephews!  I take care of them several days each week! James is 5 years old and the middle brother! We were having lunch and I decided it was a good time to get out my camera!  I shot this!  He is such a blessing in our lives!  I couldn’t love him more!

I hope someone is checking out my blogs and taking a peek at my photos!  I would be ever so grateful if you would leave me a comment on any or all of my posts!  Tell me about your nieces and nephews!  If you don’t have any, well tell me about your family in general !   To comment you do have to give an email !  You are not signing up for anything!  You won’t get any spam or advertisements!  It just lets me know who you are!  ‘

Happy 5th Birthday James

Happy Birthday James #5

CANDLE 1 hr ago

My amazing nephew named James Albert had his 5th birthday last week, and you know what that means… BIRTHDAY BLOG TIME!

We had the party on his actual birthday, which was Monday night!  So while James was still at preschool we took to decorating the house for his special event!

Grandma and Kay took to blowing up balloons and putting them on strings!  These children LOVE helium balloons!  Although we were all tempted, none of us sucked in any helium to hear our voices sound squeeky and funny!

David took a break from decorating the guest of honor birthday chair to make duck faces with the crepe paper!  He had us laughing so hard!

Here is the finished product, and I think he did an excellent job!  I didn’t get any shots of Andy or Elaine preparing or decorating because they were both running around fixing things so quickly, that I couldn’t shoot one!  Andy was hard at work on the food and Elaine was tending to everything else!  Grace walked to the Family Dollar down the block to get the few things we still needed, but didn’t have!

At last the birthday boy has arrived and gave his older brother a big birthday hug, while his little brother photo bombed on the side!  I think it is so sweet when they show their affection for each other!  Such wonderful kiddos!  I couldn’t love them more!

Time for the birthday foodz!  The birthday person always gets to choose their birthday meal!  So, we had all of James’ favorites!  We had corn dogs, french fries, and chicken nuggets!  A little  hard on the digestion, but it’s worth it to celebrate with our precious James!

After nomz we moved right into prezzies!  James got some really nice gifts as you will see!  Here he is holding up 5 fingers to show us how old he is now!

What a loot !!!  The spiderman was from Grandma Evie and Cousin Jim!  Kay got him a My Little Pony giant coloring book!  They bond over ponies!  I got him the Nerf blaster!  The card that Elaine is reading is from Papa Gary!  All the amazing Star Wars toys were from Mommy and Daddy!  They are original releases from the 70s and 80s that Andy scoured the internet to find!  James doesn’t know what a lucky little boy he is!  Both he and David LOVE all things Star Wars!

We will end with Grandpa Dave sitting back and taking in the entire scene!  He just loves his crazy kids and grandkids!  I am not supposed to put him on the internet!  However, he has no computer, smart phone, iPad, or any other way to get on the internet, so he will NEVER know! Haha Dad!!! (:

There you have it!  Another wonderful birthday in our precious Keiser/Voison family!  I can assure you fun was had by all !

Thank you for taking time to read through this!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRECIOUS BOY!!!
