BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!

I'm FINALLY getting back to my blog, after NOT writing anything for almost 4 months! I have spent as much time as possible with my new grand-daughters, Hailey Dawn McFadden & Brooke Emma McFadden. They were born on Tuesday ~ August 18, 2009 @ Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks, CA. Hailey was born @ 1:30 p.m. and weighed 4 lbs. 9 oz. & Brooke was born @ 1:32 p.m. and weighed 5 lbs. 2 oz. They spent about 1 hour in the N.I.C.U. (new-born intensive care unit) and then after getting fed, weighed, measured, & all cleaned up, they got to go into Jens' room & everyone got to visit with them & hold them and take TONS of pictures of them. To say that it was an AMAZING experience is putting it MILDLY!! I felt so much joy and love for them, the 1st time seeing them and holding them, and it has continued to grow more every day ~ I absolutely ADORE them and cherish every minute I am with them, and I enjoy every little thing that they do...I could sit & hold them and do NOTHING else...all day & night!! They are such a JOY in my life & I can't imagine life without them, even though they're only 3 1/2 months old, it feels like I've known them & loved them forever!! I'm so grateful that our Heavenly Father has allowed these 2 PRECIOUS girls to be born into our family!! Jen and Shaun are AMAZING parents ~ they are a WONDERFUL mommy & daddy for Hailey and Brooke...what a SWEET family!! I have tons of pictures on my facebook page, so please look at that for their CUTE photos. I LOVE BEING A GRANDMA!!

yes, toy story was way fun! we rented it and thought we'd eventually buy it, but we beat the game in two days, so we saved $50! lol. next ones i'd like to try are mariokart and the new mariobros game.
