It has been a wild and crazy week in Tulsa - weather wise! Rain and wind has been unbelievable. I am amazed at how great the flowers and shrubs are doing. I have lost a few limbs out of trees but nothing major. Thank goodness I had the trees all trimmed recently.
This hydrangea in the front yard is in full bloom. I'm always amazed at the coloring on this one. The other 3-4 I have show no signs of blooms yet.
Aahhhh! The beautiful peonies have come and gone.
Mother's Day was great. Good phone visit and card from son. Tiffany had a graduation to go to out of town, so I ask her if she wouldn't just bring the girls over for the afternoon. She agreed the long drawn out graduation ceremony was not conducive to little ones.
How can you not have fun with these three?
Laynee serenaded us.
The girls got awful quiet in the playroom and I went to see what was going on. When it gets really quiet, you know there is something happening with three little ones.
They were playing dress up and guess who got crammed in one of their play tutus?
Poor Bella. It didn't take her long for me to help her get out of that.
Laynee graduated from Kindergarten this week. SOB! They had a program on Tuesday and today was their last day of school.
She was blessed with two great teachers this year. This is Ms. Manley who took over at semester break for her other teacher, Mrs. Fondren, who...
had this precious little one. She came back for the children's program.
Last week was our precious Landen's birthday. He would have been 13. Can't believe he's been gone that long. I know he is lighting up Heaven with that smile.
For you that have asked, Bella's arthritis is doing really well. The meds she takes twice a day (and loves - believe it or not) are really doing the trick.
So, just an inkling of what my past week has been like. The weeks just fly by so fast.
Have a great week and enjoy life.

You're so lucky to have all those sweet little girls to spend time with so often. My 2 granddaughters live so far away I'm lucky to see them once a year. It's so sad for me. I love your unusual hydrangea! I need one! LOL! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteYes Teresa, I am very blessed to have those precious little ones with me daily. One day a week we find a new park to try out and one night a week we go to McDonalds with a playground. They keep me young (kinda). LOL
DeleteJudy
You are really bless to have those beautiful little girls. I bet they really enjoy going to your house and isn't wonderful to be so close. My Kelly is 500 miles away and only get to see her about 2 to 3 times a year.
ReplyDeleteHope you haven't been getting any of those tornadoes. How old is Bella?
So glad she is doing well on meds.
Have a wonderful week,
Mary
Yes, those three little ones are such a blessing to me on a daily basis. I get to go on their field trips from Day Care and see them daily when I pick them up. They are so much fun and so much work. But, the older they get, the easier it is.
DeleteBella is 9-10 years old. We don't know for sure. She was a shelter dog. She's doing great.
We're having horrible storms today with threats of tornados. Hope they stay away.
Judy
Those girls are precious, Judy...their smiles light up their faces! I know you love your time with them.
ReplyDeleteJane x
They certainly are a blessing Jane. They really keep me occupied! LOL
DeleteHave a great weekend,
Judy
Lovely blooms, sweet grand-daughters, a wonderful dog who will play dress up.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend ~ FlowerLady
Thanks! I don't know how happy was about the whole tutu thing. She sure was glad to get out of it. She plays really well with the girls.
DeleteHave a great weekend.
Judy
The girls are so lovely, Judy. Love to Landen - he is with you always.
ReplyDeletexo
Thanks Claudia. They certainly keep me busy. It just seems so strange that Landen would be teenager. I'm sure he's keeping Poppy busy up there in Heaven. They were great buddies.
DeleteHave a good and safe weekend. Our weather here is horrible with threats of high winds and possible tornadoes,
Judy
I nearly spit up my coffee when I saw Bella in that Tutu! How sweet :).
ReplyDeleteIt must be so very hard to lose a grandchild. I'm sure it leaves a hole in one's heart, but your adorable granddaughters must bring you joy and you're fortunate to have them so close to you. It's what life is all about.

Thanks Doreen. I couldn't help but pull out the camera before I pulled her out of that tutu! She was not a happy camper but never growled or anything. She loves those girls.
DeleteIt was really hard losing Landen but he made such an impact on so many lives in his short four years. Hard to believe he'd be a teenager.
Have a great weekend.
Judy
Judy-Those girls are absolutely adorable! Just darling and so much fun at those ages. Our kids used to dress up our CAT! Imagine THAT! lol
ReplyDeleteSomewhere along the way, I missed that you had lost Landen. I am assuming he is your grandson? I say IS rather than WAS because they are always with us in our hearts. Our little Annabella would be 12 this July. Heartbreaking to even think about, isn't it? Just think- John is there with him-hope they are behaving themselves!
God bless you- have a good weekend- xo Diana
kThanks for dropping by Diana. You never know what those three girls are up to.
DeleteLanden was diagnosed with cancer at 3 years old. He survived many chemos, cell transplants and surgeries and never complained about anything. He was a real trooper and made it 18 months. I know he is up there having a ball with his Poppy. They were really good buddies.
Sorry about your Annabella. But, like you said, they are always with us.
Have a good weekend.
Judy
Such sweet and happy smiles on those grands of yours, Judy!
ReplyDeleteIt's been very windy and rainy and cool here today, so NOT like May weather for the island! Glad your pretties are doing well in spite of the nasty winds.
Have a lovely weekend,
Poppy
Thanks Poppy. Our weather has and still is terrible. Right now it is thundering so loud the house just shakes.
DeleteHave a great weekend and thanks for dropping by.
Judy
What a unique hydrangea and you have a peony in bloom too! Mine are at the bud stage and I am so looking forward to their blooms. Sweet little ones, hugs.
ReplyDeleteJoy
We had a week of violent winds and rain and it totally destroyed all of the peonies and buds. SOB. Have a great week.
DeleteJudy
I love seeing the children and learning that your Mother's Day was so good and so happy. Mine was as well. Seeing Bella in that tutu cracked me up but I bet Bella had other thoughts!
ReplyDeleteYes, those three little ones keep me very happy. Bella was not amused as I was.
DeleteThanks for dropping by and have a great week.
Judy
Your flowers are beautiful. I would like to plant more bulbs this fall. You are blessed to have your grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren and great grandchildren make up most of my life right now. They are a delight.
DeleteThanks for visiting and have a great week.
Judy
The weather here in northern IL has been crazy, too. A few days ago it was hot and humid, then it was crazy-windy where my patio furniture blew over...and now the past two days it's been cold (high 30's - low 40's) and rainy!
ReplyDeleteThe girls are so cute...that's a precious picture of the three of them. Too funny how they got Bella all dressed up. Hard to believe Landen would be a teenager now. {{hugs}}
Thanks for dropping by Melanie. Our weather has been so crazy. I don't think I have ever heard thunder and lightning as strong as it has been the last few days. Even upset Bella and usually the weather doesn't phase her.
DeleteHave a great week.
Judy
Your flowers look so pretty. That picture of the girls is precious. What a great picture. Little Bella is such a good little trooper to let the girls dress her up. Wow to think Landen would be a teen now! I bet he is lighting up Heaven with that smile. Happy Weekend.
ReplyDeleteKris
Thanks Kris. Been thinking about you and your move lately. Will be glad to get into your cottage soon I know. Think of how much fun you'll have that month waiting to get all the stuff done with those precious little ones.
DeleteI can't help but think of all the fun Landen and John are having together. They were really good buddies.
Have a great week.
Judy
Oh girl, Bella is TUTU cute:) Flowers are gorgeous! Makes me wanna get outside and take pictures! Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThanks Theresa. Bella was not a happy camper in her tutu. But, she was literally crammed into it. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteJudy
Your little grand girls just get prettier every time we get to see them. It is such fun to see what beautiful flowers are blooming in your new garden. Bella is a much loved patient gal.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the picture of Landen. I know personally how difficult that loss is.
Thanks for dropping by Tricia and the kind words. Only someone who has lost a precious child can understand the loss in your heart. So sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
Judy
Such adorable photos! Isn't that true about quiet! So sorry about your grandson. xoxo Su
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
