1985 I was 8 years old and these were my bestest buds, Amy and Brooke Aday. My brothers and I lived on a street called Nail Parkway in Moore OK. My grandma Gay was raising us at this particular time . Living with her is definitely the most treasured times of my growing up. Even though she was tired and worn out, she took us three kids on when my Dad was in one of his many low points and she loved us like crazy and we drove her crazy, especially my brother Mark... He was so ornery to her.. She was and still is my favorite person. Even at my age now I can still curl up to her on the couch and have her scratch my back or run her fingers in my hair.. She is peaceful and funny. Her love is unconditional, forgiving, and understanding. I miss her .......... and so were getting into the car tomorrow morning and heading to Oklahoma to see her!! And I'm going to also see Amy and Brooke, who I have not seen since the summer of 1985. I just got into contact last month on Facebook.. They told me that had been looking for me for years and years but pinning down a Melissa Smith is rather difficult.. SOoo this will be a really fun trip. We used to make snow cones with the Snoopy Sno Cone maker. We would reenact the Grease movies. We made bird nests and mud pies. We would put quarters on train tracks together. We even made our own potpourri on one of those electric heaters that runs along the wall in my bedroom. We even made sour grass stew with those weeds with tiny little yellow flowers. The three of us walked to school together and were together two different times when a car pulled up and tried to get us to get into the car... I am sure Saturday night when we get to together we are going to have a lot to talk about and a lot to catch up on and I'm cant wait!! I will be sure to get a pic posted here to compare to this one..Thursday, March 10, 2011

Three
Happy Birthday Jackson Wayne!! You are more than a handful little man but we love you dearly.
Some things you are doing right now. You are singing a lot. You like to sing ABC's and Little Teapot, Where is Thumbkin (but you say pumpkin). You also have some pretty mean dance moves as well. You can say your whole name now and are very interested in cutting, gluing and taping stuff. You are almost completely potty trained...just an accident here and there. You love your B's(blankies) very much which is to be expected being a child of mine. But you are very particular about the way you have to have yours.. You have to find the corner and then tuck it under your neck and of course you gotta have the choc milk.. We are currently buying 3 gallons each time we grocery shop. You are still getting up in the middle of night and sneaking into bed with us which has got to stop JW! Your a little clown and ornery as ever, but wouldn't want it any other way...Happy Birthday my baby boy Mommy loves you xoxoxo
