Little Island Angel

This is a picture of a little girl who lives in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, (Marshall Islands) that Mamaw Renee "adopts" each year at Christmas.

This past week Renee got the big package mailed, as it takes a month or longer to reach there. Renee's brother lives and works on the island of Kwajalin (for the US government) which is part of the Marshall Islands. This little girls grandfather comes by boat from his island over to Kwajalin daily to work as locksmith on the base. They live very poorly with no electricity and very little extra water. Renee's brother told her that each year when this little girls grandfather receives and open the box from Kentucky, he always cries in appreciation. Renee always send gifts for the grandmother and grandfather as well. This little child may not have much all year long, but Christmas time is always very special because of Renee's big heart. Renee sends clothes, toys, cookies, candy, and many other treats. So, my note to Renee is; "I thought this good deed earned a mention on our brag page!"
So There!

America's Next Top Model

I do believe Emery was getting a little tired, but I loved these pics of her. She was modeling some of the hats and bows that her mom makes to sell. Brooke also makes pillow case dresses and tutu's and has plenty of cute things for sale. Of course, I think her beautiful little model is what makes her crafts sell so fast!

Giggy's Birthday 11-2-09

Matthew and Michael and their families came to go out to eat for my birthday. Brooke brought chocolate cake with candles and colorful polka dots(that Emery picked out.) We went for Chinese which I'd been kind of craving. It was really good. Boy oh boy, looking at these pictures ...."I'm OLD"........boo hoo.......

Happy Halloween!

Story books come to life! Here's Snow White (Emery,) Lightening McQueen (Jake,) Batman (Nate,) Ky Wildcat (Jared,) and Little Pumpkins (Sarah and Mason!) All Giggy's little spooks! I don't have a photo of Alexis and Gabriel yet, but if I get one of them in costume, I'll post it soon.

Days Gone By

This photo is my grandmother Etta Warmouth Muncie holding my little sister Lucy Elizabeth and that's me standing along side not wanting my picture taken. I do remember the reason tho, I had chiggers under my arm and that were itching (causing me to be in a bad mood). I'm definitely making an "Emmie" face in this pic!
*Note to my California cousin "Beans", hope you see this photo of your Aunt Etta~

Emery's Newest Trick

I spent most of the day trying to make sure that Emery didn't fall off the couch now that she has discovered that standing on her head must be such fun! She spends most of the day climbing, jumping, (and not listening to me when I tell her "don't do that") Of course she always asks "why?" It don't seem to carry a lot of weight when I tell her "because you might get hurt!" When her Dad came to pick her up after work, she had to show him that she'd learned a new trick! (Standing on her head)

Another Play Day

Jake and Mamaw came over yesterday morning to get Emery. She went home with them for awhile. They were playing so well for a few minutes, then Renee heard Emery saying "No Jake, No!" Jake was saying "Calm down Emmie, calm down!" Renee went to check what they were doing, and Jake had her curling iron,(not plugged in) trying to fix Emery's hair!!! She didn't get a picture of that, but we thought it was funny! Jake then came home with Emery to play for awhile, so they had a good day together.
