Loving 80 Degree Weather!!

No pictures for this blog, but just wanted to let you all know that i am loving life right now in Tuscon visiting Annie. 80 degree weather and you guys have SNOW!!! Ha Ha. We left Enterprise on Thursday at 12:10 AM and drove all night ariving in Tuscon around 10:30 am. We didn't tell Annie we were coming, we just showed up to her work and surprised her. It was AWESOME. My My misses her daddy and Papa. She wakes up everymorning and started yelling for her Daddy. She did get to talk to Papa last night and thought she was pretty cool. But for the bad news of the trip, Papa called me yesterday morning and said that Grandpa Gardner went to heaven. It is such a blessing that he doesn't have to suffer anymore, but we will sure miss him. After I told Carter that he had died, he asked me, "Well Jessie, who came to pick grandpa Gardner up?" I told him Jonny's Mama did and then he says, "Well what did they drive to Heaven?" I started laughing...I thought that was so cute. Kids are so innocent when it comes to things like that. But i better go, I will post pictures of the trip when we get back home. We are leaving for the ZOO!!! Mylee can't wait to see the MONKEYS! Sorry for the SNOW for the rest of ya!!!

One of the last goodbyes to Grandpa Gardner

Mylee kissing Grandpa goodbye!!

Well here is a 3 generation picture...wish mom was here so she could be in it.

Well as some of you might know, Grandpa Gardner is on his last days. He has failing kidneys and Bone Cancer that is in later stages than what they expected. We went there last Sunday and he was in good spirits, being his normal self. He was complaining about a stiff neck and said he was in a little bit of pain. Mylee was being naughty and kept getting his phone and trying to call Papa and so i went and got her and told her no no and she stuck her tongue out at me and ran off. Grandpa started laughing and couldn't stop. I told him she was acting just like a Gardner. He commented that he was so happy that she made him laugh. He loves when the Great Grand kids come over. But anyways, they ended up taking him to the doctor on Monday and they gave him a morphine patch, and things haven't been great since. Last Sunday was his last day since he was himself. We went there last night and he just slept and wasn't really coherent. But when we went there today, he was awake and just smiling. He tried getting Mylee to come over to him, but she wouldn't because she don't really like him. I think she is just scared of him. He said he was thirsty and they got him water, but he wanted what was in Chana's fountain Pepsi Cup. So we poured him some Pepsi. But as we were leaving we told Mylee to wave to Grandpa and tell him Goodbye and she wanted to kiss him. That just made Grandpas day. I am so Happy that he was coherent and that Mylee kissed him because that is probably the last kiss she will get before he gets to go see Grandma Platt up in heaven. I am so thankful for family and the time we have got to spend with grandpa. He has changed so much since Grandma died. I am very proud of you Grandpa!

Annie here is the new one

Sleepover Time!!

Last week Jay wanted to have a sleepover after she danced at the basketball game. She loves sleeping over and we love having her. Her favorite thing to do is pick out a movie to watch and pop popcorn and mix peanut M&M's in. She is such a good little helper when it comes to picking toys up and being Mother Hen to Mylee. We always have to cook French Toast when we get up the next morning. It was fun and Mylee can't wait until the next one.
