He's Here!

18 years ago

Caleb James!

{{gwi:609143}}

Meet my newest Grandson, Caleb James! Caleb was born on 08/11/08. He shares his birth date with my late father. Dad would have liked that. He was delivered by emergency C-section and both he and his mother are doing great. We think he is just beautiful. That is me, holding the sweet little thing, in this picture.

This is my older daughter, Celina, at her baby shower last month. She was so fluid filled with this pregnancy and this picture shows it! IRL she's a tiny little 100#-er. She gained more than 100 lbs. with this baby. She will be a stay at home mom now.

This is my little cowpoke, Ethan. He stayed with us during the last three weeks of his mother's pregnancy. He's a good worker and will make a good ranch hand someday. He needs a little time to get taller though. Ha!

This is how a little farm hand looks at the end of a day of harvesting wheat. He was so tired when he came back from the field but he was right up from bed the next morning ready to go to work at 7:00 AM.

This is my younger daughter, Alyssa. This is how farm girls look mid-day when the temps are over 100 F. and they have been rebuilding a baler all morning. This is a true girl-y girl but you'd never guess it from this picture.

This picture is proof that I really do have a garden. There are many more pictures (181 new ones ack!) on my Photobucket page. I haven't edited them yet so just get a good laugh over my photo taking capabilites as you browse.

Hugs!

    What a sweet new grandson and Ethan is adorable. He looks like a hardworker, as does your daughter. I think it's cool that she knows how to work on big equipment and is still a girly-girl.

    Congrats again on your new grandson Memo. Enjoy.

    I enjoyed pictures of your life as Rancher's wife. Bless your heart.

    Positively gorgeous group, Memo! Thanks so much for including us in your family circle - and with such a group, I just get the feeling that your cloud is going to have a sterling silver lining - just you wait!

    Beautiful family!

    Fixing a baler brings back farm memories for me! My family used mules for plowing when I was a little kid. By teenage years, I drove an old tractor before a car. I'll never forget the first time that I let the clutch out too quickly and the thing reared up with me! My job was driving the tractor and raking the hay into rows so that it could be baled. I remember that my dad would plow in early spring at night (using the lights on the tractor) when he got home from work. The fox family would come out and catch mice as he turned over the ground. That farm is now an airport! Time changes everything.

    Not to divert too much from Memo .....but, I'm another farmer's daughter and give Alyssa lots of credit for balancing the girly-girl w/farmhand skills - yea, Alyssa!

    I also learned to drive on tractor type equipment and benefitted from the education a dairy farm life gives a kid. "My" farm is now a golf course and I had a hand in that transformation too. Yep, time changes everything.

    What darling boys. Enjoy them, they grow ups so fast.
    The "lil" cowpoke is a cutie!

  • 18 years ago

    How sweet! Thanks for sharing. I'd like to look half as good in 90 degree weather while sipping tea on the porch, let alone after doing hard labor. No way will any pics of that hit the Internet any time soon. ; )

    That is a beautiful picture of you holding the new baby, you look simply radiant.

    Memo, you are truly blessed with a beautiful family.

    Hoping your feeling better and on the quick road to recovery.

    Hugs, love and kisses,

    Congratulations to you and your family MeMo, and a big welcome to Caleb James!!! Great name too, very nice ring to it and he is adorable. Great family pix, each and every one. Your lil cowpokes are BOTH so handsome (meaning baby cowpoke Caleb and big lil pokey one Ethan) and daughters both so very lovely (your older daughter reminds me of my daughter), and you look so happy and full of love holding your new grand son, MeMo! Thank you for sharing these with us. Oh, and your garden is beautiful, so cheerful and I love the pink roses, which variety is it ?--it's gorgeous! I will take a peek at your other photos in the morning. Love and hugs, Becky p.s. My daughter is expecting our second grand baby in January, another girl her name will be 'Victoria Rose' we think. So sweet. All for now. Becky :D

    What a lovely family...the new baby is adorable and Ethan looks right at home on that ranch gate. He is a cutie.
    Your daughters are lovely. I think the one with the new baby looks very much like you.

    Once again, congratulations.
