Dutchess, our new puppy

Dutchess is a Goldendoodle. She is 8 weeks old. She was born May 20, 2007.

Chuck missed our golden retriever, Dutchess so much that he wanted another one. We compromised on this puppy because it doesn't shed. Anyone that has a golden retriever knows how much shedding they do. I was so tired of the hair everywhere.

Can you believe that he named her Dutchess. She is so sweet and gentle. She will have to get a little tougher, because Patches beats up on her. They are just so cute to watch them rough housing around.

Cute Pictures Of Our Dogs

Here is Cody our yellow lab relaxing in the back yard, while Patches and Dutchess are running around playing.



It is hard to believe that Patches is 4 1/2 months and Dutchess is only 8 weeks old. Dutchess is the same size as Patches.



Patches is a roughy when it comes to playing with Dutchess. She is the tomboy of the girls, LOL.

The Happy Family

They are all happy for the new arrival of Jacob Quinn Maximus J.

He is such a cutie and then what baby isn't a cutie.



Timothy is starting to talk pretty good. He wanted to talk to me on the phone last night. What a sweet little boy.

Leanna had her first sleep over at Mia's house and I assume it went well, because she stayed all night. Very Good, Leanna!

They were visiting us last night and Justin just loved our little puppies.

JACOB QUINN MAXIMUS

We are so proud of our newest edition to the clan.




Weighing in at 8.6 lbs. I think he is 20 1/2 inches long.




We were told the that Leanna and Justin like hin already, but Timothy don't know what to make of him.




Timothy will like him more when he can play with him.

NEW ARRIVAL, IT'S A BOY!

Hi everyone!

We are proud grandparents of a baby boy named, Jacob Quinn Maximus. Can't wait to see the little one. I'll post pictures when I get some.

Baby Jacob was born July 17th at 4:50 PM at Lehigh Valley Hospital.

Tom's Presents

Here is a picture that Maree' painted of her daddy. It looks just like him minus the mustache. If you look closely she even painted some gray in the sides of his hair. She made sure to tell her daddy that, LOL. Everyone laughed at that one.

Here is his favorite movie of all times, The Gladiator. He wants to name his son after the character in the movie, but Steph says no way.



His mother-in-law gave him this book on BUTTS because Tom is always taking pictures of people's butts. I never saw Tommy laugh so hard when he opens this gift. I hope he didn't get my big butt, LOL.

Our oldest Granddaughter, Maree'

It is so hard to believe that Maree' is 10 yr old. She is such a pretty young lady.


She is enjoying her day with her step-brother, Justin. She is a very good BIG sister. They fight as siblings do, but they all love each other very much.

The Birthday Cakes

Steph did a wonderful job making and decorating the cakes for Tom, Justin, and Leanna. They were very moist and good.

Claire's Tatoo

Here is Claire's tatoo. That must have hurt, ouch! Can't wait to see it when it is completed.

Claire being herself, funny!

Claire is Steph my dauther-in-law's youngest sister. She is a character and a half. She is the jokester of their family.

The Birthday Kids

Tom is holding one of the baby rabbits he turned 33 on June 30th. Justin is enjoying the swing he turned 3 on the June 27th. Leanna opening her presents turned 6 on June 19th. It was a wonderful day at their house.

Marie with Patches

Patches took a liking to Marie she is J.R's wife and my hair stlylist.

The Stampede Band and Chuck, my hubby

Here is the band my hubby Chuck is in it is called "STAMPEDE." They play country, oldies, and rock-n-roll. Left to right, you have J.R lead guitar and vocals, Chuck in the black hat on bass guitar and vocals, Gene on piano and vocals, and Sid on drums. They blend well together to bring a variety of songs and years of experience.
Chuck is preparing to do his next number for the wonderful crowd.

A Family Day at Meuser Park

It was so nice to see Jan's children Jason, Becky, Janay with her boyfriend Matt, Jessica and her boyfriend Charlie, and Jacob come hear their Uncle Chuck play. Jason and Becky brought their dog Cloe to enjoy the show.

Patches with Cloe

Cloe is our nephew Jason and Becky's shihtzu. She was afraid of Patches when they came out to hear Chuck play at Meuser Park. It was so funny to see Cloe hide from Patches.

Patches and Cody

Here she is following Cody all around our yard. She just loves Cody, but Cody doesn't know how to take her sometimes. She tries to do everything he does when they are out in the yard together it is so funny to watch.

Here is my Baby Girl....

Patches is our newest edition to our family pets. Boy is she a joy to have around. She just lights up when she sees me and Chuck. She torments the heck out of our yellow lab, Cody. Cody growls and raises her jowls at her. One of these days Patches is going to get it from Cody.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, THOMAS (my baby)

Today June 30th Thomas, a.k.a. Tubbers, turned 33 yrs old. It is so hard to believe that he is that old all ready. Where does the time go.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUSTIN THE BIG 3

My little grandson Justin turned 3 yrs old on June 27th. and I'm so sorry I didn't post it on my Blog.

ME SO SORRY JUSTIN,

NANNY SUE

Remodeling

My son Tom and his worker Ron started to remodel the mud room and made it into a laundry room/back porch. It looks so nice. It was a long time coming. The ceiling was falling down from being so old.

Now they are doing my kitchen. Getting rid of old metal cabinets and putting in wooded ones. I hated those cabinets. Couldn't get them clean anymore. They were so old!

Can't wait till everything is done and I can put things away and decorate.

The beginnig of Summer

It is so hard to believe that June is almost gone and we will be entering July. Time just seems to just fly by as we grow older.

Yesterday, Chuck and I took a bus trip to Atlantic City. Well, I can say we didn't come back rich, but we enjoyed ourselves. We walked the Boardwalk to get something to eat. Then we went into the Pier Shops and came upon a Mac Store. They had everything in there that you could buy for any kind of Mac product. I have been looking for a cover for my keyboard since I got my i-Mac, because the cord isn't long enough to go on the slide out draw and it has to sit on top on my desk. Boy is it getting dirty. I was so happy that I found one :).

What Does Your Checkbook Say About You

This is a very interesting article that my daughter-in-law found. I thought it would be good to post to see if anyone saw themselves in their checkbook.

HAPPY 6Tth BIRTHDAY, TO MY "LEANNA ROSE JAYLEE"

Here is my beautiful granddaughter Leanna from when she was little until now. She is 6 years old today. My you have grown into a beautiful little girl. Nanny Sue and Little Pop-pop are so very proud of you.
She is a wonderful big sister to her little brothers. They sometimes fight as siblings do, but she loves her brothers very much.

Father's Day

I like to wish the three men in my life that are fathers a very Happy Father's Day 2007.


We have Chuck, Tom, and my foster son John. I really like that BIG fish you caught.



I hope you all had a very wonderful day.

Patches and her new Doo

She is just so darn cute. It is hard to believe that she is mixed with a poodle. They told me at the pet shop that she is a shih-poo. I don't see any poodle in her. Do you?

Our New Puppy, Patches

She just loves this cat toy. She is always putting her head in it and walking around with it on her head. She eats with it on and you see she is sleeping with it on. She is so funny to watch. She goes from one toy to another toy, just like a baby does.
This is a picture of her before she got her first haircut. She was a little ball of fur. She is only 3 months old. She was born 3/3/07
