I am so excited to write on my blog today. Our sweet baby Tanner was born on the 22 of May 2009 at about 11:00 am. He was 6lbs 8oz and 18 1/2 inches long. He has red hair and blue eyes. Tesha thinks they will turn hazel like Madison's. Jarad says he remembers Madison looking alot like Tanner. They will name him Tanner Jarad Mauchley and call him TJ. Tesha did really good. She only had to push a little and he was here. She has her babies so easy it is a shame she has to quite. But with 5 kids they are ready to be done.
The girls came to grandma's house on friday for a sleepover. We had Pizza and grandpa took them to the school to play on the Big Toy and then watched a movie. They all slept on the floor in the living room. They woke up in the morning and we had Banana pancakes, sausage and chocolate milk. Madison and Taylor went to Brooke's house to help her with some chores. They came home with new nail polish on toes and fingers and watched movies and cleaned Brooke's walls. They had a riot.
Sara and Morgan stayed with grandpa and grandma for the day. We planted the rest of the garden and watched movies. Brooke had a date so they came home at about 5:00. They were anxious to see Tanner so we decided to take them home. We stopped for some chicken to take to their house for dinner. After we spent a little while and I held Tanner, Kevin and I came home. It was fun to have them there with us but we were glad to take them home.

I am not very good at keeping up on my Blog. It is finally spring, in fact today is warm enough to be summer. I have alot of my flowers planted and my vegetable plants ready to go into the garden.
Tesha is planned to go in on Friday to deliver our new baby boy, Tanner. We are so excited to have him here.
Trennis is having some problems with his weight. My grandkids just have little genes to deal with. Their doctors are just not happy campers. Oh well, they are healthy and strong. Just give us a break. We went to Seth's Pre-school graduation on Friday. It was so cool. He is getting so big. He starts kindergarted next year along with Sara. All my babies are growing up to fast. Madison and Jordan will be going into the second grade next year. Unbelievable.
Brooke has been going out with a new guy. I think she likes him. He is very nice and makes her laugh. That has always been important to her. He seems to respect her space and let's her do her thing without alot of pressure. They have done some fun things together. He has alot the same interestes the Mauchley's do, so I think he might fit in pretty good if she gets serious about him.
Kevin has started his softball season. I think snowmobile season is over, although there is still alot of snow out there. They still have a couple of weeks to hunt the great turkey. They can't find out where they are so we might have to go without the turkey this year. OH WELL! I will end now. I hope I can get to this sooner that I did last time. Judy

It has been forever since I wrote in my blog. It has been a very long winter. I am so ready for Spring to come. Kevin got his new snowmobile and trailer and has been going alot. Kevin also bought a new 3/4 ton diesel truck last week. I think he is excited to have it. Of course he always has buyers remourse for a while but he will eventually be glad he did it.
I really prefer the nice warm weather of spring and summer. I have done a couple of quilts and finished my Alaska scrapbook. I will be really glad when I can get out and enjoy my deck and have warm sunshine on my face again.
We are anxiously awaiting Jarad and Tesha's new baby TJ to come around the 24th of May. Jarad has finished the bedroom downstairs for the girls so there is room for TJ upstairs. Jason has been going snowmobiling with his dad alot. Abby has been painting her kids bedrooms. She has been moving the 2 boys into the bigger bedroom and Jordan gets the smaller one by herself. I have not seen them yet but I am sure Abby is making them cute.
Brooke is still at the Vet hospital. She also seems to like the warm weather. She spends alot of time at the gym.
Kevin bought me Celine Dion tickets for my birthday in February. It was a fun night. Kevin likes her more than I do but I enjoyed the concert.
We are going on a Snowmobiling retreat in March. I really wish we were going to Hawaii, but beggers can't be choosers.

Well Christmas and New Years are over and I am back at work. I kinda like the structure of work and home this way. We had a great Christmas. It was over too quick though. We enjoyed the grandkids and the times we had with them. I am so glad they are close so that I can see them often.
I would like to start my scrapbook of Alaska now and I have a few dozen quilt kits to work on. I have plenty to do. Now is always a good time to get inside things done. Kevin is gone on most Saturdays so I can do my own thing.
