ON 1/7/0/9 Chloe showed her pigs that she has been training for the first time at the Collin County Livestock SHow. She was a little nervous, but she did a a great job when she was in front of the judges. She won 3rd place with Firecracker and she was very excited and happy. We all enjoyed watching her and had lots of fun.

December 24, 2008 Christmas Eve

A great time was had by all on Christmas Eve at our house in Rockwall. Jeremy Hayes spent the day with us and we so enjoyed having him. He is a great guy. We are glad that he is moving back to Dallas soon.

The Jones family is settled in McKinney and so glad to enjoy Christmas without the need of suitcases and a place to settle in. We are very glad to have them back home. The Walls are in their new home in Farmersville and are enjoying having more room than the had in the trailer. The Longs gave us our wonderful 8th grandchild in July. Her name is Larnon Elizabeth. SHe is 5 1/2 months old and we are all loving having a baby to play with.

Our eight grandchildren are ready to open their presents.

December 23, 2008 Allie Herbold comes to visit

Meme's 10th great grandchild, who is also her 8th great granddaughter, came to see us today. She brought along her parents, Katie and Jacob and her Tesa and Pops too. We were all so happy to finally meet her and see how cute she is. Some of her cousins were able to come by and meet her too and they think she is great. She and Larnon are very close in age and had lots to talk about when no one was looking.

December 1, 2008 YaYa Christmas party

The YaYa's met for our anual Christmas GNO ornament exchange at The Ranch restaurant in Cedar Hill on Monday Dec 1. We so enjoyed each other's company. We shared stories and thoughts and had a very touching prayer. We each remembered Peggy and missed her as we always do when we get together. She'll always be part of our YaYa Sisterhood.

I hope everyone is blessed with true friends who bless your life like my girlfriends do mine.
Merry Christmas YaYas.

November 27, 2008 Pictures from Thanksgiving at the Walls

Thanksgiving was so much fun at the Walls home. All our family was ther (the Jones family celebrated Thanksgiving in Florida from 2004-2007) so we were especially glad to have them back with us. Richard, Teresa and Zack joined us too.
All the grandchildren enjoyed playing outside, riding on the 4 wheeler and the tractor and jumping on the trampoline and playing inside with all the toys.

It was cold enough for a fire in the fireplace and the Cowboys were playing on TV so all the guys were happy too.

THe food was wonderful. Meme cooked the turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce and pumpkins pies and the rest of the girls cooked there specialties.

Stacy did a wonderful job decorating and her house was very welcoming and both she and Brandon made everyone feel right at home.
