And What Did You Do Today?

This is what we did all day...come to think of it this is what we have been doing the past couple of days. How nice it is.

Oh my goodness Shell, I look like my momma more and more every day don't you think?

And then there was time spent watching a fello beach go-er feed this guy a banana bite by small bite with a stick.





He was so full that rather than run away from me he struck a pose.





Well tomorrow is another day!

A Special Lady

On her special day.

Lois loves to tell stories about her two oldest boys that were only a year apart.

It seems these boys were quite the little devils...no no all of you that know David are saying....

Sweet David a little devil.....yup he was!

Now Grandma gets to enjoy great grandbabies!

Happy birthday Lois

And many many more

They Seem To Like Heights Here!

Or they don't mind them and there is no OSAH in Mexico it seems!

This is our entertainment every morning while we are sitting on our back porch drinking coffee.

These guys are working on the building next to us. They are about 50 feet up and dont mind leaning over the edge to get the job done!

And these guys are at least 50-60 feet up on a boat mast!

Not me no nadda not me!



The weather continues to be wonderful, the days are hard sitting on the beach...but somebody's got to do it....Jean, Auntie Jo and Jess where are you???

Hola From Isla

The weather is better than expected, the water is blue, the sand is white, the company is of course fabulous and the digs are good!




Here we are in the land of relaxation. It was a long day of traveling...well not really but we were up at 2am to get to the airport by 3:30am. First things first-

A nap on the beach

This year we are trying something new, staying right in the heart of downtown. The price cannot be beat, very close to the beach and even closer yet (right out our front door) to the resturants and shopping.

David sitting outside our little hacienda last night. I had to watch my feet when taxi went by....the roads are very narrow and I almost got a foot run over!

The inside of our little room. Kitchenette, living area and a small patio out back.

And Mikey guess what the very first thing we did today was???? No trip is complete without a trip to Walmart. David wants me to let you know Mikey that getting to Walmart cost us $40! Ferry to Cancun, taxi to Walmart, taxi back and ferry back to the island. I wont even talk about the money that we dropped there! We were like two kids in a candy store shopping for the deals. We plan on eating out less this year and cooking more in our room. So Walmart was sort of necessary...I guess.

Looks yummy doesnt it? Fried shrimp, garlic butter and steamed beans.

All made in the comforts of our room.

More updates to come from paradise.

A special hello to Judy Faye.

When Your Doctor Calls You At Home On A Sunday!

It makes you a tad bit nervous.

My oncologist called this afternoon......I did manage to get, "Hello" out but then immediatly said...."What, what's wrong"! I mean come on it is Sunday for one thing...can't be good news can it? Did the bloodwork show some additional problems? Did they find something else on the chest X-ray?

Why no, absolutly not. Very good news in deed. My type of cancer is hormone fed. The treatments that they gave was intended to throw me into menopause in order to stop those crazy hormones that cause cancer in my case. That wonderful man called to tell me that I am oficially in full menopause (it just took a little longer than was hoped) which is very very good in regards to being less likely to have the cancer return.

That is not to say that I need to stop watching etc...but it is one more hurdle that we have scaled.

When Your Doctor Calls You At Home On A

February Is A Busy Month

It is the month that Rachel was born, on this very day....just a few years ago...haha.

Happy brithday to you Rachel.

You are a wonderful mom and we are proud of all that you have accomplished.

You stand by what you believe in and we respect you for that.

I wonder if you fully realize how special you are.

Have a great day Rachel.

Dad and Bobbi

Happy Happy Birthday

May you continue to have a good life.....AND LOTS OF BABIES!

Have a wonderful day.

Love you lots.

Pictures Pictures!!!!

Kelly's email to me

Well guess they were correct on the due date. Seems as though I am 8 weeks and 2 days along so looking at 9/22 or 9/23 as the due date. There are 2 pictures. The first is just the general external ultrasound picture which is really hard to see. The little bugger is just a few centimeter. The doctor also mentioned that I have a tilted uterus that I already knew about. That is why it looks a bit narrow but that is ok, no reason to worry. The second picture is where they captured the heartbeat. We could actually see the motion and hear the heartbeat which was strong and in the normal range. Now you have pics to add to the blog!!!!

And the pictures to go with it.

So this is how Kelly explained it to me....there is a dark oblong area on top and under that is a round looking shape. Inside of that is a halfmoon darker shape. INSIDE of that is another lighter colored shape. The lighter colored shape is the baby!

September 23rd is Kelly's birthday!

Kelly has given me permission to blog the progress as she is not a good blogger she so says...I guess if you work on computers all day the last thing you want to do when off work is futz with them huh? So I am of course happy to oblige.

This is much more fun to talk about than what I was going to share today...but I will share it anyway. Doctor appointment went well as expected (never mind the fact that I passed out while having blood drawn!!!) and I go back again in four months.

Two babies in September.....well who knows that is considering Jen or Kel doesnt have multiples...just kidding none expected but ya never know! Little Dezbah will have cousins to boss around! Family reunions at the cabin in the fall.....how fun.

Thanks Jan

Pretty good huh Ry?

Valentie's Day

Is not only for all of you sweeties out there but it is also my pop's day of birth.

Happy birthday to you dad.

AND it is the day that my David and I celebrate making the long and ever so boring trip to South Dakota (great drive wasnt it kids and Mary???) to get married. The drive may have been boring but the wedding was just exactly the right price and absolutly no stress.

Happy 16th anniversary to my soul mate. I am thankful for you every day of my life.
Love you

Bobbi

Oh and today is also the day for me to have my checkup with my oncologist. I am expecting a glowing report this check up and all of the others to come!

And He Says That I Can't Keep A Secret!

Made a liar out of you Lenny. I have been able to keep quiet for over a month now!

It seems that my Dad will be a Great Grandad this year!

Yup Len and Kel are expecting their first baby. It may in fact come on Kelly's own birthday if calculations are correct-end of September.

Needless to say they are excited as are we.....HEY that means that I will be a biological grandma...woo whooo.

Chrissy, tell Lisa that she was right. We were at pool one night and the waitress wanted to know if Kel was pregnant because she 'Had that look in her eye'! Both Kel and I almost fell off of our chairs.

2008 just keeps getting more exciting.
