Aquarium And Titanic

O.K. we couldn't let all you young cousins have all the fun. So, Charlie took last Monday off and some of us older folks took our turn. Yes we took Moo with us. She finally rolled up her sleeves and dived in to feel the rays and sharks. We couldn't get her to have her picture with the orange fish, she thought that would probably be a bit embarrassing. Amy, I'm sure you would have found a way to get it done anyway. We had such a great time and we were able to tour the Titanic exhibit also.

Being a Gramma

I love being a Gramma. There is a very special joy that comes with being able to share in Levi's life. He is only four months old and I can't believe I can love someone other than my own children with so much passion. It's not just his smile that melts my heart but the pouts and cries and just the way he sleeps. I love it all. Thanks Jill and Arron for giving me such a very special gift.

I Love you all.

Earthen Vessel and Ivan Parker

Charlie and I traveled to Shiloh Baptist in Newborn Saturday to listen to Earthen Vessels and Ivan Parker in concert. We had a wonderful time in worship and fellowship. Yes that's the Compton Girls, known as Earthen Vessels. Thanks Tony and Linda for a great time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR REBECCA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!

Alaska 2008

Well as promised... I am reporting on our super great trip to Alaska. We truly had a wonderfully great time and it was made better by those we got to share it with. Everyone of us was truly amazed by our adventure.



The animals were truly outrageous. The reindeer and musk ox were at a farm. The grizzly and gray fox which I don't have a picture of on here we saw at Denahli National park while riding on a bus 66 mile to look for animals. We saw 14 bears and 11 moose that day. IT WAS GREAT!!! The black bear we saw in Valdez, where the salmon run. He was literally on the side of the road in the creek bed. It was awesome, so we stayed for a while and just watched, couldn't believe we were actually that close and weren't being attacked.

The scenery...that can only speak for itself, and of course the pictures do not do it justice. The rainbow was amazing. As we were leaving Denahli park it was raining a little and it stopped the sun tried to break through and we actually saw the rainbow form from one side to the other. It had the most vibrant colors I have ever seen and it looked like it might have had more than the original 7. It was the absolute best ending of an already spectacular day. Isn't God WONDERFUL!!!

All the flowers were so colorful. Lots of oranges and just gorgeous. We couldn't get over how big they grew either. Because of the extra sunlight and lots of water. Flowers were everywhere and we have lots more picture, ask to see themwhen you are around.

And of course any time you go off with a group of people, strange and unusal things happen. There was no way to get pictures of all of us snoring (yes, Moo too) except Gene and Mike of course. But here are a few picture I thought you would enjoy.

As in any trip some things are better told in person so when you come to visit ask us and we will pullout the other 126 pictures of all the animals, and scenery and all the other what not pictures that we took.

Can't wait for the next adventure. Who knows?. . .you may be a part of it.

Well, The big day is finally here. We leave tomorrow for Alaska. Beth and Amy has asured us they can hold the fort down while we are gone. Can't wait to get back and share all the crazy adventures with you all.

Senior Citizen???

Well, I've reached the age status. Charlie and I kept Levi ALL day Sunday. We took him to eat with us at Captain D's. Charlie was wearing Levi in his pouch and everyone was doing the ohh, ahh game while I was placing our order. When I got ready to pay the cashier gave me a senior citizen discount. So I have to ask, is it the gray hair or the cute baby?

Ok, so pick yourselves up off the floor and enjoy the update. I will soon be going on a trip to Alaska, can't wait but will miss the new guy in my life so much, Isn't he just the most adorable little man in the whole wide universe? O.k I know all you new Cousin moms are thinking well no mine is. So I guess it's best to say "to each his own". But I must say out of all the families in the world we do produce some of the best looking babies ever.



I promise to try to share my trip with you all when I return. I'm still trying to get use to this stuff and remember how to post and other things so be patient with me.



Oh yeah about the memory lane stuff... Everyday and every moment is a memory and I am so glad to be a part of each of your lives and memories good, bad, happy and sad.

Water Day

We had water day to end the summer of Kidmo. Charlie and I had a blast with the kids. It was a great success! Charlie even did it. Enjoy!

Charlie going down...

And his thoughts afterward...

Memory Lane

So I started thinking that I have tons of memories growing up, and many of them involve my parents. I know some of you share the same memories, so I signed them up to play along. Leave a memory for about my mom or dad.


Here's how it works:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together, or one of the first memories you have of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

He's Here!!

It's official. Levi Aaron Wadley made his arrival on May 28, 2008. He weighed in at 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 20 inches long. Mom and baby are doing fine. For more updates on Levi visit Aaron & Jill's blog.

It's a BOY!

Well I have given my mom almost 2 weeks to post the good news, and with no posts, I have decided to make the post myself. Aaron and I have found out that we are expecting a baby BOY! We are really excited, especially Aaron and my dad. The baby and mom are doing well. If you want to know more you can read our blog. The picture above is of the baby's profile, and the one below is the proof of boy picture.

Happy 47 Mom!!

We just wanted to tell mom Happy Birthday! Thanks for all you do for us. We hope you have a great day, and that you have another 47 more to come.

Love,
Aaron, Jill, & Baby Levi
