Go To Your Drafts & Post A One!!

I was having trouble thinking of a post for my little ole blog here & it struck me to look through my drafts to see which post never made it here to the writing board.... Well here's the pic that was suppose to be in my post:

This is my youngest son Brandon with my little nephew Kason.


Kason is now now 18 months and here's a pic of him now:

He is such a happy little camper! He has such a happy, smiley, funny, people person personality! Not to mention he's a snuggle bunny!! It just doesn't get any better than that for an Aunt!


It goes to show you how fast time flies! I think I'm going to go through my other drafts & see which other posts never made it! :)  So now it's your turn & go check yours!

Until next time~

Happy 19th Birthday Brandon!!!

     (This post is just only 1 week behind!! )  
      My little baby boy is all grown up! This time 19 years ago, we welcomed Brandon C. Eastman into our lives at 11:54am on June 29, 1992. Colby was now a big brother and Brandon would forever be the little brother. Colby & Brandon are 2 1/2 years apart which I think was just perfect.


     Brandon's B-day fell on a Wednesday this year, so after church a group of us met at Subway to hang out. This week it was Mr. Doug, Ken, Kris, Kaci, Matt, Kelly, Scott, Sherry, Emily, Jessica, Chuckie, Brandon & I. I brought a cake which I had picked up from Publix on my way home from work. I even remembered to pick up candles! Surprise on that one! ;)


Kris made Brandon the cutest card! She is so creative! In more ways than I can dream to be. They picked Brandon out one of the shirts he's been wanting that's suppose to help keep you cooler while you are out in the heat. He loved it! It was very thoughtful of them to think of Brandon. They sure have helped Brandon so much in the past couple of years!


Saturday, July 2, 2011, we had Brandon's Bday get together with Pa & Nannie, Aunt Karen, Jay & Kason, Colby & Sarah. We all gathered at Jay & Karen's house. Jay grilled his famous hamburgers, which Colby now claims the famous ingredient is "A-1 sauce"!! Nannie made her famous potato salad which was so yummy. I think Jay could have at the whole bowl by himself! Nannie also made the cupcakes & some delicious peanut better chocolate yummy stuff (can't recall the actual name..I know it's Jello-no bake!). I so enjoyed Karen's sweet tea!! You can't beat an ice cold glass of iced tea!


We all enjoyed such a great time!!!! Brandon received Tim Tebow's book from Aunt Karen & Jay!! He had been wanting this since it had came out. This will definitely be a keepsake gift! :)


Brandon still has one more celebration and that is with Papa & Granny Eastman! This is one Birthday that just keeps on going & going! :)


We love you Brandon & each day you bring us joy, smiles & laughter not to mention all the times you aggravate me, pick on me, & really just make me made! But if you didn't you just wouldn't be you, would you? lol
Here's a few photos from the day @ Karen & Jay's:

   
   

Babysitting My Little Nephew Kason

I was lucky enough to spend my day Saturday, September 25, 2010 babysitting my sweet little nephew Kason aka Bubee. I am so in love with Kason. It is a total joy to spend time doing nothing but seeing about him. Being an Aunt is so much different than being a Mom. When I get to spend time babysitting him I don't have to worry about cleaning house, washing clothes, cooking lunch etc. because I always go to Karen & Jay's house! It's so much easier for Karen too because she doesn't have to worry about packing up Kason's baby items.
Karen and Jay decided to get away for one night in celebration of their 2nd Anniversary. I kept Kason until 5:00pm & then I took him over to his Nana & Papa's house (Jay's parents) to spend the night. I was so wishing I had agreed to keep for the night by staying @ Karen & Jay's house but Karen didn't think I'd be up to it after working all week & driving back & forth from Gainesville everyday.
Kason is starting to crawl!! He will crawl about three spaces & then he lays down. He has the sitting up by himself down pat. He seems too little to being doing this. I already miss him being a little baby! Several times I would look up & Kason would be sitting there just staring at me! I would smile & then he would smile right back. We made a game out of me tickling him under his arm pits! He was laying in the crook of my arms & I would say, "I'm gonna get you" & then lift up his arm and tickle him. He would actually laugh!! I almost called Karen to get her to listen but I didn't.
Karen & I txted back several times during the day. I sent her pics of Kason to her on her phone. They stayed @ the Hilton in St. Augustine. She txt me one time saying, "Guess what? They have a Hobby Lobby here!" I have been in Hobby Lobby in Ocala & told her & Mom that we needed to go. So now she knows what I'm talking about when I say, "Hobby Lobby!"
Brandon came over & brought some pizza from Pizza Hut. Then Chuckie came over on his lunch hour. So Kason was able to give out even more baby sugars. :)
I gave Kason a bath & fed him before taking him to Nana's.We drove to their house & Kason helped me drive. No I didn't drive on the highway we drove in the ditch. When we walked in the side door & Nana was in the kitchen with Granny & Jady. I handed Kason to Nana & he looked back to me as if to say, "Why are you leaving me Aunt Amee?" I almost started crying!! We walked to the living room to see Jady's little brother Jake. Nana sat Kason down on the quilt & again he looked at me with the same look..."why, Aunt Amee?" I kissed him bye & then aruged with myself why didn't I tell Karen weeks ago that I would keep him for the night! So I've learned something. Next time I'm volunteering to keep Kason for the night!!!!!!

I put these cute shoes on Kason. Who knew they would provide him with entertainment!?

Kason ended up getting one of his shoes off & was going to chew on it so I put them on the coffee table. Well he watched me sit them there & he crawled over to the table & tried pulling up!!! So it will not be long & he will be into everything!!

Me & my Sweetie Pie!

Brandon stopped by to see Kason! He was headed to Ken & Kris's house to watch some football games.

Kason loved Brandon's silver watch!

Brandon's Senior Personality Pictures Taken At Sears

Chuckie, Brandon and I went to Gainesville Saturday April 3, 2010. We had an appointment at Sears to have Brandon's Sr. Photographs taken. I had decided Sears because Karen (my sister) had Kason's pics taken earlier this week and they turned out beautiful,so we decided to make Brandon's appt. We were extremely pleased with Brandon's pictures. Before he had pictures taken we went to Play It Again Sports because Brandon had $$$ and had to spend it. Guess on what? Well his new interest is roller blading!!Yep, he bought him a nice looking pair of roller blades. Kelly had given him a 20% off coupon so that did help a lot! :) Brandon has been working out at school lifting weights and he has his own workout equipment at home. So roller blading is another form of exercise for him.
After pictures we went to JC Penney for me to find a top to wear with my black dress pants for church. I asked Chuckie to hold my purse for me (which he doesn't mind) and without realizing what was going on, I see Brandon hurrying up walking towards me and with this funny grin. I asked him what was up and he said, "Dad his following me...with your purse on his shoulder!!" How funny!! Chuckie told Brandon that a couple of ladies were looking at him funny. Brandon said yeah with Mom's purse on your shoulder and here I am standing beside you! Brandon said they are gonna think things so he was getting away from his Dad. It really cracked me up! These are what memories are made of!!
We left Penneys and headed to Sonny's BarBque..YUMMY!! They had all you could ribs! We all ordered ribs. It was amazingly excellent!!! We left Sonny's stuffed!!! When we arrived back in Trenton we didn't go home. Instead we went to the elementary school. Brandon had to try his roller blades out! He was so funny!! Let's just say its gonna take practice. Well maybe lots of practice! :D) hehe..

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Brandon made this scrapbook!! I was surprised he was interested in making one! I think he did a great job...:)
