Last night (08/26/11) Bob and I babysat for our daughter and son-in-law, we had such a good time. They went out to a party for some friends and Gramma and Grandpa got the privilege. He is such a good baby, but does hate to go to asleep for fear he will miss something. LOL. It was truly a joy for us to watch him. Grandpa watched the two granddogs and Gramma watched the baby. LOL
The parents returned and this grandma has not loss her ability to put little ones to sleep, he fell asleep in my arms and i put him to bed, it was hard because I love to hold him. He has so much
love and above all SUGAR.
And of course, the time I arrived at the house, i was a bearer of gifts, some things for Caleb for later and then of course some for now. I guess I am a sucker for my grandchildren, I spoil everyone of them. ALL NINE!!!! You dont believe me, just ask them.
The other day, my oldest daughter was here to visit with her children, her second son, had gone shopping with his mom and wanted something, she told him no, he said okay, I will ask Gramma Hayes she will get it for me. LOL AND of course Gramma came through and bought the item for him. HA HA HA
Well everyday, no matter what trials we go through we need to remember This is the Day the Lord has Made let us rejoice in it. Some days granted it is hard to do, but I just reflex on my grandchildren and indeed know this is truly the day hath made and what a blessing they all are.
We love our children, but grandchildren are indeed a blessing to ones family. I praise the Lord for all my children and their family and the family that God has given them.
Well will close for now, more things later. Bless you all!

Spending Time with Caleb
This past week, I spent time with my Daughter, Jessica and her precious son, Caleb. This grandma was so elated. We got up in the wee hours of the morning and those mornings (early)
brought several memories of getting up with my children. Caleb I think loves his Grandma and loves being held (probably of which I am guilty of spoiling him) (oops priveledge of a Grandma)
I so loved being with my daughter and seeing her in action, she is so awesome and so good with
Caleb.
Each morning before his daddy would leave, he would get tons of sugar to last him till he came home that afternoon (of course, a parent cant get too much sugar and there isnt ever too much)
I so enjoyed spending the nights and days with them. I hated for it to come to end, but I knew they must get on with there family routine and Grandma had too too. So sad, when you did not want to leave. Am so thankful I had that time with them. They are such good parents and I am so proud of them.
Caleb has wonderful parents who love him so much. One thing for sure even though he is #9
the thrill is still there as it was 9 years ago with the birth of my first.
Thank you Matt and Jessica for this time I spent with you all and with precious Caleb, those are good memories this Grandma will cherish forever.

Caleb Matthew
Yesterday in the lives of the Hayes, was a very big, big, day. We waited on the arrival of our nineth grandchild, Caleb, His mom was a real trooper all day, and even more so when she was told she would be having a C-Section to bring our precious Caleb into this world. She did great, and that goes for our wonderful son-in-law who stood by her all the way, and still cares for her
every need. He is so wonderful and we are truly blessed to have him in our family,
All Jess's brothers and sisters were here, even her twin brother who felt pain and sympathy for her JK ing, It was a truly triumphant day for the Hayes Family, for this was our baby of the family having her own baby. Such happiness and tears, but tears of joy and happiness.
Our daughter is a real trooper and will be and IS a good mom already, along with her husband who is at her side meeting everyone of her wishes and desires, God truly has blessed our family.
Caleb was born into this family weighing in at 8 lbs. 14 ozs. at 7:01 pm and was 21 inches long. He is simply gorgeous or rather handsome some would say. This grandma says gorgeous!!
I as well as the rest of the family are still in shock of the weight of the baby. Our thanks and hearts go out to two wonderful people, Dr. Stephen Smith and Nurse Pam, they were by her side and right there for her throughout the whole day. Many Many thanks to you both.
Well enough of my bragging, we are so elated and filled with so much happiness and excitement, it is hard to believe he is finally here. You can go on Face Book and see a proud father holding his son, with such happiness and gladness. This is truly the day the Lord has made, may we all rejoice in it.
God bless you all, and we appreciate all the prayers at this time, for our daughter. Thanks again

Awaiting the arrival of Caleb
Today is the day the Lord has made, may we rejoice in it and be glad!!!
As we wait on the arrival of our 9th grandchild, I reflect back on my own births in which each and everyone was so special, as I had each of my babies, I felt the love just pour out and could see the blessing from God already brought forth in my babies face. As they are all grown now, these memories still remain with me each and everyday as I pray for each one and the love they have for our precious Lord and Savior. These moments of waiting are so thrilling and exciting.
As each and every grandchild has been born into our family, it seems as though, this #9 is once again the feelings we had as the first one came into this world 9 years ago. The thrills do not stop. We await the arrival of our precious Caleb.
Well as I close this blog posting, keep my family in your prayers (all of them) we covet them in so many ways especially for this 9th grandchild as he makes his way into this world to loving and caring parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. Bless you all this day.

Anniversay
Today is my 40th Wedding Anniversary, I have been married to this wonderful man for 40 wonderful years. And I love him just as much the day I married him, if not more. These have been wonderful years, full of lots of learning, ups and downs, but we have a solid marriage and base it on Christ being the center of our marriage. Communication is important never,never hold a grudge or back away from any problems, always, discuss open and outright. Talking is always important, never go to bed with anger in your heart, that is surely a way to drive a wedge into ones relationship.
Someone once told us, that the best way to a GOOD MARRIAGE is to keep the spice of life always involved. Your children are important, but the number one person in your life is your Mate, one day you will wake up and all your children will be gone, and the only two people in your life will be each other. Do not be strangers when that day comes.
Today is a celebration of 40 wonderful years together, I pray that God allows us to have many more.This man is very important in my life and I cannot think of not having him beside my side.
Happy Anniversary honey, I love you.

Yesterday we got see our son, James fly into Tyndall, it was so exciting, to see him, and finally see what he does for a living. He and his student, did an awesome landing. We were so excited to spend time with him and his student. He loves his job and we are so proud of him. You can go to face book and see some pictures of a proud father with his son.
We then went to a couples shower for Jessica and Matt and were overwhelmed with all the love that was showered to them. We are so thankful that our kids are so well loved by so many.
Baby Caleb will be well taken care of and loved by so many. We cant wait till he arrives so we can hold him and tell him how much he is loved and cared about.
Today is our oldest granddaughters birthday, she is nine years old, Grandpa and Grandma will be taking her out to breakfast this morning along with her two aunts. We can remember the day she was born and how thrilled we were to have our first grandchild. The love and thrills goes on as we are expecting number nine in a few weeks. SO BLESSED!!!

Saturday is my oldest granddaughter birthday, she will be 9 years old. I can remember the day she was born, it was so exciting to have a grandbaby, and one that we cuddle and love. That truely was a special day in the lives of the Hayes.
We are planning a big day for Natalie, we are all going out to breakfast in the morning of the 4th of June and later that day, grandma may take her out on another fun time. From, that day on
my grand children have become 8 and we are expecting #9 in the last of july. It is no different from the first day of Natalies birth till the anticipation of the birth of Caleb. We are so excited and are sitting on pins and needles. To think # 9 coming soon, how exciting CANT WAIT!
We have been so busy with every thing, that I have neglected my blog a little. Maybe soon I will be able to sit down for longer than 5 minutes and type a really good blog. Well that is all I have time for now.
God bless.
