Updating my Blog It is now 2011

I got to spend 2 weeks with Grant and Ashleigh before Christmas, my mother joined us and we had Christmas together on Dec. 19th.. I also got to spend a weekend with my best friend from high school, Pam O'Dell-Kirk...Wonderful times...

Then on the 23rd Lynn and I drove up to Okla. to Amy and Bryan's new home for Christmas..then after Christmas we drove on up to Marysville Ks, to see Lynn's sister Glenda and John, and Mom Gourley was there, we ended up in Melvern Ks, staying for New Years..then home to Texas...What a wonderful Family filled holiday for me. My 4 babies are the most precious gifts God and my children could give me.

April is almost over already.

Well my family and friends, time is flying by already this year.

Lynn and I bought a new house, got out of that apartment, that wasn't too bad

at first, but got old having people living above us. So glad to be out of there.

Golf season is upon us, this winter was really wet and cold, so didn't get to play much.

Lynn is traveling alot again, being gone for a week at a time.

This summer has turned out to be getting pretty busy. We have a wedding up in Ks.

in May, then I am flying to Phoenix to Amy's , then mom and I are driving over to Grant's

for a week, then, we will go back to Phoenix, and after a couple days, Amy, Austin, Abbi, and my

self are driving to Texas. Amy and the babes will stay thru out the month of June, spending a week up in Melvern, Ks. picking up her husband along the way in Wichita..and Lynn and I will drive to Jacksonville Fl. for my Hinschberger Reunion...then we will meet back here, and after a while longer, Amy, kids and I will drive back to Phoenix, in time for me to go back over to Grant's to help with my new granddaughter who is coming sometime in July. We are all so

excited for Avery to join our family. Then in Aug. our families will try and get up to Idaho for

my nephew Bryan Hinschberger's wedding. That should be an awsome time too.

So my summer is all planned out.

I am very excited that my babies will get to spend a month with us again...and that I get to go

out and see them all a few times. Life is good.

Dad Gourley is still receiving kemo beads shot directly into his liver, and is still doing quit well with those treatments. God has blessed us with another year with Dad G. In fact, all us Gourley's are meeting this Christmas in Kansas again...we did this 2 yrs ago...and we will do it again. Fun times. Kids want to spend as much time as they can with Grandpa. We don't know how long he will be with us, but, so far so good....He is LIVING WITH LIVER CANCER!!!!!!!

Well, guess that catch's me up for now, I will find a couple pictures to add to this post....I love showing off my babies....and my family.

A Little Something New

Wanted to share a couple new pic's I have received...and fill you in...

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. Which means, I lost my daddy 16 years ago. He died

Holy Thurs. before Easter Sunday in 1994. He is with me in my heart every single

day, and I still miss him terribly. Today, Lynn and I were going thru our old stuff

that we have trying to decide what to get rid of and what to keep...it's been in storage,

or we have moved it so many times we just don't use it...One of those things is a

very "old" transitor radio...This little thing was given to daddy by mom and us kids when

the boys and I were very young..I remember the picture of it sitting of the table in the

kitchen after he opened his gift...and it was for Fathers Day. I kept this radio all these

years, it doesn't work, the leather case around it is torn, but it was daddy's so I keep it.

Today, I gave it up.. I said to Lynn, I don't know what to do about this, and he grabbed it

from me and said I do....and headed for the trash...Boy those tears came fast...how do I

give this up. I have so many things that were daddys and I just can't give them up. But

today I gave that radio it final burial...and as I write this, again the tears flow...I love you daddy, and I miss you every single day.

Now on a cheerier note, Happy Easter to everyone. I won't be having my babies this year, but we

do get to have Mom and Dad Gourley with us, our Lisa, and possibly a friend of Lisa's named Lisa.

So I know we will have a great Easter...My mom is with Tad, thank God......our Amy and Bryan are with his family and our son Grant and Ash are with her family...So we still are with family....That's all that matters...

Here are just a couple new pic's I have...hope you enjoy them........and Happy Spring to all.

My Stay with Grant and Ashleigh March 2010

After Sister's Weekend, Grant and Ash came to Ventura and picked me up. I got to stay 8 more days with them..Amy and kids came over, so I was able to have a good baby fix. These children are my heart..and now we have another one on the way....she will join our family by July...I even got to see her in the sonogram while I was there. I miss them all already and I've only been gone 24 hrs. I love you all.

Pictures of Sister's Weekend 2010

Sister's Weekend 2010

We all met in Burbank this year, went to two tapping's of the "Doctors Show" we should be seen in at least one of them, has to do with anti-aging...Then we ate great food at The Geisha House in Hollywood, walked and shopped Hollywood, then headed for Karen's house in Ventura, where we ate great food prepared by our Cabana Boy, Chef Mark..2 great dinners, a lobster stuffed Cod, and a Fillet of Elk, so beautifully presented and so delicious...He also made us the "old" Hinschberger receipe of homemade Carmel Rolls...We went to 2 movies, shopped downtown Ventura, stopped at a bar and had drinks, and we just really enjoyed being together. Next year I am hosting the weekend at our new house...What fun!!

I Have CRS

So I have a pretty bad case of CRS (can't remember shit)!!! I couldn't remember the password to my old blog so I started a new one, but with the help of Amy and Ashleigh I have figured out how to recover my old blog.

So with that said...I am posting a link to my old blog, not only for myself but for anyone interested in reading my new and/or old blogs!! My old blog website is gourleybabies.blogspot.com. Hope you enjoy reading about my family as much as I enjoy writing about them!!
