A Grell Tale

We are so glad you have taken time to check in on our lives. First and foremost, God is the author of this story. Every thing we do, say, and have is His.
Jared and I have been together since 1998, and married since 2003. After four long years of trusting God, he blessed us on August 1, 2009. Balen James is the most "perfect-for-us" little man in the world! We LOVE being parents and just can't get enough of him.
I love to spend time sharing our story with you, and I truly enjoy getting to hear your comments as well! We hope you enjoy watching our family grow. Thanks for stopping by.

Smokin' Hot Pepper Man!

Here's our little chili pepper! Don't you just want to squeeze those fat cheeks! Jared said he looks like an OU Sooner Mermaid with Seaweed on his head! I think that's stretching it a little. I'm quite proud of my little pepper. I would bet money that he's the only little pepper around for miles. That's what I was shooting for. I wanted a costume that everyone else didn't have. We were talking to Josh and my cousin Ashley, and all of our kids are food items this year. We have a pepper, hotdog, mustard, and a cupcake for dessert. I wish we were all closer so we could get them together to take pictures.
GiGi took her first graders to the pumpkin patch on Thursday. She saw this little pumpkin growing in the field and had to have it for Balen. It's just his size. So cute!

It's nice to have a beautiful day to be outside with my boys. It's been a rough week. Jared has been home sick, then I caught it. We have both been to the doctor and have sinus infections. Grandpa Harvey also had to go into the hospital. His heart is failing and there isn't much they can do. Yesterday they were giving him a few hours to a few days to live so Jared took us to visit him. It was so nice see him talking and telling stories. At the same time, my amazing mother has been home taking care of Mema. She was put in the nursing home yesterday. This in itself is a huge thing for all of us. My mom has worked so hard getting her room all ready and getting her situated while my dad is spending time with Grandpa. I still have all four of my wonderful Grandparents and it is hard to see them struggling. I have had so many fun times with them and have tons of memories to cherish forever. I love them all so much!
