Here on the Ponderosa I've fallen when it's been colder than a nuns toes on a ice packed ski slope and slicker than wet okra in a soapy sink. When my friends worry 'bout me fallin' out here in the middle of nowhere I just laugh 'cause in the cold months I'm padded better then the Michelin Man and simply bounce back up. Warm weather is a whole different story.
I did fall hard several summers ago when Farm Boy was outta state. It was hotter that a tire fire when I was haulin' mulch for my flower beds as I hung my Croc flippy on a rock and went down. I laid there rollin' in the dirt sweatin' like Richard Simmons to the oldies thinkin' I could lay there for days roast bakin' 'till tender in the sun and nobody would ever know. My kiddos have often joked about gettin' Mom one of those "I've fallen and can't get up thingies"....gee, 'could'a used one. I finally sucked it up and literally crawled to the house lickin' my wounds.
'Seems if there are grandkiddos involved, I'll fall to the floor faster than a speedin' ticket. Yep, give this Ozark Farm Chick a kid and I'll go down faster than a pregnant pole vaulter in lead tennis shoes. I'm usually the photographer but I've noticed most of the pictures taken of this chick, I'm crashed on the floor. It's just the way I fly!!!
When I'm with the grandkiddos I want to be present, right there in the middle where the action is and I'll fall harder than my sister's first attempt at Triple Chocolate Souffle' to get there. Bein' Grandma Muzzie makes my heart sing and my spirit soar. See me grinnin' like a mule eatin' cockeburs???
I'm well aware how abundantly blessed I am. Shoot, if I were any luckier I could sit on a fence and the birds could feed me. Isn't it wonderful to know as humans we don't have to be perfect. In life there are times we're gonna fall like a giant boulder off an overpass where the Father is immediately present with outstretched arms 'just waitin' to catch us with His unconditional amazin' love! Without Him in my life I'd be so helpless I couldn't pour the rain outta my camouflaged manure stompin' boots with a hole in the toe and directions stamped on the heel! I'm sayin'....
Well shut my mouth, God has blessed this rockin' Grandma with eight perfect grandkiddos and a heart to love each and every one like the first. I've fallen and fallen hard~ again and again. In 1977 LeBlanc and Carr sang these lyrics in their hit single, "I'm falling, woah, I'm falling , I'm falling in love with you." Just when I thought my heart was stuffed full as it could get, I found myself singin' these lyrics as each grandkiddo was added to the brood. Heck, there's even room in this overflowin' heart of mine to love God more and more each day. The heart's a miraculous organ that way.
It wasn't 'till 1980 when LeBlanc came to know Jesus that he realized the real power of love. It was then he began recordin' Christian themed music like "Say a Prayer" and "Person to Person." It's glorious when the love of grandkiddos washes over me like a warm shower and even better to feel the Heavenly Father's love saturate my very soul. This chick feels fine as creamed country gravy to know I'm loved so intensely that He will always be there for me when I'm "Falling!!!"
God bless ya'll!!!

This is beautiful! I love all of the pictures of you and your darlin' grandkids!
ReplyDeleteThose are some beautiful pictures! I swear you look like you are 29. No way do you have 8 grandkids!
ReplyDeleteYou keep being on the floor with them. They need an awesome person like you in their lives. It will help them be GROUNDED when the tough times come knowing that their grandmother is there every step of the way.
I am right there with you when it comes to our kid-lings or anyone else's babies, for that matter. Love them all.
ReplyDeleteYou are just gorgeous, Nezzy! Lookin' like a million $$$$$$$$$, baby.
Wonderful share, fabulous pictures, handsome family.
Have a beautiful eve ~
TTFN ~
Hugs,
Marydon
This was fun to read! I laughed until my sides split!!! Look forward to seeing more....
ReplyDeleteno Kidding...no joke...I did not recognize these pictures as being you....honestly, I don't know what I was thinking. I thought that you had very short hair and I was just assuming that this was a daughter/DIL with the grandchildren..
ReplyDeleteYou look simply amazing! Aging has it's way of bringing us all to our knees from time to time...
You are Blessed with a gorgeous family!
Blessings..
shug
I thought that was the little ones mama! You look so young, woman!! Wow! Must be good living...despite the falling. ;) What a gorgeous bunch of grandkids!!
ReplyDeleteYou are one pretty lady Nezzy!
ReplyDeleteLove your golden locks!
And you have some beautiful grand-kids there as well!
I see little Minnie Me there, just a spittin image of her Grandma!
Now you be careful out on the Ponderosa, we don't want our Nezzy all banged up!
But seriously, right now I worry so much about my Mom falling.
We have ice and snow and she has Parkinson's too which makes her a bit off balance at times.
Winters can be tough on the elderly so when I'm there I'm moving somewhere warm for the winter!
Hugs friend,
Cindy
Hi there, I think I have found a new best friend.I love your writing.You are wonderful and we have something in common. I seem to fall all the time and this past December 14th I fell and fractured two ribs. And also the love of grand kids I have 5 and 3 of them were definitly a surprise. I love them all.They are such a big Blessing to me. You have a wonderful evening.Hugs to you, Anna
ReplyDeleteOh Nezzy - you are one blessed woman - you'll never know. sandie
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of you with the grands, and loved singing along to the song!
I'm a 'floor sitter' too.
My mother in law finds it dis-tasteful.
She would change her mind if she ever got down on the floor and played with the grands!
Fantastic looking grands!!! That blonde lady's not half bad either.
ReplyDeleteyou don't look old enough to have those grand kids. I can't wait until I can sit in the floor with grand kids, I am also a 'floor' person.
ReplyDeleteYou are the cutest thing! And so are those beautiful Grandkiddos! I love your hair too...I wish I would have the patience to grow mine out...I also just have to laugh at your writing. I just enjoy reading your blog so much! I understand about falling, just be careful. I've fallen myself..usually outside on the ice. My best fall was when I was working...I work in surgery and we have lots of electric cords to all the equipment everywhere. The Surgeon was at the scrub sink and I was draping the patient when I tripped and hit the floor. The Doc put his head in the door to see me on the floor. He asked if I was OK because that was a really loud bang when I hit..so embarrassing. I didn't want to yell out when I hit because the patient was awake...getting ready for us to fix his hemorrhoids! Atleast he couldn't look up..or down...to see what that earthquake was!
ReplyDeleteGreat post and wonderful pictures! You look amazing! I am guilty of taking lots of photos, but I am rarely in any!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful family, Nezzy. In fact, I think I've fallen for them a little myself!
ReplyDelete;)
The pictures are adorable! No greater place to be, than in the floor with children you love! You look amazing! Are you sure you are old enough to have all these grandkids?
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I have ever heard this song. I can't believe it! I love this style and love the music! Must not have been meant to be until now.
It is so good to know, when I am falling, the arms of my Father are open and waiting to catch me and hold onto me.
xoxo
Nezzy, you are just glowing in all these pics! Your family is so lucky to have such a wonderful woman in their lives! My mother has only looked at my blog maybe three times after I've had to ask her over and over. So happy to have found you and all these kind people in blogland! I really love that song and hadn't heard it in years...thanks for the reminder. :)
ReplyDeleteEight grandkids? You don't even look old enough to have one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of all the kiddos and their Muzzie. I love the way you have expressed our heart's capacity for love and the way we fall in love all over again with each new grandchild.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteYour words are like magic Nezzy. You described a grandmothers love so perfectly! Although I am a bit worried about grandma fallin', we can't have that. Of coarse you would have all of those gorgeous grandkiddos to help you, thank God for those eight beautiful blessings!!
ReplyDeleteThe photos were beautiful! All of you.
Love Di ♥
Great pictures of a wonderful happy family, they look like they love their Grandma Muzzie loads. Thank you for sharing them,the music and your love of the Lord. Take care and God bless!
ReplyDeleteNezzy.
ReplyDeleteyour grandchildren are adorable...
And so are you. :)
God bless you too dear Nezzy! Beautiful bunch of Grandchildren and you ARE a rocking Grandma:) Have a blessed evening dear friend! Loved the song! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteYou look great.....like your hair longer. You are a hoot. Love all those sweet grandbabies.....they are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteNezzy, you are one beautiful Grandmother!
ReplyDeleteNothin' better than loving and being loved.
Loved seeing your Grands!!
Hi Nezzy! Look at all of your little darlings! You are so pretty and proudness is just oozing from your most gorgeous eyes.
ReplyDeletebe a sweetie,
Shelia;)
I thought you were the mama too! Fun post and awesome pictures. I want grandchildren so I can fall in love!
ReplyDeleteWhat an uplifting post! You are definitely one photographic chick! I hate to have pictures made of me and so there are very few around. I too am the proud owner of two beautiful and loveable grandkids. Being a grandmother is absolutely the best...next to being a child of God. Thank you for such a sweet post.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing you and your grandkids. I do know what you mean about falling for the over and over. Each one is so precious. I'll be having my 17th one come this Spring. My only daughter is having her first baby and I'm thrilled for her and for me. Another grandbabe to cherish. Life can't get much better than this.
ReplyDeletewhat a good looking crew!

A wonderful looking clan ! Nice to see more photos of you ! A young looking grandma you are ! Have a great day !
DeleteHi, Nezzy,
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, those are adorable pictures of you with your grandchildren. You're blessed, but you already knew that! ;)
Hi Nezzy Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteOh my how beautiful you are. Look at these gorgeous pics of you surrounded by love. (I have 8 little grandkidling blessings as well.) They are the best. We get to spoil them and send them home. Love it...
I love it when you write Nezzy, you make my heart happy and allow it to sing. I would so enjoy sitting on your porch and sharing a little laughter and tea. What fun.
Have a beautiful weekend sweet friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Now that's the kind of fall to take! Not like me, I missed the last step yesterday and I went crashing down. Bruised my hand and knee. AND the hubby slept right thought it 12 feet away!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and yours.
Enjoyed seeing the pictures - You are a great looking bunch. :) If I got down on the floor, it may take.......well never mind!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful family.
You are one very beautiful lady ... inside and out. You are truly blessed with so many good looking grandkids.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing the pictures - You are a great looking bunch. :) If I got down on the floor, it may take.......well never mind!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful family.
Grandmothering is definitely one of those gifts from God. I'm doing my part in spoiling my one and looking forward to the next one.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and the kiddos.
Glad you didn't hurt anything. Falling scares me since my knees are already bad. GREAT photos. WONDERFUL memories. I understand why you're grinning. Your family is BEAUTIFUL. You are blessed MORE than you know. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThose kids are just as blessed to have you as their grandmother! It's so obvious how in love with them you are when you write about them!
ReplyDeleteAnd could you be any more beautiful???!!! Love seeing pics of your gorgeous smile!!!
I used to get down on the floor with the,little ones all the time..then they grew up and I grew older..so now I only play with the dog or scrub floors whilst I am down there!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful group of grands..and I can see they love their beautiful Muzzie very much. You are all blessed!
Have a great week Nezzy:)
Those grandkiddos are just darling and I have to agree with everyone...you look like a youngster!!! You are just gorgeous and even more so when surrounded by your grandbabies.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful grandchildren - beautiful grandmother!
ReplyDeleteI love to be on the floor with my two little fellows - lego, blocks, crayons and everything else around us. Can't wait to be able to do that soon.
Oh you look so happy with your gorgeous grandkids!
ReplyDeleteSo nice seeing you with your beautiful grandchildren......you must be a proud woman......love and blessings from me darling...xxx...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful grandkids, Nezzy and you are a very attractive Granny, for a woman! I think I might hate you for it. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard that song in FOREVER!!! Need to see if hubby has it in his record stash!
Those beautiful-looking grandchildren obviously take right after their grandma!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend too, Nezzy!
XOXO Lola:)
You have a lovely family, and you must be giving them a wonderful experience of having a loving hands on grandma. This is something I am missing out on at the moment because they are in the UK and we are in France. Hopefully in the future they will be able to come and spend their summers here once we have the bedrooms to accommodate them. You looked lovely and content in the photos, by the way.
ReplyDeleteFrom love, comes love. And apparently, eight beautiful grandchildren too!
ReplyDeleteI hope to be as blessed one day.
Your Friend, m.
What? Did you say something here? I was too busy looking at those great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe song made me cry it is so beautiful. You look so young, too young to have 8 grandchildren. They are such a blessing aren't they?
ReplyDeleteOh Nezzy, your similes are simply the best. HEY! HOW ABOUT IF YOU WERE TO PUBLISH A BOOK ON YOUR SIMILES?????????????????? NOW THERE IS AN IDEA!
ReplyDeleteDarlin', you are beautiful. And those grands are going to remember you for so many virtues, but one of them will be that SMILE!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE TO YOU! Anita
I don't know how you love eight Grands all at once without your heart bursting. I have four and nearly have a love heart attack every time I see them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. PS I'm a faller too.
What a beautiful loving post! You have a way with words. Great family you have there. It we had to be perrect to be accepted, I would doomed.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, they grow so fast.
Rita
You are one beautiful Grandma!!
ReplyDeleteI see some of those falls are metaphorically speaking. And I certainly agree with the metaphoric ones . Great looking chilren with a great looking grandma.
ReplyDeleteWith such a great looking grandma, your grands had no choice but to also be beautiful. Thank goodness for dominent genes. Enjoy the abundance.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Grandma with a big heart is the most bestest thing on Earth! Love to read your posts.
ReplyDeleteSweetie, you are just oozing with love for the world you live in and our God who made it. I know how you feel. Those grands love us unconditionally, don't they. You are gorgeous, inside and out.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!
Deanna
Good looking brood of Grands Nezzy! I've got 9, 5 girls, 4 boys and 2 great granddaughters! Wouldn't take nothing for em either! XO
ReplyDeleteNezzy how wonderful for you to have eight grandkids, It must be a blast when they come to visit you. To me you look too young to even be a Grandma, as for your description of your mud slopping manure boots with a hole in the toe, I could not help but laugh, You are hilarious, every time I visit here I love it more. hugs.
ReplyDeleteNezzy, you and the grands are so photogenic. What a lovely bunch of kiddos. You look great for a grandma of eight. I remember getting down on the floor with my grands, it was a very long time ago in a far away place. Now I'm so old that if I was able to get down on the floor without breaking a hip, I wouldn't be able to get back up. You're a hoot and I love visiting here. God bless
ReplyDeleteOh Nezzy just taking a break before i go and make the beds,i have just listened to the song "falling" beautiful song and amazing pictures on the video, the person sitting on the end of the rock!! Wow what must that feel like!Love the pictures of grandchildren, mine are coming over tomorrow, i can not wait. Have a lovely weekend in what ever you do. Best wishes jackie x
ReplyDeleteaww i can hear the pride in your voice talking about them...what great pictures of you as well...and of them...i am glad you get down there and play with them..kids need that...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking bunch of kids.
ReplyDeleteSorry you got hurt in that fall. I sure like the idea that you are falling for your grand kids though
ReplyDeleteWell they sure are cute as can be! What a happy family.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos. You have a great looking family. I can see why you are so proud of those youngins'. They are an adorable bunch and they are sure crazy for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post!
ReplyDeleteNezzy,
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful pictures and how very happy you look! What wonderful blessings! I love the way you write and you always make me smile!
Have a great weekend!
blessings,
Jill
What a wonderful post, Nezzy.... Yes, with God in our lives and a fabulous family, what else could we want???? Well--let's include our fabulous blog friends in that!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have 8 grands. I just have 5 --but they are all awesome, just like yours...
Be careful and don't FALL again... I fell once a few years ago coming out of the KFC... I wasn't hurt --but was embarrassed...When we hike, I am always looking down because I do have a fear of falling... Hubby tells me that I miss out on so much when I'm looking down... ha
Have a great weekend and stay WARM.
Hugs,
Betsy
Nezzy...this is the best and funniest post I've read all day. Love your awesome way of putting things. And those beautiful grandkids of yours all look as happy as the beautiful grandma sitting with them. That speaks volumes
ReplyDeleteYou take care of yourself, Nezzy. We wouldn't want to lose you! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I followed you home. Wow. Can I say that being a Grandmother obviously agrees with you. You don't look old enough to have any grandchildren, let alone eight.
ReplyDeleteI have also taken some falls, but crawling is good exercise.
That's one young looking grandma! And a fine pack of young uns...
ReplyDeleteGreat song too!
Hi there Nezzy, You look radiant seated among these adorable grands! Yes, you are very blessed.
ReplyDeleteThe song you refer to here was popular when I was in college and I remember it well. Funny, how music reminds us of a certain time in our lives.
Always a joy to visit with you. God bless you all this weekend.
Nezzy I was asked this question many times...when pregnant with #3,#4,#5....How in the world could I truly love so many children?
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me....how could I not...lol
And now with 11 grandchildren...and more down the road...my heart never fills full...there is always room for more. I too sit on the floor with them...sometimes you will find me rolling on the floor with them also...lol
I praise God for creating us to love...and to have created in us such a beautiful organ...the heart. I love seeing your family pictures.
And PS my family has threatened me many times about the help button...the last time I fell in the mud I broke my knee cap....that was fun...dragging myself back to the house...and trailing mud everywhere...but I washed up...and drove myself to the hospital...we country gals have to take care of ourselves....lol
Hugs Cindy
Look at all those good looking grandkids! My mom keeps telling me I have NO IDEA what it's like to love a grandchild. I keep saying, isn't it kind of like loving a child? And I may have a couple of good ideas about that! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Nezzy, BIG HUGS TO YOU PRECIOUS! Thank you for visiting!!! Anita
ReplyDeleteI wish a happy and a healty weekend to all family. I think the best medicene is love to kids.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Mehmet
Gosh, I remember that song. It's a good one.
ReplyDeleteYou are a purty lady Nezzy....
That is interesting that you were in a car accident too. I neglected to say on my post that I too had many many stitches, and surgeries to FIX the lacerations on my forehead.
You certainly are glowing, like a true grandma, in those pictures with your grands.
Nothing makes my heart swell like getting hugs from my grandkids and kisses and laughs...you know the kind of stuff of which I am talking.
I thank God every day for my family....ALL OF THEM.
And I thank God for our extended "human family"...friends, associates, people like YOU who just , each day, try to make the world a happier place for people.
Oh Nezzy, you look like you are in your glory with all those precious grandchildren surrounding you! Their smiles say it all, they love their grandma!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to see me!
Hugs,
Nancy
My goodness Nezzy you are one blessed soul! That family is perfectly beautiful! I saw your comment about your MIL and Angel at Jenny Matlock. I am already praying harder. I still pray daily for that sweet Angel! But my heart has been heavy about her lately so I need to increase my praying time. God Bess You and keep in posted. Hugs Anne
ReplyDeleteGreat post, love reading your stuff, and all of your photos today and the best kind of fun. Those kids are so cute and you aren't so bad yourself. I see you clean up well. ;)
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and all those grandkiddos.
What a sweet looking bunch of kids! Looks like there is lots of love at grandma's house! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy weekend Nezzy!
so Catherine
Loved this sweet post! You have a beautiful family!
ReplyDeletehave a fab weekend!
xo, misha
Great pictures!!! They all look well loved. :)
ReplyDeleteValentine's were delivered today!
Melinda
What contentment on your face and the happiness on those children's faces. Good job on life and living!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend........
Your grandchildren are beautiful souls. I've fallen off a horse...does that count?
ReplyDeleteKinda funny; picturing you "literally" licking your wounds on the way to the house.LOL
ReplyDeleteSuper, super, super cute....It's easy to see why you want to be in the middle of all of that sweetness. :)
Yup! Blessed grands! And I'm not supposed to tell anyone on the internet... but if anyone I know finds it here it will truly be a miracle... I am gettin' myself another one on Sunday!!!! YIPPEE! That will make 4 (FOUR!) and two steps that are fairly new to the whole game also! So yes, I am blessed!
ReplyDeleteYours are just darn cute and I bet they taste pretty sweet when ya kiss 'em!
Thanks for comin' on over and visitin' my abandoned blog every once in a blue moon while I'm off in a fog....
(huggers)
Love this post!! And thanks for visiting with me the other day, I am just getting the ol' fingers a movin' somewhat around the keyboard to stop by and say howdy'all!!
ReplyDeleteI noticed you may be falling faster than a speedin' bullet to get down where the action is with the grandkids...but the thing I notice more [other than the wonderful smiles on each and everyone of you] is that you're barefooted in one photo!!!--------that's my kinda gal!!!
I love this song...
ReplyDeleteYou have beautiful grandchildren. I agree with you about being present. When my granddaughter comes over I get down and play with her. I don't remember making such an effort with my own kids. I loved that falling in love song too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What precious blessings from the Lord! Our God is so very Great!
ReplyDeleteLove to hear you haven't fallen for real. The pictures with your beautiful grand children are lovely! You deserve all of the love in your heart!
ReplyDeletexoxo
SC
Oh I can't blame you one bit. You have such a lovely family and those gorgeous kidlets have such a beautiful, youthful grandma.
ReplyDeleteJudging by your pictures, You are beautiful Nezzy, and so are your grandkids.
ReplyDeleteAs for falling - that's no laughing matter at any age. Hope you never fall except ...falling in love.
Hi there, Every time I stop by I laugh with all your fun sayings so I'm fallin for your blog and following you now. Of course, I've taken a couple of spills myself and also have 9, soon to be 10 grands, so we have much in common besides of love for Jesus.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you.
Noreen
You are so right. There is nothing like Grandchildren. I LOVE this post! And with each one it is a love just like they are the first. And where would we be without our Lord?
ReplyDeleteGreat post! And you are very blessed to have all eight of those grands... great pictures! I am sure they think you are one cool grandma... getting down and playing with them.. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% with you, nothing like grand kids to bring a grandma to her knees flat on the floor. You have a nice bunch of grand kids. You are such an upbeat kind of grandma, it's no wonder the grandkids love you so. JB
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always such a joy to read!! I love the pics of your beautiful family. And you are one gorgeous grandma!!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed Sunday, my lovely friend!
Love it! I would fall on the floor with any of those cuties any day!
ReplyDelete:-)

I love the flowery phrases that flow in your post and the message When I fall? God has truly Blessed us. Thanks again for visiting Kitty Justice. Remember to vote for Kitty for President.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, Nezzy. Perfect for a winter Sunday morning in Idaho. Love the song; I had never heard it before.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
what a great bunch o' love you just shared there. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Nezzy honey your just beautiful inside and out. I loved seeing you with your precious grand babies.
ReplyDeleteThey do make us fall hard don't they?
I hope you have a wonderful week.
Love ya
Maggie
Eight grandkids? YOU are so darn blessed....if we could all be so lucky...
ReplyDeleteI will remember to wear a helmet and knee pads to not hurt myself so much.
Bee good Nezzy!
xoxoxoxo
What a great bunch of grandkiddos you've got! I'd be fallin' too.
ReplyDeleteYou have such cute grandkids! You look too young to be a grandma! Enjoy your week and stay warm...some wintry, snowy weather is moving into Missouri Monday!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to read a post from your grandkids about YOU. I'm guessing they'd be telling us that you're the greatest grandma EVER!
ReplyDeleteYou and your family are beautiful through and through.
xo jj
I love that you're down on the floor playing with the kids. You're a great grandma!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, and so are you!
ReplyDeleteI can see all the love in the photos. And I know your joy with my tribe of grand-kids too.We are both truly blessed.
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering why you haven't been "showing up" on my blogroll. Somehow, I was no longer your "follower". What? This has happened a few times on other blogs. Boo! I almost missed you rolicking on the floor with those adorable grandchildren. I can't wait to have a few!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
Best,
Bonnie
Nezzy - love the pictures of you and the grandkids! The floor is the best place to be with kids! Happy Valentine's Day to YOU!
ReplyDeleteYou are just plain wonderful, do you that? :) Your family is so blessed to have you in their midst. :)
ReplyDeleteYikes. Falling regular is not good. My nemesis is the icy path to the bird feeders.
ReplyDeletebeautiful grandchildren and beautiful grandma! I have 7 grandchildren and they are all so precious. I"m very blessed.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these pics of you and your grands, you are so beautiful...and I am just like this, when I am around my grands I can always be found on the floor with them in my lap or arms..tickling and doing our tricks together..I hardly even listen to the grown ups talking, my focus is the little one! ;D
ReplyDeleteNezzy, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your nice comment about my little quilt.
ReplyDeleteI surely enjoyed this post, getting to "meet" you; you're so young!
God is good!
You are truly blessed, Nezzy. Love seeing you and all your grands. I can see why you are falling all the time. LOL! Grandkids are the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and commenting on my blog.
ReplyDeleteGotta love a Grandma that gets on the floor with the kids!
Dear Nezzy, You look way too young to be grandma to 8 kids. And you're as much of a blessing as you are blessed! No falling allowed if there's pain involved. Otherwise, keep doing everything you're doing. It's working for ya!
ReplyDeleteHugs from the California Coast.
xoRobyn
WOW~ look at you, gorgeous lady! I enjoyed seeing these pictures of you, especially with your adorable grandkids!
ReplyDeleteLove that song, but now I'll be singing it all day! ;)
You lucky lady...being able to sit with your sweet Grandchildren. Looks like a very special time for all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a love filled post, it made me feel better just reading it. Your grandkiddo's are just beautiful ... as are you, gorgeous lady! :o)
ReplyDeleteI know what falling feels like, and I don't wish it on anyone. Grab hold and hang on, Nezzy.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly blessed, Nezzy. You have so many precious grandkids to love and I bet you are the coolest grandma!...Christine
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post my friend...your grandchildren are beautiful and are so lucky to have you at their level!!!! Hugs and happy day after Valentines...I have enough love left over to pass it out all month long. xoxoxoox
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by Nezzy! You sure do have the cutest little grandkids! Lucky you! I hope spring comes early for you this year. I wish I could send you some of our heat.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful bunch of grand children, Nezzy! Your grand daughters look just like you. Have a wonderful day and enjoy those sweet children.
ReplyDeleteNezzy you are blessed with your wonderful grandkids, you all look so beautiful and happy!
ReplyDeleteHi Nezzy, it's so nice to meet you...You have a wonderful blog..I love your way of talking girlfriend....
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren are beautiful....Aren't they one of the best gifts God gives to us....I have thee and I love them to pieces....I often tell them I am going to eat them with a spoon cause I love them so much.....
I can tell you are a jewel and I'lll be back.....
I loved seeing you with that fine gaggle of youngin's. (I'm not sure I have the lingo yet but I'm trying.) You are indeed blessed!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Julie

Nezzy, What lovely pictures of you and your grandchildren. How lucky they are to have such an amazing woman to love them. The heart is an amazing organ...you make mine happy. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you and thanks for the visit. I am from Missouri but hubby and I just moved down here to Arkansas and love it! A little change is good I suppose! huggles a million my Ozarky friend!
ReplyDeleteYou have amazing way with words. Reading your post gave me a smile. We fall down but we can certainly get back up again.
ReplyDeleteAw, I love all the photos!!
ReplyDeleteDon't have grandkids yet, but everyone says it's the best, and you certainly look fab and happy.
ReplyDeleteI remember that fear of laying out in the pasture for days. I won't ever know about grandkids but will just watch others enjoy theirs from afar. God bless you and yours.
ReplyDeleteI always get a laugh when I come over here. Even when you write about the most tender things...like grandkids. But mostly, I like to think of sitting on the porch with you, having an ice tea, and swapping stories.
ReplyDeleteHey Nezzy you are one pretty cool Grandma!!!
ReplyDeleteNezzy, I have always thought of you as a beautiful person..and definitely cute personality wise..etc..but these photo's of you with your grands ...you are a really beautiful woman! I am so glad you posted them. It's just so nice to SEE you. You have blessed me with your friendship and I treasure it so much!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Mona

ReplyDeleteI have the Matthew Mead Christmas book too & love it! So fun you won it from Koralee,,,she lives very close to me...about 3 miles as the crow flies!
I really like your hair in the pic with the grand kiddies! So cute!
I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week & get lots of gramma time!...Take care & God bless!
Oh! I remember those "I've fallen and I can't get up" commercials! Do they still make those beepers?
ReplyDeleteI love the way you took us through all the *other* kinds of falling though. Falling in love with family! :) Your grandkids are beautiful, and they look so happy!
Me again!
ReplyDeleteHope you all have lovely weekend!
XOXO Lola:)

Oh look at you and the Grand Kids...I love it! Very cute pics...and you adorable too...now don't fall!
ReplyDeleteI used to love that song...don't hear it enough any more...thanks!
It is so neat to see a granny's heart so full of love. I feel that way about my own nieces and nephews, I can't imagine what it is going to be like when I have grandkids :) Blessings, Jackie
ReplyDeleteWonderful post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all the photographs. :)
What a beautiful bunch of blessings! Are you sure you are old enough to be a Grandma?:0
ReplyDeleteAren't we the blessed ones to have such beautiful, smart, sweet, funny, adorable grands!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna be right in the middle of all 10 of mine, too. :))
xoxo bj
I think those Grandlittles keep you young! Mine certainly try...but dang if the years don't nab me anyway!
ReplyDeleteYou are just such a neat person! I love coming to visit you!
I laugh, sometimes I cry, and I feel like we shared our hearts over many miles.
What a blessing you are to so many!
I think we have all fallen for you! I know i have! For real!
Nothing better than an armful of babies!
ReplyDeleteI adore that you play ON THE FLOOR with your grandkids. We have a grandma who does that and she ROCKS.
ReplyDeleteI love pictures of grandmothers with their grandkids. The grandmas always look so happy -- never more beautiful. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteDear Nezzy,
ReplyDeleteYOUR THE BEST!!! Thank you so much for you last comment on my blog!
I laughed really hard when I read this "it's been colder than a nuns toes on a ice" and I just can't stop laughing again. . . You have the best way with words. I can feel your joy! Thank you so much for spreading it around :)
xoxo, Lisa
HI Nezzy, Yo have a passel of gorgeous Grands! I'd be falling for them, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by my blog. I didn't think anyone out there knew I existed! :) I love your blog! How fun. you have beautiful grandchildren! I think I'd be falling for them too!
ReplyDeleteNothing quite like a rousing fall from the pinnacle of a grandmother's heart. Thank God love bounces!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly don't look like a grandma!
ReplyDeleteNO WAY are you a grandma!! You look much much too young - wow! You are gorgeous!! Must be the weather! :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww your grandkids are beautiful - each one just perfect!
Take care

You have discovered the secret to being a wonderful grandma. I always love to visit you as your phrasing is just smile inducing.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, falling is so tough and it hurts! You are blessed to have 8 grandkiddos!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog! Thank you for visiting mine!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst time here and LUV YA!!! You are worse (if there's such a thing!) than I am...always in the midst of the grandkiddos while the "grown-ups" sit around & chat!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteSuch a precious post - - - about your grandkids and about our Father's LOVE for us. You had a good lead-in, too.
ReplyDeleteDo you teach any women's Bible Studies? You have great illustrations and "hooks" to get people interested.
I just have to ask. The way you talk/write, that's just put-on, right? you don't really talk like and say those over-the-top corny things for real, yes? You are a comedian maybe? Just wondering. Perhaps you do stand-up somewhere? You seem like a dad-gum happy person I must say.
