YES....and isn't everyone glad?

Hehe...love it! I didn't realize your granddaughter was half-grown! I thought she was much younger. I bet she has the coolest granny in school!

She's 14! The absolute worst age! Sometimes I wish she was "little" again. She was my baby diva. When we traveled, we carried a bag full of nothing but hair bows and ribbons.

This was a trip to Graceland. She was almost 3.

Carlene,

Nice pictures. Your granddaughter looks just like you. I bet you look at her and see you all over again.

What a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing !!!!

You all look great! I think your granddaughter is beautiful.

Except when she gets THAT attitude (you know the one I mean). Then I look at her and see her mother all over again. LOL

My husband and I used to run a group home. We had lots of 14 year old girls. We used to call 14 the "arsenic year". Tough for boys, worse for girls.

Yeah....if they won't take it, eat some yourself.

Every once in a blue moon (especially holidays) my daughter (Cheyenne's mom) makes some comment about "getting my daughter back". It's just talk, and I know that - probably her guilty conscience talking. But it still pisses me off. This past week the gesture was, "If she weren't so spoiled at your house, I might stand a chance of getting my daughter back." I should send her to her mom's house for Christmas break, don't 'ya think? Might do both of them a world of good.

Carlene, your pictures are beautiful!

Wow! carlene you look great! cant wait till i'm as slim as you.

Congrats...what a lovely looking family you have!

becky

Carlena merry christmas and a happy new year to you and your family, a beautifil one at that. Congrats on doing a superb job ,losing your weight, you look wonderful, I hope this works for me as sucessful as you ,but I am still cheating a little I am 3 weeks into banded life and have lost 8 lbs. I feel I must do a lot better. I feel very good and don't even feel like I had surgery, but my DR. said I did and I will only get a fill when I dont show any weight loss. is this true? I have a long way to go, I see my Dr. on Jan. 5 again. Take care best wishes from Makemelean

I don't do pictures...they steal a bit of your soul each time.:tired

Thanks for the heads-up. I knew something had stolen George Bush's soul. Evidently it was all those photo ops.
