Maw, glad Papa is feeling better. We had fun at Caden's party. You'll have to check out his page of his party. Love, Blair
TGIF
Update from my noon visit to the hospital, they are going to do a Doppler test on J W Tuesday, at Crosbyton and then on Wed a Cat Scan at Lubbock of his stomach area. He is feeling some better than he was yesterday, proably all the TLC he is getting from the nurses.
Someone give Caden a hug for us and tell him we said. Happy Birthday. Wish we could be there!!!!, Maw
Hey all...Yeah it's Friday!!! We are having a birthday party for Caden tonight at his new house. He turned 4 yesterday.

Well, hope everyone has been able to enjoy the new live chat so far. I'm thinking about designating a couple of nights a week to have lots of get on so we all know when someone else is on there. I will keep the live chat up all the time, but maybe a couple of nights for several us to get on there would be better.

Maw, hopefully Papa J will get to feeling better soon.

James, tell us how the football game was last weekend.

Susan and Aunt Peg, tell us how the play was last weekend.

Love all, Blair

Hey family
New update.........Took J W to see Dr Alley this morning at 8:30 and he put him in the hospital. Lab work all looked okay except elavated blood count. Chest xray did not show anything different. Urine checked out okay. He is running a low grade of fever for 2 or 3 days now and is nauseous and won't try to eat, weak and dizzy. Anyway, they are hooking him up to IV to give him his meds that way and let his stomach rest and do a blood profile or study which will take a couple of days or so. Maybe they can make him feel bettr just being up there. He gets so worried about himself at home and that makes it worse. His cartoon is really cute Blair, I tried to get him to come look at it this morning but he didn't even feel up to it so he will see it later. Later.....Maw
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CADEN!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!

I am so sorry I did not get Caden's card in the mail in time fo r him to have it today....Someone please tell him Happy Birthday from us...and I hope he has a wonderful day today...

love,
kittie
HAPPY, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CADEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mailed you a card yesterday so it will be late but maybe you will get it in time for your party Friday. Took J W to orthro doc Tuesday and he said his shoulder problem is arthritis causing impingement syndrome (pinching).The bursa or tendons become swollen and reduce space squeezing the soft tissue painfully against the bone.He could do surgery and debride to make more room but said it would proably come back in time. He is going to try therapy first, here at Crosbyton PT and see if that will help. Right now his stomach is all upset from taking pain meds for so long. He started leaving them off yesterday and taking Tylenol only but he is not in good shape this morning. May have to get him app with Dr. Alley today, if possible.Poor thing, he is having a terrible time. Sorry Brock is sick too. Hope Stormy is getting back to normal!!!!We had a terrible storm front roll through last night (cold front). Got to get to work, Maw

Hello All!
Please check out my blog for pics of Kate's room that her Daddy worked so hard on this week end! Take care.
Betsy
Hey family
This is strange but I seem to have more time at work now than I do at home to check the Blog. Worked all weekend rearranging bedrooms, moving a daybed from front bedroom to Ryan's room. Kittie came over after church and helped me set it up. She was going home to do some of the same stuff to rearrange Boston's room and closet. Now after reading Jared's blog, I would say we are a working bunch! Jared, the dresser sounds beautiful and something I know you and Betsy are really proud of. You are true to Gowens tradition, get an idea, jump in and get her done right then!!!!! We are so happy for ya'll getting to fix and plan for this new little baby girl. Just hope Betsy is feeling okay. J W is no better with his shoulder so I called the Lubbock doc office this morning and they are going to see him 2:15 tomorrow. Maybe he can come up with another treatment plan. The injection did not help at all. I feel so sorry for him. It has just put his life on hold (and mine too).Hope everyone got back home okay (the ones that were gone) Have not talked to anyone yet. That's all for now, back to work to earn my pay ha ha ha ha. Maw

Hello all! Betsy and I first and foremost want to thank everyone for the kind words. We feel blessed to have a great family that cares for us. Betsy and I have had a long weekend getting some things done for my little girl. We, of course, the Gowens way could not wait until January to do her room. It had to be done now! :)
Betsy's mom flew into town on Friday and suprised her mom with the news of Kate. Then they went to a few places shopping for her bedding and such. On Saturday Betsy and her mom went to do a whole lot of more shopping while I painted Kate's room Pink! And no, its not pepto pink!
Betsy picked out a great chandelier along with curtains and new knobs for a dresser of Betsy's grandmothers that I re-did! It is very special to us being that it is a family heirloom passed down, plus something that I did with my own two hands. I also installed a dimmer light complete with a couple of minor shocks! :) Not to worry, I am O.K! I think!

Kittie, Betsy and I think having a shower down there would be great! Please let us know what you need us to do and what date you would like to do this. Thank you very, very much for offering to do this. That really touched Betsy very much to know that you guys care that much! We love you guys. Take care! Jared and Bets!
hey everybody....Gary Lee Happy Birthday. Hope you had fun in Houston with James at the football game. It was an exciting game huh?

Susan, hope you and Aunt Peg had fun at the Lion King play.

Kittie, glad ya'll enjoyed the Gary cartoon.

Just wanted to stop in and say that I had a blast last night with Maw, Jay, and Blair on the "Live Chat." I don't think I've (as in just me without James) ever had the opportunity to just enjoy the Gowens'. Ya'll made me laugh harder than I've laughed in a while!!! Hopefully I'll get to join in on some other chats, and maybe we can get more involved next time.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Love ya' lots, God Bless,
Shavonne

Saturday, September 22, 2007

Hi Kittie.. . Tress here! Thanks for the sweet comments about my new business. I'm continuing my present work with Derms and Plastic Surgeons, but wanted to get something started that could add another outlet for my creative juices! I do that from midnight til sunup, LOL! I'm so proud of you about being the opening singer for the Tech Volleyball games. Really impressive! Would you be able to have someone record it and we could have Blair upload it on the site? I'd love to be there in person to hear you! I just had a weird blast from the past memory while bloggin- (remember your mom shouting at us at the Cornelius's house- "Kittie, lower your booming-voice!" Well this is the time to let it ring-out girl!

Love,
Tress
Blair,

Loved your Walk Across Texas pictures and also the pics of your office!! Thanks for sharing...I will try to get on the live blog sometime soon....
Love to all,
kittie

Friday, September 21, 2007

Yeah hopefully we will get more people on here to do live chat. Anytime your on, especially in the evening see if anyone is on there.
Blair
Congrats to Jared and Betsy!! Your little girl will become such a blessing in your life just like mine have been in my life....

Love,
Kittie
CONGRATULATIONS !! Jared and Betsy. Wow Kate Elizabeth will have two wonderful parents. Little girls turn into wonderful women, you will be very blessed. Sorry I missed the first live chat. Hope everyone is doing fine, I will not be checking the website till Monday so until then Have a Wonderful Weekend. Love, Susan
Jared and Betsy, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know the two of you must be thrilled! I know that when Brock was confirmed to be Brock, it helped us bond much better with him. Betsy I hope you are still feeling well, good job on keeping up with your exercise. I think that's what helped me through my pregnancy, delivery, and recovery. . .too bad I haven't kept up with it afterward! :)

Hope everyone is well.

Blair, I heard the live chat was great last night. I was getting Brock ready and down for the night so I missed out. Maybe I can get in on one soon.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

God Bless,
Shavonne
Hey Family
To Jared & Betsy, I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am to hear you are having a baby GIRL! This is so great! I thought you might get on the live chat last night and I could tell you there. Little Kate Elizabeth ! I am so thrilled!!!!!! Just got on this morning to see if ya'll left us all a message. The live chat was fun Blair, after I figured out how to do it. Takes me awhile.Love to all, Maw

Thursday, September 20, 2007

Yes first night on live chat was great. James, Maw, Eletia, Jay and Blair talked. Woohooh!!
Get on here.
Blair
Check out the new live chat room. Love, Blair
Well, I took the personality quiz and. . .surprise, surprise- I have multiple personalities!!! I am Blue, nearly, Gold and nearly Green. Yep, of course that's what it would show.

Anywho, glad everyone seems to be doing well. With the constant weather changes around here we've bounced from allergies to a cold, which is always fun.

Blair, I too am super anxious to make it back down there. Hopefully everyone can make it for Brock's birthday party (hint, hint) so you all can see our home!!!

Betsy and Jared. . .I will be waiting on pins and needles! Betsy, did you get my e-mail with the information you asked about? If you need anything else just let me know, either e-mail or call! I have no problem discussing this with you if it's something you are interested in.

Ok, I'm writing at work so I really better get. I need to go work or rather, I need to go do other people's work.

Take care, we send our love, and I just added new pictures on Brock's webpage.

God Bless,
James, Shavonnne, and Brock-man

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

Oh my gosh, I love the communication. I'm so excited don't know what to do with myself. All this stuff going on, gotta send me some pics. okay!!!!

Also, Papa J, keep positive. You will feel better. Get up and do the walks that you've done. Not as far, but exercise is like a magic pill. Also, I have it on my calendar last week and got sick over weekend with sinus, completely forgot to say Happy Birthday Papa J. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Aunt Peg, tell us what's up????

Everybody, thanks so much for the nice things. Love you all.

Gary and James, tell us about the game. Pics???? Susan, you sweet thing, I can't wait hug you!!!!

Kittie, can't wait to hug you either. We're working on Gary Dale's cartoon. Sorry we slacked off on getting some new cartoons. But more will come. Also, awesome, Kittie, that you are singing National Anthem at Tech Volleyball games. Go Kittie...... You know the lady that sang at the basketball games, Terri Hawkins, that quit now I know because she was an attorney there in LUbbock when I did the CPS thing. You need to do Lady Raider games too. Okay, yes, that gives me another reason to come see everybody.

James and Shavonne, wow Brock is almost 1!!!!! Little Halloween Boy!! Love him to pieces.
We have a very special room for ya'll when you come again. Me and Jay are just waiting for the day that ya'll call up and say we are coming.

Maggie and crew, Megan, Jill, and everyone else, come on down.

I am so proud of my family!!!!! Everyone of you..

Hey big possibility!!! We are working on trying to work on a live chat in the website once a week or so.....Stay tuned.

Oh yeah, I'm blue, and almost green.

Love, Bear
I took the color test and I am Gold! The web site is great, Blair and we love you for all your hard work. This weekend Gary and James are going to Houston to See the Texans and Colts play football. They are both very excited. Peggy and I are going to see the Lion King play since I will be home alone. The trip to Houston is Gary 52nd Birthday present.
Yes we are remodeling. We bit the bullet and refinanced so put on seamless siding and turned our garage into a den. Our family is growing and my living room is shrinking.
We leave for our cruise on October 6th and we are all really excited. Gary and I would rather cruise than anything else. We have been on several and this will be Pegs first. I know we will have a great time and will have lots of pic to share.
Hope JW's new treatment will help the pain. It's so miserable to be in pain. I have had my share of bad pain and it is no fun.
We will be anxious to hear from Betsy and Jared today!!
Love to all, Susan
Hey Family,

Hope everyone is well....Blair, I took your test and I am a BLUE....It was very interesting...

Boston continues to do well in his new school, although, he did tell me yesterday that he does miss going to school over here too...I'm sure he is missing some of his friends...
Maggie has her first doctor's appointment Friday. She has been very frustrated in finding a doctor because Covenant no longer accepts Blue Cross coverage and that is what they have...It has been a really big deal around here for the past month or so. Anyway she finally found a practice that she felt comfortable with and so she will be delivering at UMC.
I have been asked to sing the National Anthem at the Lady Raiders Volleyball game next week and I am very excited about that...I have always wanted to sing in the Spirit Arena. The guy in charge of the music wants me to audition to sing at one of the basketball games and I MIGHT depending on how I do next week...I think I should start out with the volleyball game (not as many people)...Anyway, I will let you know if I totally screw up or not!!! hahaha....
Peggy told me that Gary and Susan are remodeling their house...That is so exciting...I love home improvement...can't wait to see it...Susan, let us know how it is going...
Peggy, Gary and Susan are also going on a cruise around the 6th of October...that should be a lot of fun....
Ok, guess that is all I know for now...
love to all,
kittie
Hey Family
Took J W to the doctor appointment yesterday at Lubbock (orthro) and the doctor was just sure he had a tear in rotator cuff but he looked at the MRI report and it stated that there was no visible tear so he said he would start with giving him an injection in the shoulder, which he did after freezing it and then the shot with a really mile long needle (ouch). He said if that did not take care of it to call his office back and he would tell him what he was going to do next. He did go ahead and set up a follow up appointment for 3 weeks, when he is back in Crosbyton Clinic again. His shoulder seems to be better this morning. He thinks some of it is a different type pain and some might be from the injection site ??Don't know yet. Anyway he really did like this doctor and hopefully he can help him.Later, Maw

Monday, September 17, 2007

Hey Blair, and everyone else!!! Yes, we are alive and well here. Sorry I've been slacking so bad, I haven't even been keeping Brock's page updated as much as I'd like to. My goal is to get new pictures posted by the end of the week so stay tuned for that!!!

Glad to hear that Blair and Jay, and The McGaughy's got settled into their new homes. I can't wait for the three of us to go back that way and see them!

Jared and Betsy, I CAN'T wait to hear about the sono! I know that you've really enjoyed getting to hear the heartbeat, but you'll never forget what it's like to really see your child for the first time!!! I can still remember the look on James' face like I make belly was all jellied up yesterday!

Maw, sorry to hear the JW is still having so much trouble. I will pray that he will get an appointment soon and the doctors can give him an answer/solution to his problem.

Like I said, we are doing well just busy busy. Our upcoming "adventure" is Brock's 1st birthday!!!. . .don't worry, you'll all be getting invitations weather you can make it or not!!! I can't believe the little booger is going to be one. It makes me smile and tear up at the same time! Ok, enough! I better get.

Hope everyone is doing well. Kittie, sounds like your schedule is crazier than ours. Try not to over do it.

God Bless,
James, Shavonne, and Brock
Hey....Forgot to post HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO J.W. YESTERDAY!!

Hope you enjoyed your puddin'......

Hope all is well....been busy, busy with work...The oldest grandson of one of the lady's that works for my new boss was killed in an auto accident near Tahoka late Friday night, so I pitched in over the weekend to help with her work...Seems like since Boston has been gone my work has more than doubled...guess God knows I need to be busy...

more later...
love,
kittie

Thursday, September 13, 2007

Hey Everyone.......Susan, you have a smokin' body. I just love watching you do the Electric Slide. You go!!!

Maw, me and Jay are thinking and praying for Papa. I really hope he gets some comfort really soon.

Yeah, Stormy is doing good!!! I knew she would. Mom (Eletia) called me at lunch time on Wednesday to tell me she was doing well. Yes!!! Glad she is good!!

Betsy, yes, this uncle is excited and always asking Jared everytime I talk to him, when's the appointment. Can't Wait!!

April and Zac are moved in. The house looks great. Jared, Zac and Dad (Mike) and April have done a lot on that house and wow it looks great. Caden showed me his room tonight when me and Jay helped Zac and Dad get the fridge in. I'm so proud for them.

Shavonne, James and Brock where are ya'??? Love ya. Need to hear from yall. Okay, craving to see Brock again. Hehehe. Seriously!!!

Kittie and crew, whats goin on????? How's Boston doing in school in Lubbock??
Megan, how you doing in college????

Aunt Peg, you better get your self on here and say how you're doing. Only cause I love you...


Love all of you special little people!!
Blair and Jay
hello everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. Just wanted to tell everyone in case they don't read my blog that we are finding if we are having a boy or girl September 20th. Stay tuned!
Betsy
Hey Family
Thanks Eletia for calling to check on Stormy and J W yesterday. Talked to Brandon last night and Peggy this morning and Stormy seems to be doing okay. Hopefully she will feel better in a few days. Took J W to the appointment they had set up for him, at the clinic here yesterday at 1:30. When we got there we were told, Oh that doctor was here this morning and has already gone back to Lubbock. They said we could go home and call his office and see what they wanted us to do??????Took him back home and called and was told that his name was never on their list of appointments for Crosbyton.Don't know who did not do their job but now we are waiting to see when he could see this doctor at his Lubbock office. It may be a month before he can get in. This is so crazy!!!!!!!In the meantime, he is still in pain and on pain meds. He is really getting discouraged.
Eletia, sorry you are not getting back to par real fast. I pray that one morning you will wake up and be able to say, Wow, I really do feel better this morning.
Are April and Zac going to try to move this weekend?? Hope everyone is doing okay, Jared & Betsy, James & Shavonne, Maggie & Kraig, Megan Lee, Blair & Jay, you know, just everyone.Later, Maw

Wednesday, September 12, 2007

Hey Blair, Can you really give me that body!!!
Just a quick note to let everyone know that Stormy's surgery went fine. The doctor said her tonsils were really bad. She was a little mad at all of us, but that is to be expected. She will stay in the outpatient surgery until around PM to make sure everything is fine. She went into surgery at 8AM and was in recovery by 8:35. Thanks for all the support of our little baby girl. I printed out the well wishes for Stormy's baby book. Love, Susan

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

Hey Stormy and family
We all will have you in our thoughts and prayers tomorrow. I know you can not read all of the sweet messages left here on the blog for you but maybe your Nana can tell you about them. We all love you so very much baby girl and just know you will get well soon and then feel so much better. I'm sure you will be in good hands as all the doctors and nurses will fall in love with you.
Love, Maw Papa and Ryan

Monday, September 10, 2007

Stormy, your in my thoughts too. Love you sweetie. You will do great and feel so much better. Hi Aunt Susan, can't wait to see ya'll again too. Congrats to James and Gary Lee on winning fantasy football.
Love, Blair
Stormy, sure do hope all goes well for you Wednesday. I know you will do great. Get ready for popsicles and ice cream. We love you and wish you the very very best. Eletia
I hope that Stormy's surgery goes well Wednesday. We will definitely be thinking of her. If she is having a lot of trouble because of them then she should really feel alot better without them.

love to all,
kittie

Sunday, September 9, 2007

Blair and Jay just love your house. Can't wait till Gary and I can come to see ya'll. I know April and Zac are getting real excited also. Not much going on this week end. We have had a very restful and football filled day. Looks like Gary and James will win their first fantasy football game this week. Everyone pray for Stormy on Wdnesday the 12th. She will have her tonsils and adnodes out. Don't know what time yet, the hosptial will call Jill on Tuedsay night. Also check in on Brock's website. Our baby boy is really growing. Love to everyone out there. Susan
Hey Everybody...Thanks Maw and Kittie for welcoming us home and back on the web. Yeah, I loved how I got you dancing Maw. Our patio faces the north. We have solar panels on all the windows too. Should be very efficient with heating and cooling. I have one of those water softener dispensers like you do Maw on your kitchen sink. Really cool. Every time I drink out of it, I think of you. Ahhh, okay everybody don't get teary eyed on me. Sorry Papa is still hurting. Maybe the pain will start to get better with time. Love, Blair
Hey,

Blair and Jay....LOVE YOUR NEW HOME!!! It is very nice and I know ya'll are must be very proud...I would love to come and see all of you...

Also, Love Ma dancing!!! Very cute!!

love to all,
kittie
Hey Web Master and All
I am so glad you are back. Missed you!!Your new house is awesome. I am so happy and proud for you both. Looks like you just about have it all together. I can see in the future that you will be building a patio cover. Is your patio on the West, East, North or South??Not important, just wondered how much sun you will be getting in the evening.Hey, Right-On, with me doing the twist. I don't know how you do that but it is jst too cute. Thanks you for thinking of me. Made my day. J.W. is still in pain and not able to do much for himself. I got him in Ryan's big shower yesterday morning and shampooed him and scrubbed him all over. He said it was wonderful and I told him I proably created a monster. Ha.We have had rain yesterday and today. The Sunday morning newspaper got wet so I have it spread out to dry. Did see where Fay Mooneyham and John Criswell died. Do you remeber when Fay had the West Side Drive-in and made wonderful pies?? John was 90 years old.Anyway, that is about all I know so am going back to my quilting for awhile this morning.Again, so glad ya'll are back!
Maw

Saturday, September 8, 2007

Hey Everybody....Me and Jay are hooked back up on the internet. We are moved in and loving the new house. I can't wait to have everyone over. Mowed my yard today. Bought some more decorations too. Trying to get things situated, you know how that it is with a home. April and Zac are getting ready to move into their new house. Very exciting. You know, couple nights ago, I sat down in my living room and looked around, and thanked the Lord for blessing me with such a wonderful place to call home. I am so thankful. Love you all!!!! Blair

Friday, September 7, 2007

Hey Family
This is getting pretty silly, me & Kittie talking on the Blog..Just kidding.. J.W. went back to Dr Allen yesterday and he gave him another shot, cordizone and made an appointment with an orthro doctor next week, 12th to see what he thinks. He is some better but still not able to do much for himself. Seem like this is all I have going on for now.Go to work and then home to take care of J.W. I did find out that the County Fair will be October 12, here is Crosbyton to I will try to enter some of my quilts I have made in the last 3 years (since the last fair) Of course I do not have Brock's, Toby's or Mike's quilts anymore but that is okay. I am so proud they have them. How is the painting going on April & Zac's house?? Hope Blair and Jay have all the computer equipment set up and ready to go at their new house. Kittie is right, you can feel fall in the air lately. Later, Maw

Thursday, September 6, 2007

Hey Family,

Sorry I haven't written...been pretty busy this week...I have started another new doctor and that takes TIME!!! They all have their own way of saying things OR not saying things that you are just suppose to know!! Very challenging, but I love it!!
Even though it is still hot most days, you can tell the season is changing.....
Boston is doing really go at his new school...He really does like it, especially the Science lab they have there...He is beginning to make some new friends and even got some of their phone numbers so he could talk to them after school...He told me Wednesday that he would like to come "home" this weekend because he does miss it, so me and Pappy are anxious to have him for the weekend...
Maggie and Kraig are doing really good...I think Boston is getting them into a routine!! Which will come in handy once the baby gets here. Maggie has decided to do the baby's room in Old Nursery Rhymes, using green gingham checked material...so that should work for a boy or girl...They have been making a list of possible names, so I will keep you posted...
Megan is doing good too...she is working and going to school...that takes up just about all of her time!!
Ok, I think that should catch everyone up on us for now...How is everyone else?? I don't ever see anyone anymore, except Mother...I know everyone is busy...I basically never leave the house anymore and actually I like it!!
love to all,
kittie

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

Hey Family
Is anyone out there???J W went back to see Dr Allen yesterday and he is some better. The lung doctor had looked at the Cat scan and told Dr. Allen there was no change from last year so that is good news! I guess it has been a severe attack of arthritis in his shoulder.He is still taking pain meds but he not yelling out quite so bad. Ha.Dr. Allen also gave him a cortizone shot yesterday so maybe that will help.Been pretty busy this week at the office, first of the month pmts, etc.
Later, Love, Maw

Sunday, September 2, 2007

Hey Family
We will try to keep the Blog alive for our Blog "Master" Blair. Hope his & Jays move is going smooth. If you have not checked our the C-town and Griffin Sister's sites you really need to. Mike, Kittie and Gary Lee look really "cool" with their dance routine, thanks to Blair. The sister's also look really cute on their site. Keep us laughing Blair.
J W is no better. He had a really rough night. All we can do is try to keep him comfortable (which is NOT possible). I was up several times last night, try heating pad here, try pillow props here and there, take pain pills, sop up glass of water he turned over, it just goes on and on but none of this has helped his pain. I'm sure it will be Tuesday before he can talk to a doctor again with the holiday.

Okay, I have an "order" or request from Maggie as to what she would like for her baby quilt. Since she has picked something that would work for boy or girl we do not need to wait to find out. So, Jared & Betsy I will be waiting to hear some news from you as well. Maybe someday I will make it over to the fabric store to start the projects. I am looking forward to it!!!
Hoping everyone is having a great, long, weekend! Love, Maw
