Justin and Theresa's New House

The front of our house

My herb garden!  Justin made this beautiful planter for me :)

The first tree we planted in our backyard.  It is a tangerine tree and we got it as a house warming present from The Kerns!

Our front porch

A view down the culdesac and the empty lot the rugrats like to play in!

Hi everyone!  Here are some pictures of our new home in Houston!  We live only 5 minutes from the lake which Justin love and the neighborhood is very family friendly.  We have great neighbors so far and 12 kids on our cul-de-sac. We are excited to be homeowners and are enjoying making our house a home!  Come visit us in Houston we have plenty of room!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER

Happy Birthday to my fabulous youngest sister Alice. Man, just look at those good Martinez Family Genes. Let's all wish her a great big Happy birthday today.

Love,
Eddie & Elise

Another Kirk Update

Just wanted to let everyone know that Kirk is at home as of yesterday. Home Health Care will be coming out to evalute their situation today. Kirk is in a back brace and will be very limited as to what he can do. They will be in a bind since Rita doesn't drive anymore. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.

Kirk Update

Hi everyone...just wanted to give you an update on Kirk. I didn't update yesterday so Theresa could have her day on the blog. Anyway, Kirk is in a room now ...room 487 (Harris Hospital). He says they may be sending him home on Monday. He is still in bed and has not been up. Well, he stood up Friday afternoon for an x-ray and passed out ....so there you go. He tried to stand up yesterday and said the pain was really bad. He has a hard shell back brace that he calls a turtle shell. I believe he will require Home Health Care and physical therapy when he goes home. He can hardly turn over in bed without help. He is in good spirits and is anxious to get home but I know they will be in for a long recovery. We have yet to speak with any of the Dr's...we never seem to be there when they make their rounds. His phone # in the room is 817-250-2487.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS MUESEL

One more time. Happy Birthday to another one of our beautiful nieces, Theresa. Thanks again for inviting us to be a part of your beautiful wedding last October. We hope you are enjoying your new life in Houston and hope your celebration of the anniversary of your birth be a good one. May you and Justin enjoy the day however you choose to make it.

Happy 26th Birthday Theresa

Happy Birthday to my little baby Theresa Marie Jecha Muesel. Theresa is 26 years old today. She and Justin will be celebrating in Houston, Texas, their new home. Hope you have a wonderful day. Theresa was born on Tuesday afternoon at 12:15 pm in Midland, Texas , April 17th (two days after her dad put our 1984 taxes in the mail). hee hee, joke there.

Love you always, Mom and Dad and your adopted dog, Chaco

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THERESA

Happy Birthday to you Theresa! Hope you have a wonderful day. April is a busy birthday month! Justin better take you out tonight!! haha Gosh.. time is flying by..you girls are all grown up. Happy Birthday!

Uncle Phillip and Aunt Alice

Kirk

For those of you who don't already know, Kirk is in the hospital. I thought we all learned a lesson from Eddie about getting on ladders and being safe ....but NOOOOOOOOO! haha Kirk was helping a neighbor trim a tree when the big branch hit the ladder with Kirk on it and of course he came down too. He has a burst fracture of his L1 disc in his lower back and a sprained and scraped up elbow. I talked to Rita last night and the neurosurgeon recommended just a back brace for him. We were concerned that he would have to go with the back surgery. He is in Harris Hospital but is in ICU Trauma so he doesn't have a phone in his room. I will keep you informed about his progress. Please keep Kirk and Rita in your prayers.

Happy 23rd Birthday Pammy!

Had to put in my 2 cents!

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY PIC

Last night I was browsing my Picasa pictures and I came across this picture and I remembered it was Tax day the next day and I remembered it was also Pammy's birthday. I started to post it then but it would have been the 14th instead of the 15th. Anyway, Happy Happy Birthday to one of many of our beautiful nieces. Damn, I'm glad our genes worked out so good!! LOL. Elise and I hope you have a MARVELOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

Uncle Eddie & Aunt Elise

Happy 23rd Birthday Pamela

Happy Birthday to my baby Pamela Gail Jecha. She is 23 years old today. She was born at 3:15 in the afternoon in Midland, Texas and then her dad rushed out to put our taxes in the afternoon mail! (just kidding).
She has grown up to be a beautiful young lady. Happy Birthday!
Love Mom and Dad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAM

Today is Pamela's birthday. Let's all wish her a very wonderful day. Hope you like the pictures Pam. I am sure Linda has some she might want to post also. Have a great day!

Aunt Alice and Uncle Phillip

Oh...happy tax day to everyone!

CALIFORNIA SPRING

Spring Wildflowers

Rolling hills between Hemet & Temecula, CA

Green Hills near Hemet

Hello Everyone. I thought I would just break the monotony and show some scenes in our area. The winter and spring rains bring new growth to our hills that maybe you had seen here when everything was dry, brown and ugly during summer and fall. Anyway, we are well and would like to see some pictures from everyone else. I notice a lot of you do not post very much anymore. Well, I for one would like to keep everyone blogging, not from just a few but from everyone. Surely there must be some news in someone's families. This doesn't mean you're in everyone elses business. If there is gossip, you can keep those on landlines,cell phones, or texting, if you don't want to know everyone's business, but I'm sure there are kids or grandkids that may have won an award or someone's birthday, that could share with the rest of the family clan. Maybe someone has a picnic or family gathering and you have some pictures, just put them on the blog. I'm sure that if you can't figure out to get them on the blog, I'm sure that there are a few who know how to so just email them to whomever you know how to put the pictures on and I'm pretty sure someone would help you put them on. Well, so much for my goings on, our news is usually going to the doctor's. Not that we are always sick, because we aren't, but I guess our healthcare wants to keep us healthy so we won't get sick. Good luck, health and happiness to all of you.

Happy Easter from The Johnsons!

All I need to know

I learned from the Easter Bunny!

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

There's no such thing as too much candy.

All work and no play can make you a basket case.

A cute tail attracts a lot of attention.

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

Some body parts should be floppy.

Keep your paws off of other people's jelly beans.

Good things come in small, sugar coated packages.

The grass is always greener in someone else's basket.

To show your true colors, you have to come out of the shell.

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.

May the joy of the season fill your heart.

AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

Happy Easter!

Happy 60th Birthday to Tom

Today is Tom's 60th Birthday. He didn't want a big celebration so we just had a quiet week-end at home. This is at the Oasis on Lake Travis back in October when the lake was at it lowest in years. We plan to go back out soon and post another photo because the lake is now 100% full since all of the rain we've had since fall. So watch for the next photo, we will try to get the photo in the same spot!
Anyway, had to post a happy birthday to Tom, 60 years young.

Dr's report

Hello,
Here is mom's dr. report. As you know after the accident a bunch of xrays were run on mom for different reasons. On one of her lung xrays a spot was found . Last week she had a CT scan of it. Today we went to the lung dr.and he recommends seeing a surgeon to remove the spot which is about a half inch long . We do know that it wasn't there a week ago . Its not big enough to do a petscan ,which we could see if it is cancerous or not . So the only real alternative is surgery to remove it and do a biopsy on it . This could be a blessing in disquise if it is cancer because at this stage it is about 80% curable... ! If we wait and see it could grow alot faster than we know and then we would be in worse shape.
Any questions? Yes,,she is worried and ofcourse she doesn't really want to have surgery but we'll see. Next week we go see a surgeon to see what he recommends.
