Part 2: of whopping big post...LOL

Part deux!!!
As promised, Here is part 2
Well, for some of my regular blog readers, you may or may not know that I have an older brother. We were at one time, EXTREMELY CLOSE. However, through the years, he has become estranged from the family. We RARELY see him, UNLESS, we go to his house. He has 3 beautiful children, and they are truly missing out on a WONDERFUL family.

Well, to make a long story short, my brother was rushed to the hospital on yesterday, with PANCREATITIS, he was in extreme pain. They admitted him and they suspect he may have COLON cancer. My mom was diagnosed with this a couple years ago. While I am not CLAIMING ANYTHING, it really unnerved me, because the fact that he does not come around the family....

I love my brother so much! It's something, that I cannot shut off. We may have our differences, but he is STILL MY BROTHER, my ONLY BROTHER, from my mom. He looked so helpless and fragile in that hospital bed, and I just got SO FULL....

I had to leave the room, and I just balled....

No matter what, BLOOD IS THICKER THAN MUD....and I am going to go see him, no matter if he ever darks my doorstep again...
He was really happy to see all of us, and was so thankful. Like he was SHOCKED, we came.
I am alll about my family....
When anything happens....I AM JOHNNY ON THE SPOT...
I always have been that way..

I am taking care of his children, while he is the hospital.....
It's rare that you get to see my other nieces and nephews, but
here is Najee, Nubia, and Nas


Nubia on the left, Najee the oldest in the middle and Nas on the right




Nas and his favorite person in the world Jariel


This boy is a mess , Look at Nas

Nubia looks so much like my mother it's ridiculous, she HAS NO LIPS, just like my mom....


And Miss Najee looks so much like my sister Tracy


Look at Jaree, she is actually on her knees, she is sooooo much taller than they are ...and get this Najee is older than Jaree, and Nubia is the same age as Jaree ....LOL


This is one of my favorite shots, please ignore my laudry in the background....it is clean....LOL


Everybody just adores Nas, he is such a good little boy


Love this pic too

Nubia loves the camera.....LOL

I had to get these shots, because I don't see them often. Not nearly as much as Aaron and Aaliyah, but that is all about to change...

Here are a few more shots from Easter: which was WONDERFUL. We went to my mom's for dinner, met up with my sister and her children. Ate ourselves into OBLIVION, and watched the KING OF KINGS....
On the menu:

Grilled salmon
Barbeque chicken
Spiraled ham
Collared greens
Corn on the cob
Candied yams
Roast Beef
Baked macaroni and cheese
Potato Salad
Fried Okra
Yeast rolls and corned bread

Dessert

I know I gained atleast 5 lbs....LOL


The food was not ready, can you tell?

More of the kids being buttholes....LOL


Almost had a good picture, but Bee had his MAJOR ATTITUDE FACE ON!


oK, can you see the duck in the background, ok it's not the same duck that liked getting it's picture taken. This duck kept watching, and would swim up, really close to my mom's pier, but as soon as we would look at him, he would swim away....I think he had something up it's sleeve. He was trying to JACK US.....lol

I will leave you with my favorite shot of the girls...Najee is on the left, and Nubia the right. They are exactly 10 months apart.....Alot of people mistake them for twins, but Najee is the older sister and the boss! You pick up a lot after 24 hours....

I will have them until tommorrow afternoon, as their other Aunt (their mom's sister), will be picking them up....

I guess I will have fun until then...

Until next time...
