Goodbye to Mumzy


Right after Hudson was born, Mumzy (Jason's grandmother) went into the hospital after her heart stopped twice. She was put under sedation to stabilize her heart but never came out of it. Last weekend we went down to Texas to see her and say what would be our final goodbyes. She passed away the Saturday afternoon after we got there. She absolutely loved the boys and I'm so sad she lived survive till we were moved down there and could spend more time with her. I will miss her hearty laugh and how much she loved spending time with the boys. It was a really rough weekend for us all but I'm glad we got to see her before she left us. The funeral is today. We couldn't go because of Jason's exams and it would just be too hard on the little ones making two trips so close together.

Her obituary from the paper:

Elizabeth Marie (Nagel) Allen, 76, of Bryan passed away on June 13, 2015. Graveside services will be held on Saturday, June 20th at 1:30pm in the Bryan City Cemetery. Steve Holcombe will officiate the service. Funeral services are in the care of Callaway-Jones Funeral Home and Crematory.

"Betty Lee" was born September 16, 1938 in Fredericksburg, Texas to Herman and Clara Nagel. Betty Lee enjoyed cooking a good meal for her family. She loved her rock gardens and her plants. She liked to build puzzles and welcomed who would venture into building puzzles with her. Betty Lee married Thomas Carl Allen Sr. on September 30, 1959 in Llano, Texas. They moved their family to Bryan in 1976 and she was employed with K-Mart until they closed. She had a deep sense of adoration for her grandchildren. She was affectionately known as Mumzy by her grandchildren and enjoyed visits from them and her neighbors. She was deeply loved and will be missed by her children and their families.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Carl Allen Sr.; and her father Herman Nagel.

She is survived by her mother, Clara Nagel; her siblings Erna, Clara, Conrad, Katy and Randy. She is also survived by her children, Tom and Pam Allen, Jeff and Natalie Allen and Jud and Julie Allen; along with 12 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

FAF: Another 1 Bites the Dust!

Starting weight: 166.4 Last week's weight: 163.8 Current weight: 162.8 Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: -1.0 Total weight lost: -3.6 Another week of weight loss! Whoop! Its not much but after another slow exercising week, I'll GLADLY take it! I'm very close [again] to what I weighed when I got knocked up with my pwecious little man so I'm feeling good about that fo' sho'... Working out this week has been rough. I haven't really made/had time for a good solid workout so I'm a little disappointed about that but...eh, I'll just keep squeezing them in there whenever I can and as much as I can. We have a gym membership over by my usual sitter so once she's off maternity leave, I'll be able to run to the gym at night before or after I pick up the monster. My diet this week has been unhealthy - not in what I've eaten, just the quantity. I've hardly eaten a thing! My dinner portions have been cut in half, if not more, so I feel that's a po...

When Life Hands You Lemons

Today is the day. Grandpa's visitation and tomorrow's the funeral. The last couple of days its really hit me. He's gone. My Grandpa was a wonderful man. We've all been smiling, laughing and reminising about all the funny things he used to do and say. We fondly remember his sweet tooth and love for all things lemon flavored. But something I never really thought about until now is that he was handed a lot of crappy cards on the health side of life and hasn't been in good health for the last 20 years but I never really heard him complain about it. In fact, every time I saw him he had a huge smile on his face and wanted to know all about what I had been up to and what I was doing. He was so very proud of all of us kids. So proud. Didn't matter what we were doing or what we'd accomplished, his eyes would twinkle with pride. I'm going to miss him terribly. Today and tomorrow are going to be hard but its all the days after that are going to be truly trying... L...
