Try being over 80 and thinking you are a teenager. It is weird the Grandkids call me ancient and yet I feel so young inside sometimes.
Amen and hallelujah to that! So true friend.
I’m 72 and at times I feel irrelevant but other times I feel like a young’un!
That is my brain thinking that. Feels great until the pain kicks in after when I do try and be one, even for a little bit.
I know exactly what you mean. But My health is going down, so I don't feel young much anymore.
It blows my mind when the kids say I’m old 😂, then I stop n think shoot I am getting towards old … but I’m like 16 inside , 16 with some knowledge .
Matt sure smiles alot more now . Nice to see
😂 what?
Retirement does that to you
You are right.
Yes! He has really warmed/opened up since his retirement. You can tell he loves his family and really enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters.
@@ginamcknight8115 he recently retired.
Something I like about Katy is how she gets excited about everything/anything. She can always find something to appreciate about anything
Pizza Hut was a real hangout in the 80's. The pizza was way different back then. The garlic toast was to die for, the salads were incredible. And yes, the juke box made it elite. Spent many a days there with my friends.
reminds me of Wendys!
@MP-lq3xx Yes, Wendy's was to. . Had a salad and potato bar. Also, a hang out. The kids today have no clue.
One of my first jobs was in Rockledge Florida at the old Drive-in style A&W Rootbeer stands. Dang that was the best Bacon Cheeseburger ever.
Ha! Ours was the highlight was a table top Pac man arcade game!
The barbecue pizza was fantastic!
I went to school with triplets. Named April, May and June. They were so identical it was crazy.
😂😂😂
When our granddaughter was trying to talk, we called ourselfs Grandma & Grandpa. She couldn't say it and it came out as Mawmaw and Pawpaw. When our Grandson came along, he called us the same. We loved it , and 23 years later we are still Mawmaw and Pawpaw. Being Grandparents is a wonderful thing. We have a sign over our kitchen door that says Pawpaw and Mawmaw's Place.
Matt is a hoot! Also good example of a modern-day husband. I like that Tipper and Matt each bring their gifts to their marriage with respect. Great example for Corrie and Katie and all of us.
Thank you 🙏
Matt, "I'm trying not to have a psychotic break at all times" is the best line I've heard in a long time! I'm going to borrow that one often.
😀
When Pizza Hut brought out my personal pan pizza, I thought that was the epitome of fine dining 😂 I think it was 1989 and I was in the 4th grade.
I screamed laughing watching Matt’s eyes cut over to Tipper when she said she still feels 25. 😂
I remember being 9 and my Mom was 36. I thought she was ancient! Now that I truly AM ancient, I think she was just a child!
Matt doesn't say much, but when he does, it's worth hearing. Sometimes I straightway laugh out loud at his remarks as well. Very entertaining. Love it.
I worked for a man years ago that had his 80th birthday and several of us employees were quizing him about age The question was asked what it felt like to be that old his answer was a little puzzling at the time "It just like being 20 until I move" he said. That has a different meaning today than back then.
I don’t have any grandchildren but my sister has three grandchildren!! Not sure why but her oldest grandson called her G MOM so all three now call her G MOM !! Your kitchen isn’t a mess you have a very nice country kitchen that fixes a lot of wonderful meals !! It’s so wonderful that you let us all share your life !! Sending hugs!!
I live in Missouri, I'm 57 years old, and Pizza Hut was the place to hang out. It was a great place for really good pizza. And it was packed full of people. The good old days!
Whe t e in Missouri do you live? I live in Dexter.
Having someone cook you dinner when you are up to your eyeballs. Preparing for christmas it is such a blessing. Way to go Matt, you are saving the day. 😊
This was lovely family time. Sweet, relaxed, and real. Tipper and Matt, you are going to LOVE these grandbabies. Enjoy every minute, it's a precious time.
I can hardly wait to see these precious baby boys! What a beautiful family they have already. Our one and only grandchild ( grandson ) calls us " Nonne" and " Pa". It's the sound that melts our hearts. Whatever they decide to call you; it'll do the same for you.
I'm with Katie on this one, I'm a minimalist and I can't stand clutter. I'm all about the floor space too, my husband not so much🤦🏻♀️ I told my husband I want to get rid of our huge dresser, bed frame and nightstands and he looked at me like I was nuts😂 All that big bulky furniture leaves zero room.
When you were talking about kids not realizing that parents and grandparents had actual names, made me think about one of my coworkers. Her grandson introduced her to one of his playmates as "my friend, Nana". I thought that was so cute.
When my Nanny and Grandad first became a great grandparents we called them Big Nanny and Grandad, my Mother also got to be a great grandparent and the Big Nanny name continued. I love it 🥰
Wow I got teary eyed watching Matt cook grilled cheese. My daddy did the best gc ever. Don't know what he did different. Maybe it was just the love he put in it. Sure do miss him.
I loved going to Pizza Hut and getting my Book-It mini pizza. 😂
I remember being so excited when our first grandchild finally called me Grandma! I am Grandma and my husband is Papa to our grandchildren.
Katie is so much like her daddy it’s cute 😊
I SOOOO APPRECIATE YOUR FAMILY VIDS! Makes my heart ❤ sing to see these !
That's true.. I wanted to be called Gammie when my grandson was learning to talk, but he couldn't pronounce the G so he ended up calling me Mammie. So he is 10; years old now and he still calls me Mammie... I love it...😊❤️
I call my mama that 🙂
I had a Granny and a Grandma and I am a Grammy. My granddaughter decided on that. My one and only is 20 now. Time flies
I love the baby bump! Y’all are going to be amazing grandparents and Katie will be great mom❤ All that munching gave me the munchies😂 I love me some hummus and crackers.
We hung out at our Pizza Hut, too. That was the place in the 80s for dating, and after football games. Loved it, and the jukebox! Hate that it’s not the same anymore.
They are actually closing a lot of the locations. On August 7, 2019, Pizza Hut announced its intention to close about 500 of its 7,496 dine-in restaurants in the US, by the middle of 2021. On August 18, 2020, it was announced that Pizza Hut would be closing up to 300 restaurants after the bankruptcy of NPC International, one of its largest franchisees
Growing up my two favorite humans were Mamaw & Papaw Emerson. He was a farmer and she was a folk dr & a midwife. They got married when mamaw was 13, had 13 biological children, and always had a house full of us grandkids under their feet. They were pure love. Tipper, you and Matt definitely look like a mamaw & papaw to me! ❤
Wow, I was just thinking grilled cheese. Must be so awesome to sit together and enjoy that special moment. Thanks for sharing it with us. 😊
The end is hilarious. It’s like there’s a sort of organization-intervention going on. Katie: “I’m tellin’ you…” 😄 Hallelujah on the built-ins EVERYWHERE. Every baby is a blessing, but getting grandkids, it is hard to explain how much your heart expands. You grandparents might just get christened with your names by your grandboys. 💙 Katie, may God bless you and your baby every step of the way. He’s sure been good to you by gifting you with supportive, loving parents and your sis. God is good, all the time.
So good to see Katie there with y'all eating and just talking about everything. Her baby is going to be here before she knows it. And then Corie is next they are going to be such good Moma’s! 😊
Matt built those steps up to your hillside raised bed gardens. Thats pretty creative 😊
I like the way that Matt is careful not to burn the grilled cheese sandwiches
So nice of Matt to cook for y’all. We are Gammie and Paw Paw to our 7 Grandsons. I love how beautiful Katie’s hair looks and how she has that pretty pregnancy glow in her face. That baby bump is just precious. I am so excited for her and Corie’s little rascals to come into the world. Hope y’all all have a wonderful week. Hugs from the south east coast of Florida. 😎🦩🌞🦩😎
My oldest granddaughter started calling us MaGa and PaGa. My daughter would say to her. "Say grandma", and she would say MaGa. "Say grandpa," and she would say "PaGa." The names stuck. When her little came along we were MaGa and PaGa. I love it. It's different. When my oldest son was little he would not say granddad. He would say dad grand every time. It stuck and all three of my kids called their grandfather dadgrand until he passed. Excited for you all. Being a grandparent is awesome!
Papaw and Mamaw is what we called my mothers mom/dad. We called daddy’s parents- granny and papaw. It’s endearing!!!!
Our first fast food place was Tasty Freeze . Living near the beach our favorite pizza place is Grottoes.We have lots of Pizza places.Katie is looking great with her baby bump. I know you all will be so excited for the babies. Prayers for an easy delivery for the girls the babies .🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Our grandson calls us grandma and grandpa. I was number one until grandpa got back from VA and Carsen is now all about Grandpa. He just loves playing with his Grandpa. You all will have so much fun!!🙂
We called my grandparents Baba and PomPom. That’s how my older sister pronounced Grand Ma and Grand Pa. My grandchildren call me Nonnie and my husband is Papa. Katie you are looking beautiful! I’m excited for Corie and Katie’s babies to be here! Fun times ahead! 😜💕🙏
This is gold watching peace and joy, God is so sweet and full of joy.
That was a good supper Matt made. It’s so exciting to see sweet Katie’s baby bump. It won’t be long!!! I agree with Katie, y’all should get shelves built in to keep things organized and so when your new grand baby’s get big enough to run around on cold winter days they will have a great place to play as y’all watch them and reminisce about Katie and Corie playing there too.
Have a great Christmas folks and God bless you all.
this man is incredibly blessed to have a woman like this
" Please Mr. Please don't play B17" Olivia Newton John. Thanks for bringing back that memory for me.
My mother had picked out a name,,,grandma I think…but my first born called her Goggie out of the blue. It stuck…:). Now they are grown men who still talk about their Goggie. ❤
Y'all have this magic way about you, that makes me feel as if I've been welcomed in to sit by the fire and have a simple supper and some good conversation. I'm always a bit melancholy when it ends. Thank you again. xo
Wow, thank you!
A funny story about grandparent names… when I was pregnant, my stepdad wanted to be called Grandpa. One day he described himself as a grumpy old man (in jest, of course) and that’s what my daughter picked up on when she started talking and she called him Grumpy and that stuck.😊
😀
Katie and Cory...yall are going to be amazing momma's because you have such an Amazing momma as your example.
Our Grandkids call us Nanny & PawPaw. Some kids seem to develop their own special names. It's going to be a journey!
Matsu apples, grown in NC at least within a 100 mile radius of Raleigh, and available at the farmer's market, are some of the best eating apples I've had in a long time.
Tipper, it's good to hear the stories of you encouraging your daughters to be creative. It is important!
My cousins called their grandmother "Ole Sweet" I have no idea who came up with it, but I loved it and eventually everyone called her that.
Miss the old Pizza Hut and Pizza Inn back in the day. Nowadays Pizza Hut is like a Domino’s, order and pickup.
My daddy would say young at heart mama would say that's blessing to be old and happy I remember putting 25 cents in joke box God bless everyone ❤
My first date with my husband was at Pizza Hut 34 years ago. One of the best smells is a supreme pizza from Pizza Hut.
Yes it is! Thanks for watching 😀
I remember the first time I realized I was 2 years older than my mother the year I got married. For the first time, I realized my parents didn't KNOW everything. 😆 I take it as a sign that they were good parents, they made me think that no matter what bad thing that could happen in the world they would KNOW what to do about it. ❤
Had a pan like that when my pal and I hiked up into the Sawtooth Mts of Idaho, built a small cabin, spent the summer cooking on an open fire. Very special time in my life.
Happy Valentine's Day to the Pressley Family. Katie is glowing!!
I grew up in Maggie so I know how it is. My Grandpa and Grandma used to cook a loaf of pan bread on the wood stove, and make snow cream. Katie, you are looking God Sent, and Glowing, as if you are carrying a gift that will come to this wonderful family of yours. Your awesome Matt, Your so Family oriented and exceptional, and Katie-- I can't even begin to explain how sweet, beautiful, talented, lucky, smart, loveable, and glowing. -- did I say Beautiful!? Well you guys are great.
God bless
. Neco
History is repetiting it's self. The gang that hung at Pizza Hut and Texas Steer drive in is now meeting at Hardees and MC Donald for breakfast. If you want to catch up on class mates from the 60s go to these places early.
Me and my mister are papa and Nana. But I answer to anything. Tipper and Matt you will be amazed at the love you will have for those granbabies. I'm 65 and am about to be Nana to my 8th great grandbaby. I'm so super excited for Katie and Cory and you and Matt. God is so good.
Our youngest son & his wife had two sets of twins naturally. The older ones are girls (16) Skyler & Dakota& the younger ones are girl & boy River & Wyatt (12). We are so blessed.
We called my mom's mother Granny. When my mom became a grandmother, the kids called her Granny and called their great grandmother Great Granny. I also had a MawMaw and a PawPaw. My sister-in-law is Mimi and my brother is Pop.
I was so excited when i found out I was going to have a grand baby. I knew right away I wanted to be called Granny. It just filled me with so many warm memories of my parents and my kids. They were Granny and Papaw. I'm so excited for all y'all.
Sweet geez.. I braced for impact when that plane flew over! That sounded entirely too low.😮
Edit: Pizza Hut had a delicious baked pasta dish ( Cavatini was the name! Found it in these comments) back in the late 70's. Just had to order it whenever I was there. Good memories!
My grands call me Mimi. They have so many grannies. My bff's mother was called Mimi and I just loved her so I chose that name. And my mind is still alot younger than my body. It's strange, but true.😘
I remember that when Pizza Hut came to my childhood home town in the 1970's, two locations opened on the same road only a couple of miles apart. The one within walking distance has since gone through several incarnations, but has always been a restaurant. The one farther west is still a Pizza Hut.
Cisco’s Pizza was the place to go after church when I was in high school around 1977-1978. Katie used a phrase I had never heard before. “Pig’s trail.” Made me laugh
Enjoyed this! Pizza Hut here in eastern WV was quite the place for us and our girls in the 80’s. They had “Book It” for school kids. If you read so many books in school, you got a certificate for a free little pan pizza. One of our daughters had her 10th bd party at PH. On grandparent names, our little granddaughter calls us Granna and Bop. Bop is her version of Pop and it’s stuck. He loves it! Have a very Merry Christmas!
I had forgotten about that they did it here in southern KY memories are so sweet
Oh my goodness!! Book-it! 😊 I have always been a big reader and would always get those certificates for free pizza 🍕
I got a puppy before my brother had kids. For her, I called Mom and Dad Maw Maw and Paw Paw. Same reason as Matt said, it was slightly hillbilly-esque and made me smile. Then the grandkids came along and the names stuck. 😂. You won’t care what they call you just so long as they’re calling. ❤ Mom (80) and I (53) love watching your family - and we have to watch together. I caught here watching the other night and called her out. She immediately switched videos until I could join her. 😂 I hope you realize how much you’ve become part of our every day and feel like close friends of the family. Wishing you all brightest blessings for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I called my grandmother Grammy and my grandfather Pappy. I miss them dearly.
I owned a Restaurant for 38 years and we had a juke box. Once Chet Akins came with a bunch of guys after playing golf. He got to picking at me and he walked to the juke box with me and put a quarter in and played a George Jones song and danced with me. Lot of memories. I still have around 1500 juke box records with the song tags with each record. Been trying to sell them but no luck yet. George Jones use to come in and eat breakfast a lot with me. Yabrought back some wonderful memories for me . Thank you ❤❤
Katie looks adorable with her baby bump.
Love hearing your daughter taking part in your talks.
Congratulations on being awarded the most beautiful country music singer in Renfro Valley Mrs. Pressley WE ALL LOVE YOU
We hung out at the Pizza Hut ❤in the 80s. As I am watching this I am crocheting a pot holder type thing to sit under my vinegars and kraut in the half gallon canning jars😊
It's so wonderful seeing Katie take her spotlight. She is amazing!
The grand kids have a way of figuring out what they call you generally what they hear the most y'all will luv the first time you hear it I'm so glad y'all get 2 close together.
My dad was called Pa Paw, we called his dad Pa Paw and my dad called his grandfather Pa Paw. So, that was what I wanted to be called when my grandsons came along. Four generations of Pa Paws. Wouldn't have it any other way!! ❤
When we were growing up, my brother was a collector of 45" records. There was great music in the 60s and 70s. When he got married, he decided that he wanted a juke box because he knew that his children would enjoy it. He found one for sale, bought it, and put it in his family room in the basement. He loaded some of those 45s, and the rest is history. There was always a lot of dancing and singing through the years. Sadly, he died 6 years ago of ALS, a horrible disease. The juke box was silent for awhile but now his son's family is enjoying it. Tipper, I wish you, Matt, and the girls a Blessed Christmas. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing his beautiful story and for your kind wishes.
My family always quilted out of necessity, but those quilts were always so beautiful. My sister quilts for her grands now. It's a wonderful craft. Our oldest grand son always called us Papa and Grandma, but 10 years later when our 2nd one came he called us Papa and Baaga,. Now all 4 of our grandsons call me Baaga even our oldest. I had never heard Baaga before but he couldn't say grandma and Baaga stuck. You'll love whatever they call you. 😄❤🙏
I'm "Goldie" and my husband is "Sir" 😁 nothing cuter than the littles saying "Sir" ❤ ... They do change what they call too lol our youngest calls me "GoGo" half the time🥰
Poor Matt - “the basement was supposed to be mine.” 😂
I am known as Grandmomma by all my grandchildren except the last one she started calling me Gammaw at an early age and I love it 😊
Yes absolutely Pizza Hut was the same where we grew up. Packed all the time. Jute box everything and that's in Indiana. Love it and the memories. Sure different now unfortunately. Love u guys
My husband and I always went to Pizza Hut on our dates in the late 70s in Des Moines, Iowa. We’d sit in the tiny table in the corner. It was big enough for just the two of us. Oh the memories!
That’s funny. I think of Grandma and Grandpa as more old fashioned.
I swear I felt like I was sitting right across from you’ll right in the middle of the conversation 🤣. You and Matt are going to be wonderful grandparents to two little boys❤. Oh the things Matt and Austin will teach them❤️
Some Pizza Huts in this area had individual juke boxes at each booth. Shoney's was a big draw too. Thanks for sharing
Katie is just glowing! I am Mimi to my grandchildren, and my husband is Papaw. We love our grandparent names. Also, I am making grilled cheese for lunch tomorrow!!😘
Back in the early summer, a mama cat brought her three babies onto my enclosed porch via a broken storm door. I began feeding them after I came home to a dead bird on my porch. She has since had another litter. 2 of the kittens were run over, one from each litter. Now I am feeding six cats. Just call me the crazy cat lady, lol! 😂 yes they have names too.
Greetings from Pennsylvania. Matt looks like he has lost weight. My mother in-law had a big wood burning cook stove in her kitchen. We made plenty of grilled cheese sandwiches on it.we cooked right on griddle surface. I would buy the groceries for a meal specially to cook on the cook stove. My wife Sandy always liked my cooking, Fried green beans and fried potatoes & onions was always delicious cooked on it.
I had the most wonderful mother in-law. Each week I planned a Mel to cook at her home, we had some of the most wonderful meals and wonderful memories,.Family life has always been important to me. Anyhow as I said I was blessed having such a wonderful mother in-law.
I thought the same about Matt looking like he lost weight. Then with him saying he felt sick after eating …hope he’s okay. 🙏🏻
My oldest nephew couldn’t say grandma or grandpa..he would say emo or empo and that’s how my parents got their names 😂and that’s how we showed our kids…my first grand baby is a week and a half old now but we still can’t decide what we would like to be called ❤
Show some more cooking on the wood stove, please.
👍
In the ‘60s in small town Louisiana, the A&W Root Beer stand was the gathering spot during my teenage years. Root beers and floats in frosted mugs!! Yum!!
My G-Grandmother was Big Mama, and my grandmother was Granny. On my late husband's side, His great grandmothers were Granny, his grandmothers were Grandma, and his parents were Me-Ma and Paw-Paw.
My grandson is 3 1/2 years
I have been his babysitter since he was 6 weeks old. And when talking to him about myself or my husband I would say "ganmama and gandadday". Then when he started talking, out of the blue, he started calling us "Oma and Opa". Lol
We have no idea where that came from. We're not german/dutch. But we love it!
He now has a baby brother that will be 3 months old on Christmas, and we assume he will call us the same thing. But you just never know.
Happy holidays, and congratulations on the 2 grandbabies on the way.
Shakies was our hangout. I sure love spending time with all of you. And Tipper, I celebrated my birthday this week and I made us that chocolate zuchini cake that you shared. So yummy. Thank you again. 😊😊😊
Did your Shaky’s have a player piano in it?
@@user-mu8jh5zh1w unfortunately not. I wish it did.
My Aunt and Uncle from Highlands always waited until their apples softened too. I can eat them either way but crisp right from the tree fresh picked is best.
I remember the PIzza Hut days. So much fun with family and friends. It's wonderful to see a family sharing a meal together. Have a wonderful day!
I had decided on Grandmommy and when my grandson started talking he named me Mimi lol. We still have no idea where he heard Mimi from. My parents were Mamaw and Papaw.
Being of an age with Tipper and Matt, I agree--Pizza Hut used to be THE place to go! And one of the very first songs I heard the first time on the PH jukebox was Another One Bites The Dust by Queen
My dad called his mother "Granny Grunt" and my mom's mother "Granny Groan".
