Thanksgiving #1

Sunday was Thanksgiving with My side of the family at Aunt Susan's house! We had a great time and ate too much! But I'm so thankful for a great day with the Family! Love you guys!

I decided that I wanted Kylah to wear the dress Susan had made for her one last time. It was a little short but otherwise it fit great! Isn't she cute!

Just a preview of what this creative family did. We set up a Christmas scene at Gregg's shop and took tons of pics! Can't wait to see the picture!!!!

Rusty was the photographer!! He did a great job.

Update on Mike

I just wanted to give an update on Mike. He had is Biopsy of his kidney on Monday. They had to take two pieces b/c the first wasn't enough. He did really good, only a sharp pain in his back every once in while. Thank God it is over!! We got home from the hospital tuesday around 1:30. WE MISSED KYLAH!!!! I was away from my baby for 30 hours! TOOO long! I was so glad to see her. She was really good for my Mom! While at the hospital Mike would open up the lap top to see her! It helped! Well, we are supposed to get the result today??? I will try to post an update after work before we go to Nashville. Thanks for all the prayers!

Thankful day 19

Wow the past few weeks have been really slow. We have tried to look to lighter side of thing and have some fun! Rachel had this scarf at work,(Did I mention we could hang meat there its so cold)! We tried that scarf out in alot of different ways.....Rachel made my glasses out of pipe cleaners!!! Then I put tape over my mouth and she drew lips and a beauty mark on it. I then decided I needed lenses for my glasses(much thinner then my real glasses)!!!! Then Teresa drew my some eyes!!!! Is this not the funniest thing ever! Maybe I have a new costume for next year!

So then we cut a slit in my mouth and I put a dum dum sucker in there and we painted the end red!!!Before the madness!

This is hard to explain.... Tomorrow is Tammy's 40th birthday. Rachel bought all this gag stuff to decorate her station!! One thing was diapers. Teresa decide to try them on and make a bra out of the over the hill streamers!


Rachel in the pipe cleaner glasses for Tammy only hers are a 4 and 0. Pull it up big to really see!

This is Tammy station and Teresa in the mirror!

I had no part in this . All Rachel and Teresa. If anyone is looking for a good hairspray buy Big and Sexy!!! It works wonders!!!

Back to the scarf........

close up!!!

DON"T YOU ALL WISH YOU WORKED HERE!!!!!! I LOVE MY JOB!!!!

Thankful Day 18

Mike got good news yesterday, Doc says his liver enzymes are getting better!!! This means his liver is getting better so now we can concentrate on the kidneys!! This was great news to hear and a big relief! Needless to say I'm sooooo thankful! Another thing to be thankful for is his Tuberculosis test came back good!! Yeah!!!!Still waiting on a bunch of test results from the kidney specialist.I will update when I hear! Thanks for all the prayers and my Dad is also doing good!

Thankful day 17

Just wanted to give an update on my Dad's procedure. We just got back in the room and he is doing really good, just a little out of it. Well I have great news to report! NO BLOCKAGE!!! Doc said arteries looked good the only thing is his irregular heart beat. What good news! Thank God!! The dr. said he might send him to Vanderbilt to do a procedure that burns part of his heart and it would help the heart beat and get him off the medication. Which is the Dr. main goal, to get him off the meds. He is supposed to be released around 2. So thanks for the prayers!

Behind on my thanks!

Sorry I'm behind on my thanks. It's been a crazy week. A lot is going on with my family right now. But you still have to be thankful. I'm very thankful for Mike seeing a good Dr on Friday. He was very helpful and is proactive!!! Also my Dad is having an Angiogram done tomorrow so please be in prayer for him. I will post an update tomorrow after surgery. They might have to keep him overnight if they do a stint. So on a lighter note Kylah has started standing by herself now. It is so crazy!!! These are a few videos for the other night! Notice Kaitlyn in the background oblivious to everything!!

Thankful Day #11

I'm so thankful for my job!!! I work with wonderful people!I have a great boss named Rachel who is a great friend also the one who got me and the rest of us on my Twilight obsession!!!

Thankful for a healthy 7 month old baby girl!!!! I'm gonna start using the word "baby" alot b/c I'm afraid very soon she won't be one anymore! I took Kylah to the Dr. today for a booster flu shot. She just whimpered for a second then started smiled! She weighed 16.10 oz!!! Growing baby! This is what she was doing while waiting...climbing everywhere.
Thank you Lord for my healthy growing baby!

Can we please see Santa!

Sunday was interesting trip!!! Summer, Rusty, Addie, Mike, Me, Kylah, Mindy, and Kaitlyn all went to Bass Pro to see Santa. Well, we get there and there was people everywhere. Make a long story short Santa was filled up....An impatient lady gave Rusty a pass for the 7:00 picture taking. We ended up doing all three girls with Santa. He was amazing! Thanks to the unknown lady!!

This is Kylah's new thing...I have no idea what she is doing but its so cute!
This is up above Santa I thought it was hilarious. It was an Elf kicking his legs!

Kaitlyn got to color while we waited on Santa.

Addie outfit was so cute.

Kylah's outfit was one of Kaitlyn's when she was little. Man does that come in handy!!!

Kaitlyn loved the fish tank.
Before we knew we would see Santa Mindy and I decide to use their trees to take pictures! Mike thought we were crazy!
