Another set....

So we learned this week that Brantley will be getting her THIRD set of tubes on Tuesday....they will also be doing some allergy testing as well. I pray that this will be her last set and that they will take away all of the discomfort she must have in her little ears. It makes me sad to think that she maybe has gotten used to them hurting more than not....will will pray for her protection during the procedure and that they will work like they need to.
My precious friend has also been heavy on my heart this week. She is having a procedure done on Monday and we must lift her up that God will protect her precious blessing she is carrying inside of her and that she will get good news. Once again, I am reminded how important our faith is and how very precious life is.
The kids had their Christmas program at Lakeridge today and both did really well. Brantley absolutely loves to sing and although she may not know all of the words, she is going to move her mouth like she does and do all of the hand movements. It hit me as we were sitting there that next year we will be attending Carson's program at school...yikes...I am so not ready for him to start school. I just want to keep him and protect him from the world out there....I think I just don't want to share him with the school system:) I just pray that Cy and I can instill in them the values of being good people. At dinner tonight we talked about Jesus and it being his birthday. We just might have to make him a birthday cake...I really want to start traditions for years to come that will mean something to my kids., this just might be one of them! Carson was able to say that he lives in our hearts and we reminded him that Jesus is always with us.
Good night...I have a book that I would really like to get finished so at least that is one thing that can be marked off the list in my head.

Makes me HAPPY!

This makes me happy! I had no idea that my father was making devil ears on me...I love my brother's face and where is Carson?
Happy times!

It's Starting to Look a Lot Like Christmas.....

Well....we finally got up most of our Christmas decorations and only broke about 4 glass ornaments...not too bad really. This is one of my favorite times of the year and I love to have the Christmas tree lights on and just sit and look at them. We actually invested this year in better Christmas lights for the house and they look really good. Cy is so proud they are still glowing and all of the house is lit up....last year they were always blowing a fuse and did not look too good.

Today when we were at Holland Garden, Carson told Brantley he wanted to go look at the Cracker Nut....I could not figure out what he was saying but then I saw him trying to play with the mouth of a Nut Cracker that was taller then him.....made me laugh! He also asked tonight for dinner if he could have some "flower seeds" instead of sunflower seeds....oh the things he says.

I did a little shopping today but am really starting to get anxious about what we are buying everyone....I just feel so blessed having a healthy family so that is my gift. I have been blessed with an amazing husband who is not only my best friend but I can honestly say I would be lost without....our kids are just wonderful and I have lifetime friends that mean the world to me as well as family members that are great too! My parents actually celebrated their 33rd anniversary this week and I am really thankful for what they have taught me and I am so blessed to have them to look up too. I know they have gone through some tough times but TOGETHER they made it through!

I do feel like this blog jumps from thought to thought but that is what it is for, right? So many things I want to do with so little time. I hope Cy will get our computer fixed so I will have a better way to post pictures....add one more thing to the to do list:)

The Beginning

I hope this will be the beginning of a journey that will continue for a long time to come. I always say I am going to write things down but never do...so might as well start now. It is so heavy on my heart that my family, children and those that know me know how special they are to me. I think it would be so neat for my children to be able to look back and read/see that things that happened in their life and know how much the time with them is treasured and how much they are loved.....I wish I had the words to convey this the way others do. So here is to a blogspot that will possibly become a habit:)





I guess you are supposed to talk about things as well that happen in your life. SO today I had my first ever wreck. Nothing major with no visible damage but unfortunately it was my fault and life goes on. Hopefully we will never hear another thing from the lady that was not so very nice and Carson learned another lesson from mom about police and following the rules.





Brantley and Carson continue to do great. My prayer for them is that they know how much they are loved and how blessed our family is by them. Not only do I have an amazing husband and family but friends that are amazing!





Since this is down on paper....maybe that will make me follow through with this.
