I love Summertime!!

Not alot really going on..of course we had the most wonderful camp you could have imagine!! It was very AWESOME!! Here is a picture....

We all had a wonderful time...the services were outstanding!! I haven't been in services like that in a long time if ever!!! They were powerful!! Bro. Anthony Dyer was our evangelist and he truly let the Lord use him!!

Other than that it has been slow since camp. I have been staying pretty busy with the kids..softball games, library, slip-n-slide, and other fun things!! I love summertime because me and the kids stay up late, sleep late, and really just have a blast!! Yes, I do have to work laundry and house cleaning in there somewhere but it's all good!! LOL!

Well that is about it for now..I'll post more later...Our Regional Convention is this coming weekend..excited about that!!

Good News About my MOM

Today we went back to the doctor...it was the first doctor visit since the big ordeal last month. They said they would start her on a new chemo..this chemo they said would not be as affective as the prior chemo she was on. So that being said there is a lesser percent that this chemo will be effective. BUT...my God is sooooo good!! There is this blood test that they do that tells them the amount of tumors you have in your body..it is said to be a tumor marker...it is called a C125. They do this blood test everytime she goes and right after her surgery, back in April her tumor marker was 147. That is high..but let me say that when we first found out that she had Ovarian cancer it was up int the thousands!! So that was still low compared to were it once was. Last month when we went it had dropped from 147 to 57...nice drop..well they were unable to give her chemo last month due to her bad reaction..guess what it was this month without chemo???? a 19...God is so awesome!! anything below 35 is considered normal range...it is actually lower now than it was back in Januray at a 26. She has been as low as a 8 before when God healed her the first time...I feel like God is doing his mighty work for her again!! Praise the Lord!! I just wanted to share this with everyone...thanks for all who have been praying!! I know someone or several have reached the throne of God for us!! Just continue to keep her in your prayers because she is going to continue on with this chemo and the doctors are hoping it will work but God is the one working!!! I just wanted to share this wonderful testimony..and I pray I have more to come concerning mom!! Love each of you!!

Yesterday was one of the longest days of my life!!!

Just like my title says..Yesterday was one of the longest days of my life!! It started out rainy and dreary...I took my mom to have chemo. Mom turned into a human pin cushion. It took 3 nurses and 7 sticks before they could get the IV for the chemo to go in her. At that point I was starting to feel a little skeptical about the whole thing..I was thinking about just telling them I'm taking her home..we'll come back another day..but I didn't..wish I would have. As the day went on she was doing okay..she ate some lunch I had brought her and was doing okay. They then started the second half of her chemo treatment....everything went down hill from there...The Nurse warned us if she started feeling the least bit funny to get her immediately!! We didn't really think much of it because she had had this particular type of chemo several times before. But within about a minute of it going into her system I saw a horrible look on my mothers face!! I asked her if she was okay and all she could get out was "I think I'm going to puke!" I went for the nurse...they pulled her from the chemo and immediately started giving her medication..she started seizing, the nurses called for the Doctor and also started calling a code...I stood there praying out loud for my mom to be okay...It was horrible!! I was so scared!! The Doctor got there and Nurse was screaming out her to wake up, you can't do this!!! I thought we'd lost her!! I really did!! But before they got the code cart to her she began to wake up ON HER OWN!! Thank you Jesus!! My God is REAL!! They watched her for a while and then said she was able to go home..and that they would never give her that kind of chemo again..They said that sometimes people that have had that many cycles of the same chemo can not tolerate it anymore after a certain point...people react to it in several different ways...The nurses were glad I was there to come and get them...I have heard of people having a reaction to chemo and dying...so you can see why I was so tore up!! I just am saying all of this to Praise MY LORD!! I know my mom is sick..but I also know that MY GOD HEALS!! He healed her once before and I know he's working on her again!! Please continue to pray for my mom..Anyone that knows her knows how precious of a person she is to everyone!! She's a giver and would give the shoes off her feet to you!! We go next month to see the doctor and find out what they are going to do next....they said they would probably start her on a different kind of chemo...just pray for her...I never want to go through that again with her...It was scary.. I've been up to check on her this morning and she is looking very good and resting!! Pray for her, Her name is Joy Wilcox..Please call her name out in your prayers!! Thanks so much!!

Another day

Today is Wednesday, hump day, middle of the week......it's rainy outside so we are staying in today. Last night we took Taylor to Build A Bear and Toys R Us for her Birthday. She had a blast and got a adorable unicorn at Build A Bear which she named Lucy. She's a Ballerina, Lucy that is...Taylor is a Princess..so she thinks..LOL!! She then bought a bunk bed for her babies with her B-day money. She is such a girly girl...Haley never did really get into the baby dolls and Barbies the way Taylor has. Taylor is a lot like me in so many ways. I was always playing with dolls and barbies and dress up..all that girly kind of stuff.

Well tonight is church...it's an extra Wed...for us..We are having a BTI service tonight and also business meeting. It's a little past due...but not by much...We've been traveling so much this past month going to our district churches that we've had a hard time fitting it in..so tonights the night. yippee.. LOL!!

This weekend is Youth Convention at Elizabethtown, KY... Very excited!! I get to see some friends out of our region that are going to be visiting that I haven't seen in awhile...really excited about that..they had better not change their mind...(I doubt they will..LOL)

Well guess I'll end this for now...I'm just writing about nothing..just felt like posting...I think I'll go put the gals down for their nap now...write more later.

Getting ready to leave for church...

Just thought I'd write a short something for we leave for church. It's been a quite day over all. I've been a little stressed but I need to just put it in God's hands.

It's been a pretty day outside today...a little cool still but the sun makes it seem so much nicer. It is suppose to be in the eighties on Saturday..I'm so glad too because that is Taylor's birthday party and I wanted to have it outside..so it looks like I will get to do that. I can't believe that little stinker is going to be 4 years old. She's truly a gift to us. Keeps us laughing..

Well I guess I'd better run...it's church time!!!

Update on Mom

Just wanted to thank everyone who said a prayer for mom. They ran several tests and all the tests that had come back did not show any obstructions or anything to really worry about. So they sent her home with a very mild diet. I know God touched her body because she was really sick before she went. So thank you friends for praying and especially I thank the Lord for his touch!!

I do want to let everyone know that when she had her surgery they did find some nodules on the liner of her abdomen. Therefore she will begin chemo once again on May 4th. She's very down about that, as we all are. So please do not stop praying for her. God did a miracle on her once before and I know he can do it again!!!

Love you all Lots!!

Monday, April 20, 2009

Please Remember my mom in prayer!!

I just wanted to get on here and ask anyone who reads this to please pray for my mom!! She had surgery on April 9th..and the last few days shes been throwing up and can't keep much down. My dad is taking her to the ER right now..so Please say a prayer for her..

Thanks to all my friends who have prayed for her...please continue..I know that GOD is the only one who can make things better!!

Love ya'll!

My Bunnies

I posted these pictures on facebook..but a lot of you all don't get on there ...so I thought I'd have a little more fun at my husbands expense (teehee) and post them on here too..We've had a lot of laughs out of these....

My little girl, Taylor, did this to him...





And then she did this to Booker...Booker couldn't let Donald out do him...haha!!!

I'm still alive...

It's been awhile since I blogged. There has not been a lot to blog about here. Staying busy but just with everyday stuff. I do have a very important prayer request though..And I ask that anyone who reads this would say a prayer for my mother, Joy Wilcox. She was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer a year and a half ago. She went through a series of chemo and was miraculously healed. I mean if you could have seen her when she was diagnosed and then after her healing you would know it was truly the hand of God. She had it all through her body. Well the other day we went back to the doctor and they said the catscan says she has a cyst that has reoccurred. That scared us of course. They said probably the best thing for her would be surgery to remove it and then another round of chemo. My mom is very scared of surgery but I think that is what she is opting to do. We will meet with the doctor again on Monday..April 6th. Please say a prayer for her and for the family...God preformed a miracle in her once and I know he can do it again. She's a wonderful lady that I know the Lord has used during all of this....I don't feel like he's done with her yet.

On other news ..not a lot going on.. Donald had his Carpel Tunnel Release surgery on Monday. He's doing pretty good....he doesn't like it that he can't drive anywhere..but they said no for two weeks...I'm not used to him being home all the time..so thats been a adjustment...but he is doing well.

Well I think I'll go for now...Spring Break is next week..and we were going to go camping but now I don't think we are going to get to because of his surgery. Well bye for now..

Prayer Request

Please remember my mom in your prayers. She's not been feeling the best. I know God healed her of her cancer...but sometimes I want to doubt. Please say a prayers for me too that my faith not be so weak. We take her on Monday for a Catscan..(it's a routine one, every 6 months) I just want nothing to be found. She has been weak at her stomach..not feeling to good at all. So please remember her in your prayers...Thanks.

Rough Day...

It started off with a killer migraine!! I laid down for a little while and the headache finally went away but now I'm left weak from the migraine. We are going to a local church in Winchester, not The Church of God, that Donald was asked to come and preach at tonight so I hope that some of my strength comes back before tonight...I asked my mom if the girls could stay with her tonight..I just don't think I have the strength to make them behave in church...They are usually very good..well Haley is...LOL..Taylor is good to a point..but she has her moments..but she's only three..I think she does good for a three year old..but tonight I just don't think I'm up to it...

Plus, I have a unspoken prayer request...I just don't feel at liberty to share on here...so if you would just say a little prayer for me...I need it today!! Thanks..love you guys!!

My new Bulletin


This is my latest Bulletin Board I've done at church. I love doing the bulletin boards for the kids class room...so fun!!

Wednesday, February 18, 2009

Hello!!

Well it is now Wednesday...not much going on at all..Monday night I took Haley to Destination Imagination (school thing) and me and my Aunt went shopping while we waited on her and Chelsea. Last night I took Haley and my niece, Lauren, out to CiCi's Pizza. That was good. Then we went to our very dead mall and went in the Dollar Tree. They had five dollars a piece to spend..so they spent it...haha..on junk, pretty much..LOL!!

Tonight is Wednesday so I will be going to church...I miss my hubby not being home..but we're surviving..He'll be back Friday sometime. Maybe this will be the last time for him to have to leave for awhile.

Well that's about it for now...

I thought this was a very good picture of my mom and dad at Haley's Birthday Party. My mom is goofing off in it...I think it is funny!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hey just thought I'd type a little ...and wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!! We are going to Haley's Basketball game today and then afterwards we are going to the mall...I think we are going to Build a Bear and then do some shopping...Haley got all kinds of money for her Birthday..that she's wanting to spend..REAL BAD!! LOL!!

Last night my Hubby brought me home a dozen Red Roses and a box of chocolates...(little does he know that the box of chocolates would have been just fine..but the roses were sweet too...) He's such a sweetheart and then we went out to eat at a Mexican Restaurant with a gift certificate that we had gotten back at Christmas Time from my uncle. I told him since I am not working and the funds are a little low right now not to worry about getting me anything for V-day..but wouldn't you know it he did. He had gotten a tip at work from someone today and he used it on me..how sweet. I love him!! He told me that 15 years we have been dating/married and he had never forgotten to give me Roses!!

Anyways...enough sappy talk for now...I guess I better get myself ready so we can get going...Hope everyone has a special Valentine's Day!!!

Friday, February 13, 2009

It's Friday

Yes, it's finally Friday...It's been a LLLLOOONNNGGGG week!! A busy one too..but I am not looking forward to next week because Donald will be out of town again for class! It is always so hard when he's not at home. Even though it feels like when he is here I still carry the brunt of the load as far as children and housework go and organizing and everything like that....it gets a lot harder when he's gone. Atleast he does pitch in and help, unlike some husbands that I've heard about. I'm thankful for my sweet, wonderful Husband and besides it being harder when he is not here, I miss him terribly when he's not around!!!

Okay enough rambling...me and the girls are going to have a Valentine Party when they get up from their nap in a little while...I don't have the girls I babysit on Saturday, so we're doing it today...It'll be fun!!

I'll write more later.

Our Craft..


Since I've been at home and not working I have been trying to go through the alphabet each day and go over the letters with Taylor and the other little girls that I babysit. Yesterday was the letter T...and for our craft we made a Turtle. I thought it turned out so cute I wanted to share it with you..This is a picture of Taylor's Turtle... Today we did U...I cut out a U out of construction paper and turned it upside down to make a umbrella. I enjoy doing these little crafts with them each day...the neat thing about it is..that tomorrow is V and it is the day before Valentine's day....how cool..so we are having a Valentine's party tomorrow...how fun!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet and beautiful daughter, Haley Renee!!




My Beautiful 9 year old young lady!!


Just wanted to wish my beautiful daughter, Haley a very Happy Birthday!! She turned 9 today!! Wow!! Every year I am just amazed that another year has past again...I remember exactly what I was doing this day 9 years ago...She has turned into such a sweet, caring, and compassionate little lady. I had brought the groceries in yesterday and I picked up a little something for Taylor to give her big sis and Haley saw it and said something..and I said you little peeker to her..later that night she said.."mom I feel guilty about seeing my gift, I'm sorry" I told her it wasn't her fault...it was mine for not putting it away fast enough...she's just so thoughtful in so many ways!! she makes me so proud to be her mother!! I love her so very much!! She sure changed my life 9 years ago..but ALL of it for the good..I don't know what I would ever do without her!! She's a precious treasure!!

Thursday, February 05, 2009

Back to normal!!

WOW!! I don't even know where to begin...Last week was wild!!! As many may have heard a Winter ICE storm hit Kentucky!! It was BAD!! I think twenty four people the last time I heard have been killed in this ICE storm!! We did not have electric for 5 days during this storm. The ice was 3 or 4 inches thick. Many around us still does not have electric back on. Ice is so much worse than snow!!!

We did pretty good the first day or so..but boredom kicked in and we began getting very irritable!! haha... We had to pull our mattresses in the living room and close off the rest of the house to keep it warm enough for us to stay in our house. Fortunately we have a Gas Heater..(many were not as fortunate) so we were able to keep warm from that..we also have a Gas stove to cook with..so we were able to still do most of our cooking at the house. Needless to say we ate ALOT of soup!! LOL!!! We went to bed at like 8:30 the first night..out of not knowing what to do with ourself because the sun had went down and all we had was candle light...We played charades and other crazy games for awhile..My oldest daughter even said.."my parents are better than cable!" haha...I guess we can act really crazy if we need to to entertain.

But we eventually became bored of that too...so my WONDERFUL Father...found a place that was getting a new shipment in of generators...because up until this point you could find them for miles around..(believe me we know..we did our homework and could not find one ANYWHERE...several counties away) Anyways he went and got one and let us hook up to it..that provided us with a lamp, and the TV...Perfect..now I could watch TV or READ...two of my most favorite things to do....

Anyways when our electric did come back on we yelled and hollered..it was a very rejoicing event!! I guess the thing I hated the most was that we couldn't take a hot shower...that really means a lot...I heated water so we could bathe and Donald's sister was kind to let us come to her house to take a shower...but it was rough...

It is Thursday of the next week now..we did get a little more snow after all of that..but that wasn't too bad...Now I think ....I don't know if I should say it or not...but.... I think....Things.... are back to normal... (looks around and puts hands over head..) LOL...just kidding...I hope everyone else is having or had a better week.

Here are a few pics..of the Ice Storm...

Our house is just beyond all the iced trees!!

The trees are so heavy with all the ice....


MY FRONT YARD...I still have some of the damage still left in my yard.


Even though it was very bad...it is pretty.

A split tree by the ice...that was a pretty tree too.

My Baby Dolls

Just had to share this adorable picture of my girls...all snuggled up with each other one morning..and if you look really close you can see Haley's "stuffed animal" or I guess it is a "plastic crocodile" that she sleeps with every night..kinda of a weird little girl...she likes odd things..LOL!! His name is Ricky.

blah, blah, blah.



Okay..I have the blah's today. I am such a boring person lately....I don't really do much at all but clean, clean, clean and do laundry. That seems all I do. I think the cold weather and me being inside so much has started to do a number on me....I wish it would warm up outside..I hate being cooped up inside all the time... And to me unless it is just necessary it isn't worth me bundling the kids up and myself just to go do something pointless. Maybe I need to anyways. Maybe it would get me out of this complacency.

Well next month we'll have District Convention..so maybe I"ll get to see some people I haven't seen in awhile..that will be nice.

Donald made it to Ohio safely. He seems to be enjoying himself..I'm glad..sometimes a person just needs to get away for a few days..makes you appreciate things better. I'm not talking about him per say..I mean everybody needs to do that sometimes...including me...LOL!!!

Well that is it for now...I'll show you a couple pictures of Haley's Basketball game.

Kids are back in school!!

Well Haley finally went back to school today. She wasn't all that excited about it..LOL!! I've been watching the Inauguration today. Not all that thrilled but we shall see what the future holds. Even though Barak is definitely not my pick for Presidency, I still enjoy watching the way our country puts a new president in as the old one leaves. All the traditions and such..very interesting to me...and to me very touching. Anyways enough about that..I have just decided to pray for our country and the Lord's will and TRY not to grumble to much..LOL!!

Donald leaves today for Ohio. He has some training he has to go there for his job. He will be gone until Friday...I hate it when he leaves...He's such a big help with the kids that it makes it very hard when he's not here, plus I just like it when we are together verses apart. He's my sweetheart.

Well for some reason I'm feeling all sappy today...so I think I'll end this blog for now..before I say something REALLY sappy...haha...

Monday, January 19, 2009

It finally snowed!!

Yes, it finally snowed..I mean it isn't really enough to go sledding in or make a snowman but it atleast covered the ground and made it look so pretty!! So I'm happy! Now I'm ready for spring...I want to skip feb. and part of march (maybe all) and go directly to spring time!!!

Yesterday was a very LAZY day! We did nothing..just hung out at the house. Donald's mother came by and said hi and then later that evening Donald's sister came by and took Haley to her house to spend the night. She has a step daughter the same age as Haley...so they have fun hanging out. So Taylor, Donald, and I made peanut butter cookies..( I know I shouldn't be using peanut butter..but it was a mix..does that count???)So far we haven't got sick. That was about it for our Sunday...

Well that's about it for today to. Taylor just walked up to my moms for a little while and Haley is still over at her Aunt Janna's....so I need to get some house work done and some laundry done...Donald leaves on a trip tomorrow for his job. So I better have him some clothes ready to pack...talk to you guys later!!

Sunday, January 18, 2009

It's Sunday...

Well...It's Sunday and the weather is to bad to have service this morning...seems kinda weird not to be in church...I'm not sure if it will be okay by tonight to have church or not..we're just trying to play it by ear.

Yesterday we went to Haley Basketball game..they did ALOT better this time but still lost, but only by 3 points this time..They are definitely getting better!! Maybe next week will be our week...we'll see. (smile)

After that we went out to eat at Sonny's BBQ...I love that place...GOOD FOOD!! Then we went out in the boone docks to look at this house for sale..We didn't realize it was soooo FAR out in the middle of nowhere..but it was...Nice house, but I don't want to live that far out. I like be able to get to the grocery store and other stores pretty quick. We are looking to buy something..but just not sure when. We actually thought we'd be able to build out here on the family farm were we live but unfortately they are stipulations that will not allow us to according to our wonderful county goverment...we got that discouraging news on Friday...We were a little disappointed..but oh well..we'll get over it..

After that I took the girls to my mom and dads house and let them stay there while me and Donald went to the hospital to visit my friends grandfather. He had open heart on Wed. I didn't get in to see him because he is still in intensive care unit but the family said he was doing good for the surgery he just had.

After that we went and looked for some more houses..I just can't seem to find one I REALLY like...I don't know..maybe something will pop up, who knows?!?!?!

Came home and just relaxed after that..very enjoyable day.

Well thats about it for me...write more later.

Gingerbread House


Okay..just wanted to show you all some of the pictures of Haley's Gingerbread House...She is very proud of it!!




It's still COLD!!

Well..it's Thursday and Haley didn't have school today..Not because of the snow..because we didn't get any...(boohoo) But it is sooo cold out there that they called school off. It is suppose to be way colder tonight. And still know prospect of snow!! Whats up with that?!?!?!

So we are going to try and entertain ourselves inside today...Haley has a gingerbread house that she has been wanting to put together..so maybe we'll do that today. That would make her happy. We rented a Little Mermaid movie for Taylor last night at the wonderful REDBOX..I love that thing. I'm not sure how widespread they are but we have this little machine in front of our Mcdonald's where we live and it allows you to rent movies from it..ONLY ONE DOLLAR!! WOOHOO!! I LOVE IT!! and then you can return it back to any REDBOX you happen to be around. Really neat creation!! So they are watching that right now.

Well it's really been pretty boring lately..so I guess I'll end this post for now..Hope everyone is staying warm.

I'm dieting..aaahhhgggg

I hate dieting...but I have to!! I've gained so much weight since I've been not working and through the Christmas season. I can feel it in my clothes..which I don't like more than dieting!! Last year..I lost 30 pounds on weight watchers..I got down to 125 pounds..I loved it!! Why, why, did I gain it back???? I just can't control my sweet tooth. So right now as I'm setting here I am eating chunks of pineapple..which I like but a snickers would be much better. Oh well..we'll see what happens..Donald is staring Weight Watchers back up so Maybe I'll be able to lose with him. We shall see.

It's been a some what calm day...the little girl that I babysit has fell twice and got her hand stuck in the closet door once, but other than that I think we are doing okay. She bloodied her lip the first time she fail...I hate it when a kid I'm watching does that..but she's 2, they fall alot...or atleast mine always has.

Well I think that is about it for now..I need to figure out a exercise to do..I enjoy walking but it is just way too cold outside...so I've got think of something in doors..I wish I had that wiifit but I don't ..so I must get creative...

Well bye for now.

Baby, it's cold outside!!

I'm just sitting here looking out the window watching the wind blow!! It is so cold outside and it is going to get even colder! I know some of you have it much colder than we have it here but I just really hate cold weather. And we aren't even' getting snow. We haven't got one significant snow yet this year. At least let us get one good snow fall if it is going to be cold. haha...OKay..enough complaining.

Everything around here has been pretty good. Haley had her first ballgame on Saturday. Unfortunately they lost, but it was still a fun game to watch and Haley had a blast playing!! I'm glad Haley is able to be a part of it. She is part of an Upwards team. It is really neat because it has a religious background. A church actually sponsors it. And they teach them bible verses, they have prayer before the games, and devotions. A lot of communities have Upwards..I highly recommend them if you are into or wanting to find a sport for your child to play..They have soccor and I think other sports too..really neat.

Well I guess I'll get off here and try to get something accomplished..I haven't felt like doing much today..maybe it's the weather or something..but I think I have a case of the blah's. I'm not a winter time person..after Christmas I wish it would just get warm again..but I will endure till Spring..say a prayer for me ...love ya'll!!

A relaxing day.....

Today was a very relaxing day...I had to clean my house yesterday because we had a ABM service here..so today I didn't really have much house work to do..YAY!! So I was able to relax a lot but I also got my end of the quarter church books done for Sunday Night's Business Meeting..hooray!! That is very time consuming!! I still need to get all the members tithes receipts for the end of the year together for everyone..but I'm pretty much done with most of it...what a relief?!?!?!

I made pot roast tonight. It turned out very good..I wish I had made some cornbread to go with it though...I thought about it as we were setting down to eat it..oh well..light bread is okay too.

Well thats about it for the day..it is snowing here..but not sure if it will accumulate. We've all got our fingers crossed..

Winter Time

Okay..it seems that now the holidays are over it has started slowing down. I've been so busy,busy, busy that now it seems kinda dull not to have to be doing something constantly...It's nice, but I'm afraid I will begin to get bored soon. We are having a Band Service here at the house tonight...so I'm going to cook some sausage stars tonight...I've never cooked them so I hope they turn out good..we'll see. Haley's Basketball starts Saturday..and that will be a every Saturday event through January and February. Other than that I can't really think of anything. We will be having our District Convention the first weekend in Feb. I think we are going to have it in Winchester so that will not require any traveling. Which I like..I'm not much on getting to far away from home in the winter time...Well thats about it for now..I'll leave you with a picture of the girls in their Christmas Dresses...

Happy New Years Everyone!!

I just wanted to get on here and tell everyone a Happy New Years!! We had a Night Watch Service with Bro. Risch as our Guest Speaker. It was very good. We were so glad to have him in our home also. Sis. Risch unfortunately couldn't make it due to some back problems..please keep her in your prayers. We really missed her not being with us!

So yesterday, New Years Day, we went out to eat with Bro. Risch and then he had to get on home back to his wife. So we came home and goofed off for a little while and then we took the Girls over to Donald's moms to spend the night. Before we got to his moms we stopped at the mall because Haley got a hermit crab for Christmas and now Taylor is wanting one. So we stopped by the mall to see if we could find her one..but the little shop was closed...so she was bummed, but she got over it...we told her we would try and get her one soon.

After we left his moms we came home and ate dinner at my parents house. My dad made some good chicken and dumplins!! Then we went down to my aunts for a little while and hung out with them...came home played some wii...and went to bed. Overall it was a good start to the new year..

Happy New Years!!
