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.

Happy Birthday to My Beautiful Daughter, Taylor Nicole

I just wanted to wish my Beautiful Daughter, Taylor Nicole a very Happy 4th Birthday!! I can't believe she is actually 4 now!! WOW..where has the time went!! She is sooo funny and keeps us laughing everyday!! She is so quick to..I mean you can say something and she has a reply almost as fast as the comment leaves my mouth. Very witty! She really thinks about things too...nothing ever gets by her. She is so comical!! What a wonderful daughter...I'm so glad I have her in my life because even when things look rough she has away of cheering me up and making me laugh!! I love you Taylor!!!

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!!

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!!!

Easter Photos...

Here are some of our Easter Photos....The wind was blowing our hair in our face...





Haley and a friend from church, Mark...



Taylor and a little friend from church, Trey..Notice how TALL my girls seem to be next to the boys...haha...I think Trey wanted her sucker..He was sure eyeing it....LOL!! I believe she could take him though..haha...

My wonderful girls!!!

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..

Easter Bulletin

Here is my Easter Bulletin for this year...

my puppy

This is my dog, Booker. I took this picture of him because it looked like he had a pacifier in his mouth..LOL!! It's actually a ring pop sucker that he stole from one of the girls...He's was very satisfied with himself and wouldn't about to give it up...LOL!! He's my little babydoll!!

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!!

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!!!

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!!
