Good afternoon everyone, I hope your Sunday is wonderful. Ours is busy. Bryan's mom is still in the hospital which is good today because there are several things we need to do today that don't include making another hospital run.  We had a good church service today and the praise music is always good.  We're having a cook out over at Les and Kimberly's and Z's tonight. The guys have gone to the lake to pull our boat back out. It had a "problem" yesterday. Anyway, we'll get it fixed hopefully before long. I hope you all have a really good week. 

Hello everyone, I've been out and I messed up my blog and couldn't get on for quite a few days. I've been busy this week. I was at the hospital with patients for 2 of those days and I was at a conference and also got to keep Zachary a little this week. I mowed the yard today and worked in the yard. I'm tired tonight for sure. I'm going to finish watching the movie Hancock and then I'll crawl into bed and read a little bit-one of my stories in Guidepost. I may even watch a little of forensic files.  If you get a chance to see Hancock be sure and see it. Will Smith is the star. It's a good movie. Zachary doesn't have to have his blood drawn for another 2 weeks!!!  He's been dropping a point a week but he went 2 weeks and hadn't even dropped a point. That's so exciting for Les and Kimberly because hopefully we won't have to have another transfusion.  I made the reservations for the kids to come down next month.  We had some flight coupons so it's good I won't have to pay much for tickets this trip. That's always good. They are so excited to be coming down for the summer. We always have so much fun. Well, gotta go for now so take care and have a great week!!!

Hey everyone, We had a neighborhood picnic this evening and we had a great time. It was so neat to meet neighbors that I hadn't ever met before. We have such a neat neighborhood!!!! We had a wonderful service today at church-it was a Memorial Day service and it was neat. We even had bagpipes.  Thank you all servicemen and women for your service to this great country!!!! We appreciate all you do. Now, let's see. The kids are doing good. We're excited, it's almost time for the grandchildren to be coming. It's a little less than month and then they'll be here. Zachary is doing so well also. He weighs about 11-12 pounds and is getting bigger. He's really smiling a lot and he's talking also. He had labwork again this week. I hope he's doing well and making his own red blood cells. We don't want him to have to have anymore transfusions.  I hope you all have a great Memorial Day!!!! and thank a serviceman or woman for their service.

Dear All, Well, this is Friday!!! Memorial Day weekend! Hard to believe. It seems like New Years day was yesterday. We're all okay-just busy!! I was out of town for a few days and loved it. Bryan's dad is in the hospital starting today-pulmonary embolism and bladder infection. It never ends. I'll write more on another day. Have a great evening.

Hi everyone, Well, STILL trying to figure this new machine out! I had a playlist acct. and it won't let me get into it. I put in all the right stuff and it still doesn't work. There is a song I want to add to it!!! Darn it. I don't understand. Oh well I'm leaving town for a few days with some friends of mine, Sammy and Lindy. We're going to Arkansas!!! Bryan is manning the ship with Christopher. You all take care and I'll see ya later.

I bought a new computer and I'm playing with it. It is incredible!! I have to buy me a "book for Dummies" though-this is a MAC    hahahaha

Hey everyone, Hope you are well. I am. Just busy. Not much to say today. Zachary's bloodwork came back wonderful. Caitlyn called me the other night-I was sooooo  happy to hear her sweet little voice. Can't wait til their here for the summer. I hope you all have a great evening. Enjoy the music and remember Jesus loves you.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!!!! I had a wonderful Mother's Day. My daughter celebrated her first Mother's Day with Mr. Zachary and Kodi. It's amazing that they had her a card in their bed's when she woke up this morning!!! Bryan and Christopher each had me a card when I got up and it was wonderful. I am so fortunate to have a husband and 3 kids who love me. Yes, that's right-3-Christopher, Kimberly, Les. I keep telling him that he's not a son in law-but a son. In fact, ask him about Julie's wedding-what I did to him. hehehe. I'll tell you-they announced that all mother's and son's get up to dance. He was holding Zachary and Kimberly was out visiting so I stood up, gave Zachary to another bride's maid(bride's sister) and told Les, "let's go-they said for mother's and son's to dance." He was surprised to say the least and more surprised that I could follow him on the dance floor. He even turned me, moved around and I still followed him. I had such a good time dancing with him because Christopher doesn't dance much nor does Bryan. I told Les that I used to dance with my dad and brother's a lot when I was younger. Don't have a chance to lately or I'd do it again!!!! Anyway, back to Mother's Day. Kimberly, Les, Zachary ate lunch with us and I got another card!!! It was wonderful. This evening I went to my mother in laws apartment and gave her a permanent(hair) because she's been in and out of hospitals since last November recovering from a broken hip. I cooked her dinner and she ate pretty good. Not a big eater at all!!! She LOVED the dessert though so that was good. Now, I'm heading for bed but wanted to say 'hi' for now. Tomorrow is a big day-the "twins" have their 2 month check-ups tomorrow. Kodi's at 9:30 where she'll get shots and flea stuff and Zachary at 1:30 where he'll get his 2 month immunizations (but no flea stuff). Have a great evening!!!!

Good morning everyone. Well, it's almost noon, oh well I'm slow this morning. I want to wish all you mom's out there a wonderful Mother's Day. Here are pictures of my children and the man that made me a mom.

We are all there in the bluebonnets-the Texas State flower. You all have a wonderful day and remember Jesus loves YOU!!

A great day today even with the transfusion!!! Zachary is beginning to make his own red blood cells!!!!!! Praise the Lord!!!!! The Dr. said they were small but there was bunch of them. She was so excited for Zachary. Dr. Cavalier is a doll.Anyway, he got 64 cc's of blood-that's a little over 2 ounces. It took 5 hours to do and he screamed the vast majority of that time. He didn't get to take a nap and he was really fussy. We're all just so happy that he's beginning to make those cells. Keep the prayers going for this little special boy. Kodi comes tomorrow-Zachary's new "sister"-a mix of lab/Australian shepard puppy. Well, ya'll I'm going to bed-I was up at 4am. Love ya'll!!!! Pray for my friend Mary Jane who is having surgery tomorrow morning at 8:00am.

Well, we're back from Austin. The wedding was nice and we have fun. Congratulations Julie and Nathan. Amy, I enjoyed meeting your Nathan also. Very nice young man. Bryan's mom came home from rehab last Thursday. The boys are swapping staying with them til we see how mom is doing. We gave her a bath this evening and we had been to the Dr. earlier in the day. She looked "spunkier" than I've seen her in a long time. Speaking of spunky-Bryan saw a raccoon in our yard the other morning. The little critter got into a bird house and ate the babies!!!!! Darn him. Bryan said it was a big one also. Well, Caleb's new little 'sister' comes Wed. afternoon. I know I told you that Kodiak's daddy fathered another litter of pups and there is a big girl that belongs to Kimberly and Les. Her name is Kodi-only because Kimberly couldn't talk Les out of naming her something close to Kodiak. We called Kodiak Kodi also but, oh well. Zachary goes tomorrow for another transfusion-hopefully the last one. Gotta go for now so take care, God Bless.
