My Flowers!!!

Yesterday was a very hard day for me but LOOK at what I got!!! My BEST friend Christie sent these to me at work yesterday. When the flowers were delivered I was wondering who sent them to me at first of course I though it was my hubby but it was Christie! This is what the card said:
" I know that today is rough but, remember we are here for you. All you need is friendship and love and you can make it through most anything. He may be gone but never forgotten."
And yes I cried again!!!!! I am so lucky to have such a great set of friends who understand what we are going through and that love us.

Christie Chris & my babies -Thank you sooooo very much for these they are BEAUTIFUL, I love yall!!

One year ago today! =(

A year ago today is the day my dad passed away and my world was turned upside down!!!!! It is still SOOOOOOO difficult. I miss him so much . Some days are good and others aren’t. Some days I only think about him a few times and don’t cry others I think about him all day and cry like a baby, today is the day I have been crying like a baby. Every time I think okay I am fine I start crying again.... It doesn’t make it any better that EVERYDAY I have to drive by the cemetery. I still go by the cemetery alot and can only stay for a minute b/c I get so upset. Countless times in one’s life he or she may have regrets. Whether it’s something they did or didn’t do. In any case, when a situation reoccurs you either learn from your mistakes or you don’t. Personally, and unfortunately, I have made many mistakes that I regret. Some of those errors hurt me and some hurt others. What haunts me now days, are all the regrets I have about what I didn’t do with my dad. I know I can’t change anything in the past, but it is extremely difficult NOT to ponder the “what if’s” and “why’s”. I still have so many questions that are unanswered and I know that they will never get answered until I see him again. I can only try to keep thinking positive and tell myself he is in a much better place and that he is not in ANY pain and that he has no more cancer..... I only wish that he had no more cancer and that he was still here with us. Colby needs his Pop, and I really need my dad. I need him to be here to tell me everything is going to be fine, for him to tell me how proud he is of me and Chris, My gosh I wish he was still here for me to just see his beautiful blue eyes and see that beautiful smile he had. For him to watch Colby grow into a wonderful boy that he is growing into, to really see him play Soccer and see him play Basketball and for him to see my baby sister grow up go to college and one day get married and have kids of her own and to give her the guidance she needs. I don’t even know what to say other than I am left with a hole in my heart that will remain empty and that no one can ever fill. I MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DADDY!!

Chris & Colby

Chris was trying to show Colby some new tricks. They had such a good time.

The Carr Family

THE TRACK in PC Beach

Chris & Colby were trying so hard not to let Big Daddy, Coy or Cody pass them.. It was so funny to sit and watch all of them.

Happy 54th Birthday!!

Today is my mom's birthday. She is such a wonderful mother & Nannie.
HAPPY 54th BIRTHDAY MOMMA!!!!
We love you!

Happy 56th Birthday Daddy!!

So far today has been a really hard day for our family and it is still early. Today my dad would have turned 56 if he were still here with us, but I am sure he is living it up and having the best birthday he has ever had in Heaven but I just wish he was here so we could celebrate together. Please pray for our family today and in the next few week as Aug. 14th is coming really fast. This time last year we were sitting in the hospital for his birthday and he was really sick but still would smile that Beautiful smile when I said Happy Birthday & I Love You about 900 times. I remember asking him if he felt any older and he would smile & say no. It seems like yesterday that our lives started to change when we realized that was the last birthday we would have with him and he would have to spend it in the hospital. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY, I LOVE YOU!!

Our Family Pictures on the beach!

Here are some of our Family pictures from the beach ! My baby isnt a baby anymore he looks like a little man now. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful and healthy son.

The SHARK!!

Yes this is a real shark!! Some guys were fishing right beside us on the beach and they caught about 35 of these bull sharks.... Needless to say we didn't get back into the water after we saw them. Colby wanted to take one home with him so they let him have it. It was dead when we got back to our condo and Colby decided to put it in the pool!! I about had a heart attack, but of course he thought it was cool to have a shark in the pool.

Back for PC!!

We got back from the beach on Saturday night. We had such a wonderful time. It was so BEAUTIFUL, although we did see alot of jellyfish one day but other thsn that the water was amazing. Here are a few pictures of our trip.

Gone to the Beach !!!

We are heading to the beach in the morning YEA!!!! I am so ready to just relax and have some fun with the family and get some sun!! I am sure we will have many pictures when we get back..

Woodsy Girl Shirts!

If you go to our other blog WOODSY GIRL you can check out our shirts they are finally finished!

When it rains it pours!!!!!

They have always said when it rains it pours and it is pouring for my family!!! I just want to give a little update on our family. On Friday we did find out that my Aunt Ollie has Acute Leukemia, but it is not as aggressive as they thought. I don't know really if that is good news or not, they said that about my dad to and he died. She will have Chemo on Friday at 9:00. I have no idea how she can even handle Chemo but they say miracles do happen.. And to top it off my mom's mom (Grandmother) is really sick. My aunt Janice called my mom yesterday and said that we needed to come over today and see her b/c she was not real sure how much longer she would be here. I keep telling myself it cant get any worse, but goodness... I keep trying to stay positive but right now my life stinks (well this part does), I am so scared we are going to loose 2 more people we love. I am so greatful to have a wonderful family that sticks together through thick & thin!!So PLEASE keep my family in your prayers right now we really need it. And thank you for all the prayers we have already had just keep praying...

Update on my Aunt Ollie

Chris & I went to see my aunt Ollie at the hospital yesterday on our way home from work and God love her heart she is pitiful. She was so week and she had her little feather hat on looking so cute. She is in very good spirits and was talking up a storm. On her board in her room it says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. We asked her who wrote that and she told us her nurse and she said that is true isn’t it I can do all things through him... I know that is true but I am heartbroken right no!!! We just lost my dad in August last year and now this!! Does it ever get any better???? Anyway she was mad at us for not going to get Colby before we came. She loves that boy! As soon as we walked in she said where is my baby I know yall didnt come up here to see me and not bring him! This is the update so far from one of her nurses: the pathology report should be back today to determine exactly what is going on. She did get a blood transfusion yesterday and is on medication. All we know right now is that is it 1 of the 2 things: Acute Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome. We should find out today for sure which one it is and see what her options are. Please pray for all of us who will have to get her to understand her options are. And please please pray for her! As soon as I find out more I will let you know. Thank you all for your prayers!
Love, Chris, Nichole & Colby

Please pray for our family!

We got new yesterday that my Great-Aunt (Ollie) was admitted into the hospital. She has not been herself for a while now and when she went back to the Dr. he admitted her right away. She is in her 80's and she is so frail right now, she would or I should say could only drink 3 yes 3 Ensure a day!!!! They have her on a IV so I hope and pray that will help her regain her strength. She has had alot of problems lately and they don't know what is wrong right now. They did alot of tests and drew blood yesterday and we should find out something today. Please just pray that God takes care of her, our family has been threw so much in the past 3 years with my dad struggling with cancer and passing last August we just need all the prayer we can get especially her. Thank you !~!

Spring Valley Beach

Sunday we went to Spring Valley Beach with Chris' family and we had a blast. Here are a few pictures I took of our trip.

Payten's 2nd B-day Party

Saturday we went to my cousin Kristy's house for her little girl Payten's birthday party. She has gotten so big since the last time we got to see her. Look at how pretty she is check out that pretty hair.

Colby brought along his skateboard of course and Payten wanted to try it out herself. She was so funny b/c she had a horse in 1 hand and a dog in the other. If you look you can see her shoes they are the plastic play shoes she would not take them off.. Here is a picture of Colby with Colson Helms, he is so cute!!! He loved Colby and said Colby was his new friend. Whatever Colby was doing Colson was right behind him. He kept putting Colby's hat on and it was so big on him.
