CALLING ALL PRAYER WARRIORS!!!!

Some of you may or may not know that my mom is getting a biopsy done this coming Wednesday.. She had noticed that one of her lymph nodes were swollen and she and her Oncologist thought it was just scar tissue from when they removed one last year. Well it had gotten larger so he sent her to get some tests done. The Dr. she was sent to did a x-ray only (why they didn't do anything else like a biopsy I don't know. We got the results back on Tuesday and the surgeon said that she saw something there that was not there before (DUH!!!) and that she wanted to get a biopsy on Wednesday. That all happened around 12 and we saw her Oncologist around 1:30. He told us that he was 99.9% sure that the cancer was back... Not the news we wanted obviously. He told us that the cancer she has which is small cell is very treatable but not curable. he said that she could do just like last time have her chemo & radiation and be clear for a while and then it come back or she could be clear for years... He is starting her chemo back week after next once a week for about 2 hours and see how it goes from there. please just keep us all in your prayer during this time. Pray that our mom will have the same attitude she did the first go round and that things go good.

HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY BUBBY!!

I can’t believe that 12 years ago today our lives were completely changed for the good, at 12:06 a.m. we became parents to a healthy 8.5lb; 21 1/2 in. baby boy... He had brought such joy to our lives in the past 12 years, don't get me wrong he has his moments but every kid does.. We are very proud of the way he has grown and is growing into such a young Christian man. Bubby- Mommy and Daddy love you so very much and are so glad we have you!!!!

Me & My boys!!

Without these two I don't know what I would do. They are the reason I wake up in the morning and the reason for living. I love my boys more than life itself.

Poor Sugar...

Sugar was the center of attention at the party. By the end of the afternoon she was pooped and all she wanted to do was lay beside Chris.

Can you say SCARED!!!

Ok... SO as you can see in these pictures this is a ledge that leads to a window and under us is NOTHING but steps that lead downstairs.. Why they put this ledge there, i have no idea besides they wanted someone like all of us to walk on it to get a picture by the window.. This was one of the first things that the "boys" did.. On the last night there Chris & Colby finally talked me into waling to the window to take a few pictures. At first I thought no big deal I can do it but by the time I got half way there I was scared to death I was going to fall... When you are looking down from that high (about 20 feet) it looks like a loooong way down. As you can tell I was holding on for dear life to the window seal and then to the wall and by the time I got back to the end my heart was beating 1000 miles an hour.

My Boys

Trying to find his Mommy a DIAMOND...

Colby wanted to go into this shop from day one of our trip to find some gems. On our last night there we let him do it and he had so much fun finding the gems he found. He found a good bit in the bucket he got. He told me that he was looking for a diamond for me. He is such a sweet and loving kid. Wouldn't it have been crazy if he had really found a diamond!! The guy in the shop gave him this Huge lump of gold so I could take a picture of it , it was have been nice to have it as well.
