Congrats Eden B!!!

Eden graduated from the 5th grade today!! Its so hard to believe. It seems like she should still be in diapers.

We are all very proud of her. I didnt get too good of pics because I was holding Callie and she was asleep. Cal did great through the whole thing and even when we were leaving people were stopping us to tell us how good she was:)

God help us to think before we act

I say this because I found out this morning that one of my friends found out that her friends little 3 year old daughter drowned yesterday. This happened when her mother left her outside playing while she went in to use the restroom.

To anyone who reads this please say a prayer for this family. I can not imagine going through the loss of a child....

My 1st Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was great. Callie got me a Journey Diamond Necklace that I have been wanting for a long time. It has so much meaning to me. It was wonderful to finally be a Mommy on Mother's Day.

I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with my family. I just wish Daddy were here to share it with us.

emotions emotions emotions

So I have spent the last hour and a half crying my eyes out over the fact of Callie being 6 months old. I know it may sound silly but I am having such a hard time dealing with it. I don't know if its because I still feel like the beginning of her life was such a whirlwind with losing Dad or what.

I do however feel so blessed to have her turn 6 months old instead of the alternative. I truly thank God every chance I get for giving me a healthy and happy baby.

Looking back

I can not believe how quickly time passes now that I am a Mommy. It is so hard to believe that Callie will be 6 months old tomorrow! These are a few of my favorite memories. I love you Callie Lanae!!!!

Crazy day

I dont know about everyone else but I am so tired of storms and tornadoes. We had cartoons on because of the kiddos so I took off to town to go to the bank and to get lunch. Well I knew something was up when I pulled up and the bank was closed and everyone that worked there was standing at the door looking out. So I called the banks phone # to ask if there was a problem. Mind you yes it was storming its butt off but I didn't think anything about it. The girl proceeded to tell me that there were 2 tornadoes headed toward Sheridan.

I then went next door to get the kids lunch at McDonald's and while the girl was taking my money her manager plus about 5 others all ran to the drive in window and screamed for me to look up. The way I was sitting in the truck I couldn't see anything though. It turned out to be something be thrown around in the air like a tractor or something of that nature. It then crashed into the ground in the woods behind us and blew up. Talk about crazy!!! Needless to say I was one of the only goobers out and about and we were driving about 50 MPH through town to get home.

It was scary to say the least. When I walked in the door at home I had already called Mom and she had turned on the TV and had all the kids with her. They were screaming and scared to death:(

Then we got a call from one of the Moms we sit for and they have 2.5 trees on there house. They are so large they cant get into the house yet to see how much damage there is yet though.

At the end of our road South of town there is a mobile home right in the middle of the road plus extensive damage to several business and homes (so we were told by my Uncle who had his weather radio and scanner on)

So again we were very lucky indeed. I hate that mother nature has to put people through things like this. Its horrible to think of the people that have lost loved ones and or their homes and belongings.

Results are in

My exam with Dr. Wyatt was perfect!! It took two weeks to get the results but hey thats ok with me. This is wonderful news since the last time I had to be screened for Ovarian Cancer 5 times because the tests kept coming back inconclusive. So this is an answered prayer and a step in the right direction.

God is so good!!
