Guess What Sucks?


Don't you think? Our cute Aunt Liz started her chemo. FINALLY none of us were sick, so we went to see her yesterday. I never saw anyone look so cute with a shaved head! She reminds me so much of my mom, even more so now, when my mom had breast cancer she just kept smiling and said, "I'm gonna be just fine!" Now Liz says that. I was rubbing her back and her head, and even her little shaved hairs were falling out in my hands. I just wanted to burst into tears!
Liz's daughter Heather has a cute 1 1/2 year old girl and a brand new 2 week old baby. Oh, and a brain tumor. SUCK. And the new baby has been in the hospital with blood problems. And this isn't Heather's first bout with a brain tumor either!
Everything on my mind is worry, worry worry. I love them all so much and I just want everything to be ok. I am thankful for my health and my healthy kids. Oh, so very thankful.
So that's what's going on in our neck of the woods. We're circling our wagons and staying together and positive.
Please keep Liz, Heather, and baby Hazel in your thoughts. Heather will have her surgery on Feb. 19th.
We need every good vibe we can get!

5 Years Ago Today....










this precious boy was born and I became a Mamma. I remember being so scared to have a boy, but Cannon brought a sense of peace with him.
Cannon is smart, FUNNY, inquisitive, kind, thoughtful, energetic and loving.
We love you Cannon Boy! Happy happy birthday to you!

Life Savers




Thanks to all of these, Harper and I feel like humans again! Hooray!
No more booger town!
I was so excited that our Dr. recommended the Mucinex mini melts. We had been giving her a sudafed nasal decongestant with ZERO results. These little puppies worked the first time, and she likes the flavor too. OOOOOHHHH thank goodness! She can breathe again! That means she can eat and sleep too! One good thing out of all this, she's off the binky! I guess whether she liked it or not!





And YES, I believe in medicine. My sister Stacy always says, "better living through science"! Amen!

Mi Familia...


Here's how we survived Christmas with out my dad: We acted like a bunch of idiots! Just what he would've wanted! We took some pics of us all together, because who knows when this will happen again~! Our tradition is to always do a "funny" pose. This was how it turned out this year. Notice, my husband's DISGUST. Whatever, Greg! You are soooo stuck with us!!

This is us. This is where I came from! Maybe this explains a little. Or a lot! Hope you all had a merry Christmas!
