My Little Cheerleader










Casey started cheering at the beginning of this month. We lost the Grid-O-Rama and we lost the first official game last weekend. But we won the game today. 6 to 0. We didn't score until the last minute of the game. But the boys played their hearts out and the girls cheered their hearts out.

Now to update you on Samie. They did some lab work and found that she has a low hormone level of aldosterone, and that is what is causing her blood pressure to be low. Which is causing the heart rate to be fast. Just continue to keep her in your prayers. She is still wearing the heart monitor. Thanks for the prayers so far.

Our Beach Trip


















We went to the beach at the beginning of this month, and here are just a few pics from our trip. It was so hard to decide which ones to post. We had a good time at the beach, we went swimming, shopping, some site seeing, DJ and Matthew and the boys went to ride go-Karts, we went to the waterpark, the guys went fishing, and so much more. The day that we decided to swim in the ocean, I got brushed by a jellyfish, and let me tell you, it stung. So we went back to the house. Eric got bit by a fish, while trying to get the hook out, he didn't realize that those fish aren't like the ones at home, they have teeth. Sheryl about had heat stroke, because it was so hot the day we went to Barefoot Landing. So we took her back to the house to get hydrated and cooled off. Then closer to the end of the week, we had to take Mom to the hospital there, because she was having a pain in her right side. I thought that it may have been a kidney stone or something, since she doesn't have a gallbladder or an appendix. But the doctor's there thought that it was her heart. So she had to be observed through the night. And she was at the hospital most of the next day too. Then we left the next day. Mom is doing fine now. She ended up back in the hospital up here and sent out of town for a heart cath. Showed everything was good, and that she didn't have a heart attack and that her heart was in pretty good shape, except for a small blockage in one of the arteries, nothing to worry about though. So they told her to quit smoking and sent us home. I am so thankful that the Lord was with her during that time. Because the EKG at the cardiologist office had showed that she had a heart attack. So the power of prayer is a great thing.

Now off to a different note. And this is just so I don't have to post this separate. I am asking for prayer for Samie, my step daughter. She is having some problems, with her heart racing. They think that it may be from her blood pressure being low, but they aren't for sure. She has to wear a heart monitor for a month, to see if they can find out what is going on. She has lost a lot of sleep, because her heart pounding so fast is waking her up and making her chest hurt. I just ask that you pray that she will have a healing or that the doctors can find out why and fix it. Thanks. God Bless!!!!

Casey's new do



I got my hair cut yesterday and dyed. I got my hair cut really short so I didn't have to use even half of the bottle of dye. So we used some on Cody's hair, which you can't really tell, and we also put a small streak down the front of Casey's hair. Which is pictured here. Casey just loves it. Well, I am not sure when I will be posting next because we are leaving to go to the beach tomorrow morning and I don't know if we will have internet service or not.
Any way, I will post when we get back!!!! Hope all have a good weekend!!!!

Matthew's 9th Birthday






We celebrated Matt's birthday on Sunday. Here are some pics from that.

Family Reunion 2008














Our family reunion was last weekend and here are a few pics of everyone (mostly the kids) I got one of Reagan, Casey, and Lacy and seeing them together reminded me of how it used to be with Me, DeAnna, and Trish. Of course Reagan missed Isabella, because they are closer in age than she is with Casey and Lacy. Anyway, there were several family members missing due to reasons that could not be changed. We missed you guys. Hope that you can make it next year.
