Happy Birthday to Emmilyn, Hunter and Dillon, and Grandpa Charlie!

Lot's of Birthdays in September... My aunt Charlene and I went up to celebrate Grandpa's birthday, Becky, Dina, Aunt Charlotte, and Uncle Lou were there, also Uncle Joe and Aunt Betty, along with my cute cousin Brian, who just came from over seas where he is a Blackhawk pilot in the Army, we were all there and it was really nice, we had lunch and then cake. I love you Grandpa!

Emmi, our Angel girl is a whole Decade old! She is such a sweet and Beautiful girl! We love you!

Hunter and Dillon are all grown up with Babies of their own.

Happy Birthday Katie...

My Mom "Katie" would have been 61 years old today, and next month my little sister Stephanie would have been 35. It seems like it hasn't been that long since the car accident , I always think about who they would be today, and how our relationship could be.. It helps me to try to be the kind of Daughter and Sister they would have wanted to grow up with. The best thing in the world is that I know where they are, and I know that I will be with them again someday, and then we can get to know eachother. For now they are watching over all of those they loved, and no-doubt, serving others, and making new friends. I Love, and miss you.

Ants in his pants!

Poor little guy, he hasn't had the best luck with ants, it seems that every bite he gets he has a more severe reaction, a couple of weeks ago we were out at Loren's Parents home celebrating Emmilyn's Birthday, along with her twin Uncles Hunter, and Dillon's Birthday's. Anyway, P was the retriever in a game of swimming pool basket ball, and the basketball ended up in an ant pile, and then on his belly, so he jumped in the water and must have forced some down his swimsuit, and when they couldn't escape , they attacked! It was horrible and today the swelling is almost gone, but some itchy blisters have been left. The first few days I was horrified I couldn't believe how red and swollen it could get, and I was expressing to my mom over the phone, that maybe I should take a picture for comparison sake, which my attentive little boy immediately responded,"please don't put it on your blog Mom! Well I assured him that I would never do that to him, and he thanked me.

We love Grandpa Bob!

My big strong Dad gave us all a good scare a couple of days ago, when he had a Heart Attack! He had a stint put in his 80% clogged artery yesterday and is recovering at home this evening. It really made me realize how much I still need my Dad, I have always known how much I love him, but I still need him, he has always been such a big part of my life and is more every day! Thank you to all of my friends who also know and love my Dad, thanks for all of your thoughts and Prayers, all of our family is very grateful that he is still around...

Sweet Uncle Jim...

Prayers everyone, please while we wait to see if my Amazing Uncle Jim gets his Lung Transplant, there is nobody more deserving than him... He has Pulminary Fibrosis, and he recently won his battle with Prostate cancer which was necessary to be considered for the transplant list. My Uncle is one of the sweetest most spiritual men I know, evey time I see him (which is pretty often), he lets me know how much he loves me, and he always tells me how much I remind him of my Mom Katie (i love that). Everyone who knows him, loves and respects him......I will keep you posted.
