Family pictures

We Finally did it we had pictures made.
My boys are so grown up and handsome even
if I do say so myself....

Life is good. I cant really complain to
much with what's been going on in our world.
School is out and now were in summer school.

I need a vacation and I just had one...so maybe
things are a bit more rough than I care to talk about.

Work is crazy good.... I have been very busy love
the move I think its a perfect fit.

Florida time with freinds.

The first picture is the view from our room.... It must have been
rough huh?

The second is on the beach and we are living it up... Lovin that sun.

Third is Terry telling me the rules of the weekend at Spfd's airport.
Notice how much I am paying attention.

It did my body good to get away and just relax... Yes I missed my babies
but, it was good very good.

Happy Easter Everyone

I just thought I would share a picture of all my baby's.

Boys update

Well, we made it through the day.
Trevin's spot did not bother the Dr.
Sayer's however did and he had to have
his biopsied.
We will know more in a couple of weeks.
So for now that's all I know.
I took the boys to a different Dr this
time and I really liked him and boy was
he checking them out..in their hair and
in between their toes....Did my Dr do
that nope.....
So I feel like I made a good choice to
take them else were.

Catch up bloggin

I'm not so sure what to say these days. I have said so little because
I really feel like I ramble on with things that are just in my
head and they really don't make alot of sense.
Tomorrow is the day that I take the boys to the doctor.
I have really tried not to think about it to much.....
Not working at all by the way.
Positive thinking right.
Its totally different since its them and not me...I would do
it over and over again to not have them go through any
of this. I just keep telling them I'm old and look how good
I did.....I went back to work in three days....
Trevin always the witty one says.....MOOOOM you have a shark bite.
Who taught them how to be so sassy...

So tomorrow they will take biopsy's of both boys skin
spot's.
It's a horible feeling, out of my motherly control. I never
ever want these babies to hurt. Do we ever?
I wish so much that I was just going to work in the morning
and not doing this.
It's going to be fine....right?
I have to wonder alot these days what is it that we are
suppose to learn from all of these trials....just not so sure.
I guess we may never know what the lesson's are.

On a happy note I made Easter stuff today....I so love
this holiday...its one of my favorite's .....I know I always
say that.

We were going to go camping this weekend and have
a Easter egg hunt at the lake....
We have since watched the weather forecast and that's
not going to happen..
There's no reason I can come up with that makes me
want to freeze to death...and with the baby no way.
Another day....

I have great friends by the way I really do...
Going to Florida in a few weeks cant wait....
SOOOOOO ready to hang out on the beach the
swimsuit not so ready..
Maybe even twice....no way I am pinching myself...

OH yes we are down to two puppies.....Chocolate and yellow
ANYONE!!!!!!!!!

I will update as soon as we know anything. That's a promise.



Spring Creek is calling our name's we can make it a mother
daughter and whoever else want's to come.
Steph come on sister we have to at least meet in person
befor we take off and fly together..... Florida will never
ever be the same....Like we may even have to get t-shirts.

ya hoo its monday, what what!

Ya its Monday ....what what did I say that? Yes, I did I am totally
exhausted from running kiddos everywhere. I remember the days
when I just had to worry about taking care of myself....now I'm
lucky if I can shave both legs.... No kidding!

Things are good around here just crazy busy. Soccer in Kansas City.
By the way I am in love with overland Park....You have to be kidding
so much shopping in one place.
The house's are beautifully landscaped in March looks like its CA.

Addy is getting so big I have been trying my best to get some good
pictures but the little booger will not sit still long enough to get good
ones ...action shots are always what I end up with and not good ones.

Lets see my leg is healing up nicely its been 4 weeks now.. Every test
has come back clean...
The boys go April the 8Th....Its going to be fine.. i just know it is..

I'm in a bad winter funk however... I need sunshine. I cant seem to
pull myself into a happy place... I know I'm not alone either. Its just
the time of year.

I also just remembered I need to call a few girls and get a girly weekend
on the calender......Sorry I kinda forgot to call you back....Wow like that wouldn't
take care of my funk...
I also need to play in dirt and plant some pretty flowers.
Hubby has been fishing ALOT lately hes in a happy place now its my
turn!

update

As some of you already know my margins came back clean....Praise the Lord.
I still have a few test that I have to have. I have no doubt that in the end they will all be clear as well. Chest x-rays blood work all done, still have mammogram
eye check and then they will have a base line for the future to compare to
as I will always have to take these measures.
Its been such a messy couple of weeks I have not been happy with the
care that I have received here. Shame on those people at the Dr's office
and Dr's themselves that get so wrapped up with what ever is feeling up their
head space that they don't take the time to meet every patients needs.
I applaud the very special nurse's and Dr's that keep focused. Every single
person that walks through their door needs undivided attention. Or they need
to just go home... OK so I'm done with bashing for now.


The boys are now facing the same thing we have already been to the
primary Dr. Now, the first of April they go to the Dermatologist.
They have similar skin spots. I think its crazy that it has hit out family
like this I'm just so thankful that I went through it first. Now, they both
have a very clear picture what could be in store for them if we don't
do this. bless their hearts you know those boys are scared to death.

My leg looked horrible.....however I'm old and I was back to work in four
days. So if they should have to have this done like me they will bounce
back even faster.

The craziest thing of all came in the mail today.....Missouri's cancer survivor
support group letter. No way right? I haven't the words for those that have
and our suffering. People that was the scariest thing. Pray with me for
Sayer and Trevin to be strong. They will biopsy them and its going
to be clean from the git go.

Work is fabulous.....LOVELOVELOVE it!!!!
Family pictures are next on the agenda don't even ask when Adalyn's last
individual pictures were (horrible mom).

Have a wonderful weekend I'm off to St Louis for a hair show..... I may
come back inspired and stuff.

Update on my new sexy leg NOT!

I am one step closer to the results. That was not
fun at all. But, its over. Now we just wait to find
out if I have clean margins or not. Should know
more in 5 working days. They had to take alot more
than I thought they were going to.
I sure thought I asked all the right question's.
I am just one of those people that like to have
it straight up... not sugar coated.

I cant work until next week. Possibly not even able
to walk in the morning, at least the nurse broke the news
straight, very sore and swollen.
Probably about a seven inch incision and a little
over 100 stitches. I wonder why the Dr didn't tell
me what was really going to happen that's what
bugs me the very most.
I felt very scared I have to tell you that. I cant
even sit still and I want to get up and move around.
So much for working 10 hours tomorrow and 8sh on Sat.
Sorry, guys I feel horrible about pushing you back again.

Now, for good news the Taylor family is extend today!!!
Puppies and bunch of them Gracie our lab decided that
today was the day and now we have 4 yellow and two
chocolate and three black lab babies.
They are a great distraction that's for sure. It was nice
being able to worry about something other than myself today.
So if ANY body would like a puppy.....did I mention
FREE !!!!! come on down.

Super Dooper Big Trouble

Yes.....I am going to be in super, dooper big trouble.
Because, I am not a good blogger at all and well I kinda
forget that I don't see all my friends at work.

Well anyway....Soooo Sorry that I am having to do this...
Story goes like this.
Jan I go to my regular Dr. My hubby gives me a full
body scan on a regular " basis" all the time....(well not
all the time) he has had skin cancer before and so hes
kinda phobic about it.... Plus, I made that sound
a tad bit sexual NOT SO MUCH THAT KIND of scan.
More like me running as fast as I can from the shower
into the closet to cover up the BODY>>>>now your
getting it. Way to many kido's in this house.
I am one who likes to tan a little, because for one I
have always heard dark takes in and light brings
out....I'm not sure that works but anyway.
So I go to the Dr and show her at the end of the apt that
I have a spot on my leg that my hubby has spotted
in the "SCAN" and what does she think.
She says yep that needs to go. We will refer you
on to a Dermatologist and get that off.
So off to the Dr I go and now understand, I am
never once worried about this because why should I
be right?
I made it to the Dermatologist and he GIVES ME THE
option I might add to "cosmetically does it bother you"
speech well no it does not ...
Hubby is in the corner freaking out and looks at me
HELLO YES we want it gone, your hear and just do it.
Three seconds later its gone...
He says "we always send these off to be tested and we
will call you and give you the results."
Cool!!! Didn't even hurt.

Well, when they called and gave me the results...
Not so cool. Stage three melanoma. So I have already
went to see the plastic surgeon and I have surgery
tomorrow and pray people ......Its going to be clean
margins and no therapy will be needed.

I do want to add one more thing I have made
light of this I know.... But, I feel God, hes right here
and everything happens for a reason. So many
things have happened in my life, and this will not
do anything but make my faith that much stronger.

I do promise I will post as soon as I can after its all
done.
I should be in and out. I did actually take the day
off. However, I work Friday and Saturday to make
up for my time out.

You know what this means though right...
MORE BODY SCANS.......hehehehe

Have you Waltz today?

I am so excited about the new salon its so much more ....everything
than I thought it would be. Its beautiful for starters. The group
fits well together that's always a biggy. You feel like you are
stepping into a new world in there.
Cant wait for everyone to see it.

The boys are doing really good. Just getting big and I mean BIG.
Sayer came to the shop on Thursday night and the receptionist
thought he was my bother..... Needless to say she was super
cute and his head wouldn't fit back through the front door.
I look at them all the time and I cant believe they are mine.
They are perfect....(not always acting perfect) but I wouldn't
change ANYTHING about them. I love the young men they are
growing up to be. They feel my heart with warm and fuzzes so
much of the time.

Addy is walking everywhere! She is so much fun. I feel like so
much of the time she is my chance for a do over. Not to make the
mistakes I did with the boys. (Except for the bed time thing)
ya she kinda has me pinned up against a very large wall.

My parents are both retired now and they watch Addy for me
three days a week. So a little back ground my father knows
nothing but working his slightly bent fingers from arthritis to the
bone. For all my life that's what I think of when I picture my
dad....Somewhere on the farm, out working any young tot who
thinks that he can keep up. He usually is up at the crack of dawn
out cutting ice, feeding cows, cutting wood you name it and if he
can he will have it done before 5:30 because then he leaves for work.
You get it anyway, I go to pick up Addy and first of all she's in pig
tales (CUTE) and then I see what her and dad are doing they,
are waltzing. I cried you cant even image how cute that was to see.
She has for the record her Bumppo tightly wrapped around her pinkie.
They are going on a month long vacation in June anyone with a idea
for keeping Addy a couple days a week for a month please let me
know. I am running out of ideas.

Have a great Weekend and enjoy our weather. Spring is on the
way and VALENTINES DAY is geting closer......

Chance's Are!

Have you ever been somewhere and you run into someone that
you haven't seen in forever and later your thinking about the
in counter, and you wonder what are the chances that we would
be at the same place, same time.
I do that all the time. What's even more weird is what usually
happens to me is I think about someone, and bam I run into them.
I did just that all weekend.

So anyway that got me to thinking. All the friends that I have every
where...that I early miss. I wish I could have one huge party and
have everyone I know come.....Do you see where I'm going with this.

Yep!!!!!!

I want everyone in heaven with me....my family of course but all
the special people that I dearly love. You know how much fun that's
going to be.
So what really got me to praying last night was about the ones that
I may or may now get to be with.
So, I guess I just pray harder.. The example we live sometimes just
might not be enough...
I have also found that praying for someone doesn't allow you to stay
angry....
So anyway today chance's are your being prayed for! Even if I just
know your through chance.

New Salon

I am moving to a new salon. I am so excited.
Three of us were invited to go to a new salon.
Its right next door to Touch restaurant on
republic rd. My first day there is Feb 6Th.
Its called W3. It's beautiful and the best
part about it I still get to work with my brother.
You will have the same appointment as sch the
new salon will call and confirm as usual.
Can't wait until everybody comes in.
See you soon!!!!!

Happy days

I have had very little time to get on the computer lately.
We had a birthday girl! It was very sweet, fun and sad
all at the same time. I cant believe my baby is already one.
We had a blast getting ready for the big day.
The theme was lady bugs....they are very meaningful
in this family.
Tim's grandma, that I never had the pleasure to meet
was crazy about them and they loved her to.
Every time there is a special event they always come.
On Missy's wedding day we were outside and one flew
and landed on her gown......Yes!!!!! we cried. Kinda like
an earthly reminder that she is always with us.
We had all intentions on buying her a cake at the bakery
however, we did it ourselves.. See for yourself how cute
it was.... you must understand big daddy did all the
decorating. ( I know wow and he wanted to)
She loved everybody just staring at her while she was
half naked.... I should have taken pictures of all the people
in my kitchen with camera's. She was defiantly on display
and did not let us down with a show.

One of my favorite holidays is coming up I LOVE VALENTINES
DAY!!!!!!
I truly think its because I am a girl. I still want all the
flowers, and of course chocolate's. Do we ever grow out
of that.....still a teenager and want to make sure you have
a boyfriend for Valentines Day good thing I do have a
sweetie.
We go big around here.... We bring out the fine china for
our dinner and this year the boys all of them are going
shopping for the (table scape) how fun..... they will not be
slackers ..... they will empress a sweetie of their own
one of these days. If you could have only heard our
conversation, me telling the boys they have to go with
big daddy to get the (table scape) this year. I let them
know that I have done it all these years and now they
know what we have to have. Then, how wonderful it will
be for them to learn how to spoil someone special
someday...
Lot's of "you watch to much food network and Paula Deen
something " I love it... They would turn four shades of blue
if I didn't do this. I know because I have tried.
Love is a verb ... so I like to spoil all my sweeties too.

Where do I start

So much has went on the last couple of weeks I am not sure where
to start.
Lots of sickness that's for sure. Trevin and I both had the stomach
flu the week of Christmas. He lost 10 pounds and didn't have that
to loose. I on the other hand when I got through with the scales
was willing to throw them down the hill into the river.

My sister by free will past away just in time to spend Christmas
with her husband and Jesus in Heaven (you know they celebrate
like we have never celebrated.
I miss you Gail so much ....but your body is healed and you are
walking the streets of Gold hand in hand with your Father.

Sayer has been sick with the stomach ick for a few days now.
Tim has missed three and tomorrow will be four days of work.
He has had the flu or pneumonia they are treating him for the
pneumonia. He has had a fever since Sunday.
That leads into the fun packed weekend that Trevin and I
had in Branson for his birthday.... That's right we celebrated
his birthday on the 1st big boy is now 11.
We had a blast we left Saturday morning with money in hand.
We were shopping and going to eat at all these super fun places.
I was so pumped. We went to see a movie (Marley and Me) super
cute... we came home and gave Gracie the lab a bath and lots of
treats. We missed her very bad that night at the hotel.
We had popcorn and chocolate milk and coffee.. he wanted momma
to stay awake and watch TV with him all night long...NOT GONNA
happen I have missed way to many hours of sleep this last year
for that to happen.
We got up bright and early ready to hit the town again for the
second day. When I checked in with dad.......Yep that's when our
weekend was over daddy was sick and so was baby girl.
We couldn't get home fast enough.
New Year's was over before we even knew it. I fixed so much food
we were all bloated and sleepy. However we made it to midnight
just to be able to tell Trevin happy birthday.

Now we are focused on another birthday miss Addy turns 1 on the
21st.
This year has went very fast I cant even believe my children are
getting so big....
They make my life so perfect.
I have work news that I will update every one on this Friday..
Just wait till you here this stuff.
