A relaxing day w friends.

I think with all the stress that's been going on..we were due for a relaxing day. Yesterday was that day. We had a Bar B Q at some friends house with other friends,it was great! Sitting around talking and enjoying each others company. Of course we had to have activities for the kids...they played horse shoes..playing on the trampoline..and then someone decided it was hot enough and we (kids and adults) had a water balloon fight. Thankgoodness it was hot out coz it sure felt good...than of course u have one person that'll get the hose and douse everyone. LOL. We settled down afterwards with the new movie "Twilight",which was an awesome movie..and the kids watched a movie and played in the next rm. When we got home the kids didn't pitch to much of a fit in going to bed early (coz we r now back on school schedule time),they were worn out with playing with their friends. Well, Im glad for one day where we didn't have to worry and wonder what was coming next..it's great to having great friends!

New news for Dynver

Well, we finally got the date of when Dynver our 4yr old will be headed to the Shriners Hospital there in Lexington, KY. We leave the 14th of April..she will be undergoing tests thro out the day.Full body work-up.They are wanting to see if the mass that was found in her brain the last MRI, if it's cancerous or if it's just a result of the stroke. We are all hoping that it's not cancerous,major prayer going up here! She is possibly going to have the surgery where they will cut a tendon in her leg to give her leg flexibility..then she will be fitted for her leg brace,which she'll have to leave on til they say otherwise.She will also be fitted for her arm brace,they are hoping that it'll strengthen the hand to gain muscle..to where she will be able to use her hand more efficiently.

Yea, this all scares me,not sure what the outcome will be. We always said that she is our "angel baby". She has overcome so much. They never thot she'd be able to put her clothes on by herself or ride a bike with peddles.Which she does both quite well. (with just the one hand and leg..I can't wait to see her use both!)So I know that she will overcome this and come on top as she does so many of her other achievements. Keep Dynver in ur prayers during this day. Thank u

Update on Dyn

I have exciting news esp. when it seems everything else that could go wrong is going wrong. We have been waiting to figure out how we are going to pay for Dyn's new braces for her left leg and her arm. Our neighbor has a friend that's in the Shriners organization...and he told him about Dyn..we did an interview today the guy was very interested in her case. We have some appointments to verify what's going to happen..but it looks like my lil girl will be getting her braces to correct her leg and foot. Plus the gentleman said they are hoping not to have to break her leg that they'll just go in and cut a tendon and then put the brace on. It won't correct it completely but at least she won't be made fun of when she's older. I always worry about that coz kids can be so mean in school. I'm thankful that she'll be able to lead,hopefully a normal life by gaining the functions that have been hurt because of the stroke. So we are very happy..I'll keep ya'll updated in when...I do know where, it's going to be in Lexington,KY...but as far as anything else. I'll keep ya updated.

Things my kids say...

Sunday the kids and I went to church like good lil ppl. I wanted to bury my head! We knelt to pray and I felt someone watching me so I opened my eyes ,there was Dyn staring at my eyes...in a voice I wasn't sure whether it was quiet...she said "mommy what r we supposed to be thinking about?"as the service went on my youngest son,Gav started asking when church was going to be over,I guess after awhile he mustv got tired of me saying "soon, now plz be quiet" coz he finally said "mommy he's taking a long long time!",the preacher mustv started talking louder,for when I looked over at Cam he had both his ears plugged..I leaned over and whispered "why are you doing that" he said "that man is talking too loud and he's hurting my ears!".

Now this isn't the only time my kids have decided they didn't like what's going on in church. and voiced it.We one time went to a church where they didn't have SS and they were in a middle of a song..Cam,who you'll soon figure out,is very opinionated and he voices it, he yells "mommy tell them to sing a different song I don't like this one"and then while the preacher was preaching...he says"I don't like it up here I want to go to Jr Church..he's too loud"! I tell ya...why is that kids can say the darnest things when they are in church?
