smilin' through some tears

Lyla is a beautiful girl with an infectious laugh~ she is EXCITED about all things including flies, spiders, turtles and frogs. Watching her for these past few days has truly been a blessing and I love every single second of her visit. I keep asking her if she is happy and she says very loudly "I AM HAPPY" then Logan argues (as cousin's do) "No, I AM HAPPY!!" the argument begins.

I also have been overcome with emotion~this is hard~to see this beautiful girl and just wish my sister could see her too~I find myself laughing and crying at the same time. SHE IS AMAZING~I have so enjoyed picking out outfits and matching things for her to wear, doing HAIR~ I just love doing a girls hair!!!

Thank you

Sharing the ducky tub! Lyla and Violet are too funny!




Thank  you Aunt Kayla for the cutest hats in the whole world!  We love you.

Out of Nana's photo album

I had to post some of these pictures of my cousins!! Dad sent me a bunch of pictures from some of Nana's photo albums- Tara I wonder if you have alot of the same pictures I have. I don't have a scanner (as I am super low tech) so I just took pictures of these pictures I hope you see them ok :)

I like this picture of me and Papa

Bridget at my very first birthday I think we ALL had matching outfits I donno where Molly is though

Splatter paint shirts and doughnuts!!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE BECAUSE AUNT GAYLE WAS ALWAYS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REUNIONS!!

Too GOOD

I MADE THESE PUMPKIN SPICE BALLS YESTERDAY THANKS TO MY COUSIN BRIDGET. I NEEDED SOMETHING TO BRING FOR A CHURCH FUNCTION SO I THOUGHT I WOULD TEST THESE OUT. CAN I JUST SAY THEY ARE DELICIOUS AND DANGEROUS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRY MAKING THESE THE RECIPE IS ON MY COUSIN'S BLOG BAKE AT 350- .

I WILL MAKE THEM AGAIN FOR THE FUNCTION BUT I MIGHT TRY USING A WHITE CHOCOLATE :) AND I WILL MAKE THEM AGAIN FOR HOLIDAY DINNERS! THEY ARE SO GOOD BUT I NEED TO WORK OUT EXTRA HARD BECAUSE I FEEL THE POUNDS COMING ON TEEHEE!

32 DAY

We were so lucky to get an early appointment in OKC today! We were even more lucky to have some company while at our appointment. Neena, Aunt Brie and lil Lyla bear came to watch Logan so I go talk with the Doctor. Apparently there will be many more tests in our future and many more doctor's appointments but we are one step closer to getting Daddy back on his feet. We are going back up to OKC next Tuesday to see another Neurologist. This appointment was actually a total blessing because the next appointment would have been at the end of October. THANK GOD we got this appointment next Tuesday!!! Thank you Mom and Brie for meeting us there and lunch was so much fun. Logan loves to make Lyla laugh. He is such a ham and she just thinks he is hilarious :)
