Thankful Thursday

(instead of Gratitude Sunday)

I'm Thankful for my family, especially this little girl who once could lay in her daddy's baseball cap (even while swaddled), who is now a giggly, excited, talkative, and funny 20 month old and I get to spend nearly every day with her.


Modern medicine, who made it possible for a little girl with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome to stay alive and also to get ear tubes today so that ear infections can stop jepordizing her health and life.

Modern medicine (again) and Medical professionals with a passion to help, who will on Monday remove a defective disconnected Port-A-Cath from the right side of my chest and put a new one in on the left side, all while keeping me from losing to much blood because of the blood thinners I have to take, but also keeping me from getting a dangerous blood clot. (does any of that make sense?).

The weather we have been experiencing...it has been beautiful.

Vacation time, so that my husband can take off the days needed to help me get through the upcoming procedure and still making it possible for us to pay our bills.

A loving, caring Heavenly Father who I know I can turn to and count on whenever I need him.

Total Fashion Sense

Kylee has got it going on. Yet another one of her clothing creations. And of course the oven door is the best "mirror" to admire yourself in.

For those who want to copy this new and upcoming fashion trend, you'll need some tights, any color will do. A diaper cover from a cute dress. Hello Kitty socks, Nike shoes and dont forget to leave them untied.
Closer inspection
Here's a little peak of what she looked like before her transformation.
She loves twirling in her dress...a real girly girl.

I hope you enjoyed this episode of up and coming fashion trends. You heard it here first.

Halloween Part II

Ok, So I had to do two post to get all my pictures in of Halloween. Here's a reminder of the cute little skunk.

We also had a candy lovin' zebra...she's pretty cute also.

And a "nice pirate." He could not give me a mean looking face because he was a "nice pirate."

And last but not least...The robot. He had real flashing lights (you cant see them in the picture.)

Here's the whole group before heading out to trick or treat at some houses

Halloween Part I

So I am finally getting around to posting our Halloween fun. The Saturday before Halloween we went to a carnival and had a lot of fun. On Halloween day we went to my aunts work and trick or treated with all the elderly. Then in the evening had some cousins over and went around the block. Kylee had a lot of fun and really got the hang of saying "treat or treat" instead of trick or treat and holding out her bag.

Cutest Lil Skunk I've ever seen

Ever seen a skunk riding a horse? I have now

Whenever we visit my aunt we always see this man sitting in the front entrance and ever since Ky was a baby we have always said Hi to him. She has really grown to like him. His name is Theo. Ky calls him "Tho." He really gets a kick out of her and it seems to make his day when he sees her. Of course she got a few extra pieces of candy from him.
