I HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL WEEK!!!

I have had a very busy but exciting and very fun week. Last friday my husband and I took our two girls camping with my mother and step-dad. We stayed until monday in their very nice and comfortable camper. I do have to say if they did not have a camper it definitely would have been too hot to go with the girls being so young. I enjoyed some much needed girl time with my husband's cousin heather that stayed a night with us and laid out in the water with me for several hours. I love my new tan that I have been getting these past couple of weeks, I must say a good tan does a body well!!! My husband and a couple of guys went fishing at night each night that we were their and I am assuming he got some much needed alone time, or at least time away from me and the girls. Kylee love's the lake so much that she decided to ask her mimi if she could go back up their so my mom picked her up yesterday afternoon and she will be their all weekend but of course my husband and I want to join her so we will be returning to the lake friday afternoon. Today I went to my cousin's new in-ground swimming pool, I should say it is absolutely amazing!!! Kaylor and I stayed for about 2 1/2 hours and that was enough for her. I was able to do a little more laying out and get some more of a tan. Kaylor swam necked for about 20 minutes and she loved it. I even put a shirt on her afterwards that I bought from the Gap that says "I'd Rather Be Naked" and it was perfect, so I must conclude by saying I have had an absolutely positively wonderful week and I hope it only continues to get better!!!!

PLEASE PRAY FOR MY AUNT!!!

ON THE 4TH OF JULY MY FAMILY AND I WENT TO A PARTY AT A COUSIN'S HOUSE AND MUCH TO OUR SURPRISE MY VERY SWEET AND LOVING AUNT MARY WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND, AT THE TIME I DID NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT BUT LATER ON I WAS TOLD THAT SHE HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND THAT THEY ADMITTED HER. SHE HAS SEVERAL ILLNESSES THAT SHE HAS BEEN BATTLING OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND HAS JUST RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SOME CHRONIC LUNG DISORDERS AND THEY HAVE BEGUN TO TAKE A TOLL ON HER. SATURDAY EVENING MY AUNT WAS TRANSPORTED FROM A NORMAL ROOM IN THE BAPTIST HOSPITAL TO A INTENSIVE CARE UNIT. FOR A DAY SHE WAS ON 100% OXYGEN AND WAS BATTLING TO BREATHE. RIGHT NOW SHE IS STILL IN INTENSIVE CARE AND IS ON 50% OXYGEN. TOMORROW AT 11:00a.m. THE DOCTORS ARE GOING TO GO IN AND LOOK AT HER LUNGS AND GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT IS GOING ON. SHE DESPERATELY NEEDS LOVE AND SUPPORT AND AT A TIME LIKE THIS SHE NEEDS PRAYER. MY AUNT MARY IS VERY SWEET AND KIND TO ALL THAT HAVE COME TO KNOW HER AND SHE HAS HAD A REALLY ROUGH 2 YEARS OR LONGER. SO PLEASE LET US ALL KEEP HER IN OUR PRAYERS AND HOPE FOR HER THE DOCTOR'S TO FIND WHAT IS GOING ON AND BE ABLE TO FIX IT.

GETTING READY FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!

LAST YEAR ON THE 4TH OF JULY KYLEE WAS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD AND IT WAS HER FIRST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE 4TH OF JULY. WE TOOK HER TO A FIREWORK STAND AND BOUGHT LOTS OF PRETTY FIREWORKS FOR HER TO WATCH AND OOH AT. LITTLE DID WE KNOW OUR CHILD DID NOT LIKE THE LITTLE FIREWORKS WE HAD BOUGHT HER LIKE THE SNAKES, SNAPPERS, AND SPARKLERS, INSTEAD SHE LIKED THE BIG "BOOM BOOMS" AS SHE CALLED THEM. SHE WANTED TO WATCH THE LOUD, VERY BEAUTIFUL, AND VERY BIG FIREWORKS THAT YOU SEE AT THE ARKANSAS RIVER. KYLEE ALREADY THIS YEAR HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT GETTING TO SEE THE BOOM BOOMS AND HOW HER DADDY AND PAWPAW ARE GOING TO BUY LOTS OF BIG ONES AND HAVE A SHOW FOR HER. I DO BELIEVE WITH THE WAY SHE HAS BOTH OF THEM WRAPPED AROUND HER FINGER, SHE CAN GET THEM TO SPENDS LOTS OF MONEY ON THE FIREWORKS AND HAVE A SHOW. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY 4TH OF JULY TAN OR SHALL I SAY TRYING TO GET A TAN BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY AND HOPEFULLY I WILL BE DARK ENOUGH NOT TO GLOW BY THE WATER OF MY COUSIN'S NEW INGROUND POOL AT HER HOUSE THAT WE WILL BE AT FOR OUR 4TH OF JULY PARTY!!! DON'T WORRY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, I WILL HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES TO SHOW YOU OF THE FUN AND I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY AND THAT IT BE TRULY BLESSED!!!
