Here I am yet AGAIN

Ok, so I rly should update more often right? Nvr think about this place. Ofcourse right now I can't think of nething of interest bc I am finally writin, go figure. >.>

All I can say is we are all good, family's healthy, life is WONDERFUL! Enjoyin the ride! Thank you LORD for all YOU have given us!!!!

woohoo, nite time

The kids r driving me CRAZY 2day!! So glad it's the end of the day now. Both the 4 yr old and 13 yr old think they know how things should be done amongst themselves...all they needed was for me to step in and lay claim to this house and everything that goes on in it. Ugh...well, it's done. Another one down. I am really dreading August. Austin will start Kindergarden...seems all too unreal. I'm going to miss him terribly!! We have been connected at the hip since he was born and now that seperation will have to come. Oh Lord...I hope I can do it.

been a long time

You know I said in my last post I would post more often...yea exactly what I wanted to do when I was so worried about my baby w/cancer and thinking I could lose him at any minute. But I didn't know how rough it was gonna be til he started getting chemo.....even then the hope that he'd get a liver transplant was startingto look pretty slim......til March 3rd. The BEST day of my life!!!!!!! Anyhow to sum it all up my baby is wonderful, well both of them are..just look!

October 08

Life is very challenging right now. I will spare so many many details, but to sum it up I am almost 6 months pregnant w/a little boy....speaking of we've decided to name him Dallas. Figured it was appropriate, we already have a 4 yr old Austin lol...well neways, Austin is diagnosed w/cancer (hepatoblastoma to be exact), tyrosenemia type 1, and liver cihrossis. He is undergoing chemo now, his first treatment was this week, so we will be going home from hospital tomorrow. Then around January or a little after a liver transplant. So our life is a circus right now. But once we get home life will settle down a little. We'll still be busy w/drives,labwork, and many many visits for his chemo, but being home makes a huge difference.

Ashlyn is getting tutoring which she needs real bad, is 12 now...she is growing up so fast. A rebel she is. She's a tough one to get along with...even though she is my stepdaughter it's hard. We've heard through the grapeving that her biological mother has died from Hepatitis, we haven't heard from her in one year, so its real possible. I have asked Ashlyn how she feels about it and basically she's sad b/c she was her mother but honestly she doesn't care b/c she never had a relationship w/her, which we figured thats how she felt.

Travis and I are holding up as well as expected. We are leaving everything in God's hands as well as the Dr.'s, they are so wonderful and everyone is taking very good care of us. We've even had some ladies come and clean our house for us. The love is so overwhelming it's amazing.

Tomorrow or sometime later this week I will be blogging so much better than now, and when I say better I will be in much better spirits. Thanx to all who've said prayers, please continue praying for Austin and us as well b/c transplant will be around same time as baby comes.

Hello

Well...we now have an aquarium FULL of fish. They are just the most peaceful creatures I have ever seen...as a matter of fact Travis was watchin them the other night when he was layin in bed and fell asleep LOL!

Ok ok...I have some AMAZING news! The good ole husband and I are trying for baby #2!!! I'm soooo happy! I can't wait til I get pregnant!!! We are both finally at that point to where we are ready!

Austin and Ashlyn have been at VBS this week so that's giving me a few hours to myself each morning, it's been wonderful~! It's kinda setting me up for his preschool...b/c right now he's gone for 3 hours...once he starts preschool it'll only be for 4 hours....so I think I can do it! Just droppin him off at the Church Mon morning was hard on me...to let him in the hands of others and not know what he's doing at every second of the day...does that sound like an obsessive mother? Hmmm lol...well you know how I feel...been through so much w/him, I feel like he's my other half in a way. So it was hard but about 30 min after I got home and heard how quiet it was I just melted in the chair lol............but anyhow, he's my pride and joy and will always be!!

That's about it...hope I haven't bored ya!

Lot has changed

Life is sooo much better since January lol...I didn't even realize how long it had been since I had posted here. So much has happened but I'll sum it up. I am now a fitness trainer at Curves (it was always a big dream of mine to be a fitness trainer and here I am), finances are SOOOO much better. We are on track now w/extra money in the bank..HUGE plus! So now we can enjoy life a little more...ok a LOT more! We are into church now, even Travis likes it...a huge thing for him! I don't know what else to say. Those few things have made such a huge difference....

oh yes and this past weekend we got a couple of goldfish!!! I'll post some pics in a minute, I need to get them uploaded really quick!
