9/11 11 years after the planes hit.....

Yesterday was an emotional day for our country. 11 years ago so many of our Men, Women, and children died in an evil attack against our homeland. I will never ever forget where and what I was doing at that moment in history.

However today as I watch old footage of the crash...listen to songs dedicated to those we lost, I am forever grateful for the country we live in. I decided I was going to show my gratitude by loading up my girls, going to the grocery store, taking them to the park and having an awesome little picnic in the park with just the three of us.

I am thankful I can do all these things. I am thankful I have an amazing Husband who loves me and considers me his equal. I am thankful we can worship our God...the one whomever we choose...however we choose to. I am thankful that my girls are growing up to be strong independent women, and will be able to choose their own path in life. Such as whom they will marry, what they will be, and where they will live.

I know so many of us take so many of our daily actions for granted. Today...Today I am VERY GRATEFUL, as I am everyday for the Men and Women whom not only gave their lives that day, but whom continue to do so everyday.

THANK YOU, and MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

Belly Button Be Gone!!!

Goose had her hernia surgery done last week. I was a complete wreck. I know it isn't invasive, however it's still your baby going under anesthesia. We had to be at Children's at 1:30 for check in. Goose had no idea what was going on. She was just as happy s can be. It was just Goose, myself and Daddy, Nana picked Bird up from school and was keeping we busy until we were home. When they called us back she got all her vitals checked and was a champ. We changed her into a gown and she got to play while I spoke with the nurse, anesthesiologist, and the surgeon. When the nurse told me that they would most likely intubate her, tears just rolled down my face. In my line of work...intubation is never good, it's a way to sustain life. I know that in this case it's just a way to know for sure they don't stop breathing during the procedure. The Surgeon came by to see us before and let us know what would be happening. We work...

Baby Bird turns 16

I'm still not sure how our first baby girls is 16! I remember not only her birth story, but I remember loving being pregnant with her so much. Except the heart burn, I could have done without that! Beautiful Bird you have become such an awesome young lady. One that I am blessed to be your Mama. Your love of life truly shines through in any and all settings. People are drawn to you for your huge heart and understanding ways. You make friends easily, and teachers and coaches adore you for the hard worker you are, but mostly because you are a true team mate. I love how close we are, and how close you are to your sisters. The moments when we just get to hang out and talk life or not even talk at all and just enjoy each others company are some of my most favorite times. I love when you get excited about things or when something really makes you laugh, I wish I could bottle that joy up and keep it forever. We are ...
