Meeting the Mintons in Enid Yesterday

Hsd a great day yesterday, our dear friends from CA were on their way back from Arkansas. They had been visiting family for Christmas in Arkansas and Missouri. They called us and asked if we could meet up with them in Enid, Oklahoma. So off we went for the day. It was wonderful seeing them all again and Aaron was thrilled to see his two bestest buddies Stevie and Nathan. Was a really really good day..

My weekend and the ER

On Saturday I was baking breads and candies for Christmas and I put a knife almost all the way through the palm of my left hand. We have always had insurance and I never once had to go to the ER for an emergency such as this. Now that I have no insurance I do something like that. ERGH!!!!
Blood was gushing everytime my heart would beat. Mike was asleep upstairs napping because he was working at 10pm that evening. Aaron was upstairs on his computer. Once I saw how deep it was and that it would require going to ER I hollered upstairs to Aaron. Bubba wake up Daddy please I have cut myself and need to go to the hospital. It was not a wide cut only needed 5 stitches but it was DEEP. Even the top of hand is all bruised and swollen I cannot get my wedding rings on either.
It is hard to see in the pictures how bruised it really is but cannot believe how bruised it is even on the top. But they did say it almost went all the way through my hand... I do things good when I do them .. (smile)

Winter has arrived

This morning when I woke up it was like 15 degrees outside when the guys left for work and school it was 19 degrees. It is noon now and it has warmed up it is now 30.
So winter has arrived it appears. The weather man has said snow 2 or 3 times but so far no snow looking into the 10 day outlook it says possible snow for us next Tuesday, so we shall see.

Bubba goes back to the Oncologist on December 22nd so please continue to keep him in your prayers. He went last week to the eye Dr and yep he needed glasses I will put his new picture on here I think he looks handsome in his new glasses very smart looking I told him. (smile)

We are all decorated for Christmas now...so now I can start in on the baking and candy making.

I hope you have a nice day.... Hugs

Happy Thanksgiving

I pray you all had a wonderful day with your loved ones. I spent the day with my two favorite guys in the world my wonderful hubby and Bubba. Normally we spend the day with OUR FAMILY The Yearsleys but since they are in California and we are in Oklahoma that was not meant to be.

We drove into Enid and went to the movies saw 2012 was a cool movie. Then we ate at Golden Corral.

Hope your day was pleasent and you were able to spend it with the ones you love..

Hugs

Christmas Family Pictures 2009

We didn't get any family pictures done last year because we were in the midst of moving back here. We arrived here 5 days before Christmas last year. Hard to believe we have been gone a year almost already. Time is flying by. Anyway we went to have pictures done. Normally they guys put on suit and ties I said hey lets do casual. Now that I can get into a pair of jeans. (smile) So we did. The photographer asked if we could do some floor shots I said yep I can get up and down now I said 2 years ago I couldn't do that. Ha!!!! Amazing what losing 130 pounds can do for ya huh? So here are some of the shots they took..

Update on Bubba

We went back to the Oncologist in Enid they were amazed it had only been a month since his last surgery and it had grown back almost as large as it was in the beginning they had never seen anything like it before. So into surgery he went again this time they did a Lazer like treatment on it. Also a CT scan. We go back in 2 weeks. Bubba has been such a trooper through all of this we are soooooooooo proud of how he is handling all of this. THANK YOU LORD!!!!!

Please continue to keep him in your prayers..

Happy Tuesday Morning

We attended the Special Olympics meeting held at the High School last night. Aaron is going to participate in the bowling devision this month. In the spring possibly either do Basketball or Baseball. He is quite excited to do this. He really misses bowling with the Bills Special Kids Sports Group in California.

So they will practice today and Thursday after school and next Tuesday and Thursday after school. Then the event is on the 20th in Woodward, Oklahoma which is a little over an hour from where we live at. I will drive over and watch him. Dad cannot go because it is during the day and he has to work.

Next Monday the 16th, we go into Enid to the Oncologist for Aaron's next appointment since his last surgery. Please keep this matter still in your prayers. We are praying for wonderful results and that the medication is working.

I also have another prayer request. Please keep dear Evelyn Yearsley in your prayers. As you know she is like a Mom to me and Bubba calls her Grandma. As I write this she is in the hospital and has not been doing well. So please lift her up in prayer and her family as well. We love and miss them very much and wish we could be there for them when they need us. But our thoughts and prayers are ALWAYS with them.

Have a blessed day to all who read this posting.. Hugs

Happy Halloween Everyone

Hope all the little ghosts and goblins have fun tonight.

Elijah is best medicine for Bubba

Elijah is a baby who attends the church here in Alva he is 2 1/2 months old. Aaron adores him and has to hold him and talk to him each time at church. Since Aaron was not up to attending church on Sunday ( was in a bit of pain from the surgery etc ) Andrea, Elijah's mommy brought him over for Bubba to play with him yesterday for a bit. I must say seeing them together Elijah is indeed the best medicine for Bubba. He is soooooooooooooo good with babies and kids and loves them to pieces.. (smile) Aaron is indeed my GENTLE GIANT.....

Went to Arkansas and saw my Uncles

Mike and Aaron had Thursday and Friday off from school so we decided to take a little road trip (6 hours away) to see my Uncle Bill and Uncle Danny. It was great seeing them again. My Aunt Liz had a stoke last year and is still having some issues but is doing better and she looked good. Saw my cousin Tallulah and her man Stan who is such a nice guy. We had a great little visit and hope to go back soon and visit again here are a few pictures I took...My Uncle Bill has several acres, Michael and Aaron had a ball walking around and checking it all out..
