What are you thankful for?




I am thankful that Jesus died for me on the cross and I am thankful I have such a loving husband you loves me even with all my faults. I am thankful God saw fit to entrust a special needs child for me to love and care for. I am thankful for my church family and I am thankful for the Yearsley Family who have adopted us these past few years and have made us a part of their very loving family. I am VERY thankful that they got all of Aaron's cancer. I pray you all have a Blessed Thanksgiving and that you are able to spend it with loved ones and the people who love and care for you and yours.

Hugs N Prayers Judy

In Memory of William C. Gable

I just returned from the funeral of Bro. Gable. I had not seen him in quite a few years but looking at him today I would have known him anywhere. His wife Marion is doing pretty well she did remember me but of course as Judy Waddill (not Lockwood). Roberta, Ruth and I always checked out all the boys at the Youth Rallys and Associations. (smile) I remember all his children singing together for years they were called the 4R's. Rex,Regina,Roberta and Ruth. I can remember knowing Bro. Gable for as long as I have known anyone. He had known me since I was just a toddler. So he actually knew me I guess longer than I knew him. It was nice seeing all the family again even under such sad circumstance. Seems like lately the only time I see many of my old time friends is when someone gets promoted into Heaven. I told that to Jed Winkleman today and he said yes and I bet we see a lot more of each other now. (I think that means we are getting old). I also saw Joyce Leota have known her basically all my life too. So today was a sad time and a good time all rolled up in one. Bro. John Swofford preached the service and did a wonderful job. See you again someday Bro. Gable.

Family Christmas Picture for "2007"

A tradition we started when Amanda was born was every November we would have a Family picture taken for Christmas. So all through the years when the girls were still at home we have done this..
I do not like to have my picture taken but I love having the family picture so if I want it I have to do it. Michael is not a Holiday kind of guy as you can see in some of the pictures. (smile) But at least he was willing to go. Aaron always smiles don't have to worry about him.











These are some of the pictures of our Family during Christmas time.

Been a busy week...

Well I took Aaron on Monday to the Dr he said Tuesday he had to have surgery. Wednesday he had to go back to have it checked. Thursday morning I had to be at the hospital for more tests....Chest X ray....sonargram....and EKG...
Then had to go to the church Thursday night to decorate for Ladies Meeting on Saturday. Today was a busy day and then tonight was the Youth Rally at Hemet church we won the banner with 15 from our church in attendance. Tomorrow morning have to get to the bowling ally for Bill's Special Kids even though Aaron cannot bowl then have to get to the church for the District Ladies Meeting. Monday Aaron has a dentist appointment and then on Wednesday I have my Mammogram oh how I love those. NOT! Since my last cancer share they make me have them every 6 months now. And of course they want all these tests done before my surgery. So you can see life has been far from dull. (smile)
Night All..... Hugs

Update on Aaron

Aaron was a real trooper for his surgery. Dr said he had no problems at all with him. The stitches will come out in 2 weeks and hopefully have the biopsy results by then too. Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.

Please say a prayer for Aaron ... Thank you....

Pray for Aaron please we got home a bit ago from a Dermatologist appointment I have been worried about this mole on his back it was beginning to have a black circle in the middle of it.

With me having Cancer (malignant Melanoma) from a mole and Sara too. I wanted it looked it. The Dermatologist said it has to be removed tomorrow.
He said with his Mom and his sister having Cancer it has to come off now..
So they are doing surgery on it tomorrow afternoon.

Please pray he will be fine with this and that the biopsy will be fine.

Bill's Special Kids Harvest Party Tonight

For the past few years a church here in Moreno Valley called Calvary Baptist Church sponsors a Harvest Party for Bill's Special Kids and they also invite the Battered Women from the local shelter and their children.It was really nice watching some of the little children from this shelter win games and win cakes from the cake walk. This year they had 2 bounce houses. They decorated their cars, trucks and vans for Trunk or Treat and they really went all out fully decorated with flashing lights and decorations as the kids went from car to car. They have games set up called the Milk Bottle Game, The Fishing Game, A booth where you can make picture frame, The Cake Walk (which Penny and I did) and Bob and Pat take photos for everyone to take home. This year they had a booth where you could make bracelets with the colored beads telling what each color means (The Gospel By Colors)they were awesome....Aaron made one for Penny since she was working the Cake Walk with me. I am going to make a key chain out of mine. It was a very nice party for the kids and even the adults seem to have a good time. What a wonderful outreach this church does each year. I feel God will truly bless them for their love and compassion for special kids.



Here is a couple of Scrapbook Pages I made tonight when I got back from the party.....

About the fires in California....Good Friends are hard to find.. I LOVE YA.....

I love my dear friends who are concerned about my family.... Wow I did not know we were so loved. (smile) I have had many phone calls from friends who live in places like Arizona, Georgia, Florida and other places. They were not sure how far from the fires we were and knew it looked like Southern California was all on fire on the news.
Since the fires began they have burned at least 373,000 acres, or 583 square miles an area larger than New York City. Fully a quarter of the California coast was ablaze. Flames climbed halfway toward the Nevada line through seven counties and devastating numerous communities.

Praise the Lord that we are fine where we are. All we have is the ashes and ugly sky and the awful smoke smells.

Yesterday Aaron's school went only for half day this morning at 6;30 they called and said today they were letting out (half day as well) so I said forget it don't pick him up for school today I will keep him with me.

I was going to be spending the morning and afternoon at Loma Linda Hospital with Bill. (from Bill's Special Kids) his wife Evelyn went in this morning for a Biopsy of her lungs. So Aaron and I sat with Bill and chatted while she was in surgery. We just got home a bit ago. They were going to make her stay for awhile. First they want to do a chest xray and they also have to keep an eye on her for awhile because the procedure they did on her can cause the lung to colapse. SO PLEASE PLEASE keep her in your prayers.. We love her so much she is like a Gramma to Aaron. We are quite close to the entire family.

Back to the awful fires.. I will post a couple of pictures one my friend sent me this is what it looked like near her home yesterday... And the other picture is what it looked like in our skies last night..

Pray for the fire fighters.... there seems to be no stopping of the fires and the winds have been very strong and makes it hard for them to get a handle on the fires..

The Gentle Giant and the Sweet Pea................

Aaron came home early today from school they let the kids out early because of all the fires and the high winds. As soon as he came in the door he took Corey from me. He adores Corey. (actually he loves all babies and little kids) Corey loves Aaron to talk to him he just coos away.. so so cute. So of course I had to grab my camera and take some pictures.
