Aaron's 2nd Surgery

Aaron had his second surgery we are awaiting the results from it and then will see the course of treatment that is needed for his cancer please keep him in prayer..

Thank you...

Our week last week

Well it started out pretty good then Monday evening Aaron took his shower and complained again about something hurting him I had been telling him for a week or so to let me look but he is a teenager now and said he would be fine. Well he was crying when he got out of the shower and called me in to look at what was bothering him. There was a very large growth (like a mole) It had been bleeding also. I called the Dr the next morning she said she would put in a referal to the Dermo/oncology in Enid, OK. Because of our family history with skin cancer we do not mess around with these things. I have had cancer 2times and Sara had it when she was only 5 years old. Aaron had one removed about 18 months ago but we got it in time. So they called me Wednesday afternoon and said to bring him in on Thursday so off we went to Enid. But not without complications first. We got up to go and went out my tire was low. We had a nail in it a few months back and they patched it. Well we went to fill it up with air. Halfway to Enid it went flat again. So as soon as we arrived in Enid we had gotten there early thank the Lord. Well we found a tire store. I could not afford 4 new tires right now so just replaced the front ones that day as it was they were 260.00 ouch had not planned on that expense for the day. Oh well knew we needed them will go back in a month or so to get 2 news for the back. So after that we went to the Oncologist. They did do surgery to remove it and then sent it to Pathology for a Biopsy they said would take about 10 working days for results possibly. So please keep Aaron in your prayers poor kiddo has been dealt enough bad cards in his life without this on top of it.
Will post more when I learn more.. Thanks in advance for your prayers..

Halloween Decorations

Last weekend we finally cleaned out the garage so I could find all my decorations so now I know where all my Christmas things are too. I found the Halloween ones while out there so decided to do a bit of decorating here are a few pictures..

Happy Monday Morning

We had a nice weekend. On Friday we drove into Oklahoma City and got a hotel for the night. We had tickets for a concert with Ernie Haase and Signature Sound. We have seen them many many times but I must say it was the best concert we have seen them at. We had front row seats who could ask for more? We will see them again in November in Tulsa at the Gaither Homecoming. Was really cool their Christmas CD was not due to hit the stands until October but they had them with them. And they all signed it for me. Also got pictures made with them. Aaron loves the Bass Singer, Tim Duncan he got his picture with Tim and with Ernie.. WOO HOO.. was a wonderful weekend. GOD IS GOOD...

Celebration of Life Service

As I am sitting here writing this all my family in California are attending the Celebration of Life service for Ashly, the services started at 10:00 am. My thoughts and prayers are with them all today. It will be a sad time because she is gone but also they will get to hear how much she was loved and adored as well. Missing you all in CA and you know I would have been with you if at all possible. Sending prayers and hugs your way Benji, Tammy and Tommy..

Prayers Please

Got an awful message this morning from CA.. my cousin Ben's daughter Ashly age 21 was killed last night in an auto accident in Yucca Valley she hit a semi truck head on. Please say a prayer for Ben and Tammy as they deal with this. Also pray for her husband Tommy,they had been married I think about a year or so. Such sad sad news..

Busy Week

Been a very busy and hectic week. We left here last Sunday morning to go into Oklahoma City, checked into the hotel and went site seeing a bit. We ate at Texas Roadhouse.. Aaron loves to throw the peanut shells on the floor. Ha!

Monday we had to get up early so that Aaron could have breakfast before taking him to the Autism Eval Class he was attending Monday - Wednesday in Oklahoma City.

We took him there they gave Dad and me a tour and showed us what they would be doing etc. We left Aaron there with his cell phone in case he needed us for anything.

We went off shopping for the day until we went back at 3:30 to pick him up.

That night we went to Movies and to Toby Keith's I LOVE THIS BAR restaurant. It is an awesome place we had eatten there before and has is another place Aaron loves to go.

Tuesday he went back to class and Mike and I just goofed off most of the day it was a rainy and stormy day in Oklahoma City.

That night after we picked up Aaron went to the Cracker Barrel for dinner.

Since we have NO restaraunts here in our town it is nice when we get out of town to actually go in somewhere and have people wait on you. (smile) funny you would think even in this small town they would have a Denny's or something.. NOPE..

On Wednesday morning Mike and dropped off Aaron at the class while I packed all our stuff up. When he got back we loaded the van and went and filled up with gas and went to Sams Club. I always take ice chests when we go into the city because I always want to go to Sams Club.. it is one of the closest ones to us.

Yes, we do live in the sticks before you ask.. (smile)

After Aaron got out of class we drove home a little over a 3 hour drive.

On Thursday Morning Mike, started his new job at the School working with Special Needs Children, he is still working at Walmart too but will be cutting back to working just Friday and Saturday nights there starting next week. He is so good with Special Needs Children and has a lot of patience, love and understanding.

Thursday was also Aaron's first day of school. He is in 5 mainstream classes this year.

His schedule is.. American History, Art, Algebra, Computer II, English III, Biology and some type of Home Ec class too...He is now a Junior in High School and attending a regular High School too I might add. We are quite proud of him and all he has accomplished.

Well I had best get off here and get busy. Mike got off work about 3 hours ago from Walmart and went out to mow the lawn I need to go tell him time to clean up so I can make him some breakfast. He also needs to take a nap today cause he goes back into work at 10 pm tonight at Walmart.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.... sending you all hugs..

Sunday July 26th

Heard wonderful news today that Sis. Wiggins is home from the Hospital and Rehab for her knee surgery and that she is doing wonderful. I am so pleased to hear this.
Please continue to keep her in your prayers however while she still is recovering from this. And please continue to keep Sis. Pat Yates in your prayers as well as she is still not doing well.

Have another request please keep my sister in your prayers her fiance passed away this past week and I know that she is having a rough time of it right now, death is never easy. Even though she and I don't really get along I still keep her in my prayers and pray she will be fine, so please say a prayer for her.

As I posted yesterday was our 39th Wedding Anniversary, Aaron took a picture of us this morning after church. We have not aged gracefully. ha ha ha as you can see in the wedding picture I posted yesterday and this one now.

Auction and Food Sale

There was an auction this weekend Friday, Saturday and Today.... from a lady who passed away her estate goodies ALL KINDS OF STUFF she must have had a large house. Anyway whenever this is an auction they will ask the Teen Impact Kids from the Bible Baptist Church that we have been attending. Aaron loves going to Teen Impact and has not had one issue with ANY of the teens there. (God is blessing) Anyway the Church has 2 vans they pick up kids for church on Sundays and Wednesdays etc. The Teen Impact is saving for a new van for the church. Cannot believe how motivated these kids are and how much money they can earn from selling sandwiches and dinners, pieces of pie and cookies etc.. awesome

I took some photos yesterday of the shift Aaron worked.. Some are with his cousin Justin and the man in the pictures is the Pastor Bro. John and the other boy is Zachary...

Happy Anniversary to my Hubby

39 years ago I married my best friend Michael and people said it would not last. (smile) oh well guess we showed them huh? Ha

I am so so lucky to have him in my life and to care for me and to love me.

Here is a picture of us when we married and when we were dating... Love ya

Morning Dear Friends

Well if you came on to read my blog guess you are my friend. (smile) so hello there dear friend.

Sorry I have not updated for a bit, been a busy week this week way to MUCH DRAMA for THIS MAMA...

But putting that all aside now and moving on.. life is to short for people who do not love and care for you. Cannot change people even if we wished to. Life goes on and you have to consider what is most important to you and I know I need to care for the two guys in my life and not think about what might have been etc.

GOD IS GOOD....I need to focus on letting him take care of the mean and nasty people and not me. (SMILE) So.. on with life..

Please continue to remember Dear Sis Wiggins as she is still recooperating from her knee surgery. She is doing well and news is possibly going home on Sunday.

Also please remember Sis. Pat Yates, as she is not doing well at all and recently suffered a stroke along with her other medical issues she already had (liver and kidneys) So please remember her and Bro. Lloyd her hubby in your prayers because he is her Caregiver and I am sure is also tired and covets your prayers.

Hope you all have a nice Friday and remember God Loves You even if no one else does and he is all that Matters... so keep a smile on your face and a song in your heart..
Hugs N Prayers to you all........................
