Surgery Today


Please pray for me today September 25! I'm having my surgery today to remove the lump. The surgeon thought it would be best to go ahead and remove the whole thing and we agreed. Lord willing it won't be anything but there's always that chance so please pray for us as I go in for surgery at 3:00 pm and then while we await the results. We won't hear the test results for a few days, but I'll be sure to let you guys know what we find out.

Photo Shoot Of The Kids




First of all, can I just say that I think our kids are just gorgeous!!! =) Hey...every parent is a little biased right???

Secondly, all the credit for these photos goes to Rob Barbee. I've made a link out of his name so you all could visit his website. He did an AWESOME job with both kids. Ty was in a horrid mood the day we went, so a lot of his pictures are of him crying. lol Macie did great for hers. She did peepee on his black sheet when we took her diaper off for the "our hands holding her" picture. *oopsie!*

I absolutely LOVE the pictures! THANKS ROB!!!

Picture 1 & 2: Doesn't she look like the most precious little Hawaiian baby?! I think she's beautiful!

Picture 3: This one was a totally candid shot he snapped while we were trying to get Ty and Macie situated for a "together" shot. I LOVE it! After we got there, I told Ryan that I wished we had dressed for the occasion and had a family picture taken. So I was extra thrilled when I saw this one on the website proof page.

*note: these pictures are proofs, thus the words across the pictures. =)

Here's Some More...


Isn't this shot cute? We finally caught him smiling!

My mom just thinks it's awful that I had Rob take the tub pics of Ty. *here's why...* Years ago, mom took Dusty and I to Wal-mart to have our photos taken and I happened to see the tub sitting near where they were taking pictures and went into histeric fits. I cried and begged mom to not make me take my clothes off and have pictures in the tub. She said she ended up having to take me home and get my pictures later because I was so terrified that they were going to take my clothes off and put me in that tub for pictures. ***In my defense, if he had cried histerically, I wouldn't have made him do it either...but he LOVED those ducks! Plus, he had his diaper on and Ty is MOST happy when he's nothing but his diaper! lol

Our little Macie Jade.

Check These Cuties Out!!!


Mom says Ty looks very debonair in this picture. It's my FAVORITE one of Ty!!! He's grown up to be such a sweet little man.

Our little glow worm having sweet dreams.

Isn't this just the coolest picture?!!! Actually...haha...this is right after Macie tinkled on the sheet. =D I thought it was so neat though how she's laying in Ryan's and my hands!

A Little Hodge Podge of Pics...


Little Macie in a brand new outfit from her Aunt Sandra. It had little ruffles on the back! =)

This is when Ty first met his little sister Macie. =) Ashley bought him the cutest t-shirt that said "I'm a Big Brother!" He still adores Macie, but has a few jealous moments when she steals too much time on mommy's lap.

We just couldn't seem to all get looking in the same direction. Oh well. haha...

Prayer request: Please pray for me as I go next Friday morning to the surgeon to see what needs to be done about the lump that I found. Love to all...I'll try to get on here soon and post some stories that I have...I'm SOOOOO far behind!


ANSWERED PRAYER: Ryan GOT THE JOB!!!! YEAH! Thanks for all of you guys who prayed for him during his interview and all that! They called him the Saturday before I had Macie. God is SO good!

Some Of My Biggest Helpers

This was my awesome labor and delivery nurse!!! She was SUPER and my favorite labor and delivery nurse so far. (I've had four since there was shift change with both kids) I really liked my delivery nurse with Ty too, but Maria has them all beat! She was just great and encouraged me to do anything that made me most comfortable.

Ashley went through it all with us too! =) She was a great help and encourager as well! She's been such a great friend since I've moved out here. I was thankful to have her there!!!

Dr. C with Macie!!! This was right after the delivery. I wanted to make sure I got a picture of him and little Macie. He's been a WONDERFUL doctor!

3 Years Ago Yesterday...

Yesterday was Ryan's and my three year anniversary. He took the day off and us and the kids spent the day together. =) Later when we have a babysitter, we're going to go out on our own little private date. =)

What amazing times you can have together! I cherish all the memories that we've made! I never dreamed on that day that three years later we would be parents of TWO little kids!!! WOW!

Thanks again to Morgan...she was our wedding photographer! She has some great new wedding pics of a recent wedding that took place this past Saturday.
Congratulations to Sarah and Andrew Plett!!!
(they were the ones that just got married)

Shots of the Groom

Morgan brought along the crazy hats for the guys to wear. I think it turned out to be such a fun picture. I scrapbooked it under the title, "Boys will be boys" =)

Ryan with my nephew Jacob. He did such a great job that day and quoted his verse very well! =)

Um...what to say about this picture. hahaha I think it's pretty funny, so I thought I'd share! lol

Shots of the Bride

Me with my little neice Kelsey. Isn't she sweet? Mom made the beautiful little flower girl dresses!

This is one of my favorite of our wedding pictures. GREAT JOB to Morgan who took it. I think it looks like a magazine photo!

And last but not least, this is the picture that my father-in-law calls my "princess" picture. =) I sure felt like one that day thanks to everybody that was there and helped and of course...Ryan!!!
