Nie Nie Dialogues

So I was on facebook yesterday and one of my friends posted a link to this blog. She had read it and was so moved. I pulled it up and I am in awe of this woman. It is about her journey to recovery after a near fatal plane crash a year ago where 83% of her body was burned. She and her husband survived the crash but a friend did not. You must read it. Her writing is astounding. Her words are inspiring. It really makes you realize what you have and to be appreciative of life. Please visit the blog and tell your friends. http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/

Random Pictures

These are just some random photos. They are mostly of Taylor. We went down to Mandy and Cory's house Saturday afternoon to see our new niece/grandaughter. She is so cute and she was awake!! The others are of Jayden and Ammon at the fair with the guy who did the bird show. Then Jayden fixing his hair. He likes to do his own hair now. He was in the bathroom putting so much gel on and combing it for forever. He has a blue tongue from eating an airhead candy. Then their is smiley Parker.

Donations Anyone?

So, this wonderful lady at work's daughter found out she had a brain tumor. She has surgery this morning to remove the tumor. All went well, unfortunately she is one of the many Americans who are uninsured. I am posting the link to her blog here where there is another link to donate money. If anyone can donate anything I know they would appreciate it greatly. Vicky is such a fun lady to work with and it is terrible to see her and her family going through such a tough time.

Here is the link

No more waiting because....

SHE IS HERE!!!!

Mandy and Cory had their beautiful baby girl Wednesday, August 12, 2009. She was born at 1:34 weighing 7 lbs 13 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. She has blonde hair and is absolutely beautiful. She looks so much like her daddy but she has a lot of Mandy in her as well. She is a perfect combination. Cory doesn't want her to look like him. He wants her to look like her mommy. They have decided to name her Taylor Elizabeth Whetton. I will post more pictures besides the one on the sidebar when I get home.

That's all for now.

Well, there are a few posts for now. I haven't had much motivation or time to post lately. School is getting to me. I don't know if it is stress or what but I have been so tired lately and getting headaches. I must be making myself sick or something. Earlier this month I had a migraine and was throwing up. So hard in fact that I burst a few capillaries in my face and a couple BIG ones in my eyes. Just this last week I got sick again. Sarah burnt some popcorn Monday night and the whole house stunk. I was already having a bad day and stressed to my max with school. Well I had to get out of the house because I was starting to get really sick from the smell. Well, needless to say thirty minutes later I was home and throwing up again. So much harder this time that I broke many more capillaries in my face. This time all on my forehead, around my eyes, on my nose, my chin, and down my neck a little bit. I looked diseased. It really scared me because I couldn't stop. I had to quickly drink water out of the faucet just to have something to come back out. It got so bad that at one point I thought I might have been throwing up a little blood. Well, about thirty minutes later I finally stopped. I just haven't been the same all week. Even more tired than before. I can barely keep my eyes open and I haven't been able to get any school work done. Every time I open my book I want to fall asleep. I am just really ready to be done with school. Everytime I think about it I get anxiety. I just have no more motivation. Well, I guess I better try and get on my school work now. It is 10:30 and everything for the week is due at 11:59 and I have done nothing. Oh well, I don't even care anymore.

Pretty Rainbows

These pictures were taken July 12th. It had rained a bit that day and Jayden looked outside and pointed out the rainbow. Of course I had to grab my camera. There was actually two rainbows and they stretched forever. The sunset that night was beautiful as well.

Baby quilt

So this is the baby quilt we made Mandy. I didn't get a picture of the finished product so this is a picture of it right before we tied it.We found this kit at Sew N Save right after we found out her and Cory were having a girl. We didn't have time to get it quilted so we tied it instead. It turned out really cute. The back was green with white poka dots.
