Others Tragedies remind me of Blessings

My little young step nephew who couldn't be more then 12 years old yet (man how time flys when you move away). Married this wonderful young woman and tried for years to have a baby, that baby is now 2 years old. Then they had another one, when the baby was born she had a lot of heart problems. I haven't talked to my nephew, J C, since he was about 12, just heard about him through grape veins, so I might not be so right on all details, but anyway, she just died this past week. She was about 8 months old. I just have been broken hearted since I heard for him and his wife. I could not imagine having to bury one of my kids. I get so over whelmed and tired when my kids are sick, but they have had nothing compared to what this baby went through in her little life. The doctors told my nephew that they should put the baby on a list for a heart transplant, but that would set her up for multiple heart transplants as she got older and a lifetime of disabilities and medications to make her body take the transplants. The baby has had to be kept away from everyone because of her immune system, they basically cut themselves off for the whole 8 months, to keep their baby safe. OH MY GOSH!!!! I could not stand the pain and the heart ache that these two are going through right now and have gone through. It is so sad that it takes tragedies of people I love and admire to remind me how easy my life is and how lucky I am that I have not had to deal with these kinds of things. I saw my cousin have to bury her little baby who died from SIDS. A mother from my home town bury a boy about 7 years old who drowned. My dad told me about my Uncle, when his little girl died from the same kind of thing as this baby, my uncle held the baby until they burried her, he played pattycake with her dead body. Isn't that just break your heart. I would be completely paralyzed if this happened to me, even knowing that we will be together again someday, I couldn't handle this.

Good luck to all of you and your families. I hope that you are all healthy and happy and take this chance or any chance to hold your kids a little more and remember your blessings, and I will be thankful for colds all winter long, because, at least I get to have them still, I am so selfish when it comes to having my kids.

Under 200 Days left

Yeah!! Only 199 days left of being pregnant!!!!

Mountain Drive

So we went with Aaron on a drive on Sunday (after we didnt go to church because we are all too sick) to look for spots for Aaron to go hunting this weekend. Beautiful mountain country. We brought our coats thank goodness and were able to get out and look at the beautiful sites. Gunners faces, I tried to pick out the best, he is so funny about cameras and pictures.

Cute family, just missing our daddy, but someone had to take the pictures, I kept trying to talk him into me taking the pictures and him being in them, but I didnt win, obviously.
Beautiful, isn't it.

Disconnected internet

Well, we decided to disconnect our Comcast and save us $100.00/month, until we have to buy the adapter to be able to watch TV, so that means, I now have Aaron's cell phone, we have no internet at home, and our tv will die. Aaron has a laptop, but he takes it with him during the day, so I will only be able to check up on it at nights. So, this might make less blogs for a while. Sorry. But Aaron took some really cute pictures that as soon as I can talk him into uploading, I will do a blog on that. Plus, I am completely los ton his laptop, it is weird for me to use. I feel very very incapable of using his laptop. I am sure I will get use to it.

SICK!!!!!!!!

I have no pictures this time, just rantings and ravings!!!!!! Aaron and Rietta just finished anti-biotics for "a touch of bronchitis", like today. Then Tienna woke up with a fever at like 4:00 this morning. Then Rietta woke up to her alarm clock at 6:45 and got dressed then came up and told me that she was feeling really weak and hot and couldn't swallow and felt like throwing up. So, both of them stayed home from school then at like 1:00 this afternoon, Aaron called saying the same things!!!!!! My family is sick every year from early Fall to middle of Spring. Good thing the baby is not due until May, hopefully by then we will be better. AAAAAAAAA. We have been drinking tons of Orange Juice. Taking daily vitamins. I have tried taking Vitamin C daily before, we still get sick. I change the towels in the bathroom a lot. I have my kids wash their hands. Like once a week, I get a washcloth with stuff on it and wipe down all the lightswitches and door knobs. Any other ideas of what to do to keep my family from getting sick ALL THE TIME!!!!! I can't handle sick kids and husband, but especially right now when I am so tired from being pregnant, hopefully I don't get sick also, that would be REALLY HARD. Thanks for listening, any suggestions, please let me know.

Fall continued. . .

The kid picture was supposed to be with this one, sorry, you would think I am completely computer illiterate. Anyway, this is another favorite about Fall, is the cooler weather to play outside and have more fun. Also, one of the best signs of Fall is GENERAL CONFERENCE!!! I LOVE General Conference and look forward to it every 6 months. Yeah, it is here!!! P.S. Gunner's faces are fake, he was being silly for the camera.

Fall

My dear friend Carrie posted a beautiful blog about Fall. I share your feelings Carrie. Here are some pictures from my front porch. I love all the colors on the mountain, sorry it is a little blurry.
