Thanksgiving - Camping at Stone Mountain

Kyle and I decided to do something different this year for Thanksgiving. We went camping with our good friends Joey and Dee Anne and their kiddos. We had so much fun. We had a spread for Thanksgiving day lunch. Kyle and I took the kids to Stone Mountain and we saw Polar Express 4D, road the train around the mountain and played in a 4 story play house.










Light the Night




Back in November I got the honor of being Team Captain for Team Cooper Hardy in the Light the Night walk in Charleston. It had been a nasty day all day but stopped raining long enough for us to walk that evening in honor of Cooper. Much to our surpise our team also placed 2nd in team fun raising and we had about 40 people show up to walk with our Team! We look forward to next year!

Halloween Weekend Fun!

We had a fun busy weekend with family and friends. We joined some friends of ours Saturday night for a hot dog roast and hay ride for the kids. We had a blast the kids were wiped out at the end of the day. Halloween night we went to the fall festival at our church. Kyle was in the dunking booth and was such a good sport cause I know that water was freezing.He got dunked a good many times The kids enjoyed eating popcorn and cotton candy and getting on the inflatables. Madison cried the whole time he was in the tank. We then went with some friends for some door to door trick or treating in Gilbert. The kids had a blast doing that as well.

Gavin's MRI and Cyst Update

GOD IS GOOD!!

We went and had Gavin's routine follow-up MRI to check to see if the cyst in his brain had grown any. He did great. He only cried for a few second when they did his IV. He was so brave but he was in such good care. It took him a little bit to wake up but he did great and was back to normal immediately and requested pumpkin donuts from Krispy Kreme!
Well.....the Cyst is GONE - We could hardly believe it. These cyst rarely go away but the MRI showed no signs of the cyst. This was such a relief. I think in the back of our minds we always watched for any little sign that the cyst may be effecting something, we always wondered will this require a shunt or major surgery. But we no longer have to worry about this. GOD IS GOOD!


Orlando - Nick Hotel

My friend Dee Anne invited the kids and I on a last minute trip to Orlando to te Nick Hotel. I decided this would be the last time I could do something like this on such short notice during the school year (since Gavin will start school next year) so we left on a Sunday and came back Wednesday. I was a little nervous cause this was the first time I had done anything like this without Kyle. We had breakfast with Dora, Diego, SpongeBob, Boots and Little Bill. We watched movies in their 4D theater, we went to their onsite waterpark, we watched a live spongebob show. The kids and I had a blast.
