welcome baby preston allen griffin

This post is definitely long over due. Our nephew was born in June to Allen and Jennifer Griffin who live away from us and we miss them all the time:) This beautiful baby especially!! I have not even got to hold him yet:( They came to visit, But we were super busy, regretfully. But of course they understood. Can't wait til' the holidays so we can see this little bundle of Joy!!!

This a collaberated montage, I am to lazy to separate them out and they would be to small really separately. It has austin's 5th birthday party from March of this year. Adan's 2nd birthday party from September of this year. The last pictures and video is when their great grand dad and nanny came to visit in May from England , this is the first time I met them as well as the kids and Damon had not seen them since he was a child, It was really exciting for me as well as the entire family. We miss them very much!!!!

I have not been posting in a loooong time. I have been busy with life changes and so forth. Things are definitely looking up since the last time I had posted anything.I am now working full time at my job instead of prn. Austin is going to kindergarten!!!!! Adan turned 2 yrs old, I have every intention of posting some pictures once I have the time. I have read everybody else's posts just not done any of my own in a while. Thanks to everyone who was praying for my family in our trying times.

Happy 50th birthday Susan!!!!!

may 4th is my mother-in-law Susan's birthday and this past Saturday they had a huge party. Although most probably do not remember it, lol. Her parents from England came all the way here to celebrate. We also had my brother-in-law and his wife who are expecting come up from Georgia and stay with us for a few days. And Damon's cousin Danny and his wife and 2 beautiful children also came in from Georgia. And way to many locals to mention. I believe everyone has had a great time and my children got to meet their great grandparents for the first time. I am so excited for her to get to spend this time with her parents and sister from England. They go back this thursday and I know they are spending as much quality time together that is possible. Well susan we love you very much and we wish you nothing but the best for your 50th and every year there after. Carrie took awesome pictures these are just a few and of course I had to put a picture of adan in there that she took because it was way too cute!!!!!

we got a new puppy

So i went and got this new puppy last night, he is a boxer was born december 19 which should be easy to remember since this is damon's birthday. He is cute but needs a lot of work to house train which I am definitely not looking forward to. I have all ready had my feel of it and it has not been 24 hrs yet, ha. Anyways we are going to have to get his ears clipped. We did not get tyson's clipped due to him not looking like a full- blooded boxer which we were told he was when we bought him. He would look funny if he did have them clipped. Tyson is real excited to get a friend to play with. Hopefully this will stop him from chewing up the kids toys when we leave them in the back yard.

My baby boy is 5!!!

Oh my goodness how time flies with your children on March 11, 2009 my baby boy austin turned 5. We had a huge surprise party and it was awesome I went all out with hiring a caterer to make an extra special cake because wal-mart or any other deli's did not have a looney tunes cake. He had a blast and was super surprised he had no idea I can remember it seemed like just yesterday he was a baby being brought home from the hospital, yes I have cried and cried thinking of how he is not little any more.

I remember when I decided to quit breastfeeding he started having problems using the bathroom, and he was so ridiculously fussy. Me being a first time mommy was nervous and scared and clueless as to how to help him. He had been crying for an hour or more, Damonand I had don everything we could and he would not quit. So what else do you do? Call MOM and that is what I did she came right over. She picks him up and he goes right to sleep. Ughh and my mom tells me in a loud voice "you are a nervous wreck and he can tell so you have to calm down and take care of him" lesson learned.

I could not imagine my life without this little angel in it. God has truly blessed me with both of my children. Austin was my rock during some very hard times in my life and I believe God knew that he would be when he put him in my life. Those of you who are reading this and knows me knows of those times so I do not have to elaborate. Of course he has no realization as to the huge impact he has made he was just a baby and still is but I definitely would have lost some sanity had he not been there.

Well I put together a small montage of my baby growing up I hope you can watch it and see this beautiful little baby grow into a little boy!!!!

I got a job!!

So I have been unemployed since October due to reasons beyond my control. But, today praise god I got a phone call from Baptist Hospital West asking me if I was interested in a position.....Absolutely!!!I have been trying to get hired there since November but apparently they have a very long hiring process. I am going to be working in the ER in the admissions, I start training March 9. I am so excited and grateful at the same time. I have truly been blessed in this unfortunate economy and everyone struggling to get by. I have been fortunate to have been able to have received an unemployment check to have a means to pay the few bills I have. I am including a couple of pictures that I have taken of me and the babies in the past week.
