HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT MEL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT MEL... I found this poem the other day and wanted to share it with you. The words remind me of you and how I feel. I wish you a very special birthday.

You always give so much of yourself
To the people that are around you
Adding a richness to their lives
By all the things you do

You have a special heart
One that is full of caring
Your heart is filled with genuine love
A love that you're always sharing

You're someone I can count on
When I need a helping hand
You're compassionate and loving
You always understand

I'm so thankful to have someone in my life
Who has a heart so true
Very few people
Are as loving as you

I love you!

Dress to "impress"

I really enjoy this stage of life with Coral. She'll be turning 5 in only two short weeks. She really is growing up to be a beautiful little girl. A loving heart and her love for God's Word call too many to listen. When driving in the car and my mind is full of life's stresses these days I hear Coral singing how Awesome our god is. It brings me to praying to God for strength not to let the stress run my life. Coral's smile brings the light to my eyes and opens them. At five years old, she has such a strong presence.
These last few weeks have been a tough on her. We have had many doctor appointments and many tests the last five weeks, only to find out really nothing. Everyday Coral is starting her day off with two breathing treatments an allergy pill and some other meds. After that she still doesn't feel better she's still coughing everyone 10 minutes. Most of the time the cough makes her so sick she has to run to the bathroom to get sick. She all together right now has 5 breathing treatment and three different meds. With everything this child is going through she's still smiling and going on with life as this is just a path she needs to go down. She reminds me know matter what when you have bumps in life nothing needs to stop just keep smiling and God will open the door.

FALL IS COMING

I really love the beginning of Fall. You walk outside and the air smells so clean and fresh. The leaves on the trees are starting to turn color. We get ready for a change of clothes. Long sleeves are coming out of the back of the closet the jeans are replacing the shorts. The best part though is all the fall festivals and the pumpkins patches. Our faviorte for the last three years has been visiting Reynolds Farm. Coral and Canyon both really look forward to our visit to the farm. We start off with a hayride to the pumkpin patch and we each pick out our pumpkins. Afterwards I love taking their picture near the big pumpkin to show they each how much they grew from the year before. I tried getting Chason Picture this year, but it was hard cause he's not able to stand yet. The best part is the long big slide. We all really love going down this slide. Chason even had a try, but he was a little unsure. Maybe next year. Well we hope to be able to visit the farm at least one more time this year.

How the Kids are Doing!!!

Wow!Life has been so busy. There's so much to update everyone on I'm not really sure where to start. Coral and Canyon both started school at CVCS and they 100% love it. They both have great teachers and are making a lot of new friends. Everyday they come home full of stories and how much fun they had at school. Next to Coral's picture below is a note I received from Coral's teacher this week. Coral really is a sweet child. The past 3 weeks have been pretty hard on her though. At the end of August Coral started coughing pretty bad and we thought it was another cold because of the whether changing. The cough kept getting worse. Three doctor appointments and I ER visit we still have no idea what's going on. For about two weeks she wasn't able to keep any food down. She was waking up several times during the night and running was out of the question. They changed her allergy medicine last week and she a little better. But I would say only about 40% better which is not that good. This Tuesday we have an appointment with an allergy doctor. I hope we can find out what's going on with her soon. She is a trooper though she's not staying in bed that's for sure. Canyon well he's all boyyyyyy. There isn't anything he doesn't get into. We went to the park to take the kids on a bike ride and Canyon for the first time rode his bike without training wheels it was pretty cool. Both kids are really sad summer is over. They keep asking to go swimming. It's sad we spent everyday in the pool both kids swimming like pros and then we take the pool down. We're already counting down the days to next summer. LOL
Chason boy has he grown. He weight about 20lbs and is crawling throughout the house like he's been here for years. He's always happy and smiling at everyone still. He also really loves his brother and sister. All three play really well with each other. He has six teeth that have come in this last past month with two more following. Yes, sleeping is a big problem now. He's also standing and really wants to walk. It's so hard to believe only 8 months ago I was carrying him in my tummy.
Here are just a couple of pictures of the kids and I hope to find some extra time to keep everyone updated on the kids. I'll try to update the last couple of weeks this week some time.



Just a quick note to let you know how Coral is doing! She's dong SO well! She's a sweet girl who listens very well! I'm enjoying getting to know her! She co-operates and listens without any issues! Thank you for the opportunity to get to know such an adorable girl! (from coral's teacher)
