Resurrecting the dead blog! Whew! I have been away for sooooo long :( We have had sooooo many tragedies hit that I don't even know where to begin. Mom passed away July 13, 2007 (my Mother in law) and it has hit us all hard. She was the last grandparent for the kiddos and a main figure in their lives. It was with great sadness that we continue on and try to live our lives to the fullest without her here. She was a great women and is worthy of numerous awards, sadly a life taken too early. Mom passed at 1152 pm EST on Friday, July 13th, 2007. She leaves behind three children, 6 grandchildren and a community that loved her. Our prayers have been going upwards in hopes that she receives them. We continue to pray for everyone affected by her death.

This is a good one that she got of the kiddos! :D I will post more later! :D

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ! This is our family portrait session! The photographer, Stacey Lund, did a great job. :D I love this pic!

Mood: Bitchy ! Sobbing, irritable as hell! >:<
You know.. I always try to be thankful for everything in life that I have. Here lately is getting pretty hard as Kammie's migraines are increasing in frequency and intensity :( She is going to the podiatrist tomorrow to schedule her surgery. Zoe is going to the ENT on the 22nd because she has gotten strep 8 times since her tonsillectomy. :( I just wish they would get better. I think about it every day and constantly beg for someone to help. I thought my requests were answered. A pediatric neurologist called and could see us on Thursday! What a miracle! Well... that is what I thought. :( We leave out here at 10 am to make it to an 11 am appt. Well, no more than 15 minutes down the road the car breaks down. It overheats! AGAIN! :( so I pull over at the auto store (luck I guess) buy 15 dollars worth of fluids and call Justin witching! Well Kammie and I decide to make the best out of a bad situation and head on over the Dairy Queen for ice cream. After all, she says she thinks maybe icecream will make the headaches go away. :) I love her. :D She is so full of sweet innocence! :) SO we treat ourselves to icecream while waiting for Daddy (superman she says) :D He comes to the rescue and we are off again. Headed to somewhere off of hwy 29 (this is the best that the ditz receptionist can tell me) We went all the way to tucker 100 miles away.... No office I end up traveling this 3 times thinking I was just being stupid and not seeing the office. (mind you our budget is tight and with the price of gas at 2.40 a gallon I really cannot afford this). I end up going into this Family Healthcare office and having a complete and total nervous/mental breakdown. We have been trying to get Kammie seen since December for pete's sake! They were so sweet. They gave Kammers to Lollies and gave me a glass of water and told me it would be okay. Gee, what an arse I am. Sitting there sobbing in some strange doctors office. The ladies there were so nice that they decided to call the office and get directions. When the nurse gets off the phone ... she looks at me and says" hun you need to find a different doctor" LMAO Gah, I wish I could. Every other child neurologist (there is like 8 of them?) can't see her til august and it cannot wait that long. so there I go, bawling like a baby again. You have got to understand exactly how awful I feel about all of this. I am Supermom. Never miss a beat and never miss an apt. Well, today we did and I just couldn't bear it... Had it been a dental appt or routine check up maybe I would have faired better. But today we were on the edge of knowing what caused Kammers migraines....................

L@@K at my girl's dance! LOL They are such divas! :D

oy! What a bad blogger I have been! Things have been hectic around here as usual :) So, my new years resolution was to blog at least twice a week. But I am always a procrastinator so we will say this resolution went into effect March 1, 2007 ;) heheh Y'all call me out now, if I don't abide! :D I am off to post up some pics. Will be back here shortly with some updated photos. :D The girls aren't as prim as they normally are in these pics because they are both sick. Zoe has strep and Kammie is staying out of school due to problems with migraines (I don't understand why..>! But more on this later. ) :D

Another day at the doctor's office! Grrrrrrrr! Strep won't gooooooooooooooooooooo away! :P

Well, I have been working hard at drafting up a pattern for Dannas. :D It is for our new clothing line, KAZOO! :D More to come on that later. For now have a look at the two Dannas created thus far:

Alright, alright! So I need to do some updating here... LMAO :D My new years resolution is to blog every other day! And, to include my creations here... Yes I am a smidgen late on this stuff ;D As always! LOL SO here we go :

My proudest creation for my girls yet!!! Their jackets! LOOK

The hat would look like this if they held still long enough:



LOL :D I will post pics of Zoe's party later today! :D Or at least, I will try ;D hehehe

January 5th 2007- LOL Finally ! A long awaited blog update! :) Life has been so hectic here lately! :D Zoe recovered from surgery just fine. But she is still sick all of the time! Bleck! :) Kammie celebrated her 7th birthday on December 28th by having a barbie cake that she wanted momma to make and opening presents. That night she spent the night with her best friend Cassidy! :D Then on the 29th when she came back home, we did exactly what she wanted to celebrate her birthday! KAMMIE WENT ON A SHOPPING SPREE! LOL She has 5 new outfits, 3 new pairs of shoes, new belts, new hats and some more toys (as if she needs any!). :) :D So Christmas went off without a hitch, besides everyone being sick! :( We have the flu at the moment but will recover soon hopefully! :D Zoe's bday is on the 15th of the month. :D We are having her a party (because she wants a party not money! lol) on the 20th. Invites will be going out later this week for that! And we will take plenty of pics so we can share here! I should have taken pics of Kammie on her lil' spree and had a movie montage moment! LOL I wish I would have thought of that! :) Well I am absolutely postively swamped! I have two major swaps going on right now on WWW.CRAFTSTER.ORG ! THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD FOR CRAFTING! :) Well, off to cook a late lunch! I will check back in Monday and update pics!

OMGosh! :D How badly life comes in the way of blogging! LOL Well, as most know Zoe came out of her surgery just fine! There were some minor complications during the surgery but I am ecstatic to report she is good! :) Kammie is doing well, having a blast at school, and up to more trouble than usual! hehehehe. Tyler is just being Tyler and missing school once again.... *sigh* oh well...... I have really tried... I just don't know what else to do.........

Oh I am such an awful blogger! So sorry about that! :S :\ LOL I have just been 'sew' busy trying to learn how to better myself at sewing! ;D The girls are loving school! Poor Zoe has been so sick this year that she has missed most of school :( I know we are going to end up having to have a tonsillectomy, but I don't want to think about that right now! Whatever will keep her from hurting and being so sick! Well, back to my sewing! I don't know if I can handle setting back down at my machine! I can't figure out how to hem satin! ARRG!

This is Zoe on her first day of real school! OMG am I that old?????? :D 

This is the girls getting ready for their first day of school. I like this picture.... LOL It looks like Zoe is levitating :D :). 

This is all three of them going to town! We had so much fun at the blueberry farm! We will have to go again! 

Here are the blueberries we were picking. If you look closely, in the upper left corner you can see a little bit of Justin. :) 

Here the girls are picking BLUEBERRIES! They loved it!!! Especially when it started raining on us!!! But, after picking 2 gallons in the rain they decided they were too hot to eat any! 

The kids love playing around!!! They never sit still!!! 

Here are the girls playing outside!!! Kammie is so excited that she has finally learned to ride her bike without training wheels 

Tomorrow is Promotion Sunday at church! I was so excited to be able to meet my class and watch the girls go onto their next class. :) But, today we ran into a bit of an issue.... THE GIRLS HAVE CHICKEN POX!!!!!!!!! Zoe woke up this morning the little bity bumps (looked like eczema outbreak) had spread over her shoulders and to her chest area. We were devistated. :(( Then I started inspecting Kammie.... Low and Behold..... SHE HAS IT TOO. She woke up with none and with in an hour of being awake was covered from head to toe with the rash herself. I have already had Chicken Pox once, knock on wood, and hopefully I won't get it a second time.
:(( LOL Keep the girlies in your prayers as this is a hard time for them. Kammers hasn't felt this badly since we dealt with her going through the Kawasaki's disease. Well, 'til next time, here is to no scratching!!!
