Eli's cast comes off on Thursday and from July 29 until August 31st, we will then be spending everyday at the pool (or so I have promised Eli). Some of the most memorable moments of the spring and summer have been visits with longtime friends. I am blessed to have childhood and college friends as some of my closest friends on earth, and it is exciting to be able to share motherhood with them as well. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497607595946213922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGn9OCKzzoSYslO6e4Nloz3AErFXTApzbJjVGOsJzsSl4x36L7O4u6OdQq_1zsg-b21Yk-ES9xstm6dSTbrrAXZRpiZwyz82DdPL6DloHdK6eRHqiDBQKfjclQynCnZfQkptAPaYyzC6E/s320/DSC_0015.JPG" /><br />My college roommates my senior year at Auburn (Mary, Kimper and Sarah missing).

On my birthday in January, Scott surprised me with a special treat. I could choose to go with him to either Chicago or DC after tax season for a long fun weekend. Afraid of running into Obama and his <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">possies</span>, I gladly chose the Windy City. So, on April 14<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>, I said "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">hasta</span> la vista baby" to my last tax return and began packing up. We were going to drive to Birmingham Wednesday night and wake up and meet my parents in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Clanton</span> at 8:30am to drop off the kiddos. At 9pm Wed. night I tell Scott to check the tickets to make sure we were all set. Scott had made most of the plans for the trip since I was so busy with work. We then discovered that our flight didn't leave at 1pm (in Huntsville) as we <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">originally</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">thoug</span>ht, it left at 11am. At this point I am physically and emotionally drained, and I just tell Scott we might as well cancel the trip because I am not able to drive all <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">throughout</span> the night to drop the kids off with my parents and I hated to make them drive through the night to meet us 1/2 way. (Seriously, am I 90???) I think he at this point wanted to drop me off with my parents and take the kids on a trip.... Anyway, Mom tells me to ditch my pity party and get in the car and meet them 1/2 way. Long story longer, we agree and at 1am we meet mom and dad in a parking lot off the interstate in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Prattville</span>. The kids were sound asleep, but Eli woke up as we put him in dad's car. As they pulled off, he sleepily looked at me and blew me a kiss, and I just lost it. Needless to say, Scott is really pumped up about our trip at this point.... We woke up early the next morning to get on the road to head back to the airport in Huntsville. I didn't feel so great, but decided to be in a better mood. That lasted until the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lakeshore</span> exit when I asked Scott to pull over so I could throw up. Nice. Threw up again a little later and thought the trip was over. We rushed home, I popped a nausea pill, rushed back to the airport, hopped on the plane, made it to Memphis without puking, felt better, ate a potato, kissed Scott, flight cancelled to Chicago-- maintenance, got on another flight, made it to Chicago, oops- our luggage didn't, went to dinner, back to hotel, changed into my complimentary Delta t-shirt and brushed teeth with complimentary "toothbrush", went to sleep, woke up next morning, bags in lobby, and the rest is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">happily</span> ever after.....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbzqauvgJeY3AIpaaZRdVAAPY2440svh6Vo9vkB6A7Tgx0ddNgJ3RpHOLRr6sWqfRr-gmKaVpEvwuo74d32G0FPZ3HSFOFdqvviFnj1xRt83fNYGZf7GkU4sgT9VwuU1RmusOi0_YNB_A/s1600/DSC_0013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479085192155028162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbzqauvgJeY3AIpaaZRdVAAPY2440svh6Vo9vkB6A7Tgx0ddNgJ3RpHOLRr6sWqfRr-gmKaVpEvwuo74d32G0FPZ3HSFOFdqvviFnj1xRt83fNYGZf7GkU4sgT9VwuU1RmusOi0_YNB_A/s400/DSC_0013.JPG" /></a> Windy day in the windy city...<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xAVwWeAHuj_VLLkfQEKCvDpReQQ6Zgqn8rrgJEmI7UJGpbPGvzVmh6ylbYq4Czm8bWz5azkFqZh0QR3LZ1cCgx7vm1kdhN8vOLWwxyerquRGo64ftk-oWEujgD3uM6qIp0MSk0umBCQ/s1600/DSC_0007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479084920903662546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xAVwWeAHuj_VLLkfQEKCvDpReQQ6Zgqn8rrgJEmI7UJGpbPGvzVmh6ylbYq4Czm8bWz5azkFqZh0QR3LZ1cCgx7vm1kdhN8vOLWwxyerquRGo64ftk-oWEujgD3uM6qIp0MSk0umBCQ/s400/DSC_0007.JPG" /></a><br />My most patient friend......<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPdT7CF4IgWndonb2hn0i4pghJ8QWDnuhiFt4IwxPsrOCJxvb07oKnlB8OzVvqooPuOApp0d8tl3s57pjtPfAT6ryDWi3cGUexuM-02sU_kV2fVfOzTnOkv28IloFEgZEdjgGBqrKl2lA/s1600/DSC_0006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479084675775362146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPdT7CF4IgWndonb2hn0i4pghJ8QWDnuhiFt4IwxPsrOCJxvb07oKnlB8OzVvqooPuOApp0d8tl3s57pjtPfAT6ryDWi3cGUexuM-02sU_kV2fVfOzTnOkv28IloFEgZEdjgGBqrKl2lA/s320/DSC_0006.JPG" /></a> My motto for the trip.....<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-_PbbuK4Qnv7boVlxAabrComMEPZmOVCVFWa2Js3xx7w9O4vkl10FxLxnen2hsp9dwMS11MZZSLAt2zL2dBSe7UltqshcK3_OvqG9bMtbfI1NtEPZdjiLtWx6nc08MPjFs8HWAJOm8g/s1600/DSC_0005.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479084546018482882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-_PbbuK4Qnv7boVlxAabrComMEPZmOVCVFWa2Js3xx7w9O4vkl10FxLxnen2hsp9dwMS11MZZSLAt2zL2dBSe7UltqshcK3_OvqG9bMtbfI1NtEPZdjiLtWx6nc08MPjFs8HWAJOm8g/s320/DSC_0005.JPG" /></a> My kids have the laugh part down on this one---- the others are works in progress...<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghMkDWD6wQG0WdRG0pE5zQHOV4zwLnIQmo4GmkaIzKhyphenhyphenfE1lbkUxIy1WaGfGrWeYwlAq0NESDaqP4iAnzjDN-jSJwa5f8BK0nST1YH6v6ZSFv-y_53CAnMMaCnhVLTKHf30121OGo9a2w/s1600/DSC_0004.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479056464421104082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghMkDWD6wQG0WdRG0pE5zQHOV4zwLnIQmo4GmkaIzKhyphenhyphenfE1lbkUxIy1WaGfGrWeYwlAq0NESDaqP4iAnzjDN-jSJwa5f8BK0nST1YH6v6ZSFv-y_53CAnMMaCnhVLTKHf30121OGo9a2w/s400/DSC_0004.JPG" /></a> Tulips were EVERYWHERE.

He's cuddly, he's cute, he's 6 weeks old, and ......he's going to have 1/2 his brain removed on Thursday. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464808728731540658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglL6X_Zq7wfYBDGHkeJLA1swiD9TEwpVEDSGZynBj-wIPA2YeB7NSWomYlEKCJA6xgrTgpUfcpQzXBOJKZAoKCdTkpFvkKa8y9JP3R5vqhTkbc7Q9EH4PPiZok-pCIGKpdFVclnQOA0uc/s400/thomas+3.jpg" /></div></div><br /><p align="justify">His father, Stuart, is a childhood friend of my husband. Stuart and his wife Chris also have a 3 year old boy named Forest. You can go to his caringbridge site at <a href="http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/thomassummers"><span style="color:#3333ff;">www.caringbridge.org/visit/thomassummers</span></a> to find out all the details and to follow Thomas' progress. There have only been about 10 surgeries of this magnitude for a child this small--- EVER. The Summers family lives in Birmingham and the surgery will take place at UAB. The surgery will be about 48 hours in total, and if he lives through the surgery, he could possibly live a normal life with the remaining half of his brain taking over the functions of the other. </p><p align="justify"><em>To break your heart even further, let me give you some more background on this family.....</em></p><p align="justify">Seven years ago, Stuart's sister gave birth to a beautiful little boy. All was joyous until several hours later Christy began having some complications. 24 hours after the birth of her son, she was dead from toxic poisoning. (this happens VERY rarely). Fast forward to last week. Stuart's mother and father found out about Thomas' condition and started the drive from Huntsville to Birmingham to see the baby. Mrs. Dot began developing a bad headache and they turned around and went to the hospital. Her blood pressure had sky-rocketed, causing a stroke, and she was hospitalized until yesterday. Scott and I visited with her in the hospital and she seems to be better and in good spirits. </p><p align="justify">Needless to say, this family has been broken. This family needs a miracle.

We visited the Montgomery Zoo with Meeps and Peeps the end of March, and both Eli and Caroline felt right at home. Caroline's favorite thing to do is growl, so she fit right in with the the tigers, and Eli likes to act silly, so he was most at home with the chimpanzees. Honestly, they were both great and were entertained the entire time we were there. It had been almost a year (wow) since we took them to the Columbia Zoo, and this trip he was interested in actually learning about the animals and their habitats. So, if you want to know the fastest animal on the earth, just give Eli a call....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOdxlt_ddRE8yOwU95ZEb2gQ9yfbLcjMSoHHBcztHTKIwqxe_5brVXexAnISdPTgTNuzPKRkReSk6sn-U8DUKsjTO1TTCo7x6Xe8gueirJJERnZJ579yTFeIJnZdydIP4RMNzPuu2rqlc/s1600/DSC_0223.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457741647080672274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOdxlt_ddRE8yOwU95ZEb2gQ9yfbLcjMSoHHBcztHTKIwqxe_5brVXexAnISdPTgTNuzPKRkReSk6sn-U8DUKsjTO1TTCo7x6Xe8gueirJJERnZJ579yTFeIJnZdydIP4RMNzPuu2rqlc/s400/DSC_0223.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQHlyNece9oMnxYKqdF7SJhkJMuIHVllNLIxqtAByPbbOC_vnVG8t4DZoKh_5QabB6pN0MoFhfS2bmtkn9xcoEQ4j-yrwR6B6wV7-mFLQPyThWpKkhyphenhyphenY1daa2cWLsQKYc2yYDwDZQHZo/s1600/DSC_0227.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457741557021619410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQHlyNece9oMnxYKqdF7SJhkJMuIHVllNLIxqtAByPbbOC_vnVG8t4DZoKh_5QabB6pN0MoFhfS2bmtkn9xcoEQ4j-yrwR6B6wV7-mFLQPyThWpKkhyphenhyphenY1daa2cWLsQKYc2yYDwDZQHZo/s400/DSC_0227.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzE-HPk5mWIXahVvcYShYtVshRiuFqqsD52L_qUa2XNbFrYXHUlLlIvYKNvT4j8R31Vs2UN5n4JuXj2JxG9i-jZNKPhMLSjUslC5KX0DsSuhgoSCUmPmqRdi-YvTrnACF7NgZkBcVXDs0/s1600/DSC_0236.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457741439812481586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzE-HPk5mWIXahVvcYShYtVshRiuFqqsD52L_qUa2XNbFrYXHUlLlIvYKNvT4j8R31Vs2UN5n4JuXj2JxG9i-jZNKPhMLSjUslC5KX0DsSuhgoSCUmPmqRdi-YvTrnACF7NgZkBcVXDs0/s400/DSC_0236.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgByiYqAN95Wx4obtydXefwwt-xBTGmDpdT3OfwpbXKr9yiFTMtJCtaN1csd2SmqTMf42c_Vc2O4svmR9z_jt-LuLh6uDPzCjol-a4P6jIdXSL28NJefSrrxNo5LJQqFlLKZdDBrp_86yk/s1600/DSC_0241.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 333px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457741337897197618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgByiYqAN95Wx4obtydXefwwt-xBTGmDpdT3OfwpbXKr9yiFTMtJCtaN1csd2SmqTMf42c_Vc2O4svmR9z_jt-LuLh6uDPzCjol-a4P6jIdXSL28NJefSrrxNo5LJQqFlLKZdDBrp_86yk/s400/DSC_0241.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4dOmgxdkHvmLwVAWsgynX6Q5fQpAeiHRe_0O8IMk90Kgf07IPu_lI7jA4sixOyulTUeToXzHtU4oL87HYVb6gKk9Thjltmio9eUaEqP98vMbkwkdqLaILRm9NVVRK1-VuoFdg2kCHpS4/s1600/DSC_0253.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 277px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457741248890515282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4dOmgxdkHvmLwVAWsgynX6Q5fQpAeiHRe_0O8IMk90Kgf07IPu_lI7jA4sixOyulTUeToXzHtU4oL87HYVb6gKk9Thjltmio9eUaEqP98vMbkwkdqLaILRm9NVVRK1-VuoFdg2kCHpS4/s400/DSC_0253.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIv7R_h4wAnIU6wdJBoA9i04keK2ERXEeRDLRj6N-T5t99dwPD-w6TjhpHZr0Wn1AssXK_Uc1R7Mq2NJIQ6Z_SJZ2kbiHCYR-8U4sAhVwmankvTx1wy_TNDERzujZUbgUZYd89D1ubfbU/s1600/DSC_0254.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457741136962192722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIv7R_h4wAnIU6wdJBoA9i04keK2ERXEeRDLRj6N-T5t99dwPD-w6TjhpHZr0Wn1AssXK_Uc1R7Mq2NJIQ6Z_SJZ2kbiHCYR-8U4sAhVwmankvTx1wy_TNDERzujZUbgUZYd89D1ubfbU/s400/DSC_0254.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYeVKvqwJyHZMldc4HTZ2nScCH0uWTLp9j0upjlzeHjbowdrgqVA4uI1aZ6i3Npk2D9w-mjHMxNCq906WNeGekNCSmjuZurZ4apAG05xQjJsAd1CoKh2wIu8iOL6UF6HaaE-wEK2Z2AFw/s1600/DSC_0271.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457741012527774754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYeVKvqwJyHZMldc4HTZ2nScCH0uWTLp9j0upjlzeHjbowdrgqVA4uI1aZ6i3Npk2D9w-mjHMxNCq906WNeGekNCSmjuZurZ4apAG05xQjJsAd1CoKh2wIu8iOL6UF6HaaE-wEK2Z2AFw/s400/DSC_0271.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018319695359425826noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980828007884100560.post-33923050148329609742010-04-08T07:02:00.012-05:002010-04-08T07:18:43.737-05:00Beautiful DayEaster Sunday.

(what he calls his blanket).</div><br /><div>2) On our way out to the car for Wednesday night church, Eli runs back to into the house. "Eli, what's wrong," I say. "Mommy, I have to go back and get my word of God."</div><br /><div>3) Eli and I are heading out to Auburn for recruiting interviews I am doing for my work. Eli frantically shouts, "Oh no Mommy, turn around. I forgot my shaker....."</div><div> </div><div>4) As Caroline is crawling up the stairs, "Mommy, you better get up there and spank that girl."</div><br /><div>5) Saying his nightly prayers with Scott, " Dear God, Thank you for my food, thank you for Mommy, and Daddy, and Caroline, and thank you God for letting me tell Mommy and Daddy when Caroline is crawling up the stairs."</div><br /><div>6) After a lesson on learning to love people but hate the devil Eli says, "Emily, I think I kinda like the devil."</div><br /><div>7) When walking into the Five Guys Burger and Fries Eli shouts, "Oh no Meeps, where are the five guys?"</div><br /><div>8) Every night when I tuck Eli into bed, "Mommy, wrap me around....."</div><br /><div>9) Anytime the letter "E" appears on the tv screen, "Whoa, how did my name get in the tv?"</div><br /><div>10) When congratulating one of Scott's boys that he works out on doing a great job in a basketball game, Eli runs up to him and says, "Johnny, great game, wanna come to my new house?"</div><br /><div>11) On his way home from a basketball game with Scott: "Daddy, when I get bigger, I am going to do all that basketball stuff like all those big boys."</div><br /><div>12) After playing football for the first time with another little boy and seeing a football game on tv: "Mommy, look at those boys playing football and tackling just like me and Nathan."</div><br /><div>13) On our way out somewhere I looked in the mirror and commented how I looked really rough. Eli then says, "Mommy, you look really pretty, and I look really pretty too."</div><br /><div>14) "Mommy, I don't feel good. My tummy hurts. I think I need some candy to help me feel better."</div><br /><div>15) Visit with Santa Claus 2009: "Santa, I would like cars and trucks... and underwear please."</div><br /><div>16) Auburn Fight Song: "War Eagle, fly down the hill....."</div><br /><div>17) "I can't wear that shirt. It might make me get sick."</div><br /><div>18) "Eli, are you going to make Meeps a Valentine after you make Peeps one?" "No, Mommy, she has already had her birthday."</div><br /><div>19) "Mommy, you can't go outside. You're a girl and daddy and me are boys. Only boys can go."</div><br /><div>20) Taking off his Halloween costume, his Uncle Eric makes a comment about how he likes his underwear. Eli then proceeds to pull his underwear down and says, "And you wanna see what else I got?" </div><br /><div>21) Eating after church this past Sunday and OUT of the blue Eli says," So Daddy, how are those workouts going for you at D1?" Fine Eli, thank you. "And Mommy, how is work going for you?" Great Eli, thank you for asking. "And Mommy and Daddy, how was your class today?"<br /><br />So many more I could post... but these are our favorites.</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018319695359425826noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980828007884100560.post-74141659979753984962010-01-25T12:50:00.005-06:002010-01-25T18:16:09.995-06:00A Room Filled with AngelsScott and I recently attended the Fellowship of Christian Athlete's Marriage Conference in Huntsville. I think it was the best conference I have ever attended and the first conference in which I thought I wished it had lasted just a little longer. (my friends know that I am not so much a "sleep over" kind of gal). There were so many take-aways that I will share maybe later, but one that I want to share with you now.<br /><br />Sometimes I am gripped with fear at how I will die--an accident? cancer? cruise ship drowning? over-indulgence of pickle juice?? At the conference, singers <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Jonathan</span> and Lisa Moore led our praise and worship. Very talented couple with sincere hearts and a passion for music and for Jesus. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Jonathan</span> told us a story of a conversation he had with a cousin about the passing of the cousin's mother. "Cousin Roy" said that his mother was eaten with cancer. His brother's and sister's knew that her time was very short and she was in and out of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">consciousness</span>. On this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">particular</span> night, all the brothers and sisters had other obligations and could not stay overnight in the hospital with their mom. As they were debating about what to do outside of her hospital room, they heard their frail and weak mom shout "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">ya'll</span> go home tonight, I'm going to be all right. Don't you see the angels? No, mama, they said. We don't see any angels. Well, sweet darlings, mama said, they are all around me......"<br /><br />Hearing that story brought me peace. How wonderful to think of angels surrounding us and singing to us as we pass from this life to the next. One more thing on my list to look forward to...<br /><br />Click on the link below to hear the song that the Moore's wrote about this story.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HXHHft0F5U"><strong><span style="color:#cc6600;">www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HXHHft0F5U</span></strong></a>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018319695359425826noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980828007884100560.post-52069534834987581852010-01-13T14:35:00.010-06:002010-01-13T14:57:18.586-06:00Freeze<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Yzz2fkpGs-K09SJFPVC63oPixKUdeAgXm7cKboauICOpOu4rQbhxYMzKrjsfxlCUgo5s3ulPwhAg2iQw5wmrmdNylNqHudh9hF-bhl34uuWLdxskoquaLZ6yC-1ntLM2h3mNebZmYC0/s1600-h/DSC_0364.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426331296646342386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Yzz2fkpGs-K09SJFPVC63oPixKUdeAgXm7cKboauICOpOu4rQbhxYMzKrjsfxlCUgo5s3ulPwhAg2iQw5wmrmdNylNqHudh9hF-bhl34uuWLdxskoquaLZ6yC-1ntLM2h3mNebZmYC0/s400/DSC_0364.JPG" /></a> I have finally come out of hibernation enough to post pictures of our winter wonderland last week. When it gets cold, I tend to stay 1) in the bathtub, or 2) among the covers of about 2o blankets. A little more challenging with 2 kids, but we managed to stay warm.

A hospital free Christmas!! After Eli's ER visit in 2007 and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Caroline's</span> arrival in 2008, our Christmas 2009 was hospital free and full of "magic moments." I took many more mental pictures than actual pictures because it is impossible to capture the excitement in Eli's voice analyzing how Santa will make it down <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Peep's</span> chimney, or the thankfulness in our heart's as we celebrated the birth of our Christmas Eve baby. We were all together for the first time since David and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Caylen's</span> wedding, and for one of the first time's in my life, we had no real agenda.

This takes on triple meaning for us because not only do Scott and I celebrate the birth of our Savior, but we celebrate the births of our children, both born in December. During this holiday season there is so much to celebrate, and more importantly, so much to be thankful for. I have posted a slideshow that replays the events of our family over the last 2 weeks. We had a small combined party for the kids this past weekend and we are grateful to our family and friends for making the trip to come celebrate this special time with us. The toys in the house are overwhelming-- which is only going to get much worse in 9 days! Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to my babies!<br /><br />Happy Birthday also to my sweet mom, Kristy, Brooke, and Lindsey!!!<br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d544d784d5441334d444d3d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox slideshow: Celebrations" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d544d784d5441334d444d3d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own slideshow - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/slideshows" target="_blank">Make a Smilebox slideshow</a></td></tr></table>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018319695359425826noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980828007884100560.post-9175358572890600942009-12-03T17:26:00.012-06:002009-12-03T20:18:41.247-06:00Christmas CheerIt's the most wonderful time of the year. The time when our eyes twinkle in merry wonder, we "accidently forget" to check our bank account balance, and pictures of me seem to always come out with red-eye that can't be removed because it's not from the camera! Two children with December babies, a mother with a December birthday, Christmas, whew, getting tired already.... BUT it is the most wonderful time because we have so much to celebrate!!

Your favorite expression is "uh oh" when you purposely throw things on the floor. We can't exactly get you to say bye-bye to anyone, and I suspect it is because you can't possibly imagine why anyone would want to leave you to go anywhere. Needless to say, you love people and love social activities. At Thanksgiving you did your own performance where you told all of us that you were "SO BIG". You kept raising your hands over and over again because you enjoyed the explosion of applause you received from all your grandparents.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411154671654984162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhadLnbQUku_O7i0zfOF2BjcGu9M6JNcu4PByBdq18fqVZXOLbErJetH-ewmvUTwxcMyjFsp6sDna92d-oexPQU1ZFTuwAB_fxNs56KhDnLB-BpMPjF08zXwlOF79PgofQ1wImZLI9rd_o/s400/DSC_0072.JPG" />You are easy to please- except when hungry, and when you are put in your highchair, you're all business. So far, you eat just about anything which continues to make your brother very happy- especially when he can feed you something off his plate that he doesn't want.<br /><br />You call for Daddy all the time, and call for "ma ma ma ma" when you are mad or upset. You had some great quality time with your Dad and me while Eli was in Disneyworld and we loved every minute of you having our undivided attention.<br /><br />You represent everything good in this world, and we love you with all of our hearts.</div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411151959291781762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aDZrx5HnNO0uorIDbfx96l_mtQOZ1u2w6uHgXxHVRxu-hY5e0nagpQGxCOC3H3LcFV_YUtIt6fM0iAwsB0UK9PFmMjaKAK79Hl8_rrm4sZD_yQX6Z2l43RP-z4uePMxz8w011JwgCcA/s400/DSC_0057.JPG" /></div></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018319695359425826noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980828007884100560.post-52886782579487947312009-11-23T09:37:00.002-06:002009-11-23T09:41:09.138-06:00Loving LifeThat is Eli.... loving life in Disneyworld right now with my Mom and Dad. At 10pm last night (11pm their time) my mom called to tell me that Eli had "worn them out." They had been at Magic Kingdom all morning, and at 3pm they told Eli they should all go take a nap. Eli told them matter of factly,"Meeps there are just too many things..." (to do he means). At 10pm they finally dragged him out of the park only after him saying repeatedly, "just 2 more things, just 2 more things."<br /><br />Don't we all wish we had that much energy???<br /><br />Hopefully some new pictures to post this week.

It's been so busy that if I don't get with it and do laundry soon I will be forced to find my swimsuit bottoms (don't act like that hasn't happened to you..... :o). Seriously though, Scott and I just got back from a week trip to Las Vegas where I had a business trip and then we drove to the desert to see David and Caylen in Phoenix. (Las Vegas is the desert too I guess, but we were staying at the Four Seasons and were surrounded by palm trees (correction- Scott was surrounded by palm trees) so we didn't notice as much)). The day before we left, we spent our first night IN OUR NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! Whoopee!!!

I love everything about being a Stapler, and I love the transformations in my life as a result of marrying Scott. For example, I have developed a strong appreciation for basketball and kicking Scott's butt in the NCAA March Madness bracket, I've become much more mellow during adversity, and I have developed a much deeper love for carbs and fine cuisine. As a result, I blame my husband for the excess dimples on my thighs. I have learned to try to take life one day at a time because the journey is never as you expected it would be. In the midst of it all, we have both seen firsthand that God always provides you with a flashlight and a navigation system so that you will never feel alone or lost for too long. I never thought that I would live 2 years of my life on the ocean far away from family, nor did I ever think that I would experience the loss that comes from losing a child in miscarriage. However, those events helped develop who we are today and definitely made us more dependent on each other and our Savior. We have had many ups, some downs, and always joy.<br /><br />I am thankful to be married to someone who is so funny and quirky and paticular and easy-going. I am glad that he has taken my advice on getting rid of all of his XL shirts that went down to his knees, his $55 haircuts, and his need to get out 45 different pans when he cooks. NOW, if I could only get him to see that wearing black socks to bed is not sexy....<br /><br />Thank you Scott for loving me--so good--- you are my #1 favorite, and I love you... infinity and beyond!!! </div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018319695359425826noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980828007884100560.post-11283630134700195482009-09-17T13:58:00.008-05:002009-09-17T14:35:48.543-05:00She "EIGHT" Alot!<div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKzIqfW3QwiSO_P3VaIe6N97zQcIKrji-SMdlxwN8RUrqKoRV-r3GZXtjiLpxjluSCQ3rEK0vPLUln7wt-K8GNWXUeScn-kmeJmDqWgXytCc-uDQKKR9EVIk8Xv1_EqdsOeAS2KowPIJ8/s1600-h/Sept+2009+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382521520943130450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 339px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKzIqfW3QwiSO_P3VaIe6N97zQcIKrji-SMdlxwN8RUrqKoRV-r3GZXtjiLpxjluSCQ3rEK0vPLUln7wt-K8GNWXUeScn-kmeJmDqWgXytCc-uDQKKR9EVIk8Xv1_EqdsOeAS2KowPIJ8/s400/Sept+2009+004.jpg" border="0" /></a>My 2 year old might be on a hunger strike, but not my 8 month old! Caroline loves to eat anything, and everything. (and she has 4, almost 6 teeth) We order a happy meal for Eli and almost every time Caroline seems to go ahead and take care of it for him. We were so cautious about what Eli ate, and now with our 2nd, well, let's just say we TRY really hard.... Eli has really enjoyed the fact that she eats alot. "Eli, did you eat all of your peas?.... Yes, mommy, I did....."Hum, well Eli, what is that green stuff hanging from Caroline's mouth....."<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382518989946362242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwqZmbgn_y1EN-t71Woxhd6Q5sgPNh7ON1lXry1DOWP_tfuC8CZxZN4lsNSj5tUaDp_N5h6JTs0Pkh9tZksCNDFBUuJOUioNzOUWchmyMcJzgLkz9uACgh5rU_ZyplZuiJkP8BSAuIjRI/s400/Caroline+with+bottom+teeth+Sept+2009.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382521047573779154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOyArK1Vgzvu-SjgHQ3e5GNOcF6IgP8CR37QbKspWoQqz1QX-aRR-gfMaCw99bRES5MALj1dcmdrRUFEllEh4D_78BF0FSRJNHQ8M6Uzh5887i0ftNiW8LyzcPedOoa05apYTV4t9OWWo/s400/Sept+2009+029.jpg" border="0" />Caroline is about to turn 9 months, but over the past few weeks she has achieved so much. My little cuddler is going into extinction, and instead she wants to be down and crawling and pulling up on to something. I think she is close to walking, and possibly because she knows she has to have more defense mechanisms for an Eli attack. Some people ask me now that I have one of each if can tell if there is truly a difference in boys and girls behavior. My answer, UH, only about as much as there is a difference between Jude Law and Michael Moore. For example, at 8 months when Eli used to take a bath, he would automatically get into Olympic swimmer mode & the way he would kick would make even Micheal Phelps tired. Caroline at 8 months, well, she just likes to sit and play with the bubbles and smile- just so princess-cute like. <div><div align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382521248054575474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitLnDqXPpdGt0T3MSk4Q-LcMupaX_NeN9S157eaJNF65FXiDkuCZ_sTD3MPxcOsg-BEg1Wm5I3FmkuPoakx2RP_wEgEScS9QdDcgxCnADH9Wp0DsDhE6Ez2oIKSiXvofWTwQQXmsqqq78/s400/Sept+2009+009.jpg" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382521927713010114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9w_W36JfwhuyJ4n2PfXac2Xz9i8iK-T3Tz-zxqG-8dLgmCsin4Gk3eutEptInd2iH6F-D3R8hMTr67G3XQ46PndHim6pLLClwVWfq_SVFwUinwmHx7oHTiC1_YN6kRsS6nr1Nd65AGIY/s400/Sept+2009+019.jpg" border="0" /> There was a couple from our church in Huntsville that we had recently met. Probably 2 of the nicest people I have ever been in contact with, and they have 2 adorable girls, age 2 and 4. Last week, the husband Tim, age 31, was found dead in his car from a possible heart attack. He was on his way to pick up his girls from pre-school. I didn't know Tim very well, but his death serves as a reminder of the harsh reality that it is not a given that we will see our children grow up. Everyday of life is a gift from God, and even the most stressful of days should be considered a blessing. I'm so thankful for Scott who is such an incredible father and husband, and am so very thankful for my children. We have been doing a lot of "group hugs" around our house lately, and when we have to get up with them sometimes 4 times a night, it just doesn't seem to bother me as much anymore. I know one day I am going to really wish these days hadn't gone by so fast...<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382522130443676274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9o_zKRi0FfufH5Yw-RCKNh2scfPZVGQih_6-4gsX7MdyspanVOh8pXqaCo4Q3Ch9spL4ZkTmvcx-Z-FGi5ak6hGqFuQiNWZfZmOCKU4yYpExz986TJ_RNTTDc_hSI3iiEbcp-5aVxhiY/s400/Sept+2009+023.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03018319695359425826noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980828007884100560.post-84130484493953276542009-09-10T15:40:00.008-05:002009-09-10T16:02:57.816-05:00Posing and Playing<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVYpjQHPUtzfBE7IaVE3TAPTV4RaPZNWCy_jesftMOqmnlB-4WIUTSoQ9DVeKTK3hHFqYSDz31iIMpK-K4tQp9oeF7GRD5_d8HkvHZ6qnncVqJs7nOHXYzvfNRadze8dg5DCxmKGMcKow/s1600-h/South+Caroline+and+August+2009+012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379942679408453106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVYpjQHPUtzfBE7IaVE3TAPTV4RaPZNWCy_jesftMOqmnlB-4WIUTSoQ9DVeKTK3hHFqYSDz31iIMpK-K4tQp9oeF7GRD5_d8HkvHZ6qnncVqJs7nOHXYzvfNRadze8dg5DCxmKGMcKow/s400/South+Caroline+and+August+2009+012.jpg" border="0" /></a> Eli: Grayson, you want to play with me?
