Pokie Moutains

Whoo Hoo! Dwayne officially has Saturdays off! So what did we do? We took a weekend trip to the smokies.
Despite Alayna was still recovering from surgery, we still had a great time. Actually, Alayna's best days were Friday and Saturday so we did get to go out and do a lot of things.
We didn't do much dining in due to Alayna's drooling problem because we didn't want to ruin anyone else meal.
I am sure we got a few weird looks when she was carrying her spit cup everywhere we went-shopping, tram to Gatlinburg, dixie stampede. ( bless her heart, she could'nt help it)
The best part was taking the girls to the Dixie Stampede. They absolutely loved it. Especially, Aubree. We couldn't get her to eat for 30 min. because her eyes were glued to what all was going on. She finally decided to eat and loved that whole chicken. It didn't bother her that it still had everything minus a head and guts.

She told everyone bout them horses that done tricks and going to the pokie moutains.

After surgery

These pics are before surgery and she was feeling real gooood! She was cracking us up!

She don't remember any of these pics.

First, Thank you all for the comments, texts, and phone calls that we have received. I love and appreciate them all. It is so nice to have people who truly love me and my family.

Alayna did so good. She was in and out of surgery within 30 min. She did cry on and off for a while afterwards but now that we are home she feels much better.

Our prayers were answered and we are so thankful!

Surgery

We take Alayna tomorrow morning to get her tonsils and adenoids taken out and tubes put in her ears. Say a prayer for her especially and one for me too! I don't get nervous about stuff like this, if it is me. I have found out when its your kids you tend to worry a lot more! I am a little nervous but I know she will be fine.

We just made a trip to the store to get ice cream and Popsicle's. So far it has been fun for her.
When we talk about surgery and going to the hospital, she thinks it is cool and gets all giggly.
I am sure the giggling will be gone tomorrow. This is her first time in the hospital so she thinks its gonna be fun. I am not about to tell her, she can find out for herself.

Through it All

Need a good come to Jesus meeting????



I urge you to take 5 minutes out of your busy busy day and listen and watch this video.

Dwayne came across it yesterday on youtube and told me to listen to it and I have not been able to get it off my mind since.



It is amazing how God works. HE IS SUCH A ON TIME GOD!!!!



We had a wonderful- heartfelt church service yesterday and this song was just the confirmation that God was in our midst and working in our lives and HE knew exactly what was to come for the rest of the day.





May this song bless you as much as it has me!!!

The first song you all probably know. I need thee every hour.

The last song is so simple and true and is called Through it all!

This was the night of Alayna's sleepover and I let the girls put makeup on me. So the black and white is for a reason. (to cover up the hidious makeover)
