Hope, Prayers, and Love!


My friend Candice has a beautiful daughter, Savannah Grace Evans. Savannah is seven years old and she has been diagnosed with a rare brain tumor called Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma. She had surgery and they were able to remove 80% of the tumor. Please visit her website by clicking HERE. Her family is looking for any help, prayers and answers. Please spread the love and include her in your prayers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARRETT!


Our little guy is one today! Garrett Bud Thomas was born March 27th some time in the evening, I think around 7:40ish... sad that I can't remember. He was named after Jake's Great Uncle Bud. I remember him being a wild firecracker in my tummy and he hasn't stopped yet. He definitely keeps us on our toes. He is sooo busy and into everything all the time, if I take my eyes off of him for a half second he is either hurt, climbing on something, or getting into the dog food or anything else that makes a mess or is dangerous. Poor Kid has the most energy and the shortest attention span I have ever seen. He moves from one object to the next in a split second. Although he is the wildest baby on the planet, I love him more than anything and he makes me smile every day! He is so happy and smiley most of the time and he thinks he is so funny - which he is... and we love him SO much. Happy Birthday little guy... we think you are fantastic and we LOVE having you around! But, we also love that you go to bed at 7:00 each night and don't wake up til the morning. Yay!
We are celebrating twice this year... Garrett's first party is on Saturday with my family and the second one is on Sunday with Jake's family.

Edward Cullen.... Watch out!

You've got some COMPETITION!

We seem to have a little vampire of our own! Isn't that the best smile... I love that his fangs came in before his front teeth.

Homeless!

Well, we are officially homeless and living with my parents once again... I actually really like it here but I am anxious to make a decision about what we are going to do. I really want to build again but who knows. I do know that whatever we decide... we are not moving again for a very long time.

Gracie and Garrett both love living with Grandma and Grandpa. Gracie wakes up every morning and goes straight to their bed, they hot tub together and plant stuff for the garden... it is sooo cute. Garrett is learning to go down the stairs backwards to prevent the falls... Grandma is working with him all the time. But, he did fall off the rocking horse the other day and hurt something on his foot... he wouldn't walk for a few hours. Sad!

We also joined the gym and are working really hard to get "healthy" for summer. Gracie told Lauren the other day that fat people are not healthy and skinny people are healthy. I wonder where they get that. Too funny! I guess I better be a bit more careful when I tell her why I work out. Today while I was at the gym I got called over the loud speaker to the child care center. When I got there in a panic, Garrett was bawling for no reason and would not stop. As soon as I picked him up all was well. I am soooo happy that I have a mama's boy!

That is all for now folks... just a quick update on the happenings with us.
