Christmas with my Dad's Family

Ok...I am finally getting around to sharing Christmas with y'all...you'll probably be sick of our Christmas by the time I finish all the posts so bare with me. On the Saturday before Christmas, we got together with my Dad's family at my Grandma and Grandaddy's in Sedley. Tucker was so very excited, he figured out at this gathering that he LOVED opening presents as you can tell in his overly excited expression above when he open the John Deere tractor that my Dad gave him. He calls my Dad Grandaddy just like Whitney and I call his Dad Grandaddy.

Tucker was excited about each and every gift NO matter what it was...even the clothes he received.

My cousin Ashley, her boyfriend Ryan, and Ashley's Dad...my Uncle Jerry.

Tucker had to try on the hat that he received...he was so funny!

My Grandaddy Allen.

Ashley gave Tucker a play grill that really had lighted flames...he kept going and getting chicken drummettes off the table and cooking them! It was hilarious!

My Aunt Cathy with her granddaughter Gabriel.

Charlie and Tucker try out Grandma's motorized scooter...it's always a favorite play toy every time we visit...LOL...that thing flies!

2009 Contract

I received this on an email and thought it was cute so thought I'd post...I still have not yet had time to post all my Christmas happenings...still hoping this week that I will get back on track with my blogging!


After serious & cautious consideration . . .
Your contract of friendship has been renewed for the New Year 2009!
It was a very hard decision to make. So try not to screw it up!!!
My Wish for You in 2009
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.
May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!
May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.
May the problems you had forget your home address!

In simple words . . . May 2009 be the best year of your life!!!


AND HAVE A VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR AS WELL

Needed Prayers

Awhile back I posted about my Uncle Earl Wayne in Richmond (my Mom's brother) who has cancer, we saw him almost 2 weeks ago for Christmas and he was doing great BUT things have changed and our family needs many prayers. We got a call y'day that Tuesday night he woke up in the middle of the night throwing up blood so the ambulance came to take him to the hospital...he had lost so much blood that he was unable to get himself up out of the bed when the paramedics got there to transport him. He has been admitted and has since then quit breathing on his own so he is on the vent. As of last night, they told us that he would be on the vent for a couple of days at least and that they were trying to get his blood pressure back up since it was WAY low. My Aunt Judy is meeting with the doctor's this morning to try and find out more about what is actually going on so please send some prayers their way that things will look up for them and give them the strength to get through this.

Happy New Year to everyone...I will try to catch up on my posting soon I hope if I can stay out of the road...I am spending today with one of my good friends that I don't get to see much...I'm so excited!

BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!

Kevin and I just received the BEST Christmas Present ever...the doctor's office called not long ago to let us know that Kevin's blood work results came back negative so we have NOTHING to worry about as far as the Cystic Fibrosis! I feel so much relief...thank you all for your prayers, they work every time! All we have to do is trust and believe and leave it up to the one above to pull you through. Merry Christmas to ALL of you!

Happy 33rd Birthday to my Hubbie!

Happy Birthday to my hubbie, Kevin! We celebrated on Friday night since we had so much planned for the weekend! Last night, we had Christmas with my Dad's side of the family and today we are heading to Richmond for a Christmas get together with my Mom's siblings. Kevin's always a good sport for his bday since it's so close to Christmas. I will post more pics from the weekend get-togethers later. I Love You hubbie!

Excited!

I am very excited to tell y'all fellow bloggers that I have less than an hour here at the work place and I will be off 'til January 5th! I couldn't be MORE excited!

Kevin and I are headed to Suffolk to get his blood work done when I get off and then we'll try and get a bit more shopping done hopefully! Please say a prayer for us. I appreciate all of you thinking of us and praying for us. It means so much to have friends to uplift you.

Out to eat for his bday tonight (it's really on Sunday) since we have so much going on the weekend! We have Christmas with my Dad's side of the family on Saturday night and then Christmas in Richmond with my Mom's side of the family on Sunday. Then of course we do immediate family on Christmas Day.

I'll be in touch while I'm off and hope to give an update early next week on the blood work results!

Have a great weekend:-)
