Good morning!! How is everyone today?  I love celebrating "Birth Month"!!  Got a chance to go out with some friends last night for dinner and had a really good time.  Nothing like spending an evening with friends eating, laughing and sharing great stories. And of course the best part.....having a fabulous birthday dessert!

Can you believe that it is time again for another MRI brain scan?  When I had my last one in December, March seemed so far away for my next one.  Time went by so fast.  My MRI is scheduled for Monday, March 22nd.  I don't know when my appointment will be yet with the neurosurgeon for the results but should know today or tomorow.  Could you all keep this upcoming test for me in your prayers?  I so appreciate that very much!

Mike and I are going back up to San Diego this evening to spend the night before we head back up to Hoag Hosptial tomorrow morning for my next melanoma vaccine.  Will be back home sometime Wednesday evening.  I will give you an update when we get back.  Thanks for keeping this in your prayers too.  The week in between shots seems to be flying by too.

I have to throw a couple of pictures in here of Tyler taking a bath.  I knew you would love these mom!  Tyler loves bath time!!  The other picture is of Ryan giving Tyler his bath.  What a cute family!  :)  Ryan is a very hands on Dad.  He helps Jenna a lot.  Love it!

Things that made me smile yesterday.....one of the kids at school proudly showing me his new shoes, seeing a friend open a present and a very sweet text message from my hubby.  What made you smile today?

Have a terrific day everyone!!  Today is another gift from God and He is so Good!!  Thank you God for encouragement.

What did you collect as a kid??

Good Monday morning!!  How was your weekend?  Our weekend was good, relaxing and productive.  I was able to get caught up on a bunch of things around the house on Saturday and Mike and I did our taxes.  So glad that is done and over with.  Such a chore!  We also went to a birthday party on Saturday evening for little Kiana and Kaitlin Tucker.  They turned two and looked so cute in their little butterfly outfits!  So great to see and visit with friends that I haven't seen in a while.

If you don't live in the Imperial Valley it rained all day long on Sunday.  I was able to get cozy with a cup of coffee and do some scrapbooking.  Monica didn't get to come visit though.  We were both worried about her traveling in the mountains to get here.  Oh well.....she is coming for my birthday!  We went to Ryan and Jenna's for dinner and ate some Greek food and watched the Amazing Race.  We get together every Sunday night to watch that show.  Anyone else like it?  Mike and Jenna want to do that show together.  That would be fun!

When my sister went to the Olympics she brought us back some great souveniers.  Here are some ski hats that she brought back and I took a picture of Jenna and Tyler in them.  Aren't they so cute??

I want to wish my friend Stacey Jensen a very "Happy Birthday" today!!  Hope you have an awesome day today Stacey!!  I know so many people born in March!!  Great Month!!  :)

Things that made me smile this weekend.....the rain, holding Tyler, looking at some old pictures and reading some cards that I received in the mail.  What made you smile today?

Have a marvelous day everyone!  Today is another gift from God and He is so Good!  Thank you God for a wonderful job to go to every morning!

What time do you go to bed at night???

Good Saturday morning!!  How is your day going?  I would like to wish my sister-in-law Tina a very "Happy Birthday" today.  Here is Tyler wishing you Happy Birthday too.  Also "Happy Birthday" to my friend Amy Balzer!  I hope you both have a super fun day today!!!

This morning isn't going to be much fun for Mike and I.  We have to do our "taxes" today.  Yuck!  But we are both off of work today and so it is the best time to get them done.  We have put off doing them long enough.  We have a birthday party to go to later today so that is something fun to look forward to. Of course seeing my sweet Tyler there too.  Tomorrow my sister is coming for a visit.  Looking forward to that too!

I want to thank you all again for continually keeping me in your prayers.  I am faithfully praying for you too.  If there is anything new you need prayer for just let me know. Wonderful things happen in my life, not only because I was being prayed for but also because I was praying for others.  leslie@mgilbert.net

Some things that made me smile yesterday was seeing our school librarian Stacey dressed up as Dr. Seuss and the kids loving it, reading to the kids at school, seeing a picture of a friend of mine's daughter smelling flowers and hearing a favorite song of mine on the radio.  What made you smile?

Have a fantabulous weekend everyone!!  Won't be blogging again until Monday.  Today is another gift from God and He is so Good!  Thank you God for your understanding and grace.

Have you done your taxes yet???  What are you up to this weekend???

Good morning!!  It is Friday!  Woot!  I felt good all day yesterday.....looks like my body is doing just fine with the melanoma vaccine.  Now if we could all just pray that this vaccine works for me.....and not just only me but for others that are doing it right now and for all the future people that will be affected by melanoma. 

Today at school we are celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday.  Everyone is suppose to wear a tie to school and we are reading Dr. Seuss books to the kids in the afternoon.  I love these books.  I got the whole hardback cover Dr. Seuss collection when my kids were little and I kept them all this time for future grandkids.  So Tyler will have a lot of books to read when he comes to Poppi and Nanie's house.  I am already instilling the love of reading to Tyler.  Take a look at this pic I took yesterday.  He loves his little books!  Which Dr. Seuss book is your favorite? 

 I would like to wish my friend Amy Brinnon a very "Happy Birthday" today!  Have a fun day today Amy!!  March is a great birth month isn't it?  :)

A couple of things that made me smile yesterday.....coffee in the morning with my friends before school starts, lunch time with my friends and watching Jenna feed Tyler.  What made you smile today?

Have a fantastic day everyone!!  Today is another gift from God and He is so Good!!  Thank you God for giving hearts.

Does anyone like to make breakfast for dinner???

Good morning!!!  First and foremost I want to wish my Mom and Dad a very "Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary" today!!  Here is a picture of your great-grandson wishing you a wonderful day too!

 In case you missed my update yesterday afternoon, everything went really well yesterday at Hoag.  No reaction so far.....so I am good to go again for next Wednesday's shot.  The hardest part is the drive to New Port Beach and back.  Makes it a VERY long day.  Mike always makes the drive fun though.  Yesterday we stopped at the beach on the way home and fed the seagulls and some squirrels bits of apple that my sister packed for me to eat!  Ha....they loved the snack Monica!  I love the ocean.  So beautiful and relaxing!!  God is good and we are all very blessed.

My sister made the best homemade buttermilk pancakes yesterday for us.  And yep.....she had plenty of bacon for me too!  :)  Thanks Monica for being such an awesome host and spoiling me!

Thank you all for being such wonderful prayer warriors.....not only for me but for so many others!

I have to say that I have been surprised daily for "Birth Month".  I am having so much fun with this!  It may not be commented on the blog but I am getting told by so many people what made them smile today.  Love hearing it......some of it really cracks me up too and it totally makes my day.  Some things that made me smile yesterday was looking the the ocean, feeding the animals,  and my kids.

Have a great day everyone!!  Today is another gift from God and He is so Good!  Thank you God for all of the beauty that you put on this earth for us.

What made you smile today?
