Good morning!!  Here is a picture of Tyler in the mall shopping with us.  He looks so tiny in that  big stroller.  He did great the whole time.  We had a fun day yesterday.  We didn't get everything done but are getting close.  Jen and I are going to run a couple of errands today and hopefully finish up some more.  Santa Claus was at the mall already!  We didn't take pictures with him and Tyler yet.  We want to bring him back in a couple of weeks in his Christmas outfit and take one then.

Everything is so festive now.  Lots of beautiful decorations and fun Christmas music playing.  Really lifts your spirits and puts you in the holiday mood.  I loved it! 

Mike and I got a little decorating done last night.  Will do some each day until we are  finished.

I realized that I forgot to tell you some of the results to my tests that I had done on Friday.  All I know is my blood test results.  The white cells are back in normal range......Yay!!!!  My red cell count, hemoglobin and platelets are still low.  They are moving up.......just at an extreme snails pace.  Thanks for praying for me!  I know they will get better......it is just taking some time.

It was great seeing you yesterday Tammy Driscoll, Carmen Canalez and Kristi Pacheco!  So happy that you got to meet Tyler!  So happy to see you too Mickey Dale and Karla Horne.   Sorry we didn't have Tyler with us then.

Teri Sulli.....I will try to call you this week sometime.  Mary Jo.....I will try to call you too!

Have an awesome day everyone!  Today is another gift from God and He is so Good!!  Thank you God for your unconditional love.

What was the last thing you baked in your oven?  We just baked a berry cobbler.

Good Monday morning!!  How was your weekend?  I had a wonderful weekend.  My San Diego Chargers won their game too!  WooHoo......we are in first place in the division for now. (sorry Stilwell)

Today I am starting Christmas stuff.  Mike is off today so I have wrangled him into going shopping with Jenna, Tyler and I.  He is great for being the extra set of hands we need for the baby and for holding bags. :)  Then Mike is going to start dragging out all of our Christmas boxes and stuff from outside so I can start decorating for Christmas this week.  No.....I am not waiting until after Thanksgiving this year because Mike has to work all this weekend and I need his help in hauling boxes into the house this year.  I like to enjoy the Christmas season for as long as I can.  It is by far my favorite holiday!!!  Christmas music will be playing in my house this evening while I get started on it.  I am so excited!  I am like a little kid during the Christmas holiday.  Having Tyler here this Christmas is just about the best gift ever.  I told Jenna and Ryan to just put a bow on top of his head and hand him to me Christmas morning and that is the only gift I need.

Have a marvelous Monday everyone!  I will take a pic today of Tyler shopping and hopefully post it tomorrow.  Today is another precious gift from God and He is so Good!!  "Jesus is the reason for the season."

Only 3 more days left until Thanksgiving!!  Are you ready???

Good Sunday morning! 

I want to wish my sweet friend Randi Stilwell a very "Happy Birthday" today!!  Have a great day Randi!  Let me know when you want to take pictures.

The Chargers are playing the Broncos today.  I am of course a HUGE Charger fan and Randi is a HUGE Bronco fan.  It is a must win for the both of us.  We are tied for first in our division.  So as much as I want you to have a great birthday Randi........your team is going down!  :)  GO CHARGERS!!!!!!!  hee hee.  Yes.....I will have my cell phone with me so we can text during the game.

Kayla......it was great seeing you yesterday!

Well we are off to church pretty soon.  Have a super day everyone!  Today is another sweet gift from God and He is so Good!!!  Thank you God for fun and friends!

Lets hear a "WOOT" for the Chargers!!!!  :)

Good Saturday morning!!  I am already up and getting things done around the house.  I am going to Jenna's house in a little while to see my niece Kayla.  She is going to be taking pregancy pictures of my friend Lisa'a daughter Tanya and some pics of Tyler.    It will be fun and I learn from my niece more about taking good pictures everytime I watch her.

I am also the one in charge this year for the Thanksgiving family games.  Ooohhhhhh I have some good ones planned.  Will be totally hysterical.  Can't tell you more about it because my family reads the blog.  But I will have some great pictures to share with you all after Thanksgiving!  I need to go out and buy the stuff for that today too.

Thanks for praying for me during the tests yesterday.  I don't have the results yet but should by Monday.  Mike and I took Ryan, Jenna and Tyler out to dinner afterwards and laughing with them was the best thing I needed after the tests.  I feel great about them!  God is in control.

I want to wish a very "Happy Birthday " to my sweet friend Patty McDonald!  Have a super day Patty and a fun week off.  We will go out for your birthday soon!

Could you please pray for Carol "Gunga" Smith who had a double mastectomy yesterday.  Prayers for a quick recovery.  Also for my friend Peggy Severe's Dad.  He had a pace maker put in yesterday.  Also that my Aunt Evelyn's house will sell in Colorado.  Prayer also for those who are traveling for Thanksgiving......that they get to where they are going safely.  One more thing too.....prayers for comfort for the Margaret Carroll Family.  She passed away this week.  She was one talented lady musically and very much loved by our church.

Have a super Saturday everyone!!!!  Relax and have some fun!  Today is another precious gift from God and He is so Good!!!

Have you ever deep fried a turkey or BBQ one?????  Yes we did both and both are great.  But I still like the oven baked ones too.

Good morning!!  It is Friday !!  Yay!!!  After today I have a week off from work.  Looking forward to enjoying some relaxing time off. (Is this the same girl that was climbing the walls to get back to work 6 weeks ago??)  Jenna and I already have plans to do our Christmas shopping.  I am about 3/4 of the way done on my shopping too.  I hope to finish it up next week.

Here is a picture of Poppi Mike and Tyler.  Tyler loves his Poppi and they just curl up together on our recliner and they both take a nap.  So cute.  Can you tell Mike is in love with this little guy??  :)

My beautiful niece Kayla is coming down this weekend to take pictures.  Can't wait to see you Kayla! 

Terrie Olstowski.....Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!  Have a great time in Texas with those grandbabies!

Shelly Osuna.......Thanks!  It is beautiful!  Have fun on your trip too!

Peggy Dale.........I am praying for your dad and whole family.  Have been for a while now.  Just let Mike and I know if you need help with anything and we will be there.

Thank you everyone for your prayers for me to get better.  Yep....it has turned into a cold.  I am going to be taking it easy.....I promise.  Thanks for the cold remedy suggestions!  I go into the hosptial this afternoon for more tests.  Please pray that my levels are looking better.

Have a fantastic day!!  Today is another gift from God and He is so Good!!  Thank you God for the love and kindness that we receive from people on a daily basis.

Lets count our blessings.  Please post one thing you are so thankful for.
