We got another BIG GIVE package today THANK YOU!!!!!

Today's package was from Naomi (dis name Canyon Girl) and her family. Where do you all come up with these great ideas??

Sierra is working hard to get the box open. She was in a hurry

Blue wraping her favorite color

Tylers favorite color Dis Green

Sierra got a Tinkerbell backpack for her things! In it was a note pad, a pencil and some jolly rancher lip balm. She loves it!!

Tyler got a whale backpack perfect for SeaWorld!Some Hershey Kiss lip balm which looks SOOO good lol, a pencil, a note pad and a game perfect for the flight

Here is mine and Tims goodies. This is just so cool! It's a survival kid I saw this on someone elses Big Give and loved it!
It has wipes to clean the plane and the kids
gum for the Take offs and landings
sunscreen
Nuts for protien to keep up with the kids
Glow sticks to be able to see the kids to keep up (Ty already tried to snatch them but it didnt work )
First aid kit and moleskin because we kept up
aleve for the pain after keeping up
highlighter for the wonderful highlights of our trip
and an awsome cooler bag to keep it all in

Ok now some funnies from this Big Give. I was across the street at my neighbors house talking in her driveway and the ups guy goes past our house and across the street. Those neighbors ALWAYS get UPS deliveries so we were wondering what they ordered this time lol Well the guy gets out of the truck and heads towards OUR driveway and I short of nothing chased him down yelling at him HELLO HELLO!! I think he thought I was some crazy woman! My neighber was laughing so hard at me.

After we opened the box Ty got out the newspaper and started reading them. On one of the pages it says something about a treasure hunt. He says MOMMY WE MISSED THE TREASURE HUNT!! NOW WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR! I told him um Ty that's not OUR state! lol. He said OOOHHHH.

Now we are headed over to my parent's house as we have some storms heading this way. Dh is at work so we go over there and ride them out.

I know how important family is so I am very happy that you are reunited with yours! Family really has a way of making hard times so much easier. I wouldn't have made it through some rough times without mine.

We're glad you guys got it ok! I'm so sorry to "upset" Tyler about the treasure hunt. I didn't even think about what was on the papers. Have a great trip!

I hope you guys stay safe from the storms! I grew up in tornado alley, so I can certainly empathize! Right before we moved from there, my kids got to know the bathtub intimately! Stay safe!

After packing my van full last night of 2 dogs, a cat, 2 kids, a baby gate, enough supplies for a few days for Ty and etc etc etc and heading to my parents it really didnt do much to which I am very thankful for. We sat outside on the porch until it got dark then headed in to play some cards. I won which is rare since mom and dad have been playing alot longer than me.

Then I brought it all right back home minus one (Sierra stayed with grandma and grandpa) and lucky for me Tim had just pulled in from work and helped me carry it all back in.

Glad the storm turned out to be nothing. We had a couple of sirens when we lived in DFW and it certainly got my adrenaline going!
Great BIG GIVE. I love the survival kit and the cool backpacks.

I have gotten better with storms but we have had some pretty nasty storms that have scared me pretty good. We also have a siren just down the road it is actually right across from my parents house. For some reason I dont want to be alone with the kids in the bigger storms. Probably because when Ty was little we went to a firework show and me Ty, Sierra my cousin and her grand daughter (Ty was 2 at the time) were caught up on a hill away from my husband and the rest of our family (we went for balloons) in a really bad storm. Came on really fast and tornado's were in the area and it was in another state. I had to carry Ty as he couldn't run and hold Sierra's hand and run and we finally met up with my family. They made us all leave the park so we had to drive to my aunts house. It was

We have had a rough road with dh's family but it is getting there. My sil and her family are actually coming over THIS weekend The kids are so excited to get to see their cousins. And we are looking forward to seeing them.

I wouldnt have made it through alot of things if it weren't for my parents and sister as well.

I cannot tell you how much this has helped our family. Instead of coming home and going and climbing in bed like Ty usually does he is asking if the mail came It is really making it all real. As a matter of fact I broke down and called the Wish Coordinator today asking if she by any chance had our flight information yet. I know she said she was busy till the end of April and I was going to hold off till next week but I couldnt wait And we have so much coming up here soon that I didnt want to miss her call anyways.

Here is my to do list:
Clean every room including the basement
Ty has pt and a pre-op this week
My hubbys' family will be over this weekend
Next week Monday help dh put insulation in the attic
Tues Ty has his cystoscopy(biting nails here!! This is the one with botox. He will be the third to get it at our hospital) Please say a prayer for us that everything goes well.
THe following week at the 45day mark We have a few apts and field trips and I will need to pack for the wedding then we are off to Tenn for my cousins wedding

Then we will be starting into June and apts the first 2 days of June, end of school parties, a 13th bday party for Sierra, Ty's sleep study

Wow these last two months are going to go fast!!!

We will be going to the Monterey(sp?) area. I think it is East of Nashville. Are you guys ok? Did you get any flooding? My cousin told me about the stadium and the big hotel there being flooded. We saw pictures of Cooters Place (from Dukes of Hazard) but he said there wasn't any damage thankfully. I hope you didnt have any flooding at your house.

I actually live quite close to the Opryland Hotel and Opry Mills Mall. We left on that Sunday night at 9:30 pm (me two big dogs and my 16 yr old son) with nothing but the clotehes on our back because the water was rising so QUICKLY...we spent the night in my office...did not know of any where we could go that would take the big dogs like ours...when I saw pictures of Opryland Hotel Monday afternoon, I almost got physically sick...I was not very hopeful that we would escape the water. We went back to the house about 7:30 Monday evening to find that we were extremely blessed...our house stayed dry. (We are litereally 5 houses away from major flooding! ) Things will not be back to normal in the area for quite a while. I am not a TN native, so I am not real sure where Monterey is...I will have to ask...It is a beautiful state though!
