The girls got to plant tomato plants last week and had a blast!!! They LOVE playing with garden tools in the dirt!

Houston Rodeo 2011

I took the kiddos to the rodeo a couple of weeks ago.... we had planned to go as a family, but Nathan went out of town for work on an unexpected trip, so off we went!!! have a great time and the girls were enthralled by it-- they loved the animals and games. I also let them get all dressed up for it!! So cute!

Stickers!!!

The other day after school, brily was playing the sticker bin.... which is fine.... we have like 250,00000000000 stickers.... so she really can't hurt much. She thought it would be fun to cover herself in stickers..... :) silly girl!

My Heart Feels Heavy...

 

My heart hurts, I cannot imagine what it feels like to be told that your daughter has brain cancer, then to watch her go through grueling treatments for an entire year, have a several clear scans, sing the "no more chemo" song and then suddenly on a routine scan the orginal cancer spots plus more are back. It makes you ask God WHY?? Why her, why now, why? why? why??  God is not a bad God. Everyone is put on this earth for a purpose and many people, who were sick, lost, dying have followed Kate's story and reformed their lives and now know Jesus and why he died on the Cross.... People who have never prayed are praying now, all because of Kate.  But as a parent, though her story is touching many, she is a daughter and a sister and a grand daughter. She has a future and her parents want to see her live it. 

I believe in Prayer. I believe God Listens and hears our hopes, and wishes and dreams and pleas. We had thousands praying for our daughter at one point and there needs to be hundreds of thousands praying for Kate.  He listened to our prayer.... He can heal Kate. Her parents need you to lift them up in prayer for strength and patience as they begin a whole new battle on a monster that is ravaging their baby. Close your eyes, hit your knees and PLEASE, please Please join me in praying for Kate. Please.

It's a Miracle.

I cannot believe ALL 4 kids are smiling. This is the first time EVER, that all 4 girls have been in a photo together, smiling!!!! Thank you lord! :)
