Thank You

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you who prayed for us this weekend, God is Lord of all, and is in the details! Everything should be worked out by tomorrow! Sorry to be so vague, but it is just a long, complicated story! It was truly awesome this weekend though to hand it all over to God, and He totally encompassed us with pure joy that could only come from Him!

Can you say Pray?

I have an unspoken prayer request, that I might not be able to share here, but please be in prayer for our family. We are all healthy, and nobody is hurt. But we definitely covet your prayers right now. God knows what's up! Thank you in advance my blogging friends!

Hot Beginning

Well, it is a new year, and we start and end those with a bang around here! The boys stayed the night with Nani, Mimi, and Umpa so that we could have a few friends over for an adult New Year's Eve. I talked to my mom around 10:30 this morning, and the boys were doing great! Well, about an hour later, I got a phone call that Dalton and my mom had collided while coming around a corner, and my mom was holding a cup of freshly made hot tea! Yep, catastrophe! The tea spilled all over Dalton, and he was burned pretty badly! He was screaming in the background and obviously in pain!

It didn't take us very long to make the 25 minute drive over there, and on the way we texted several of our friends and started the prayer chain. When we picked up D, we went straight to Care Now in Lake Worth. The minute they saw him, they sent us to Cook's Children's Hospital in downtown Ft Worth. They did slather him with some cream that made it feel better for our trip though.

This is where the prayer part kicks in...when we arrived at Care Now, Dalton was red on his entire right side down to his belly button with severe burns on his upper right chest, and red down most of the right side of his back! By the time (15 min later) we got to Cook's, it was half that size!!! You couldn't even tell where the lower part had been red at all!!!! Praise God!!!

While at Cook's, the Tylenol I had given Dalton when we picked him up must have really kicked in, because he was all happy and fine! The only bad part was when they had to clean the burned part and get the dead skin off. He did soooo good! I however was ready to scoop him up and run out the door! I felt so bad for him! The good news, is that it was just 1st and 2nd degree burns, nothing worse!

When we got done there, we made a quick trip home, and then lunch at Mooyah Burgers, and a trip to Academy for some new shoes for D (his old ones were falling apart-and we think they got left at Nani's house).

Please continue to pray for quick and painless healing, oh and for my Mom too-I know she feels really bad-although it was nobody's fault and accidents do happen!

Ok, so let's break down day 1 of 2010:

December Catch-Up

Ok, I posted I think 5 new posts tonight. So make sure you scroll ALL the way down to see them all! I think next year I am going to try to blog once a week (maybe)!

Mimi and Umpa's House

Here are the pics I promised from Christmas Day:
You won't see any of my mom, because she was quarantined to the back half of the house because she caught some kind of stomach bug! I was very sad she didn't get to see the boys open her presents...but they sure did love them!

I just love this look of his, it's almost like he's saying "Look how cute I am!"

Giving Mimi some luvin!

Umpa helping with the Ipod shuffle headphones (probably for the 10th time!)

Christmas Eve/Christmas Morning

Christmas Eve we went to candle light service at The Exchange, oh and by the way it was a blizzard outside "Literally!". We had to turn around and get my car instead of Jason's truck, because we were sliding all over the place! We made it LATE! After service, we made chili at home, and opened some presents, then we finished our What God Wants For Christmas nativity set, watched some Christmas shows on TV, then off to bed! Which by the way they (Dalton) took FOREVER to fall asleep!

When they awoke on Christmas morning, they had a blast! After that, we went to my Mimi's house for Christmas celebration there. I will post pics from their house later. We spent most of the day there with family and friends. The kids got way to much stuff as usual, but we are very grateful for everything we have been given!

Trying for that "postcard" picture

How we really are!

4 Already???????

Carson turned 4! I can't believe it! I mean he thinks he is 9 already, and acts like it too, but WOW!

We had by request of Carson, a Spiderman birthday party. (But with no Spiderman-if you know Carson, than you know he does not like people in costumes! LOL!) Our party consisted of Pin the Bad Guys, a silly string hunt for bad guys, and musical spidermans! The kids had a blast, and Carson got tons of presents!


Yummy Pizza!

Silly String was a hit!

No Peeking!
