Update

Well, We still have no news to report. We are quite frustrated. After being told we would hear something Monday night, but they would just be "preliminary" results and not the final diagnosis, we did not hear anything at all. We waited all day Tuesday, and were told we would definitely hear something~ but we didn't. Then, I called the doctors office and asked the nurse what was going on, and she said " I checked those results last night at midnight and they have sent them off, and it will be at least another week to hear back from them." Scott is not happy! I'm sure I will need to update with more information as soon as he calls me back.

Say a Prayer Please!

Mrs. Horne got some news that has us all on edge. Please say a prayer that everything will be fine for her. She has some "masses" in her abdomen. They are going to biopsy them on Monday. Please pray for good results. I will update as soon as we have some news. Thanks to everyone in advance.

Busy Weekend!

Okay~ Lots to post. Grant had some teeth filled due to cavities. He was put to sleep for the procedure. They told him that they were going to let him blow up a balloon that tasted like bubble gum. Okay, so after everything was over, Grant gave us the details.

He said "Momma, it was awful. They put this plunger on my face, and it did not taste like bubble gum." He told Scott that they tried to convince him that Mickey Mouse was back there, but he knew there was no "stinkin' mickie mouse".

This is where it gets CRAZY. Grant says that he got off of the table and ran as fast as he could to where we were. He said a fat doctor was chasing him, and that fat doctor could run fast. He said they caught him~ and it was AWFUL!

I hope him made all of this up. The pictures below depict his account of the situation. He told us all about it. I so hope he dreamed this.

Moving on~ Reagan seems to like the bonnet, but I am still searching for just the right easter bonnet. This one is awful. She enjoys a quick sink bath and doesn't even mind water in her face. Don't worry. The suction bulb she is playing with is STERILE! I just opened it!

Scott enjoyed time with the family. Playing basketball and bringing over a swing set Cameron gave to Grant since he was too big for it. It just needed a little cleaning up, so Grant did so, WITH HIS CLOTHES HE HAD ON!

Scott celebrated his birthday Friday. He got a recliner. You can see how he is enjoying it below.

Lots of fun!

My 5 Favorite Things about GRANT

OKAY~ It is so hard to believe that my "baby" is 5! I don't even want to think about him starting kindergarten. He seems to small. They are in for a real treat. So, I thought I would list 5 of my favorite things about my "little man". I could go on and on, but I will try to limit it to only 5.

#5: I love the way he never walks anywhere, he SKIPS. He has always done this. He learned to skip at such a young age. Scott was amazed. I did not even realize it was a big deal until Scott said some of his athletes could not even skip!
#4: Although it is somewhat aggravating, I love how Grant's mind is constantly in motion. When we are talking to Grant, it takes all of his energy to stay focused and not interrupt. He can't wait for his turn to talk. He has so much to say! My little genius! He really is so smart. He loves National Geographic~ and especially DINOSAURS. He says he is going to be a paleontologist when he "GETS BIG".
#3: GRANT'S SPEECH PROBLEM~ Okay, though some may not think it is funny, I love when Grant says words that he knows are wrong. He will offer an alternate word to make sure we know what he is talking about. For example, if Grant is good at school, he gets a treat from Ms. Kim. She gives them "Smarties". Grant can't say "Smarties". He says "FARTIES". So, he has changed the word himself and he says "SWEET TARTS". He does this for several things. This is just one example. So funny!
#2: Watching Grant become a big brother~ I especially like to watch the two of my angels playing when they don't know I am watching. Grant talks to her so sweetly. I love to watch him become a new little person. He has done so good adjusting to sharing his parents. Not one single sign of jealousy from him. He always says that she is his baby because he prayed for her and God and Uncle Todd sent Reagan to him.
#1: GRANT'S LAUGH~Not only do I love his little laugh, everyone comments on it. It is contagious. It is a down deep, genuine, from the heart laugh. When he laughs in public, people stop and join in. He brightens my day~ EVERY DAY!!!!!

I LOVE YOU GRANT!!!!!!

SPRING BREAK FUN!!!

We had a fun filled break from school. Alyssa came and spent the entire week with us. We love when she comes, but we hate when she goes! Grant woke up this morning and Alyssa was on her way home. Grant called her and said "Alyssa where are you?" Reagan had began calling her MOMMA~ I was not real happy about that! Colby and Scott continue to aggravate each other, and all of us. An indoor camping adventure took place, and I did some redecorating. I love to be home with my family. I'm looking forward to summer break.

Birthday Party and a Baby Bjorn

Grant had his party at school Friday. It was a lot of fun. We had a huge inflatable, and all of his school friends celebrated the big day with us. Thanks to everyone that came for Grant's big day. We had some trouble getting the candles lit since we were outside. That is what the cotton candy with candles in it is all about. Grant wanted to blow out candles once we got home. Our little princess can go from one mood to another in 5 seconds flat. All she has to do is realize no one is holding her. As for the baby bjorn, Grant has been dying to hold Reagan and walk. He brought this to me and asked if he could use it. Scott was in arms reach~ DON'T PANIC! He thinks he is so big now that he is 5! He expects another party on his "REAL BIRTHDAY" March 23rd. He is in for a big surprise~ and I don't mean a party people. He may have the same expression Reagan has in her photo! :)

Sharing a little snack~ Like it or not!!!!!

What is Grant up to these days?

Grant is busy being the best big brother possible. He loves to teach Reagan everything he learns at school each day. He always says " I didn't do anything to her Mommy" when she cries. He does not like to hear her cry. He is so gentle with her. When I tell Reagan " Reagan, you stop lovin' that brother so much, you are my little girl." Grant will say "No she's not Mommy, I prayed for her and Uncle Todd sent her to me." My children are such a blessing.

What is Reagan up to now?

Reagan loves to smile BIG for the camera. She is always sooooo happy. I took a picture of her curls so you can see that she does have hair, it is just all in the back. She likes her Jenny jumper, as long as it is hanging so she can be outside. This is what Reagan is up to these days. Oh, and her favorite new things are playing with the remote control, and making me run to take cords from the lamps/computer/etc. from her. She laughs so loud watching me run and telling her no. I think she thinks it is a game.

Birthday Boy

To all of our blog readers: You are invited to Grant's 5th birthday party. It will be at Grant's school~ Evergreen Presbyterian on Friday March the 12th. We will have a big inflatable, popcorn, and cotton candy. It will begin at 3:00 on the back playground. It will last until school closes at 5:30. We look forward to seeing all of you!

These are just a few new pictures for the day. Reagan loves MeMe Honey to hold her because she lets her play with her earrings. Grandmothers let them get away with anything. Then, the other photos are from this morning. As you can tell, Reagan is already weight conscious :) Grant and I have so much fun on the way to school. We sing and laugh the whole way there. It is one of my favorite times of the day. On the other hand, Daddy taking Reagan to Nana's house is always sad! We would love to all stay home together EVERY DAY!!!! Grant's first question of the day is always "MOMMA, IS TODAY A STAY HOME DAY?"

Family Fun

We had a fun afternoon at Jake and Presley's house. Reagan only gets to watch from inside. It is still a little too cool outside for her. Her brother(s), sister(Presley), and cousins love her!!!! They all claim her as their sister. It makes Grant so angry. He always makes me tell him that he is her only REAL brother~ RIGHT MOMMA? I love my life!!!!!! I wish that was my biggest worry. The love they show each other is so special. Leah and Jay Austin are great with her as well. Cameron maintains that he is Reagan's favorite. Presley likes to be the little mother, and I do mean LITTLE. Reagan weighs almost as much as she does. I have a feeling that Presley and Reagan will mirror Jackie and I. I was always the "BIGGER- but younger" sister.

Good Morning!!!!

Grant and Reagan are so different when they wake up! Reagan is all smiles, and Grant is the total opposite! I had to make him smile when I was waking him up. He loves his sleep!
