Hives!

All the sudden Addison broke out in blotchy spots!!  We found out that she is allergic to amoxacilian! Poor girl!  She had just finished the antibiotic for an ear infection and then she ended up with spots.

Christmas 2010

In sticking with tradition, we took a picture of the kids for our Christmas cards.  This year proved to be a bit difficult -- they did not want to hold still!!  Here's a few of our attempts..... 



Derrick totally surprised me and got me a Cricut Expression for Christmas! He kept it a secret the whole time and conspired with his family!! YAY! Thanks Honey!

The Family!

I just love this cartoon! It makes me smile everytime I see it.  If you haven't checked out Cathy Thorne's cartoons, you defintiely should! Her website is www.everydaypeoplecartoons.com -- they are guaranteed to make you smile!

Blessed

I have been blessed

And I feel like I’ve found my way
I thank God for all I’ve been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones
That love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed
 - Martina McBride "Blessed"

Veteran's Day!

A BIG thank you to past, present, and future veterans! Thank you for keeping the United States safe and free.  Home of free, because of the brave!

Happy 4th of July
