It's OVER..

I didn't think this day would get here but it finally did. Summer break is here... thank you Lord! Lauren's last day was the 20th but Hunter had to take 3 semester tests so he didn't get done till yesterday.

Today Lauren and I went to Benton to sell some clothes at Simon Says... love that store! If you leave close to there you really need to check them out. After we were done there we hit Old Navy. 50% off anything already on sale!! Man I love Old Navy. After that we went to Park Plaza and hit some stores there. Met up with a friend and her girls and shopped and then ate lunch. While the older girls were finishing eating we took the little ones to the candy store. OMG can you believe I paid $11 for M&M's!!! Never ever again will we go to that candy store!

Well I must run and feed the dogs. They are all barking letting me know it's dinner time lol. :)

Nate

Yesterday the 2nd and 3rd graders got to go to Chuck E Cheese's for their AR award trip. Mary, Jenny and I rode together and after we were done at Chuck E Cheese's we decided to take the kids by Arkansas Children's Hospital to see Nate. We had heard he was doing so well and when we walked in... he said hello to each of the kids and called them by their names. He still has a long road to travel to be back to his old self but he is doing awesome! We didn't get to stay long because he had to go to therapy but I am glad the kids got to see him in person. His mom said they are talking like he will be there about 4 more weeks. God is AWESOME!! I got this picture of them together... a few others stopped by to visit too. Keep praying for our little fighter Nate!

A night to remember

Yesterday was one of the best days I have ever had. 2 very good friends (Mary and Jenny) and I went to see Kenny Chesney in concert. We decided to leave around 11 am so we could hit the mall and eat before it started at 7:30. Mary's brother and wife went too and got a hotel room so around 5:00 we went to get ready. After we got dressed we were going to eat but as we drove by Alltel we decided we should go ahead and park so we did. Jenny is the best and made us shirts with KSSN (an awesome radio station giving away back stage passes and upgrades) on them. So we parked and found the KSSN truck and started looking for their people. When we found them they commented on our shirts and then gave us meet and greets for Miranda Lambert!!!! Holy cow we were on cloud nine! After we were done we waited around the meet and greet to see if we could get back to see Kenny. We couldn't get back to see him BUT we did get passes to the Sandbar which is next to the stage! We each got to touch his hand! After the concert was over we rolled through Burger King and came home. Here are some pictures of our night out... enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope each of you have a wonderful relaxing day. :)

I finally joined facebook so I could find out more on Nate. I pulled this info off there. Keep praying for this sweetie pie.

I may have..

lost my mind. If you have been reading older posts you know we have a dachshund named Lady Bug. She had puppies back in March. We have decided to keep the only girl that lived. So now we have 5 beagles and 2 dachshunds. Yes I am crazy... I know! I just couldn't sell her and Vince fell for her too and of course the kids wanted to keep all of them. Now we need names. We have Blue, Red, Grady, John, Henry and Lady Bug so what do y'all think? She's black and tan and she will be small. Please help us out. Lauren says Princess and Hunter says Honey (we had a black and tan named that when he was a baby) and I haven't a clue. I counting on y'all, please don't make me cry! :)

Update on Nate

I talked to someone last night that had talked to Nate's dad. The dad told her they were watching his brain injuries but they were going to start lessening the sedation to see how he handled it. They are focusing on his brain right now and will fix his pelvis later. Sorry for the break in updates but I haven't heard anything.

Please pray for his brain injuries, his doctors, the family, friends and for Brandon the truck driver.

Update on Nate

They found out Nate's pelvis is broken. He's been such a little fighter. He's still sedated and his vitals are still great. The swelling in his head hasn't gotten any worse. Let's keep those prayers going for this little guy and for Brandon.

The grandmother's funeral is this morning so keep the family in your thoughts.

Sorry I didn't update after school yesterday but I didn't hear anything till late last night. Unless something majorly changes I probably won't know anything until Monday. I do work again so I will run to the Elem. and check on him. Thank you all for helping through prayer. God is amazing.
