We need your prayers...

Today my younger brother, Billy, was diagnosed with melanoma. He is 24 years old and has skin cancer....wow....that doesn't even look right reading it. My little brother who can do anything from a back flip on his first try to snowboarding down a steep mountain in nothing but his holey jeans and fleece has skin cancer. Cancer is not prejudiced to anyone...it doesn't care if you're white, black, yellow, red...it doesn't care if you're male or female....young or old. It can affect a young child, a new mother, a former Olympian athlete...it doesn't care. Damn!!!!! I hate cancer!!!!! Why does this have to happen?!!! Obviously I'm upset, but what really matters are your prayers. I'm asking for everyone who reads this or hears about this to please....please....say your prayers for Billy and anyone else out there who has cancer. I'm begging you!!!

I don't have all the specifics of Billy's diagnosis because they have yet to stage the cancer. I'm praying for Stage I, because it's the best case scenario. Anyhow, please keep him in your prayers. I would really appreciate it. :)

The boys

Nate had his first sleepover last week with his cousins, Jacob and Parker. It was sooooo much fun!!!!! They played hard and this was the final result!!!! Jacob passed out the second his head hit the pillow while Nate and Parker chatted for a few. I walked in there after about 10 minutes of them talking and I noticed that Nate was talking to a passed out Parker. LOL!!! Well Nate threw in the towel about 5 minutes later. :) Yah!!!!

Aren't they so cute?! I love these boys!!! :)

PYT

Here's some pictures of my little PYT (Pretty Young Thing). PYT is a little shout out to the late Michael Jackson....may he rest in peace. :) Anyhow, back to my PYT....Leah! She loves playing with toys...especially her girly toys! The play purse has been a hit in our house. Leah and Eden enjoyed playing with all the accesories. Even Baby Eden insisted on wearing the bracelet. She's such a girly girl...too cute. I wish I'd gotten pictures of Eden rockin the pink bracelet. :)

Putting on lipstick!

Way behind.....

I apologize to those who read my blog because I'm on a serious lag at the moment. I can say that I will be posting some awesome pics soon....pictures of the kids of course. Nate had a sleep over with his cousins Jacob and Parker, so I went crazy with the camera while they were sleeping. Sooooo cute!!!!! Anyhow, I do apologize, but I will be back on track by next week. :)

More pics...

See we're really not all that scary looking.

Annual Beach Reunion

Every year Ty's mother side of the family has an annual beach reunion. The vacation consists of good times, great food, and the best of company! Lots of pool time, beach time, card playing, and tons of eating!!!!! We had a blast, but of course it was waaaaaay to short! Anyhow, I didn't bust out the camera till basically the last night and this is what the festivites consisted of.....

UGLY FACES

"Bitter Beer Face"

Keep in mind that I think that Ty and Jessica are extremely attractive, so how are they so good at their "ugly" faces?!

"Squidward"


As you can see....we are looking hot as usual. Kidding aside...our beach reunion was soooo much fun and I'm looking forward to our next gathering.

P.S. If you really want a good look at these pictures...click on the picture to view it in full size. I must say that my "bitter beer face" is a talent. Much to Ty's dismay!

Blogging lull

This summer has got us going here there and everywhere. I can't remember the last weekend that we stayed home at our house. We've either been in Niceville, Navarre, or the beach for our annual beach reunion. All this running around has kept us from getting a lot of stuff done around the house. The list continues to grow, which brings me to my blogging lull. I haven't been around the computer longer than 5 minutes for at least the last week. Crazy because I consider the computer to be one of my best friends. :) Pathetic I know!!!! Anyhow, here's the lastest picture of Leah. She's all smiles in this one...
