Needing some prayers.....

My uncle (my mom's brother) is in Stage 4 lung cancer and has now had hospice called in.  It's not looking good at all and I could use a huge round of prayers sent to him.  He's a wonderful uncle, father, grandfather, husband, brother and I will miss him dearly if he leaves this earth.  So please, pray for everyone to be strong and pray for him to find peace in the end.  I pray for his family to find comfort when they can and are able to.  I love my uncle and will never forget the times I spent with him.  Diamond in the rough....but an ornery one at that.

Looking towards the future....

We had such a gorgeous day on Monday that Palmer went and shot his shotgun and Hadley ran around and swung on her swing and went down her slide.  I think we are going to get her a sandbox....she loves to get dirty, much like myself when I was little.  I was just a little dirtball!  Now, I really don't want to have to hose her off but you gotta do what you gotta do right?  Now it's rainy and suppose to snow tonight.  Luckily it won't stick but we are still suppose to have some nasty cooler weather.  I miss Monday already (never thought I would say that about a Monday!)

Here is a picture of Hadley on that beautiful day of fun "outsideyness"

On another note, I got my tatoo!!  I didn't feel a thing really.  It's kind of bruised but really does add to the looks of a new breast.  They DEFINITELY are fraternal twins now....they don't look anything alike, but at least I am here to tell you that.

HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter to everyone!   Here is a picture of Palmer and Hadley and their cousins:  Alivia, Kienzle, Carlie and Carl Hoodjer.  They are all so cute.  I didn't get to go to Grandma Sandy's Easter hunt....I have it bad in my lower back right now.  I picked up Hadley and my legs about buckled.  It really is a bitch getting old!!!  So right now I smell like Ben Gay and have taken my Aleve.  Hopefully it feels better soon.  I made it to work (of course) and have been sitting here hunched over at my desk.   I am probably going to have to do some stretching when I get home.  Yuck.

Hadley and Palmer got a lot of candy this season.  I am going to have to ration it as Hadley, like her mama, would eat chocolate all day.  I asked Palmer what the meaning of Easter was he he said it was the day Jesus rose from the dead to protect us from our sins.  I will accept that answer!

Palmer started trapshooting and he loves it!! He shot 13 of 25 --- twice!!  So I was pretty proud of him for his 1st time....photos to come!!
