Idle Hands

(top) The one the neighbor requested (bottom) My Angel Baby Blanket

I wanted to share the newest blanket I've made. I started this when I found out I was pregnant, and honestly couldnt even look at it after the miscarriage. I picked it up again, and here is the finished product!...(I am kinda proud of it,.. it was by far the most complicated pattern I had tried yet). I realy enjoy this as my hobby, and have sold two of them so far :-)) Ive come to appreciate the distraction from idle hands......I am now 30 hours into my ........wait for it........Nicotine detox! I have struggled with being a smoker for a very long time, and never seemed to have the willpower to just kick the habit. Up to 90% of the nicotine should be gone within 72 hours total.......42 left to go!

What do you get when you take half a Dewalt case, two filing cabinent drawers, and add a bored husband? (who wants a smoker)

A new limited edition Dewalt Smoker!!!!!!!!

It has been a little over two months without a post...so here I am playing catch up. We spent the holidays discovering our childrens love for skating :-)....and goof time with mommy and daddy. Daddy did join Kailee on her new dance pad, lol....and "showed" the kids how to "gracefully" fall on skates. All in all it was a great time. Aaron is doing so well in school,...and will graduate at the end of the summer. We are all so proud of him for getting 100% on his final!!!! Kailee and Kody are gearing up for summer with mommy,...and keep asking me when another sibling will be added. Or as Kody puts it..."when is God putting the baby back",..lol.....They are truly my greatest blessings....and biggest challenges :-)) I will try to post pictures soon!!

Angel Baby

I lost our baby tonight.....I would imagine the lord needed it more than we did....Im sorry this is such a short post.....I will try to write more when I can accept this all a little better.

Happy Turkey Day!!!

In light of the upcoming holiday and what it stands for.....I knew I was past due for a post about our last few weeks. I have had some complications already in my pregnancy. Since I had surgery on my tubes...I am a higher risk for ectopic. In the multiple ultrasounds, one found something worrisome. A mass measuring roughly 2 cm was found outside my left ovary. My doctor...who I have seen but one time.....was in quite the rush to tell me to take methotrexate to dissolve my "problem" as he put it. It is a medication to disolve the "products of conception".....he told me it was an ectopic pregnancy.The report stated that it could be an ectopic....OR.....a complex cyst (ie a corpus luteum cyst,...or an ovaian cyst)...he never told me about the last line....and I was shocked at his cavalier attitude...not even willing to wait and prove without a shadow of a doubt. So I have chosen another doctor....and he will be going about the business of determining whether or not the baby is where it should be....There is what looks like a gestational sac inside my uterus as well. We will,...unfortunately have to wait for this answer...but I will not stand in front of the lord on my day of reckoning to answer why I destroyed his miracle....why I trusted everyone but him.....but here are a few things I am thankful for....



My two beautiful children!!!

My Husband....

My family.....

My Friends...

Grace given and faith renewed....


And last but not least!!!>.......being able to tease my hubby and call him middle aged while he teases me for answering the remote when the phone rings,..lol....
