Jenn Woodall Family Pics

Meet Jennifer Woodall and her husband, Matt, son, Maddox, and daughter Mattie. Jenn teaches second grade at my school and she's my very bestest friend. She lives about 10 mi. away, so we get to visit often. I really love going to her house and seeing the kids. They're so cute! Don't ya think?
Jenn's reading Goodnight Moon I brought to Maddox. He's hooked.

Mr. Maddox Fisher. Just check those eyes and that grin out. Oh, so cute!

Beautiful Mattie Ruth! I love this picture. Mattie knows how to pose and loves to take pictures herself. Cutie Pie!

Christmas with Russ's Family

This is our family on Russ's side. We gathered Sunday to eat and visit. We had a great time and it was good to see everybody. Even though they only live about 10 miles from us, we never get to see them because we're all so busy.

Thorsby Christmas Parade

This is the first time in years that we've gone to our town's Christmas Parade. Evan wanted to go this year so we went leaving Parker behind (he said he's good). We ran into Kelly and Cathy and Alexa and Wyatt and Teresa and Barry and grandkids and we all froze! The parade was good and it put us all in the Christmas spirit. Glad we went.

My brother, Kelly and me freeeezing.

Kelly and Alexa. She gladly wore her Paw's hunting jacket to avoid the cold wind.

Vacation time is finally here

I love Mondays. I love being on vacation. I love having time to do the laundry. I love being able to fix food (or buy it-haha) for the boys. I love cleaning the house getting ready for the family Christmas.
Life is good today!

Look What I Have....

Every Christmas I bring out these special Santa pics of the boys. Oh, the magic of Christmas....it keeps me going. This is Evan at two years old before Parker came into the world. And baby makes two! Parker has arrived, it's Christmas 1995, and Evan has a buddy for Santa's lap. Doesn't look like they were scared, does it? How cute my babies are.....I love you both.Fast foward about 11 years. It's 2006 and this was our Christmas pic with our dog, Chloe. My boys have grown.....

If It's Not One Thing....

It's another! I had to have my port revised last week. I really didn't want to go through a surgery - even if it was outpatient surgery because I can't stay down long. It drives me crazy! Russ took me the day we were out of school for Veteran's Day. A few days later I had to come up and check on my mama. After 2 chemos, she's swelled a little here, but doing well. Me? I am still recovering, but didn't miss a beat at work. Please pray that darned port works.

Mom's Got It

Well, Mom's got breast cancer too. I can't believe it. She caught hers on a routine mammogram and it was caught in it's early stages. She's got the same kind as me-invasive ductile carcinoma, but her tumor is different. It's called triple negative which means it's got nothing to do with estrogen like mine does. She had a lumpectomy and is in the middle of her treatments- 6 rounds of Cytoxin and Taxol every 3 wks., then radiation for a period of time. She's using all of my drs. at St. Vincent's, and they've been so good to her. She feels the same about the chemo nurses--they're awesome and they love us special. Mama is a trooper and has not complained one time. She's bald...but she doesn't care! This is one of her wigs, and I think it's cute! Go Chemo- kick Mama's cancer out! (Suzie, can't remember that cheer you made up-you've got to remind me.)
