me momma

Here's a little update on my momma. She is doing fine as of now. She finished her radiation treatments a few weeks ago and just went back to work this week. She started back on anti tumor drugs and that along with the radiation has seemed to stop any tumor growth. Now we just wait and see if it sticks.

I sure do love my sweet little mommy. Watching her stay strong with all this hupla surounding her makes my heart melt. I hope that my girls love me as much as I love my sweet mom.

Hogle Zoo 8/2011

HOgle ZOo

It was time for our yearly zoo trip. They had a special dinosaur exhibit at the zoo this year that was pretty neat. I unfortunately did not get any pictures of the dinosaurs because they scared the shit out of Addison and we had to run as fast as we could to catch her while she screamed and ran the other way. We had a good time any way and since Elivia decided she was to big to ride in the stroller she walked the entire way. That was great because it completely wore her out and when she saw the door to leave the zoo she bolted to it. She couldn't get to the car fast enough so Byron went chasing after her and I went to the little park with Addison. That's why their are no pictures of Lu.

Until next year...

Today I was sick. Not just the I'm tired and don't want to do any thing kind of sick, the don't touch or look or ask me to move kind of sick. At 3 a.m. as I am laying in bed realizing I am not going to be able to kick this by morning. I know I have a loong day ahead of me. So what do you do as a mother who knows your going to have to take care of children all day feeling as though you may indeed pass out and throw up at any moment...absolutely nothing. I am here to tell you if you are contemplating having children, remember you get no sick days. Sucking it up and dealing with it as best as you can is all you got but nobody says you gotta like it. Nope I hate it, I hate days like this your can't lay in bed and get better, nope you get to change diapers and make food all while keeping the puke bucket close at hand. I feel however that letting my kids go stark naked all while eating pop tarts, Popsicles, dry cereal, anything that they can feed themselves and have little cleanup as possible is not a problem. I can after all supervise them from the couch and open my eyes only if I hear a loud bang and cry afterword...no blood...there fine just shake it off. I occupied most of my time on the couch and without much effort my kids survived the day. I did stand long enough to make some dinner but that's about it. My house on the other hand looks a little trailorish but, eh, tomorrow is another day. So to all you sick moms who just have to deal with it I just want you to know I'm sorry. Really, really. sorry.

That's one pissed off LuLu.

Elivia is coming fast upon turning 2 and the fun has already begun.

She was feeling a little under the weather so everything was a little over dramatic.

Addison first day of Preschool

August 29.2011

Addison was so excited for her second year of Preschool. She loves her teacher Miss. Heather and has so much fun playing with all her classmates. She especially loves to play with her good friend Jaycee Call they are so lucky to be able to go to Preschool together.

Cancer sucks!!

Today we met with the Oncologist for my mom. An Oncologist is a doctor that specializes in the treatment of cancer. While we were waiting for her to come in and talk to us I was thinking that she would have the worst and the best job in the world. To give someone what may be the most devastating news they have ever had and then to tell someone else the best news they have ever heard, I can't imagine the drain that would be on your energy. You would need have a very strong soul.

We were going to get the results of her PET scan. A PET scan is used to revel the presence and severity of cancer. They found that the cancer thankfully has not spread to any of her other major organs. That helps put a more positive outlook on that general diagnosis. However, they did find a lump in her other breast. ARE YA KIDDING ME. I just don't know how I feel about this, how in the HELL could she have breast cancer along with the cancer already in her bones. They are pretty sure that the cancer in her bones is breast cancer but the Dr. said that it would be unlikely that the cancer in her other breast is the same cancer that is in this breast. WHAT??? So you can get two different cancers in each breast AND not only that but when my mom had cancer in her breast the last time that was TWO different cancers then. WHAT THE HELL!! 
Alright so now we are faced with yet again more testing and waiting......and waiting......and waiting. Then probably more testing and waiting. Because the cancer might be a new type then she will probably have to do chemo. MAN, that makes me so angry. The doctor said they hope it is small enough that they can do a lumpectomy and that would be great because I don't think getting a mastectomy is something my mom is very willing to do.

Lulu AKA Elivia

 Since I didn't keep my blog updated through the first year of  Elivia's life here are some random pics that I love

Daddy is starting them early.

Chill'n at the pool. Look at those arms compliments of the Michelin Man.

          T he super cute Pebbles T-shirt that my cousin bought for her.

          CHEESE!!!

mmmmm, food. My favorite time of day.

 

This hog Byron picked up at the dump. Can you believe someone would leave this there!!!! It looks brand new and works great too! All we had to do was charge it.

This was the day that Elivia figured out how to get into the sitting position in her crib.

She's brilliant

Elivia was really sick in this picture. The poor thing looks like she is trying to put

a good face on for the camera



Temper tantrums are starting early with this one.
