Here are some pic's of our Garden day last week.. Just a few enjoy :)

This is basicly the last few weeks in pictures... I have been so busy I have not had a chance to update the blog... We got to enjoy the Collingsworth Family in Concert in Sun City AZ... We celebrated STeve's Birthday and we took a Field Trip to the Phx Zoo... There were a few I left out but will try to get more posted later.. Our week has been crazy but in the midst of all of that GOD has been so good and so close to us and just encouraging our hearts. SO despite the craziness we are having a great week in the Lord and are so thankful for HIS many blessings on our life!!! Trust everyone is having a great week!

And here is the "rest" of the story!

All started with this.... looks Innocent right? HAHAHAHAHA...

Than it became this........................

Hope this does not offend anyone.. I am decent.. but hurting.

See the patch on my upper shoulder? Yea so here is what happened...

A few days ago the toilet paper hanger broke and we have yet to get a new one... So my wonderful husband "rigged" up somthen with a wire and some screws. hmm imagine that.. rofl.. He is like the KING of Screws, wire, and duct tape..lol. So anyway.. I was trying to use the restroom.. and I was getting frustrated with the fact that I could not "change" the toilet paper so the door SWINGS open and my darling husband comes BARGING in with screw driver in hand.. I thought OMGOODNESS he has finally snapped and this is IT.. rofl rofl rofl.. He scared me to death.. I said.. WHAT are you doing? I am trying to use the restroom.. rofl.. He said I heard you in here talken to the wall so thought I would help. rofl rofl rofl.. SO he proceeds to "change" the toilet paper roll for me ya know because I am so helpless.. rofl rofl.. so he is smarten off about his hi class job and how somthen else and on and on and he was teasing me so I drew my right hand back and was gonna smack him right on the rump when he turned to leave.. rofl well instead .. I SMACKED the wall ANDDDDDDD door.. omgoodness Istarted really hollering than. rofl it hurt soooo bad... I hit it harddd.. he thought i was just messen around so he went on out and I was still yelping.. rofl. he came BACK in to see if I needed MORE toilet paper and I said I CANNOT MOVE MY HAND it was all deformed and I was cradling it to my chest.. what does my darling do?? Starts HOWLINGGGGGGG in laughter and could not HELP ME from laughing so hard.. SO imagine this scene if you would for a moment.. I am on the POT, I have just injured my RIGHT hand and my husband can not help me because he is doubled over in laughter.. I manage to take care of umm errr business.. stand up he manges to help me pull ma drawers up.. and than he realizes how hurt I was.. my hand started swelling immediately, and turned my fav color.. PURPLE.. I can't move my arm and my back is now tingling.. Yes fold I can pack a powerful punch.. rofl.. SO I go lay down and he puts these things on me that is supposed to help with "pain and swelling"( which btw it did) and than goes and gets the camera because he thinks this is just so funny.. all the while saying.. BABE I AM SO SORRY.. rofl.. SO there is our "bathroom" story.. rofl

On the road to.......

Well we are finally on the road to being well.. THANK YOU JESUS!! Shew it was a hard few weeks.. and why is it that when your sick the devil fights ya harder?? Am I alone?? Anyway so a great friend invited me to join her in our passion for the blood cursing java drink.. No we don't be drinken that devil stuff Im talken about STARBUCKSSSSS... rofl had ya goin didn't I? rofl.. ANYWAY... Was awesome and much needed and WOW ya was good..

Well here are those pics..lol

Feeling yuck!

We can not seem to shake this nasty stuff.. omgoodness.. least I don't feel alone I know a WHOLEEEE lot of people who are fighting this thing... very nasty and miserable.. I was never so thankful in all my life( well OK that's not true I have been many times) that Steve's days off came when they did.. He gets every Sunday,Monday, and Tuesday off and WOW was it ever nice to have him home to help out.. I am so blessed.. we have just been laying around feeling miserable and hoping and praying this thing leaves as quickly as it came( although its not looking that way) I have been so sick he had to read the Bible to me I couldn't sit up.. Our poor Lil girls are not feeling well either.. Right now Kelsey just has the stomach ache... kaity has what I got ( least the start of it) Shania and her dad seem to be fighting it off better than the rest of us..so lots of rest, fluids, peppermint oil, garlic, vitamin C, Tylenol cold and flue.. ANYTHING that will help we are doing. .hot tea.. you name it.. I have not even been able to go out and have a play day with my new camera and my family yet :( I want to do that so badly.. We are hoping and praying we are well by this weekend as we are planning a Lil family get away.. OK screen is starting to move on me I think that's my Que to go lay back down..lol..

Passing of a Saint

The passing of a saint... Seems alot are going home as of late.. Bro.Jackson was such a Godly man and so full of life .. He had such a caring personality about him.. As as a child I remember just loving to be around him and Sis Jackson both at church and away.. They would often come to our home for get together's and there would be much laughter.. There is something about that scenario that makes a child feel good inside.. know what I mean? I was so sad to hear about his DX several years ago of Alzheimer's.. I thought that was so unfair. here a man of God whom had given so many years of service to have such a horrible fate.. but now I understand that ALL is under Gods control and everything has a Divine plan and not for us to always understand. Such grace Sis Jackson has shown all these years caring and loving her husband even though he did not know whom she was. What a legacy he has left for his children and grandchildren and all that knew him.. Makes one think about our own life and just what are we doing NOW to affect those around us? for the sake of GODS glory and eternity? " I can only imagine" what that reunion in heaven must of been like when he walked through those pearly gates to meet JESUS face to face.. to walk by his side hand in hand and worship HIM the LAMB!! To see all those whom had gone before him( Both of my grandpas, the Lance's, the Height's, the Helton's) and many more.. Your finally at your reward Bro. Jackson. Job well done sir!
