HOP SCOTCH POLKA TIME

Maylee danced on Friday and Monday at different hospitals, she does the hopscotch polka for tap, and the maypole dance for ballet, it is pretty cute to watch, she is not even scared anymore and she lets me watch whenever I want!

HERE IS A POEM FOR ALL MOMMY'S AND SOMEDAY GOING TO BE MOMMY'S

BEFORE I WAS MOM!

Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom, I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom, I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom, I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom .

What you get when a farmer plants a garden!

We wanted to do a garden this year since last year we did'nt

get around to it, I heard a tractor behind our house and sure enough Braden and his Dad were getting the garden ready, I thought okay looks good, then I told Jeff go al ittle bigger then when I saw the garden spot the next day with out the hugh tractor in it I thought wow that's big, I 'm glad I have a farmer husband who is used to big acres of land!

Me, Maylee, and Hannah Montana

I took Maylee to the movie a couple weeks ago, it was the night before the supercross so gracie had already gone to Trish's house, and Braden and Jeff were planting beets till midnight so we decided to go see the new Hannah Montana Movie, the funny thing was we went to the late show and we were the only ones there, Maylee said were are all the people, I thought to myself good question maybe we did not get the memo that this movie was no good, well it turned out to be a fun movie we both liked it, I guess we were just the only ones that decided to go to the late show!

gOOD nEWs

Dr. Graham called tonight and told us that Braden's heart was fine it was not working to hard because of the high blood pressure and he saw no problems so now we will see the specialist and get this under control! yahoo

A beautiful heart

That is the good news we heard from the ultrasound guy on monday morning, he kept telling Braden he had a beautiful heart, he told me at the end of the ultrasound that there were no holes in his heart, the ventricules looked good, there were no leaks, the liver looked good, he still had to send it to the heart DR. then the heart doctor studies it then calls Dr.Graham so I have not heard yet but he at least made me feel better by telling him he had a beautiful heart!!!!!!!!!!
