Kids are doing fine and no one has got into trouble today...yet..! Leap year today so I have been Leaping to do better. It has been a nice day out today. I have enjoyed opening the windows and letting some cool air blow through this old house. I can't believe that tomorrow is March 1st already, it has been a racing year so far. I want it to slow down..it is going by way to fast. Well, I am hoping that we can go for a little walk tonight before dinner..we will see. </div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10229117388125358655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536693366046649501.post-70947679676854685772009-09-09T12:48:00.005-04:002011-10-30T10:39:11.535-04:00Taking a Stroll<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4cePAQH7YvFrpNrCUKHqArwbYqZVimNJUsgheGEC3fqMDw5LiuPlo3M2d8spmj8F46Vh6RSV9P_ZOlAbgwsWEBnZ5ppDZAx1OoYp660wbhR_ajXcx9vIG_CRIm6p8WRAkD_ucv8lDKU0n/s1600-h/100_3247.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-guVkNNf1fzWYb8j8L4naJEtQiU-zr_fhUzr91fN85X3U8rxCu7nD74MUIWfw7m_cfoMow0tse6cuZ6xv5E0LF-4uhkB4Cg5rncvp3pLS9P373InJHZKpBmlxlI_L-e5grwRFid7od3BW/s1600-h/100_3246.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379514952012361202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-guVkNNf1fzWYb8j8L4naJEtQiU-zr_fhUzr91fN85X3U8rxCu7nD74MUIWfw7m_cfoMow0tse6cuZ6xv5E0LF-4uhkB4Cg5rncvp3pLS9P373InJHZKpBmlxlI_L-e5grwRFid7od3BW/s320/100_3246.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBqSJtg_1hAW3fdB7EkBC45lHIYhQq3xZET6EA0kyVF02XOeOHHRWotgol9krBfPp4_00ivGKcntItwv0xbcgluJlgAmMpDH1z0In_WVsa0m41VBFSAhHC51SgceKEvbwrobht1yo2B-3A/s1600-h/100_3243.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379514938436915666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBqSJtg_1hAW3fdB7EkBC45lHIYhQq3xZET6EA0kyVF02XOeOHHRWotgol9krBfPp4_00ivGKcntItwv0xbcgluJlgAmMpDH1z0In_WVsa0m41VBFSAhHC51SgceKEvbwrobht1yo2B-3A/s320/100_3243.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRW9NZFqocJNytcuJpqCmC-iGJyJM4mwNWiYjoqa8jM5RyW9I5nrfC1o1CIDa4IWsZA51X1qgwzHY52y5On1x5e-0khN2NPuTW3JdtqTu9K5lHVa6MR7mdFLGRzguqgmRspL_G4LgKesBF/s1600-h/100_3241.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Just about every eveing we all take a little stroll.

There is a funny story about this..every time before Scott took Skyler hunting... me being the animal lover that I am would pray for them to safe and that all the animals would be safe and that Skyler wouldn't get anything..lol..I know that I should be supportive and I am ... I am just weird that way I guess. Well, on this particular day Scott and Skyler went hunting on a whim and I had no idea that they where going and I didn't say my little hunting prayer. So, on that day Skyler finally got one. When they came home and Skyler came to me with his huge grin on his face...I knew before he opened his mouth to talk what had happened. He said, "you must of forgot to pray because I got one." I responded that "your right. Because you both went and didn't tell me."

This was the the morning of the first hunting outing for Scott and Skyler this year. Skyler was so happy and excited. Scott and Skyler didn't get anything though. Skyler was pretty disappointed. I on the other hand was pleased with the results. I told Skyler that I was praying that he wouldn't get anything and he was laughing at me saying "well, sounds like someone get their prayers answered." So, every time that they gone since Skyler is asking if I prayed. Of course, I said "I pray everyday."

We had a really good time. It was nice change. Something that we needed, to get a way for the day along with my mom and grandpa. To be honest not my idea of a outing but, my grandpa and mom has been wanting to go for a while. My mind was soon changed as I got there. I found myself in amazement and in awe at all of the aircraft that was there. I was drawn in at all the history that was there and all the stories beaning told and to see it all up close and personal it was really cool. I learned alot that day about myself, that is ok to try new things out of my comfort zone and interests..you might love it and how much I love what so many have done for me. At one point a (around my grandpa's age) retired Air Force pilot came over and shook my grandpa's hand and said "thank you" for your service and in return my grandpa said the same. My grandpa wasn't in the Air Force but in the army during WW II. My eyes began to swell up with a few tears. It was a great thing to see and hear two men, strangers but yet bonded in a way that I will never know give thanks to each other. I came I realized that this museum was not just place to go a see the planes but, a place to honor all the people that served our country. </div></div></div></div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10229117388125358655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536693366046649501.post-28461594624917263542009-06-03T19:50:00.000-04:002009-06-03T19:54:08.065-04:00BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER By Maya Angelou<br />'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'<br />When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,' I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'<br />When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.<br />When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.<br />When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.<br />When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.<br />When I say.... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain... I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.<br />When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!<br />Pretty is as Pretty does...

We had a great time and the kids did good too. Katelyn got a third place finish and it was her first time racing! She took a bad fall and ate some dirt in the first go around but, she got right back up and went again. Shane got a second place win.

He had so much fun. Scott LOVES the Reds. I mean he is a little addicted. We watch just about every game and if we are on the road...yes, we listen to it on the radio and if we are at someone house he will ask to turn the game on. Not joking. He has been a fan since he was a child. We went to a game last season in the fall and I had a great time but, I think that it is good for him to go out with his buddies. He had really good seats, six rows up from the field by the Reds dugout. It was his boys day out day. Here are just a few pics that he took from the game. I have bad news though...the Reds lost.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiCzaT30_bUDSo2IcwsAcWTwrfKezrcjhfRz67JuHaj2TH4a2KxjnSf6wK_IC9a-OCgOI-CU0HnJ1ceb_Dz8mN6NWGvl8dJT8P5ucprOvc-KHW3Ram_crnuzIzQCoXS40YIg300l9nMtFJ/s1600-h/100_2191.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340274460312774242" style="DISPLAY: block;

I am sooo excited and glad to be done. We got of of our papers sent to Fayette Co DCS instead of Hancock Co DCS. Which was a great idea because Fayette Co DCS didn't waste no time getting it done. We got approved for 4 children. Now, we can begin to grow our family. Praise God and I give Him all the Glory!! </div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10229117388125358655noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536693366046649501.post-42107661346207659622009-05-12T17:30:00.003-04:002009-05-21T14:32:04.410-04:00Happy Mother's Day<div align="center">This year on Mother's Day we went to Ohio and visited with Scott's family.

I wasn't paying attention when I shut the van door..then...the pain..I closed the van door on my middle finger on my left hand. So, I opened the van door and took out my finger. I went on and took Jake to the appointment. The pain was like nothing else I have had felt before. I told the vet on what happened..she couldn't believed it and thought that I might have broke in because the way I described the pain and they way that my poor finger looked. So, she took an x-ray of it and well it was crushed...she said that there isn't really anything that they could do for that type on an injury she thought that I should just get a splint and let it heal. So, that is what I did. I went to a local pharmacy bought a splint wrapped it up and went on..boy did it ever hurt I thought that that my finger was going to fall off..lol..Well, my husband being the joker that he is..had to make fun of me and my poor finger in the splint. I just let it go..and had to laugh with him a few times. Then on Sunday the 3rd we went to New Castle to visit a member of our church that is in a nursing home and had Communion with him. Scott was putting the Communion box in the van and then the OH! yes o yes he slammed his finger in the van door. Not only the same van door but, the same finger on the same hand as me and yes he broke it too. So, here we are matching splints on our fingers...at least he could finally say that he felt my pain and meant it...lol...I am happy to say that we are healing.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10229117388125358655noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536693366046649501.post-2938819436029966222009-05-01T14:34:00.001-04:002009-05-05T16:46:55.535-04:00Good NewsWe got good news when we took Jake to the vet for his 2 week check up. The vet did the ultrasound and looked at his gallbladder which looked better!!YEAH!! It had fluid in it this time which is a really good thing. It was solid last time. It has not shrank any but, we are still optimistic about his healing. The vet took out some of his stitches and seen that Jake wasn't healing to good so, the vet put staples in Jake's belly for a while until the skin all heals together. Thank you for all the prayers. Blessings!Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10229117388125358655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536693366046649501.post-83657442035804082462009-04-24T17:11:00.001-04:002009-04-30T14:29:55.681-04:00Things Looking UpWell, things seem to be going in the right direction for Jake. The vet has adjusted his meds some and is now on 800 mg of the milk thistle and the SAMe , 3000mg of flaxseed, 2000mg of Keflex and 600mg Ursadiol. He is eating great and being good ol' Jake. YEAH!! Jake goes to the vet on Friday May 1st to get his stitches out, ultrasound on liver and gallbladder and bloodwork for his liver enzymes. Things have been getting back to normal...well as normal as it can be for us..lol..I well post again soon.

We had a long talk to vet about his situation last night. Come to find out that his liver is a BIG problem. He has liver disease and it is in the last stage. The vet told us a couple of weeks left for Jake and didn't think that he would make it through the gallbladder surgery. But, she also said she didn't think that he would make it through last night. So,worried that we might not see Jake again we went last night to the vet clinic and sat and had a good visit with Jake for a little over an hour. He ate all of his supper for us and he walked around some. We took his blanket from the house and got him cozy well, as cozy as he could be in the clinic. We said our goodbyes and gave him lots of love and of course I cried like a baby. When I got home last night I did alot of research about liver disease and come to find out that the liver will heal itself in time if the problem is removed(which is is gallbladder) it is a slow process but it can be done. I got a list of meds that might help him and so on. I asked the vet about them this afternoon, she was shocked that I did all the research and agreed with the list of vitamins that I wanted to give Jake. So, our plan and hope that it is God's too is to treat the liver disease with milk thistle(gave one tonight at 6:30), SAMe(have to give on an empty belly so going to give in the morning), and a special diet of low protein and high calories. He is on Hill's i/d can food, brown rice, cottage cheese, eggs and if he will eat it kale. He is on his antibiotics and pain meds from the surgery all ready and will be begin a drug that helps make the toxic bile less toxic. The vet has to order that one on Monday, they don't keep it is stock. He has had some bleeding today but he has surprised us all by eating and eating, walking around and urinating and taking bm's. We want to get him through this surgery and hopefully begin some healing in the liver and the goal is to get that gallbladder out! I know some people think that this might be a long shot but, not me. He is the toughest dog I know. Even the vet said that she can't believe that he is still alive and commented on just how tough he was..she told us this morning that if this happened to any other dog it wouldn't of survived.<br />Jake to me just isn't a dog he is a member of my family, we have had him for 11yrs and I just can't wait it out and do nothing. I have to fight this with him and right along his side all the way. After all he has given me all the unconditional love I never knew I wanted or needed for the past 11 yrs it is only fair to give it back. I love him as my son and I will do whatever and give up whatever for him cause you can't put a price on family and love. I ask everyone to please pray for us and especially for Jake at this time. Thank you so much and I will keep you updated.</div></div></div></div>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10229117388125358655noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536693366046649501.post-6318111522749830682009-04-17T16:37:00.007-04:002009-04-18T22:49:55.455-04:00What a Beautiful Storm<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgROCXnh5xvilQNAG8MLdYsftZ3SbYwqfNDsmix2O7IaNwsSxEZLRUuNYbVZLR1o0SRSIGWMEwyKD6V5lNKRbD_jn-DFfwz0qlzkjivF86JDKy5ygi-nWyEEzSVirVZwAob330_TxYUXELf/s1600-h/100_1786.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326222850801435186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgROCXnh5xvilQNAG8MLdYsftZ3SbYwqfNDsmix2O7IaNwsSxEZLRUuNYbVZLR1o0SRSIGWMEwyKD6V5lNKRbD_jn-DFfwz0qlzkjivF86JDKy5ygi-nWyEEzSVirVZwAob330_TxYUXELf/s400/100_1786.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Here are some pics of Storm that we took last Saturday.

First, he gets to come home in the morning! Yeah! Second, good news the vet doesn't think that it is cancer but to be sure we are sending the tissue for the test out, hopefully we will know the results next week sometime. The vet went ahead and neutered him & found his bladder which is fine, no stones or anything and his prostate was so big that is what was causing him trouble with the urinating. His prostate will go down in time since we had him neutered. Now the bad news, Jake needs his gallbladder out ASAP. Our vet doesn't do that type of surgery, they do know a few vets that do...the problem..money...our vet thinks, that the rate for gallbladder removal is 3,000 to 5,000! So, we are trying to see if maybe Purdue will do it as a learning surgery hopefully at a discounted rate..Have to see. We got the email address to the professor in vet med and I am working on the email to send him. So, once again I am asking for prayer as we try to figure out how to pay for the surgery. As you all know we don't have the best credit so, this isn't going to be easy coming up with it but, I have to remember that all things are possible through Christ! If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks and God Bless.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10229117388125358655noreply@blogger.com0
