Happy Birthday Aunt Erica!

I just wanted to take a moment to wish my sister Erica a Happy Birthday. I do realize your birthday is Monday, but I had the time this morning to do it, so I thought I better go ahead and post it now in case I was too busy the night before your birthday. (school :-) I want you to know how very special you are to us and how very much we love you. (Of course, you already knew that) I am lucky to have you as my sister. I hope you have a wonderful 30th birthday old woman! hehe. I love you little sister. So does your niece!!! She loves her "Aunt Eka"! Love you bunches and bunches! Happy Birthday!

UPDATE: Ok, so my sister calls me tonight, (Sunday), to tell me how sweet I was and to thank me for thinking of her. Then she says, "There's only only one problem, I'm not 30. I'm 31." I am such an airhead!! I can't remember anything! I can't get anyone's birthday right! I even called my mother to make sure I had it right and she was wrong too. Guess I come by it honest!!! At least I'm not in my moms shoes! :-) hehe.. I bet she's in BIG trouble!

I know I have never left a comment on this blog site, but I felt that I needed to after this post. (I am not very good with words!) I am so excited and blessed to have this little girl in my life. Tanya and I never got along as children, but as we've gotten older (and more mature) we have grown so much closer. There have been times that I don't know whatI would have done without her. She has always been great with my 2 children and I always knew she would make a terrific MOM! I know it may not have seemed like it at the time, but I think GOD had a plan for Tanya and Jason. He knew that what they had to endure prior to Olivia would only make them stronger! It gave them the strength to be able to wait those long, trying years for what has been the biggest blessing of all: JAYLIAN OLIVIA JONES!!! They are wonderful parents! (and it turns out that Tanya isn't as big of a spaz as she was with my children). I am so proud of them both. Thanks for sharing your lives with me! I Love You All!!!!

Slowdown....

I just want to tell everyone now, my posts may start slowing down drastically when school starts back. I start on the 15th (next Thursday) and I do have some rather difficult classes this time. Also, I will be studying for the hesi test that I have to take if February, so my blog life will be taking a back seat for a while... I am not going to quit blogging though. I do have plans for a couple of posts in the near future, I just can't keep up like I am used to when classes start. I just wanted everyone to know why I am suddenly not leaving comments on your blog or not updating as frequently...Please keep me in your prayers as I am studying for this hesi test. This test will determine whether I get into the nursing program or not and I have A LOT of competition.... Just want you all to know what's going on with me when my blog is not being updated that much.... Love ya friends.......

Please keep our "Little Livie" in your prayers.....

Today we will be leaving at 5:00 a.m. to head to Knoxville for a round of tests.. Olivia has to have surgery on May 12th for a branchial cleft anomaly on her chest and just above her ear. I am dreading it... I am trying to act like it is no big deal to appear strong for her, but I am scared to death!!! Today we have to go and have a fistulagram and a renal ultrasound done... The fistulagram involves shooting dye through the little holes (sinus cavities that didn't fully develop) to see where they go so the surgeons know all details before the actual surgery begins.... The renal ultrasound is to check her kidney function because sometimes when kids have these anomalies, kidney problems are also involved!! Let's pray we don't have that problem... Like I said, I am scared to death!! But, the kidney ultrasound will relieve my worries of the China Milk scandal where a bunch of kids adopted from China have been found to have kidney issues from tampered milk... (If you don't k...

"Pray to Jesus"....

Image
So the past few weeks, Jason and I have decided to try to get in the habit of saying a prayer before we all eat dinner at night. I'll admit, this is one habit Jason and I never did that we should have already been doing. Anyway, at night I will say "Oh, we need to say our prayers." Olivia just loves it. Everyone at the table ends up saying a prayer (at Olivia's request). But I just had to post, every one of her prayers start with "Pray to Jesus".. EVERY ONE! And if we forget to say them, (yes, we forget) she says "We need to pray to Jesus!" It is the sweetest thing ever! She always makes us close our eyes and cross our fingers together. So tonight, I'll admit, I peeked to see what kind of face she was making during these prayers, and it was the cutest thing ever... So, I got up and got the camera ~ and then got in trouble!! Hehe.... :-) Our baby is growing up!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!
