Sorry its a little off kilter, the couch took the photo! :-)

Black Friday

My dear friend called me today, and I realized how long it's been since I posted...

I don't have much to say,... But I have LOTS of Pictures.

Now this is my idea of a GREAT Black Friday! Help Grandpa decorate the Christmas Tree!

Now I realize I went a little crazy with how many pictures I loaded, but it was just so much fun! I figure having a few to many every once in a while is ok. ;-)

Anyhow, to properly view these I need you to go to the END of the post a scroll up. I know, I know... Lazy me, but It would take quite a bit of time to reverse the order of these, so I hope you'll humor me, this once ;-)

Lots of fun! See ya all soon, I hope. :-) ~Heather

Lots of things to be Thankful for!

Veterans Day!

Andrew made the front page of the news paper!

Record Searchlight: Veterans Day!

Seizures

George had three seizures this morning. One of them with a loss of consciousness. :-P

They changed the time he takes his meds and he's been having some minor traumas and sleep deprivation... The whole combination seems to be taking a toil.

He has started to have muscle pain after the seizures. Jaw pain and tongue pain. Not fun. He had a little trouble walking after the last seizure. Didn't quite have his sea legs back yet.

Now we come to the dilemma... change the time of the meds back? or give him more time to adjust to the new time...

He had a seizure on Saturday also, so I am anticipating the new time is not working, but we may try a couple more days. It appears ANY changes to the meds effect him.

Reason for the change in the first place? He was a little tired during the days. They thought if they changed the time of the meds, he might have more energy. He hasn't been as tired, but if the seizures don't go away, then we will have to go back to the normal time.

New topic

I went to a funeral this week. On the way there I walked past a lady with two kids who were completely ignoring their mother. With sympathy I said "I understand, I have four of my own" thinking just a little empathy might make her feel better. She replied "I am so sorry". It took a minute for what she said to sink in. By that time I was climbing in my car. I was truly horrified by what she said. I wanted to yell "Hey, I like my kids!" but she was out of hearing range. I may have my moments of frustration, but I LOVE my kids.

"The father of a righteous man has great joy;

he who has a wise son delights in him."

Proverbs 23:24

Harvest Party.

I'll fly away...

Pictures from Andrew & George's first airplane ride!


9AM flight school for Andrew and George!




Preflight instruction and mini checklist...





Picture with their Pilot! Everyone say cheese!

Sitting in the airplane before take off!

On the taxi way...

And they are off and Flying!!!!

Of course the boys didn't take pictures of each other in the plane but they had lots of fun!

Today, yesterday and tomorrow.

Plan for today? School work and sleep. Hope to get some extra sleep to prepair for the crazy weekend headed our way.





Yesterday: George had his blood drawn to check med levels and kidney and liver functions. Jonathan had his first allergy shot. He had a really bad reaction to it. (supose to be a little bubble test like a TB shot, he ended up having a reaction that was over twice that size) They are going to have to redue the strength of the shot before we come back, cause they can't make the dose any smaller. Then we did the phamacy run. Less then 10 min. Pretty good for us,... Although did I mention that the DIDN'T HAVE the med and we have to go back in a day or two??? lol. Oh, well.





Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. Flight, Gems, and harvest festival. Then Sunday is the funeral and tuesday George goes back to the neroulogist about the blood and the meds. :-) Yap, normal live for us... At least for now.





Hope all is well with everyone else.





Loves, H

Ps. I posted this shot earlier with no explination... This a picture of George having a Hyperthermia reaction to his medication. The picture was taken right before he went down on us and had to be taken to the medic station.

Anna

Good Morning...

The Pictures are from Mountain Camping that the 'men' in my family went on. :-)

Good Morning to all.





Plan for today? Chores and homework. Not much else.





News? Our community has a Young Eagles program. Looks like my boys might get to go up in an airplane on Sat if all goes well, but Shhhh... I am not telling them in case if falls through. :-)



There also is a German news station suppose to come to R.B. to do a news article on Young Marines... Y? Got me. But in any case they have picked two kids to do the article on and it looks like Andrew is going to be one of those kids. ;-) Again Shhhh... I'm not wanting to get his hopes up just in case. Cause I don't know if it will all come together. :-)



Lets see,... Baby Joel C. was born :-) Yeah! Congrats to the C. family.



And sad to say my great cousin passed away this week. Good news is she knew the Lord. So we shall see her again in heaven. :-)





:-( Sad for the family though, who is going to miss her.

Sleepy, Sleepy.

Sleepy, sleepy off to bed.

Head on pellow.

Nose under covers.

Cat on bed.

:-)

Goodnight to one and all.

Spencer's been gone so much that the children and I have been starting to wonder if he is a figment of our imaginations. Today I have proof that he is still in our lives. A dozen red roses sitting on my diningroom table. Sorry no pictures. I can't find my camera.

Wow, where to start? It's been awhile. No matter how determained I am, I seem to not be able to get back in the habbit of blogging. So, I am promising nothing. Just that I am blogging today. :-)

Our lives have pretty much consisted of Work (spencer's been working 51 hours a week, with a split shift that comes out closer to away from the house 61 hours a week), Schoolwork, Housework and medical appointments. We've been averaging 4 doctor appointments a week. :-P I am ready for the doctor appointments to be DONE!!!

Money's been tight, weither due to lack of managment could be debated, but whatever the case. It's been tight. Now we are starting to get doctor bills in the mail. :-P

Speaking of doctors... Anna just got shot in the eye with a velcrow tipped nerf bulet and is bleeding out of the eye. I am headed to an opthomologist. I am not spell checking this, but I will post it just for the pictures.
