Walking through it-- the first week of August --- WOW WHAT A WEEK!

Well last Monday August 3rd--- we spent at the Childrens hospital.... The rest of the week was a blur for I had a baby girl who didn't feel well, I worked a couple days and spent another day at the hospital.....

Really I am tired.... My family has been going through a minor crisis this week.... God knows all about it and HE WILL WIN!

Ever felt like satan was trying to destroy you. Well that is where I am this week. Brian has actually kept me together..
Without God, Brian, and my special prayer partner---this week I may have crashed......
I am also blessed by a very special cousin..... I hope she knows who she is.... I am so thankful God allowed her into my life. ** And He knows right when to put us together- He knows when we need a lit extra help..

Just so you know cousin, friend, sister in Christ- I have been blessed by you this week....Your words of encouragement, you ear to listen, your prayers and just you being there has meant more than you will ever know this side of Heaven.... Without you--- well I would have made it through but it would have been so much harder....
Hugs to you..........

Alright well I believe I am somewhat caught up in the blogging department. I do have some cave pictures and stuff to post... But I will do it at a later time.... Mikel Ann and Brian are both in this room sawing logs.... Guess I will try to join them......

Let's Wrap up July

July came and went and it proved to be very busy.... Hannah Jane turned 9 years old, our first Tennessee trip,our Kentucky trip, Maddison went to church camp, we stayed home a week and half and then off again to Tennessee.

We did something we have never done before. We went to The lake with Uncle Vic, Aunt Christi, and Victoria.... While in Tennessee we attended the Ripley Water Park along with the YMCa one day before coming home. We were at grandmas for several days and we loved it all...

So as you can see we were gone most of the month of July... I felt very blessed that we could do it...
Making memories with my children and family is what I am looking at these days..

So Now on to catch us up till Now!!

Once again I will say we had a blast. We are so glad we got to go and spend time with those we knew and get to know those we didn't...... God created family for a reason.....

Way to go Taylor men.... I enjoyed the music and next time I am jumping right in on it...

Kentucky Reunion

Okay so the reunion started on July 3rd.... So yes absolutely we have some catching up to do...
This year it worked out for Brian and I and the girls to accompany Grandpa and Grandma (aka Jack and Barbara) along with Aunt Deborah to Kentucky...I have to say in the beginning I was like really? Ok a trip lets go..... But it turned out to be a great time, and little did I know the "friendships" that would be made. It was a two day event that started out on Saturday the 4th at uncle Bruce's. It was his 90th birthday.

So here are some pictures....

Here we have Uncle Bruce- It was his 90th Birthday.... Oh we had a blast listening to the stories.
Here below is Jack telling Larry something... The good Lord only knows.
Here is a picture of Deborah and Becky.... I promise it never failed to see a smile on Beckys face any time you looked at her. It was a great pleasure getting to know her. I love to meet new family. ( I don't just mean blood family either) I pray Brian and I will do better at keeping in touch with her and Danny...
AND HERE THEY ARE!!!! Bruce 90 and Jack 75, the only two Taylor Brothers left.... It was a great visit for Jack. So glad we got to share in on it.

VACATION!

It is now July the 3rd but the girls and I have been on vacation for a while. We left last Sunday June 28th. My grandmother has dail up so it was impossible to blog. We left early around 645 am so we arrived about 10 30... The week has been fun filled no doubt. On sunday after arriving in Tennessee we ate lunch with Ma. Then off to Suzannes. I was so tired but wanted so much to see my precious sweet nephew, Cale Michael... (pictures to come when I get home) That particular night he came home with Aunt Kerri. I loved being with him. He is soooo sweet, and laughs at EVERYTHING!
Monday the kids and I hung out. We didn't even open the garage at Ma's until after noon. Carolyn came to see us and that was about it. We Rested.....
Tuesday we go tto hang out with Shawna and Lana and all the Gilbreath kids.... How much fun we had!
Wednesday Ma and I had some time to ourselves. The kids were with my mom.
Thursday was off to meet daddy, g-ma, g-pa, and aunt deborah.......
