Cancer sucks part 12

So my dad started treatment last week on thursday.. as of today he has had three treatments and he is doing pretty good. The session is only 20 mins long. he will have to do these treatments for 30 days and then i guess they will redo all the xrays and see if more treatments are necessary. this is all i have for now. Will post if anything comes up new. thanks again for all the prayers.

Team M auction

Starting Feb 11th .. Team M will be auctioning off items to raise money for SIDS research. I am donating some items this year and if anyone that reads this blog has any items pls donate if you can. All the money raised goes to an excellant cause. SIDS is unexplainable and no one knows what causes SIDS... we need to help fund this research so we can stop this from happening to anyones child. Here is a blog post from Another Day Stronger which has the link to their fb page. It also has the email listed to sign up to participate in this auction. Hope everyone has a great day and ty!

We need your help!

SIDS. UGH. I hate typing that word. They should really call it, "We have no clue why your baby died"...or that's how I feel.

It hurts knowing that no one REALLY knows why SIDS happens. Yes, there are some theories. But, none of them have been proven correct yet.

Being told ..."She just stopped breathing...", "We really aren't sure what happened.." really rubs me the wrong way.

As a mom all we want to do is help our children. But, as of now I can't do that. We don't know what causes SIDS. So all I can do is worry that Jackson will not be taken from us to.

Some girlfriends and I are trying to raise money for SIDS research. We did this last year and we had OVER 200 items up for auction. This year we only have 25. PLEASE is you have anything you are willing to donate to our auction for SIDS research can you please e-mail us at:

2 weeks

So it is now feb.. wow where did january go ?? Of course down here in the south we havent had much of a winter at all.. we keep bouncing back and forth with temps.. and having rain with tornados back earlier this month.. ya tornados in jan?? right now i am fighting a sinus infection with ear infection.. gotta get cleared up before surgery on the 20th so got my dr to call me in some antibotics if there is anything that i can take. So 2 weeks.... in two weeks i will be having surgery .. it will be a partial hysterectomy and depending on what they see .. maybe more to do ... i am hoping this will solve the pain problems and that maybe they can see why i am having the issues with cysts on my ovaries. So here is hoping!! Will update on this when I have more info or blog about it after the surgery. Hope everyone is having a great day.. even though im under the weather and it is freezing outside today after temps in the 70's... i am bound and determined to have a good day.

blueberry pancakes

Ok so ya this is corny .. very easy recipe .. but hey call me crazy but this is the first time i have ever had blueberry pancakes... i used to hate them after having them plain for so many years as a kid but after making them today for something different for my kids... omg they are awesome!!!


Blueberry Pancakes

2 cups of Bisquick

2 eggs

1 cup of milk

1/2 of blueberries (or any kind of fruit you want

Mix everything together and then add in the fruit last. Cook on stove top in pan. Flip over once you see bubbles forming. And what I do while cooking is i heat the oven to warm with a plate in there and add the pancakes to plate as they are cooked and they stay warm.

Cancer sucks part 11

So it has been a bit since I have updated on my dad.... he is doing really good and has gotten back to swimming every day.. he is already back up to his normal workout routine which makes him very happy. He went and saw the surgeon on Jan 5th... he stated that there was nothing else to do but that he suggested radiation treatments to shrink the tumors (none cancerous now). So my dad also saw I believe the week before the oncologist who also suggested radiation to shrink the tumors since chemo only works on live tumors the best. So my dad meet with the radiational therapist and they are going to start treatments first week in feb... i believe he will do six weeks of treatments five days a week for about 20 mins... he went this week to get his tattoos of where they will be concentrating the treatment at. My dad's hair has also grown in very good. I think it is a lil darker then before. My dad has been a lil tired since getting off chemo.. but with the exercise it is making him feel almost back to his normal self. I would like everyone to pray for my friends family. She lost her grandmother at the beginning of the month to cancer. Will update when we have more news. And thank you again for all the prayers.

what a great day

Today was a pretty great day... we took off to decatur to meet with my sissy for her birthday.. she turned 30 and she is like an aunt to the kids and a mommy to ava since she babysat her when she was itty bitty. So we got to decatur about elevan and picked up jessie and went to the mall... first thing we did was get jessie a birthday crown. she has gotten one on every birthday. while we were at clair's i decided it was finally time to get ava's ears pierced. so we did that also. Ava did pretty good the worst part was holding her still and that was what she hated the most. She only cried for like 30 secs after it was done and then she acted like nothing happened. She looks so cute too with them. I will have to get a pic of her on here soon. After it was done she got a sucker and then the kiddos rode on the merry go round.. they had a blast. After that they threw some pennies into the water fountain and then we ate lunch at the mexican resterant. At that point we had meet up with Britney one of jessie's friends. She got them to sing happen birthday to her and put the sumbero on her head. It was pretty fun. After that me and the kiddos came home. Ava hasnt fussed at all about the piercings. We cleaned them twice so far and she only fussed a lil bit. I am hoping it will be pretty easy to keep them clean and she wont mess with them a whole lot. Well hope everyone is having a great week so far. ttyl =)
