Back in Business!

Okay, we are open for business. I FINALLY got my camera running again!!

Girls weekend was fun. No radio or t.v.....just lots of talking AND lots of laughter! Friday night we stayed up until 1 am just talking and having a good time. On Saturday, we floated the river twice! It was packed!! On the first time down, it was so sunny and then out of no where it started storming. Rain, thunder and lightening! What do you do, you are stuck on the river? We had about 20 minutes left to float. After the bus ride back to our car, it cleared up...so we went again! Karli had two friends join us and they were a lot of fun.

Saturday night, we went to a local bar called the Icehouse (outside seating and a band). We stayed up until 2 that night. Several hours past my bedtime!


Lindsey and Karli being silly!The Three of us!
And of course...a late night drive thru stop to Taco Cabana!
HOWEVER, as much as you need a girls weekend, the best part of the trip is coming home to these cute boys! Daddy did an AWESOME job watching them all weekend!!

Landon wasn't wanting to look at the camera, so Carter was helping (poor Landon).

Random Pics

Okay...I apologize for the lack of updates. I am still having camera problems. I bought a new battery, but I guess it is the wrong one. Not too much going on around here. Just enjoying the summer days with my boys. Trying to go to the pool as much as possible and trying to keep Carter busy! This week he has been doing VBS with a friend and LOVES it!

I found some pics that I don't think have been posted. The first ones are from our first trip to Sea World with Carter (We have been twice). Our family absolutely loves San Antonio and we need to get back there soon!

Here is Carter and I outside of our favorite Mexican food place...

Daddy and Carter riding the rides...Yes Carter's shirt is off. It was so hot that day!!

And just so I don't leave my Landon out, here is one of his first pics....
And a recent one....This weekend, Lindsey and I are going to New Braunsfels to spend a girls weekend with Karli. We will be floating down the river and shopping at the outlet mall. I can't wait!!

Old Pics...

I can not find my camera charger, therefore I have not taken any pictures. I guess I will have to break down and buy a new one at Best Buy this weekend. These are old pictures from before our Savannah trip. This is from Carter's preschool graduation.

Here he is with his two teachers...

Where is Landon?
There he is!

Emerson Update

This is copy and pasted from Emerson's caringbridge site. Great news!!

All things are possible to him who believes. Mark 9:23

Hallelujah!!! The doc called to give us great news! Emerson is in remission!! This puts her in the best risk class, and increases her chances of full recovery to above 90%! She is now in the low risk group for the follow-up chemo, so she will get fewer medications over the next 2.5 years. Praise God! This is an answer to all of our prayers!

And, the test was NEGATIVE, which means that it shows no sign of any cancer! Technically, she would still be in the low risk group if the results came back less than 0.01%. But the test could not pick up ANY cancer cells in her body (although there could still be some lingering about).

Even more good news, she went poopy today! So hopefully her stomach pains will resolve. She has been pretty miserable for a couple of days.

Thank you for your prayers! This was a huge milestone along our path. We pray that God will continue to light our path and give us the strength and conviction to implement His will for our family.

'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.' Psalm 119:105

Trying to Catch Up...but had to break for the pool!

I have tons of pics to post, but I don't have any time today. We just got back from our trip to Savannah and Charleston with Lindsey and Jason. We had a blast! I definitely missed my boys, though! I'll do a longer post tomorrow. For now, I am leaving you with some pictures from today.
Enjoy!


Landon has turned into a big boy overnight! Here is a recent video. I don't know why it is so dark, hopefully you can see it.

For Mother's Day, at school, each kid had to fill in the blanks to the following questions. The words in BLUE are Carter's answers.

My Mommy

My Mommy's name is Susan. She is 69 years old. Her favorite color is red. Her favorite food is pasta. My Mommy's favorite t.v. show is Deal or No Deal. If I could buy her a gift, I would buy her a lipstick. She loves to put Landon to bed. Her favorite place is Kohl's. I know my Mommy loves me because she says it a LOT!

The only questions he got right were the first one and the last one. I'll have to work on that!

Leaving you with pictures....

Here is Carter's last day of swimming. He can actually swim across the pool, but since it was the last day they were practicing safety. Therefore they were told to jump off the side and practice swimming right back.
