Please say a prayer for Emily, her grandmother Rowena, and their family. Rowena fell Tuesday night around 9pm-10pm while going to answer the phone in the kitchen. Emily was already in bed, and is a very sound sleeper. Rowena laid there calling out to Emily finally waking her up. Emily did such a good job, she called Helen at work and Helen called 911 (of course beating the ambulance to the house.) Emily made sure that she was comfortable by getting her a pillow and blanket until help arrived. We are very proud of her!!

Rowena is at Harton Regional in Tullahoma awaiting surgery. Her Dr.’s have said that her blood was too thin and they do not want to operate yet. They will have to do the surgery by Friday because they do not want her to lie in bed any longer than that. She will be receiving a HEMI (partial hip replacement). She will have a very extensive recovery process spending 4-5 days in the hospital, approximately 4 weeks in rehab, and then around 8 weeks at home requiring someone with her at all times.

Please keep them in your prayers!

Horton Hears A Who & Misty & Emily Do TOO!!

Brian and I went to Target last weekend and they had a huge to do about Horton Hears A Who. Well Emily was not with us but I had to get her the stuff. I told the lady that I needed some Horton stuff, and she looked at me like I had lost my mind, so I had to explain that it was for Emily and that we did not have her that weekend but I really wanted to take these home to her. She gave me a treat bag full of goodies, some coloring pages, Horton Ears, and The Cat in the Hat's Hat. We surpised Brian with our new look when he came out of the bathroom tonight. Brylee is asleep, but I know she would have heard the Who Too!!



Our little Horton had an early birthday surprise when she entered her room too. Emily has a To Do List at the house and learning to ride a bike without training wheels is at the top of the list. So guess what she got...


I will keep you posted on the progress!! She looks like she is ready to ride to me!

To pierce or not to pierce, that is the question???

To pierce or not to pierce, that is the question???

Well, I had my ears pierced at a young age and I am thinking of having Brylee Taite’s pierced soon. Everyone says that they don’t seem to hurt as badly if done at her age and she will not bother them as much.

So, I want to hear what you think? Should we pierce or wait??

Brylee can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Sunday

We went to church to watch Uncle Chance sing, and he did awesome. We love it when the youth lead the service and Luke Faulk did a wonder job with the sermon. We kept hearing how adorable Ms. Brylee Taite was in the paper and I must agree. So if you didn't get the Sunday TG here is a look at this beautiful baby girl.

Another Fabulous Weekend!

We had a busy weekend...


We gave Brylee a mohawk on Thursday I think. She kept looking in the mirror and OHHH and AHHH over herself. She knows that she ROCKS!!

We went for our GNO with the family on Saturday to Rafael's and bowling. J-Pac was rockin the shades after her surgery. NO FLASH NO FLASH. Molly came to the bowling alley and wanted to bowl so Aunt Misty gave her a few turns. She was so HA - PPY! I mean, it couldn't hurt my score, I don't think I ever broke 100.

J-Pac has a hard time following directions, she was supposed to keep her eye open so the Dr. could mark it, but instead she blinked and she cannot touch her eye. So this lovely mark is hers for the time being.

We all had a GREAT time and I am so glad we are doing this.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT JENNIFER!

Well Aunt Jennifer is officially 29 AGAIN! So Happy Birthday!

Emily is home sick and did not go to school today. She was throwing up all night, so please pray that she is better very soon.

Not a lot going on so far this week, just getting ready for Emily's party on the 9th. Hope to see you all there. I still have to mail out some invites so if you have not gotten one yet it is because I am a slacker.

My little Taiterbug is doing great, she is growing like a weed and changing every day. I just can't get enough of her. She had a mohawk this morning it was too cute.

Please keep us all in your prayers. We love you all.

Oh yeah - WELCOME BACK AUNT PATSY!

He's OK

Brian went for his follow up appt. and he is OK. The Dr. told him to cut back on his cokes and to limit his intake of chocolates and peanuts. He goes back in six weeks for a check up. The Dr. also said that it took him 34 years to create that stone and he hopes that it will be another 34+ before he has another one, if ever.
