I know I'm a little behind but I had to post about something that I'm thankful for. Yesterday morning I woke up with a bad toothache. It was so bad it made my whole face hurt up and down my neck and around my ear. So I called the dentist office and the receptionist said she would call the  dentist to see if he could fix it that day or recommend an emergency dentist. When she called back she said he would be in his Provo office if I could get down there. So My sweet grandpa drove me all the way to Provo just to see him. And when we got there he took some xrays and said looks like you need a root canal. I was shocked!! So they numbed me up and went to work. They didn't get it all done that day, I still have to come back next week. But I was so grateful he happened to be in his office right when I called and was able to relieve most of the pain. The tooth it self is still sore but no pain anywhere else. Thank goodness!!! Just wanted to let you know I'm thankful for the dentist and my grandpa.

I just took Isaiah to the Liver Doctor this morning, and when we go we have to have labs drawn before the appt. so they can have the results. So that takes an extra hour and half because they are always backed up. And then  we arrive in the doctors office about 30 min before our appt. but have to wait and hour and half there because she's backed up as well. And then by the time we get in to the room it's almost two hours past our appt. time. And this is all so that the Physicians assistant can check him over, and the doctor can pop her head in and say.... He's a rockstar!!! In other words he's fine no changes this month. And we can go four months between appt. this time. What a sigh of relief. I always get nervous when appts. roll around you never know if they are going to send you home or send you into the hospital. It must be all the prayers in Isaiah's behalf that keep him healthy right now. That's one less worry this week. Now I can focus on Thanksgiving! Some of my extended family is not coming this year to my mom's so we have to make more of the sides our selves. We have no one to make the pies this year. I've never made pie before, how hard can it be?!? And then I have to make a birthday cake for my mother inlaws because we celebrate alot of fall birthdays. I think because my birthday is one of them I'll make red velvet cake. I Love it!!!! I hope all my friends and family who read this blog have a great Thanksgiving!!! We love you all!!!

So as some of you know we are staying with my mom right now. And she has been redoing her kitchen, living room, and dining room. But it's almost done. It should be totally finished by next week. Yea!!! I can't wait because it looks so good and there is so much counter space now. And it's good for entertaining. So My little mommies group can finally come over. We were running out of places for our kids to play because it's cold out side now. But thanks to Melisa we have been at her house all the time. I can finally take some of the responsibility off of her shoulders and let my house get trashed by the kids. (j/k) And then Jamie and I won't have to drive so far haha! And to add to my birthday week my mom and I are going to the ballet for this seasons opening night tomorrow. We have season tickets this year. I keep asking Dwayne if he wants to go but you know how football players can be, he's said no so promptly!! Which is fine with me he can put the kids to bed and I can have a girls night out, doesn't bother me. And I'm so looking forward to this holiday season on of my closest friends Allyson is coming down from Idaho for three weeks so I get to see her and her family. I haven't seen them much because they live at the top part of Idaho and they don't get down here much, but her brother is getting married in December. I love seeing old friends, and new friends. I just love my friends. It really helps to be able to talk to other girls your age and not just your four year old all the time.   Thanks again to all my wonderful friends!!!!

Birthday fun

I thought I would post today in Purple because it is my favorite color and it being my birthday week this post is mostly about me and some other too of course.!!!J/K I say birthday week because you know how people always wish you an early b-day or a belated b-day and then you get gifts all week long. Well mine started yesterday. I went to a boutique  in the morning with my mom and they had such cute stuff. I hit the jackpot!! I did by some gifts for other people. And then the whole fam went to Macaroni grill which I love. And then my mom and I went to Maceys.
They are having a huge sale, and I love there clothes. So My mom bought me some nice b-day gifts. Thanks Mom!!! Thanks to all my friends who have wished me a happy birthday all ready. So many of my friends and family have b-days  in November. My good friend Allyson's b-day is tomorrow and my moms in on the 22nd. I think that's why I love fall so much! I can't believe I'm going to be 26 yes that's my real age! This last week I had the chance to get together with some girlfriends and chat about girl things and I love the fact that I'm able to do that. I'm glad I have such good friends around me. And I miss the ones who are not. But we do have our blogs to keep in touch.So Happy Birthday to everyone who's birthday in in November, what a great month!!!!

My little man

This post is all about Isaiah. he's looks so big but he is behind in many ways. Today we had him tested by a speech language pathologist and she said that his vocabulary is missing alot of the consanants that most kids his age can say. Letters like d,p,b,m,t,h,and w. he mostly speeks using vowels so like doggie comes out oggie. And baby is ee. So this mean that when he is done with early intervention on his third birthday in January he will go right in to pre-school with the school district and have a speech therapist work with him on a daily basis. I 'm excited for him to start this new chapter in his life. But we might be sorry when he learns to talk because now he jabbers all the time, and we might not get him to shut up when he does learn. I have a song on my blog by Mark Shultz  that is called " He's my Son" and if you have time to listen to it all the way through it explains how Dwayne and I felt when we had to take Isaiah to primary's the first time for his surgery and all the tests. It's one thing if you have life threatning illness but it's another to watch your child have one. If there is one thing I can tell you about it, it is that I gained a very strong testimony at that time and greater love for our savior. Without him we wouldn't have made it through the scariest time in our lives. Not to mention our friends and family( Melisa, Heather, Evelyn, Valerie, Missy, Karen,Grandma's and Grandpa) they stepped right up to take care of Micah when I needed to be at the hospital for two months. THANK YOU GUYS!!!! We are so lucky to have people around us who love us and we love them. We count our blessing now that he's been a year and six months without a hospital stay. And he's dormant on the Liver transplant list. Doctors are baffled that he turned around so quickly , but I know it was all the praying and fasting we did. Heavenly father wanted Isaiah on this earth for a reason greater than we know. It goes to show that he is always here for us no matter what and we can always call on him. He's our constant friend and companion. We may not be where we thought we would today but we know that the lord will see us through our hard times and help us on our path to where we want to be.
