Yesterday, 2Gma came through her surgery with flying colors!!! She is doing great and I spoke with her today. She sounded so good. The doctors will contact her with any other results from the removal surgery and then they will make the decision for her follow up treatment. I am so thankful that everything went so well. Thank You God for watching over her and the doctors. For those of you who kept her in your prayers, thank you so much. Every prayer is heard and answered the way God see's fit.

My Grandma Kern aka: 2Gma

I just wanted to put out a prayer request on my blog for this week. This Friday morning, March 27th, my Grandma Kern will be having breast cancer removed. It will be an out patient surgery and they don't think it is a very big tumor. They will remove all of the "cancered" area in hopes that the cancer was caught early enough. If the cells have spread, they will do a full masectomy (forgive my spelling) at that moment. She is at peace with the cancer and knows God is in control, as do all of us in our family. 2Gma is one strong lady and has faith, that all will be what God wants it to be. Selfish, I am, I don't want her (or anyone) to have cancer. I know God will take care of her and her doctors but I ask that you keep her in your prayers. Her name is Dottie Kern and she lives in Van, Tx (Tyler).

2Gma, if you are reading this, I will be calling you. We love you! XOXOXOX

Kids Today

Yesterday we had played outside until we were worn out. We even did dinner outside and dessert. It was an amazing day! After the kids came in we were talking about games on the computer. Camden had gone to look at the school we are hoping to put him in this fall. They had a computer lab and he was so excited. I decided to let him and Jadyn try out a few programs on our newer computer. The old one was taking so long, we didn't play games on it much. Anyways, for about an hour, the kids played games, spelled and "painted". They really enjoyed it and got along so well. It was fun to watch. Took a quick pic while they weren't looking :) Really it's amazing what little one's pick up on these days. I love kid friendly technology, heck, adult friendly is even better :) haha.

Geen Beens R Here

When we came home from Spring Break, all of our green bean plants had started blooming. Not anything real exciting but my kids have now decided we need to look at them every day to see if they are ready to pick! This weekend we are planting our green peppers and tomatoe plants. Fun Stuff!

Did SomeOne Call For A Plumber?

We are in Huntsville. Of course, seems like we live there huh? Well, we have been needed there, so that's where the fun pictures are coming from. Grandma Robertson is having an apartment built behind my mom and dad's house. The waterline was being put in and Camden, Dad, Chris and Mike were digging the trench to help out the plumbers since the weather finally let up. The beginning of the waterline was the deepest part of the trench. To prove how deep, Camden jumped in! It was fun for the guys to hang out with Camden along side them :) He's always a big help and keeps them laughing! P.S. Casey had to be at a track meet, so that's why he wasn't mentioned.

BIRTHDAY MIKEY!

I have been busy and haven't had my camera over the last few weeks. This is in Huntsville for Mike's birthday. Michelle made the cake but for those of you who don't know what it means, ask my family! ha. For some reason, Mike and all of us actually...had it in our minds, it was his 28th birthday. haha. Mom had to set us straight. As a joke, we put it on the cake. We had a great time and we were all together, so what better way to spend a weekend. Love you Mikey! P.S. Mike is a great golfer and LOVES playing, hence the theme of the cake :)

GaRdeNing as If I KneW HoW!

My Grandpa and Grandma Robertson were my inspiration. Growing up, I remember their gardens being so big and beautiful. Grandpa use to call me his "Number One Picker" because I loved going to the garden and picking. I was careful and appreciated all that came from it. He took much pride in both his garden and me :) Really I think he got a kick out of me wanting to do what he did. After we picked, we would wash the veggies and fruit and then get them ready with Grandma for canning. Mom reminded me today that Grandma was amazing at canning and preparing what came from the gardens. She really was good. Even in my High School Years, we had canned goods from their gardens that were "To die for".

Anyways, I won't have a garden like Grandpa's this year but if I am successful, I will expand it. It's a 3x7 above ground form and it will have only 3 veggies for now. I will plant tomatoes and green peppers. Today the seeds for green beans are going in. The kids and I have been researching and getting supplies for this small garden. This past weekend with my parents here, we got it all together and spent much time buying plants and the best dirt for this area. The kids were so excited. They haven't got it in their minds yet that it takes time to grow the veggies. (They were ready for the end product the day we planted it, ha) We are excited to tend the garden and pick it's produce when the time is right. I am sure this is so interesting to all of you, NOT, but I wanted to show my brothers what we did. ha. Wish us luck!
