Tonight we got news that was an answer to our prayers.  Trey's heart was healed to the affect he doesn't need surgery.  DID YOU READ THAT!!!!! TREY DOESN'T NEED SURGERY!!!!!  THANKYOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND FOR THOSE THAT FASTED FOR US!!!!

So, he still has a heart murmur, but he needed surgery because his heart was enlarged...etc. His Doctor looked at his recent x-ray (after our fast) and he thought he had the wrong x-ray. It looked like a different heart. It was no longer enlarged.  My heart is very full with gratefulness  and wowed by the miracle Trey was blessed with. It has been an emotional road for me, but the Lord gave me peace and hope through it all.  I'm grateful for Prayer, Fasting, and the Priesthood.  So, thankyou, thankyou, for your prayers and fasting and your thoughts on our behalf.  I thank God for tender mercies. Miracles do happen sometimes big sometimes small. I wonder how many miracles the Lord gives us and  we don't even see them.........I'm grateful for this one and the many others I witness in my life and others.    I'M SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!

Trey's response was priceless. When we told him his heart was healed and all the fasting and prayers were answered and that we needed to thank Heavenly Father.. Trey  fell off the couch on to his knees and started to pray thanking God for healing his heart.  Then Trey comes up to me and said, " Jesus put his hand on my heart and said MAKE YOUR HEART CLEAN."

What a special experience for our family. I'm grateful for the lessons and testimony my children (our whole family) have gained from this.

Bryanna, came home from school yesterday screaming with excitement. She won a $250 visa card. How cool is that.  She could have gotten a I-phone, but knowing she isn't allowed to have a cell phone she picked the money card.  Good choice, Bryanna.  So, now she is making big plans of what she is going to buy. Then Dad comes home and teaches the law of tithing.  It is a good reminder of how little we have to pay and how much more we are blessed with.  How grateful I am for Bryanna winning this fun reward.  She is such a good girl and a hard worker. I'm glad she can have a bit of fun...guilt free. It is the best!!!!!  Congrats Bryanna and have fun..I think she just might try to go see wicked :)

So, one of the mornings after not having much sleep Bryanna knocks on our door saying Savannah has a hair situation. Rich gets up because of the lack of sleep I've gotten. Five minutes later Rich comes in and says"You may want to come out here." This is what I found. Savannah's hair twisted all up in a small comb. We have no idea how she did it or where the beginning of her hair began. We cut up the comb to try to pull her hair out has she is crying and sometimes screaming in pain. We have no idea what to do. Will we have to send her to school with a comb in her hair:)  We cut her hair...Thank goodness the cut hair is under some long hair. How lucky is that.  All before 7:00 am.  

I know this picture should be the last in the order of things, but this is how it ended. Our sweet Trey after surgery, after he was screaming in pain, after mommy and daddy had no idea how to help their sweet boy, after the nurse gave him a very nice dose of medicine to make him go sleepy.  This is Trey's favorite picture. We really love this boy and all that he is.

So , here is Trey before his surgery to get his tonsils out. He is showing us that he is incredible hulk. Cute guy.  So, after telling the nurse that he was being Mr. sneaky and had 4 fruit loops we had to push the surgery back 4 hours. So, we started entertaining the little guy. So, here is a picture of me trying to get him to look at his daddy without moving his head just his eyes. Then it was daddy and mommy's turn. Yes, he took the picture of us. He was ordering me to look at Rich  only with my eyes. "Mom, don't move your head." Rich  and I just laughed.

TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF NO MORE NURSERY!!!!!!   Yes,  that is right Kiefer and Caleb started primary. As you can tell they were very excited and happy to be there. They even had their good friend Vance rubbing Kiefer's back giving comfort.  Is it hard to think that these boys will some day be our priests. They are a good group of boys....some of the "2000" stripling warriors if you ask me. How I love my boys. It is hard to think of them getting so big... no more babies..well...I guess you could say they will always be my babies.

So, once a year we take a trip to the mall. This year it wasn't so bad. We did bribe them. We told them that if they were good and listened they could play at the big boat. It worked for the most part. We did have to throw in some chocolate, too. They sure know how to play hard ball :)
