My Mom's Birthday

Sunday was my mom's birthday...

I just have to share this with you. Yes, I am a dork, and realized 1/2 way through that the video doesn't respond well to the camera turned sideways...

Our family has a long lasting traditon of singing "happy birthday" loudly... we used to call it, Fiec**er style, as this is how my mom's family always sang it! We decided that this had to be one of the loudest ever! Oh, and see how all the kids are gathering around for a picture! All that is missing are my book-ends... James was not here, and Kiahna was standing by me refusing to join them...

It was loud!

My mom is amazing! She is full time grandma! Always available to help us out... many times taken for granted...

SO TODAY THIS POST IS FOR YOU MOM!! We love you!! We can't imagine life without you! We are so blessed to have you!! Your impact on our lives does not go unnoticed... just thought you should know... becuase I am sure, living through raising my own kids now, and knowing how kids are, there were many times you wondered... it is worth it!

Thanks mom!

Pam

Zach is 17. He is a junior in high school. Playing football, basketball, & running track. He is a hurting kid with a chip on his shoulder & an attitude to keep people at bay. He has a great heart under all the pain, I hurt so bad for him & desire to see God bring healing into Zach's life. I believe that God will do that, I just fear the chapters that it will take to get to that point. I told him recently he has so much talent, brains & charisma... and satan is stealing it away. Lots of prayer time going into this one... I turn to worry way too easily.

Kiahna Grace is my baby. She is 6 years old & is in first grade. Kiahna loves to help mommy, cheerleading, her dogs & cats, & riding her bike. We adopted her through private adoption at birth, also. We recently recieved a FAES diagnosis for Kiahna, which means she was exposed to drugs or alcohol while she was in the womb, causing some degree of brain damage. As we learn more about this disability life is a little uncertian once again. We are searching and praying for miracles and answers in Kiahna's life. Praising God for the ones we've seen & the ones still to come!
