On the Road to Recovery!

My brother is such an amazing person. He is the most optimistic person I have ever met. He finds the good in everything. He has been able to be so positive through this whole process, even though it has been the toughest and most painful thing he has gone through. He started chemo three weeks ago and got his bone marrow transplant(this was such a blessing to find a donor) a week after that. They have had to keep giving him chemo through out the process. Today is such a HAPPY day!! He was suppose to have his last dose of chemo, which causes all of the pain, but they found out that the engraftment has already started! He is ahead of schedule, SO NO MORE CHEMO! WAHOOOOO...!! We are all so happy about this, because now he can just start healing. He still has a long road, but this is such good news I had to share.

I love my brother, he has always been such an example to me. There are many times that I feel like I am the little sister. I look up to him so much. I am so proud of him and it has been killing me that I haven't been able to be there through any of this. I am just thankful that I have been able to talk to him on the computer and phone.

I love you Blakie! Things are looking GREAT!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!

This has been his friend through it all! They say at night it looks like a Christmas tree.

Kenslee is 4!

Our little Girl turned 4! It has been such a wonderful 4 years of being a mom to my sweet girl. She is full of life! It is so much fun and sometimes very tiring hanging out with her all day. She is so happy, loving, helpful, sweet, and pretty intense at times. Thanks for being my best little buddy, I love you sugar plum!!

We had a princess party while we were in Utah. Kens was so glad Emma could be there so that she had a princess to join her.

I made a Cinderella cake for Kens, with the help of Billy's sisters. It turned out really cute. I was a little impatient and didn't wait long enough for the cake to cool, so when we put the frosting on the skirt it started to drip off. Oh well, it still looked great!
Singing happy birthday!

Another birthday cake!
Happy birthday!! She got a dollhouse.

Kens has a friend who's birthday is a week before hers, so we decided to do a joint friend birthday party. It was SO much fun. We did it at Boomerangs. The kids loved it!

Kens and Millie

Baby #3...

We are so excited! We can't wait to add another little one to our family. Kens is sure she is going to be getting a little sister. In a few weeks we will get to find out if she is right. I am 11 weeks, so this little one will be joining us at the end of August. We feel so blessed!!

I am starting to feel much better. I just have a few more weeks until the first trimester is over! There has been NO chicken, and NO eggs allowed in my house. I am hoping that they will be able to return soon, but as of right now BLAH! Every weekend when we are trying to decide where we should go out to eat, Billy thinks he is so funny and says Chick-fil-A. One of these times he really might regret making that comment.

On the Mend...

It has been a week full of sickness, crying, no sleep and lots of drugs. I am SO happy to say things are getting better! YAY!! In a few days I think we should be back to normal and be able to get out of our little cave. I am starting to get a little nervous about Kenslee's ears though. She still can't hear. It is gettting old having to repeat myself and yell. There have been some funny confusions. There are a couple I can remember right now. Billy and Kens were saying her prayers before bed, and Billy said, "please bless Uncle Blakie". She repeated, "please bless my blankie." Billy looked at her and said no, Uncle Blakie. She started to laugh and said, oh I thought you said my blankie!

The other day I asked her if she wanted to dance to princess music. She looked at me and said, "NO, why would I dance to Christmas music." Oh, our poor little girl. I hope her ears get better. If she can't hear by next week I think I will have to take her in to get them checked out.

HAPPY 6 YEARS!

It has been 6 AMAZING years!! It is so fun to look back at pictures from 6 years ago. It has gone by so fast! We have had so many adventures and experiences together. I am so lucky to have Billy in my life and have him for all time and eternity. I love you babe! Thanks for EVERYTHING!

This was our very first date. (thanks Jess for the big introduction :) )
We seriously made a count down chain after we got engaged!
