Christmas!

Weekend Get-a-way!

This weekend Jason and I got to go out of town for his company Christmas party. We drove to good 'ol sin city Wendover! What an interesting place to celebrate Christmas huh?!? We stayed at the Montego Bay and had a really nice room. The company payed for dinner and then we just bummed around watching everyone gamble. I even put 7 bucks in to the penny slots. Didn't win anything but had fun playing while it lasted. It was really nice to have some alone time together. Jason even said that Wendover is good for only one thing..........buffets! j/k he really was thinking what you all were just now! Get your minds out of the gutter!!! LOL! I have been pretty stressed out and this was just the perfect thing to get my mind off things. The kids stayed at my Mom's for the night and had a good time too! Now it's time to get back to reality and finish getting ready for Christmas!

The best of the worst

~The Best of the Worst~

In March of this year I went in for a surgery that was supposed to be minor. Remove a lump on my thyroid and it would be over. Well, unfortunately that lump was cancer and my thyroid was removed. Here I am after the surgery.

My neck was sore and swollen.
But I felt relatively good, tired but good.

In April I had some radiation and was secluded from my family for 5 days. That was hard but I got through it, I even got some things done, and had some me time.

Last week it was time for the thyroid scan to see if the cancer was gone or not. Good news. The cancer is gone!!! I am truly blessed and thank my Father in Heaven for watching over me! Thanks to all of you for your prayers, thoughts and meals! I have the best family and friends any one could ask for!! Wahoo!

Breakfast with Santa!!

Daddy took the kids today to Breakfast with Santa at the fitness center by our house. Our fun neighbor Danielle called and invited us to go along with them. The kids had a lot of fun!

Jaden, Karlee's best buddy, his sister Ashli, Austin and Karlee, Danielle and Santa!

Karlee absolutely loved this puppy! Jason said she was by its side the

whole time they were there!

And finally to sit on Santa's lap and tell him your hearts desires!
Karlee wants a baby that talks and Barbies this year. Easy enough!


Austin has a list is a mile long!
He would like Bakugan's, r/c spy tank, video games, operation, and more!
This kid is going to break the bank!


Thanks to Daddy for this fun time! You are the best!

Hiney shots

This week I get to do my thyroid check up to make sure the cancer is gone. I have a crazy week of being at the hospital. Yesterday and this morning I got a shot in the hiney. Boy, does that hurt! My joints ache and my bum is sore from the injection. Tomorrow I get a small dose of radiation and then friday I get the full body scan to look for cancer. Hopefully it will turn out just fine. The hard part is being in seclusion for 3 days. I can't be within 6 feet of anyone! So, I get to live in my bedroom. Jason even has to sleep on the couch. Poor guy isn't even in trouble this time! Ha ha ha! I am hoping with my time off as a Mom I can get some things done like, santa gifts wrapped, christmas cards ready to mail and my young women lesson planned for sunday. Oh, and I get to make some gifts for my nieces, I am making these darling tule skirts for dress up! Way fun and cute!! Hopefully I will get a couple of these done. I am definitely planning on relaxing too. Thank heavens for GIANT bathtubs to soak in! I will let you know the outcome of the test as soon as I know!
