Happy Birthday Honey!!!

Today we celebrate my wives birthday. We wish we could be there with you, but since were not. I wanted to bring it to YOU!!
First we started with the Birthday Cookie the girls got her a BIG chocolate chip cookie that actually was still warm when they got it, I guess from what Tracey told me they already ate some of it. I bet it was the best, especially with a glass of milk. UMMMMMMUMMMMM GOOD!!!
For dinner.... If anyone knows Tracey, her favorite food to have on her birthday is Lobster!!!! I still remember the first time I got her a lobster for her birthday YEARS ago :)

That Cookie looks soooooo good!!!

Honey, I thought I was your Prince, is he going to turn into me??

Jordyn is even looking for her Prince!!!! I'm telling Justin Bieber :)

You look like he's a ferocious lion!!! He won't bite.

Boy do these things look good, Babe you did a Great Job cooking them all by yourself, I know you were scared of these ferocious Lobsters but at least you showed them who was boss.
We Love you and Miss you but soon you will be home and then You and I can sit and enjoy dinner together with a nice glass of wine!!!

This morning Jordyn wanted to make Tracey her special birthday breakfast in bed. On the menu was yogurt and a banana and an amazing note.



At the end of the day when your special day is done,and you received all your gifts and all your Happy Birthday wishes. The gift for YOU this year babe, is that you have spent it with one of the most important things in your LIFE!!! That is the "ULTIMATE GIFT"



Happy Birthday Honey,
We Love You
XOXOXOXOXO

Easter 2010

I wanted to write something about Easter this year, but it was kind of hard to put it all together. Little complicated this year but overall we made the best of it. Taylor and I did make it to church and then over Meme's and Papa's for dinner, we got to see the Tim, Amanda, Hailey, Amanda's parents and her brother it was nice and we had a very nice dinner.
I wanted everyone to enjoy the photos of Easter from us.

The last photo is of Jordyns new friend Brooke, Its such a cute picture I had to put it in. Brooke is new to St. Jude, she and her family are just a few weeks in to being diagnosed with a brain tumor they are from Orange County California.

Happy Easter!!!

Today, the meaning of Easter, for million of Christians, is that of honoring and recognizing Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, and His glorious promises of eternal life for all who believe in Him.


We wanted to wish all of our friends and family a very Happy Easter.
Our traditional egg coloring event was seperated in two different states this year but we still continue to pursue this korky craft. ITS FUN and why not have fun. Pictures below are of Taylors eggs and Jordyns eggs.
These kids are so creative and so loving these eggs are absolutely beautiful and Funny.
We love you all
Happy Easter

Sonny, Tracey, Taylor and Jordyn

Happy St Patrick's Day

How come catching a Leprechaun is so hard to do?? Poor Jordyn has been trying to catch one for years now and Taylor has just given up after her 12 years of it! Those little guys are fast!

Jordyn set up this trap with great suggestions from Sonny! Because according to Jordyn, boys are better at making such traps. So here it is........Jordyn's trap this year......Hope it works!!

While Jordyns is busy trying to catch that Leprechaun. Taylor is enjoying a St.Patricks day feast along with a Green beverage!!! Jordyn I know you said you were mad about not getting to have a Leprechaun dinner :( when you get home Mom and I will make you the best Leprechaun dinner ever.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Awaiting the Journey back Home

Each picture I look into my daughters eyes and see a million different hopes & dreams!! I also see the pain & tears that come with this journey.


I watch and see her wondering what the future holds and wondering when she will be able to go home again.


I see the want of freedom..........freedom from medicine....freedom from hospital visits.....freedom from procedures.......freedom to just be a little girl.........freedom to be able to go back home.


Yesterday was a tough day for me. Jordyn said to me " I feel so tight mommy". I asked her what she meant by that. She said " I just want to be free from these gates....I feel closed in and
I just want to go back home and be a normal girl."

I sat and thought to myself....Such powerful words from a 9 year old girl!

All she longs for is life beyond these gates.


She longs for a life of happiness with her family.

I do believe that life happens exactly how it is suppose to and how it is meant to be. I just pray everyday that God will grant my daughter freedom like a soaring dove....freedom to spread her wings.......freedom so she can be able to take the Road Back Home soon! Home to Jordyn is Happiness!!

Until then, my promise to her and my family is to remain strong, embrace each day full of love and hope, and take each day one at a time, remembering that each day is one day closer to bringing my daughter home........Home to a lifetime full of Love & Happiness!
