Happy Birthday Preston!

I really cant believe that it has been 9 years! I remember this day like it was yesterday. Preston is truely a specail boy. We had a few scares during my pregnancy...which lead to his early arrival. He was almost 4 weeks early. (That might explain why he is such a runt!!) But I really believe that it was time for him to come. After a few tests to make sure it was okay to induce, we found out that all his organs where completely developed and even his lungs where strong enough to breathe on their own. The Doctor didn't want to wait any longer. He has been such a joy to have around.
He will come up with the darndest things (but then what child doesn't) He really keeps me on my toes and laughing most of the time. Even when I should be mad at him, he just has a way of making me laugh.
I love you so much Preston and am so proud of the kind, loving kid you are. Thank you for being such a good kid, and always being willing to help me out. Your smile brightens my day, and I am so glad that Heavenly Father loved me enough to entrust me with you.
Happy Birthday Preston...I love you!

She didn't look sick to me

I just came across this picture and I found myself looking at it in awe. This is a picture of Kailey just 5 hours before she was put in the hospital. I cant believe that she looks so normal and yet she was on her way to getting sooo sick! Sometimes I wonder what the Lord has in store for this specail little girl. She has endured soooo much in her young life. Yet she wears a smile through it all. She has such a strong, loving, wonderful spirit. What a blessing she is to have in our family. I just thought I would share my thoughts...cause I am still throughly amazed at how quick she made a turn for the worse.
