Guess who stopped by to help me transplant monkey grass this afternoon?

It’s Corey… Julie’s hubbie. He was my (and Matt’s) friend before he was Mr. Julie and he stopped by while Julie was at her sister’s house swimming. He thought it would be funny for me to post this picture, because he hadn’t mentioned he came by. The funny part is that Julie said my pictures load slowly so she just saw the caption and wondered who it was…

It’s not only Amanda’s (OhAmanda) birthday, she is also finding out what kind of baby she has cooking in her tummy… pink or blue? She has a fun contest going on over at her blog so head over and guess what it is.

I took Izzy to Bear this morning and now we have to hurry and get her fed and ready for school!

I got to visit with Julie for a little bit this morning and hope to see her when she visits OK for Memorial Day…

Miki got home from Mexico late late last night after flight delays! I’m glad she’s back!

I have a hair appointment at 5:30 p.m. today, nothing drastic… just the usual. I heart Jill!

Ok, that’s all for now.

One more thing…  guess what I just ordered from Amazon?

I hope it’s as good as all you guys have been saying!

Okay Nancy Face…
What do you have most in common with:
Matt? our faith
Amanda? our looks (or so they say)
Bailey? we look at things in a very similar way.
Emelia? our personalities are both very choleric… (we’re bossy!)
Izzy? We both love to snuggle.

Is there a movie you can watch over and over again and never get tired of it? I love footloose and fried green tomatoes… I think I’ve seen them a hundred times. Oh and Beaches.

Do you like to sing in the shower? No, I am a quiet shower taker… however…
In your vehicle? I can belt out a tune while listening to music in the car!

Judi,
You asked… “What would you say to someone who seriously questioned your faith regarding Izzy’s healing?” I would say, “I believe God over you, my God is bigger and more powerful than any person or anything a person can say.”

Mel’s World asked… “If you could do anything in the world and money and time were not an object, what would you do?”
TRAVEL! I would visit all my blog friends scattered all over this big wide world! Wouldn’t that be fun?

Dena! You asked… “How’s Izzy doing?”
She is doing so good! Matt put up a bell beside her bed night before last. She was awake but still in bed as he was getting ready for work yesterday so he told her to ring the bell when she was ready to get up and he didn’t take two steps out of the room and we heard the bell! LOUD. We were both so excited.

Jodi I hope we get to meet someday soon!

Hi Karen! (so glad you’re back home!)
The kid’s middle names are Jane (after Matt’s aunt and sister), Bailey (my maiden name and he uses this name), Rae (after Matt’s mom), and Renee (after my mom)… I don’t really have plans for 2008 holiday… I am recovering from 2007’s holiday lol )

I think that’s all of them… whew that was even painless!

Some latecomers chimed in…

Gail asked,

What’s your favorite food? It changes from time to time, but I love my mom’s weiner schnitzel and homemade rolls…
What’s a typical day like for you? busy. getting kids to school, matt to work, taking care of Iz then getting her to school and/or any therapies, kids come home, start supper, do therapy, take kids to activities, take care of Iz, with laundry and other things spread around throughout the day. OH and blogging too!
How would you spend a day without the kids? I’d probably shop all day, just walk around the mall and then have a long lunch with a friend… make it worthwhile and get my eyebrows waxed and toenails done.
What’s your favorite color?I love ivory and shades of white… and pink. I also like green, like my peridot birthstone.

Zam wanted to know what the worst thing you ever did in your life? Or what’s the worst thing you did as a parent?
Yikes Zenaida! I only thought it was painless )! Worst thing, worst thing… hmmm… probably that I  turned away from God and held unforgiveness in my heart which I believe ultimately led to Izzy’s near drowning. I think that could be the answer for both questions…

Karen gave me this adorably sweet bloggy award. Thanks Karen!!!

I spent the evening with my old pal Mendy! We had such a nice visit and got to catch up on all our girl talk … I haven’t talked to her in so long! We went to Logan’s and I blew my ww diet… but it’s okay, I get 35 bonus points per week and I didn’t go over that for sure. I only ate half my burger… It was so good. We walked around Kohls and mendy found tons of bargains. I found a few cute valentine things and candles.
