Here is our sweet girl being a champ as we put her through yet another surgery.  This surgery was done to help build up her palate.  They basically take skin from the sides of her throat and attach them up near her palate.  It stops the air from leaking through her nose when she talks.   She really is such a trooper and although the surgery memories came back quickly when we were walking down the dreaded hallway and she started crying and having a hard time letting go of me, she did really well and just pushed through it all.  She had the same routine as last time, nothing but liquids for 5 days, then just soft foods for a couple weeks.  She was so good and always would ask if she could have something and even at preschool she would tell her teacher she couldn't have the snacks because she knew they weren't soft enough.  I did find her once hiding...eating some popcorn (which c'mon that's probably the worst food), but I just felt so bad for the poor th...

Josh took a darling girl to Prom and had a great time.  He started it off right by asking her with a dozen hot pink roses, balloons, candy, and a really cute puzzle that she had to put together to find out who was asking her.  Savanah said yes and the countdown was on.  After we got back from Spring Break....about 5 days before the dance....Josh casually asked if we could do the dinner at our house.   I put on my calmest smile (we were in the tux store so really I couldn't do much else) and said sure I'd love to have you and 19 of your closest friends.  And actually I begged him to let me do it for him at Homecoming but I wasn't cool enough then....not that I'm cool enough now, I just think someone else suggested it which made it totally okay.  So the race began!  I had 5 days to do decorations and figure out the meal and make sure I could get it all prepared, etc.  A couple days before the dance, Josh went downstairs and said "um...don't you thin...

This year my fabulous parents took all of us on another cruise.  It was awesome, amazing, beautiful, relaxing, and just downright fun!  The cousins absolutely love traveling together and always have such a good time.  As the kids are getting older, they seem to really take it all in and enjoy themselves.  We first caught a plane to Houston, Texas, and stayed the night. From there we traveled in style to Galveston where our ship was waiting.  When I say "in style," I really mean in style.  We totally scored big and got the PART-AY BUS!!  The kids couldn't believe their eyes.  That was the quickest hour in a car (or bus) EVER. Once we arrived in Galveston, we had a few hours to kill so a few of us decided to walk around the town.  The architecture of the old homes was so beautiful!  I could've spent much longer just exploring and touring. Wow!!!  Seriously Wow!!  I was so sad because we actually could've toured this gorgeous cast...
