Kids will say the FUNNIEST things

Okay so I have two funny stories about Trey.
First of all, we were riding home from Grandma's house the other night and out of nowhere Trey said "Daddy, when I get big can I go live with Uncle Chris in Birmigham? You know, when I become an adoot(thats Trey's word for adult)?" We thought this was so sweet! Trey LOVES his Uncle Chris.
Second, Miss Savannah took the kiddos to McDonald's after gymnastics the other day and Bess wanted more chicken nuggets, she wanted Bubba's nuggets. Miss Savannah told her she would buy her more nuggets but she could not have Bubba's. Well Bess got mad and said "No, me go slide!" Well when Bess left Trey and Miss Savannah to go slide sweet Trey looked at Miss Savannah and said "I am gonna have to talk to God and Mommy because I want a baby brother!" Miss Savannah then told him that Daddy has just a little to do with that request and so Trey then said "I am gonna talk to God, Mommy, and Daddy!"
KIDS WILL SAY THE FUNNIEST THINGS!!!

Now for recovery...

Hip surgery went well. The pain is finally subsiding and I am feeling much better. However, if you asked me yesterday while I was trying to wake up out of anesthesia I would have told you that I should have never had the surgery. I have an appointment with Dr. Walcott Thursday January 20th so I will fill you all in on exactly what he did.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

We love your life Steve Irwin

These days Trey is so fascinated with Steve Irwin. I found a VHS tape at the thrift store, bought it, and now he LOVES watching it while hanging with Grommi and Grandaddy. Just the other day I shared my Steve Irwin biography written by his wife Terri and he was so excited that he ran all the way over to show Grandaddy. Maybe this kid will be a crocodile hunter...lets hope not...but then again you gotta let them follow their dreams.

Hip surgery anxiety...

Okay so I have decided to do it. Most of you know about 8 years ago I had a car accident. After the accident I all of a sudden developed this hip/pelvic/back/leg pain. Well, years ago I went to every kind of specialist possible and nothing was found. Just recently I decided to talk to my GP about the problem. He referred me to an orthopedic...the same one I saw years ago. I went to see Dr. Barrington and he had me get an MRI. Dr. Barrington reviewed the MRI and said there is nothing there causing a problem. He also insisted this is all back related. I was a little upset to hear him once again tell me that there is no reason for me to have hip pain. He then mentions me seeing a hip specialist in his group. The next day I have an appointment with Dr. Dexter Walcott. Dr. Walcott reviews the Xrays and the MRI to find there is a possible reason for my hip pain. Hooray...I finally have someone to prove I am not imagining the pain. He recommends hip arthroscopic surgery to check things out, do a little this and a little that to hopefully relieve the pain and help me hold off on hip replacement. Yep, you read that right...hip replacement.
So, with all that said and done, I am having the outpatient surgery Thursday January 13th. Apparently the actual surgery will take about 2 hours and then once I recover I will be on my way home. He said I may be on crutches anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks.
Today I went to pre op and the whole thing started to sink in and I honestly have a little anxiety. I know I have had 2 c-sections but for some reason that seems like small potatoes. Anyways...wish me luck and I will "blog all about it" while I am home resting and recovering!

Please pray for sweet Preston Bishop

Most of you know one of my best friends, Meredith Boswell Bishop. Well, Christmas Eve she gave birth to sweet Preston Wright Bishop and he was only 28 weeks. He is currently in the NICU at Baptist South and he is doing well but please keep him as well as the entire Bishop family in your thoughts and prayers.

I have created a blog for Meredith and Ken in order to keep everyone up to date on Preston. You too can check it out at http://www.prestonbishop.blogspot.com/

New Year's Celebration!!

Happy New Year! We celebrated New Year's Eve with Lolly, Stuart, Caroline, Avery, Libby, Meredith, Ken, and Pierce. We had a great time...although it did end early! As you will see in the pictures below, we celebrated our New Year at 8:40pm instead of midnight. Surely it was midnight somewhere!

Christmas Day in Hardaway!

This year we had a wonderful Christmas Day in Hardaway. Santa came at some point in the middle of the night and Trey figured that out around 5am. He woke me up at 5am, asked me to lay with him, and then said "Santa brought me a bike!" About an hour later he came to the bed and said "Mommy, look at this superman movie Santa brought me!" When I FINALLY got out of bed I found Trey passed out on the couch and Bess started going through her loot! I convinced Bess take a shower and when we were getting in the shower she said "Mommy, me sad because me didn't get to tell him Thank You!" I then promised Bess we could call Santa and tell him Thank You! After a morning of excitement, we ate breakfast and rested. We ventured over to Grommi and Grandaddy's for dinner and more fun! Uncle Chris came to spend the night and we all had a ball! These pictures just show a little of the Christmas excitement. Trey is big into Hot Wheels and Santa brought him Criss Cross Crash. Bess is big into "nastics" so Santa brought her several nastic uniforms.
