I NEED MAKEUP!

Last weekend I was getting ready to go grocery shopping. Carlie was at her Granny's and Rick was at work. I think I went to brush my teeth or something in the bathroom and I left my makeup bag in the living room by mistake. I walked back in there to grab it and this is what I saw...

You may have to click on the picture to make it bigger but she had put mascara on and something on her right cheek. I don't know if it is foundation or eyeshaddow. I took a picture, then took the makeup away. Jacelyn just kept yelling and screaming "I need it Mommy! I Need makeup!!!" over and over! haha. I couldn't do anything but laugh! If you look closely at her right eye (left on the screen) you can see that the white of her eye is red. I'm guessing that she stabbed herself with the mascara although she never cried. It was red for a good 2 hours though!

Jacelyn singing her ABC's.

My father in law has a Bing Crosby doll that sings different songs. While Rick and Jacelyn were on a visit, FIL started singing the ABC's to the tune of one of the songs (The name escapes me right now). Jacelyn, being the imitator that she is, decided that she could also do an impersonation of Bing Crosby's version of the ABC's.

Pumpkin Patch and Hayride Filled Weekend

Here are tons of pictures from our pumpkin patch/hayride trip on Saturday and then our hayride/fall festival with friends on Sunday. Sunday's pictures are first, sorry.

My new Tattoo!

After almost 2 1/2 years of debating what to get and where to get it, I finally got my Jacelyn tattoo!!! I got it on the top of my foot. It hurt, but wasn't too bad. I love it so much and so does Jacelyn. She tells everyone she sees about it and that it says her name! (Please excuse my foot. It's swolen and it looks dirty but it's actually the tattoo ink and A&D ointment)

I have told a few close friends/family about it and they say "Well what about a tattoo for Carlie?" I've actually had one for 4 years with her name that I guess people have forgotten about. Here it is so she's not left out too. (It's on my lower back)

Amish Friendship Bread-Part II

Sooo I forgot to take a picture of the finished product but let me tell you, it was GOOOOOD! I added a tad bit more cinnamon and a handful of raisins. If someone gives you a starter kit then I highly reccommend that you follow through and bake the bread. It was the perfect fall season flavor!

**UPDATE*** On Trae

He ended up staying overnight "for observation" last night. The doctor hasn't come back by this morning so they're not sure if they get to go home today. Every time they take him off of the IV fluids, he gets lethargic within about 10 minutes. For some reason, he keeps getting dehydrated even though his body should be full of fluids! He is just really, really weak. They came in to draw blood this morning. As of yesterday, his white blood cells are in a normal range so no infection. The X-Ray showed that his appendix looked fine. He hasn't had a bowel movement in 5 or 6 days but then at 3am yesterday morning, he had major blow out diarrhea. My other sisters son had this same exact thing happen about a year ago. They thought he had food poisoning because he was throwing up and his belly hurt. He hadn't gone #2 in quite a while. They ended up at the hospital with everything showing up fine. Kept them overnight just to be safe. The doctor came in the next morning and said they were doing emergency surgery because his bowels were abscessed. When they opened him up, they realized that his appendix had ruptured but sealed itself off. Some of the toxins had been released into his body and he had a major obstruction in his bowels. Another thing that I was thinking is that another sister (I have 3) keeps Jacelyn, Trae, and two other kids during the day and the other 3 children aren't sick at all. If this was a viral infection, wouldn't you think the other kids would already have it? He's been sick for 4 1/2 days!

My Nanny is going to have a biopsy done on Tuesday to just rule cancer out.

Thank ya'll so much for keeping my family in your prayers. It seems like there is always something going on huh?

Please pray for my nephew!

My nephew that just turned 4 on the 18th of Sept. has been throwing up since Monday night. My sister finally took him to the doctor yesterday (Wednesday) after realizing that this "bug" wasn't going away. He was a little lethargic when they got there but after some pop sickles he seemed to be doing better. My sister and the nurse were talking and they were getting ready to leave when he went from being his normal self, to falling asleep. This is NOT like him. He is the hardest kid to put to sleep. They said his body just went lifeless. The nurse told my sister that they weren't going anywhere and that he was dehydrated. They hooked him up to IV fluids for a few hours and they were sent home with the iv catheter still in. They went back today and he was STILL dehydrated and when they push on his belly, he screams. They seem to think it could be his appendix and could be sending him to Children's Hospital. Please, Please, Please pray that he's okay!

On another note, please also pray for my Nanny. She had a mammogram 4 months ago and they found a few calcium deposits. She just went back for her follow up and said they hadn't grown any and was told to go back in another 4 months. The hospital just called my mom because they couldn't find my Nanny's number. My mom told them that if it's bad news that would worry my Nanny to wait to call until after my Pop got home. The lady said she would wait...which means it's bad news. Keep her in your prayers as well. She had either ovarian or uterine cancer a few years ago and my Pop just finished his chemo from Lymphoma a few months ago. ***Update*** Apparently, the doctor gave my Nanny good news that the spots hadn't changed but the more the doctor looked at them, the more she second guessed herself and wants to do a biopsy. My Nanny is terrified of getting the biopsy done so hopefully they can talk her into it.
