Extremeists and much more...

Mom, Talmage and myself chillin' with the new do's!

The last couple weeks have been good ones. As you can see, my mother and I did real extreme things to ourselves. My mom is surfer yellow and mine, well, it is gone. Yes, people I cut it off! I love it. 5 minutes is all it takes for me to do it. So thank you, Kandiss. I am glad you didn't tell me no. I think my mom and I did it due the stress that is in our life's. She decided that she was going go to go out with a bang before she is bald. I like it.

Besides all that we had my sister and her 3 kids here for a week. I finally got to hold my cute nephew, Talmage. He is such a good baby. The only thing we did was swim and go to Grandma Greats. Not all that exciting but it was so nice to have my sister here.

We also got to go to Pirate Island Pizza again. Cash loves it except when the lighting and thunder go off. He doesn't like it to much. We also got to go to Town Square and my daughter was so fun to watch. She loves the water as much as Cash does. When we went swimming Kandiss put wings on Gabby and she floated. They were huge on her but she did it. Cash was crazy in the water. He thinks he can swim without muscles. Even though he did learn some things in swim lessons he didn't learn to float.

What a stud, Cashman!

It was really nice because my family had a moment before my mom starts chemo on Wednesday. I love that we were all together. I love my family and the time we spend together. It is very hard to have Kandiss and her kids so far away. I am very grateful to them and the support they offer me. I am having a very hard time with all the stuff going on.

CharChar and her poor leg.

It has been really rough the last couple years. I hope that we will be able to catch a break after my mom's treatments. But who knows? Only time will tell. I love my two beautiful children. They give me so much happiness and joy. Even though it is hard and my daughter is a Crazy woman and keeps me on my toes all the time. I wouldn't give them up for anything. They are my reminder that goodness and happiness come in very small packages. (Oh yeah, CharChar and her poor leg. She chewed off the cast at 5 weeks and they put a splint on that was suppose to be on for 7-10 days. It lasted for 5. Her leg is double the size as her other and she has sores from the cast. She is doing okay but a slow recovery.)

Cash is 3!

Cash, the day he was born!

I am so sad and glad at the same time. My baby boy is now 3! He has grown up so much. He was born on the 3rd of August at 4:20 am. He was 8 lbs. 3oz. He spent he first 3 days of life in the NICU. And he was know as the "DUH" boy for the face he always pulled. He now has become a boy with a huge smile and a gentle heart. He is a boy with NO FEAR of anything. I have had the joy of carrying him for 9 months and he has warmed my heart for the last 3 years. I know that he will continue to do it for many more years to come.

We had the chance to celebrate his birthday twice. Once with Ben's family and the other with mine. We went to Ben's parents house on Saturday and bbq hot dogs and hamburgers. It was a good time to have everyone there. Cash got so many presents. I thank everyone who got him something. It has been a really awesome week because he hasn't gotten bored with all the new toys.

On Tuesday, we went to Pirate Island Pizza with my family. He loved it. He went nuts! We played all the games and he loved the car racing game. Gabby tried to climb up the skeeter ball game. Crazy girl. He got lots of "CHOO-CHOOS" from Nanna and Papa. We had a good time.

The other day I went through pictures of him and cried. He has grown up so fast.Daddy and Cash racing cars.

The joy he has brought into my life and others. He has a smile that goes for miles! He warms every one's heart that he comes in contact with. I am so very proud he is my son. We love you with all our hearts. So with that HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CASHMAN!
