Dress-Up & Mess-Up !!

"How funky is your chicken....how loose is your goose""

Boogie sister!!

My 3 little ballerina's

Love the snow boots- what a look!

Look at this mess!


I told Hannah and Hadley to go clean there room and this is what I found them doing...... playing dress-up! Hope included of course. I think they trashed the room worse than it was to begin with. Hope just follows them around like a puppy. She so wants to be a big girl like them. I am ready for school to start so my house will be clean again, but oh how I enjoy seeing them play and get along together so good.

Hope- 20 mos

Our little baby girl is growing up. She turned 20 months today. I can't believe in 4 months she will be 2. We are so thankful to have you in our life Hope. You are truely a blessing from God. Everyday I see more and more personality coming out. And quite the little stinker I might add. We love you Hope!!

Prayers For Georgeann

I got a call from my cousin Georgeann last week. She had a knot come up above her collar bone a few weeks ago. Her doctor sent her in for a scan and a biopsy. Today she learned she has Hodgkins Disease. The same type of cancer I had 2 1/2 years ago. They say that Hodgkins hasn't been genetically linked and they think its environmentally caused. It's weird how we both have so many health issues in common....makes me wonder if it really is in the genetics. I hope and pray everything goes well. She has a lot ahead of her but she'll do great. We love you Georgie and are praying for God to heal you. We are here if you need anything...ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING!!!!!

Festival of Homes

I just got back from Norman late last night. My mom and I got the Show House kitchen all decorated for the Festival tour. It's the same as the Parade of Homes here in the BA/Tulsa area. We(The Tulip Tree) were asked to decorate the kitchen. We were so excited to do it. We are so proud to have been asked. We got to showcase some of our merchandise as well as get lots of advertisement out of it. All it cost us was our time and effort. I personally think it looks great. Hope we get asked again next year. Here's a few pics.

Pray for Gavin

I just got an e-mail this afternoon about Gavin. He is a little heart baby like Hope. He has HLHS and has had 2 heart surgeries already and at least 1 more to go. He has also been diagnosed with epilepsy. He had a seizure last night and was really swollen today. His parents are on their way to OKC to OU Childrens Medical Center. He may have to have a heart cath to see what is going on. Please say a prayer for Gavin and his family. I hope everything turns out ok. If you check under my links you can see his blog.

Congratulations Zack & Brandy!

(Christian, Gracie, Zack, Kagan, Brandy & Kyan)
Congratulations to my brother Zachary and his new family. Christian and Gracie welcome their new step-mom Brandy, step-brother Kyan and step-sister Kagan. We wish you happy life together. Welcome to our family!!!

Prayer Request.....

I am going in for a PET scan tomorrow. It's been 6 months since my last scan. I always get a little nervous when these scans come around.....hoping the cancer hasn't come back. I've been in remission 3 years this coming October. If I can get to the 5 year mark more than likely it won't recurr. Please send your prayers my way. Thanks!!!

We had a great time over the weekend. The girls
all enjoyed spending the night at the hotel and swim-
ming at the pool. Had a great time with the whole
family at Gaga and Papa's house. We watched fire-
works and the kids all played and had a great time.
Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!!!
