Craziness!!

This is just a quick update on what's going on with our family. Tomorrow, Friday, May 29, Hannah's picture will be on "facebook Friday" on Six in the Morning (around 7:40). I posted a note on their fan page, along with a picture of Hannah, and I got a message saying they wanted to use my post and her picture. This weekend our family, featuring Hannah, will be on the Children's Miracle Network Telethon on OKC channel KOCO during the 1:00 -2:00 hour. She will be doing a "welcome", then we will be interviewed during the hour telling Hannah's story and how Children's hospital played a part. Hannah is also going to be interviewed on Channel 2's mid-day program on June 15. That is Tulsa KJRH. That will be the day after the Endeavor Games, and hopefully we will have some video of her participating to show in the air.

Later that week, we are hoping to be able to go down to the Dallas area and spend a couple days with Cody McCasland. Cody is one of Hannah's friends we met last year at CAF. Cody was recently featured on Dateline NBC. The links to that interview can be found here: www.teamcody.com Go to the page that says "Cody Sightings", and all the links are there.

Please keep us in your prayers over the next couple of weeks. It's going to be pure chaos. This weekend OKC, (we were just there yesterday), next weekend to Louisiana, then the next week is the Endeavor Games. Oh, and don't forget birthdays for my three girls - Dawn the 30th, Hannah the 2nd, and Alexis the 7th.

Please pray for our traveling safety - and sanity.

Mother's Day

I woke up to a very nice surprise yesterday. Michael was home! He had told me he wouldn't be able to make it because he had to work. Well, I was awakened by Hannah poking me in the hiney, and saying "Bubba's home." I immediately went in to check, and sure enough, Michael was home. I already knew Dawn and JJ would be at church, so that just capped it off.

We had a fantastic church service, then we went to Chili's for lunch. After we all sufficiently stuffed ourselves, we came home for picture time. Got a couple good pictures of all of the kids together, and a decent one of all eight of us.
After pictures, the older kids watched the three younger ones, and John and I had a date. First off to the AT&T store to pick up my gift - an iPhone. I didn't realize that if it wasn't time for an upgrade, the phone is $400. Needless to say, I didn't get the phone. I guess I will have to wait until December. That wouldn't be so bad if my Blackberry would quit acting goofy. I don't know if it's the phone, the BB software, or the service provider, but it's really getting on my nerves.


After we left the store, we went to Muskogee to see "17 Again". John had told me we could go to any movie I wanted, he was in for a good "chick flick". Well, it was - a chick flick. It was cute, but not so sure about how good it was. With a theater of about eight people, John was the only guy. Oh well. He asked for it. I have a great husband.

Hope everyone had a great day!
