Brad and I recently went to Gulf Shores with our friends Bryan and Kerri. We had a WONDERFUL time. We didn't get the camera out much, but here are a couple of pictures...

Christy Howe Vance
Christy has been like a big sister to me since I was about 8 years old. She is a strong Christian example who stays positive no matter what her circumstances are. She was diagnosed with cancer and is now in remission but because of complications from past surgeries she has been diagnosed with gastroparesis. (Because of nerve damage , her stomach and small intestine are paralyzed). Christy is on a strictly liquid diet & on a waiting list for a gastric pacemaker at UMC in Jackson, MS. She recently found out she has been moved up on the list and she will have the procedure next Thursday. Christy's insurance company will not authorize this procedure so some of her church community friends are doing a fundraiser in her honor-they are selling really cute t-shirts. You can view them and more about Christy at this site: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/christyvance. Some of you who don't know Christy may know Michelle her sister. Michelle has a 2 year old and a two MONTH old and her husband Chris was just deployed to Iraq for 16 months. Please be in prayer for Christy, her husband Joe, and their three children: Allie, Caleb, and Drew. Also remember Christy and Michelle's parents who are struggling to try to help both daughters during this time.

Home Improvement
My little "Tim the toolman Taylor" aka Brad Vickers has been busy around the house. In the last three weeks he has built a fence by himself and built and hung shutters. Here are some before/after pics...
Happy Birthday, Laken!!
Here are some of my favorite pictures of Laken through the years. I can't believe she is 12!! She is still really sweet-not sure Brad and I deserve that : ) We like to extend birthdays around our house. Yesterday was the actual birthday. She opened gifts (got a new camera-maybe she'll start a blog!!), brought cookies to classmates, then went to Mugshots with us and my parents and my sister's family were in town so they joined us-which is a gift in itself since she hasn't seen them for her birthday since she turned 5!! Then she has invited 15 girls to join us at her favorite Mexican restaurant to celebrate her birthday this Friday night. I'll post some pics of that later.

Addy on the Hunt!!
Although, this is actually Addyson's second Easter, it is the first Easter she was aware of eggs, bunnies, baskets, etc. As you can see she had her own little way of hunting(pull egg apart, throw egg, chase or be chased, grab basket and start over with new egg), but she had fun regardless, and we had fun watching...
