I just got a call, Shelley is on her way to Walgreens and then Home..
She said it isn't as glamourous, as some people have made it out to be..... I am sure we will hear more about this at a later Blog date.
Pray for a speedy recovery..
thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.

Still recovering
Well it is after 1.00 pm , and so far, I know she has had a cracker and some oral meds. She also has to get up and walk, and do a few more things before they let her come home.
Hopefully it won't be to much longer,I know she wants to be home and rest..Not in the hospital where they are bothering you;)

They said they will be moving her to her room in about 10 minutes
So it has been about 15 minutes, hopefully you are being moved to a room.

Chris said "Back with shelley now"
Chris said, Shelley is in a lot of pain, like she has been kicked in the stomach by a horse.

Thinking and Thanking
We are preparing a wee bit for surgery in the morning. What do I mean by preparing? Well, I have found the body wash I need to use. Not eating and going thru the rest of my pre-surgery info. We are trying to get the house in order and getting a few lose ends wrapped up. During this we are taking care of another fever. Wesley came down with a fever the end of the week and now isabelle has it. That puts a damper you know on 'getting things done'. Nothing gets done when you have a sick baby. I am trusting in The Lord that what my plans are, aren't His. He has known (forever) that i was using this week to get things caught up. He knows how distracting a sick child is and how I had a list of things to get done. He knew it would place our family to not go to church together. So I look around and see laundry to wash, clothes to put away, a bathroom to clean and floors to vacuum. He knows that and trusting FULLY and believing in His sovereignty over such a small and tiny details as these things. I do in the big, why not in the small. He reigns after all. He gives us the strength to deal with these matters and wants us to recognize we have nothing and what we get is fully from His power; His mercy and grace.
So while im thinking about all of these things, im also thinking about the things that didn't get done are getting done by others. Many friends have been asking, they are praying. They are loving on us. Thats nice. I got a great blessing to be with several girfriends the other night and all whom are praying too. These people are getting done what im not. Some are making food ahead for us, some are ready to babysit at a moments notice, some are making pudding. So you see its encouraging to see the body of Christ moving with us. While I can't get EVERYTHING done because I am one weak person and distracted with sick kids Jesus is showing me that its not all about me and others are blessing me, and my family this way. Then after all this thinking one cant help but start Thanking. Im so thankful for Chris having time off work. I dont mind its vacation because its always nice when he is with us. The kids love him being home. I dont want to use up ALL vacation on sick days but what a blessing to have them. I hope in the fall to take a real vacation! Its a blessing to have mom close. She is so great and Isabelle just adores her. Westerly, he knows he needs her, but he doesnt always enjoy loving. He see's her more as the responsible party that has to be around. Im so thankful for my sisters. They are taking care of many things. Kristy has a first dinner covered and jessica has surprise diapers on the way!
I have a Get well card already given to me and im taking that with me to the hospital! We can read it in the car on the way home if nothing else. Several gals are asking what they can do and guys are calling or in person praying with us. What a group of body of believers.
My dearest friends' mom will probably be my nurse and how great, and maybe embarrassing it is to know the nurse who will be looking after me and only wanting my best interest!
This surgery coming up in the morning has us taking the time to ponder and think. And certainly time to Thank the Lord for the work in our lives and in our family and the great group of friends He has brought into our lives. Its been such a blessing to be in contact with many friends who I dont get to talk to as much or some that have been out of contact for years. The Lord works in great ways and has His perfect and wonderful timing. All who are so supportive and encouraged I will feel better after this procedure.
Thank you guys.. you each know who you are and I hope what you mean to chris and I. Remember, If i call you over the next few days and might be a big tipsy, please call chris or my mom and tell them you have been talking to me and make sure they know! :)
I cant be held responsible from pain meds ;P
Mom is gonna keep the blog posted while im out for a few days so check in or call :)

Happy 4th Happy Birthday!
This weekend we celebrated the 4th of July, our country's birthday and independence and Christophers' birthday too. here are the photos of the weekend. (not in order)
This was Monday at the zoo. First time we've been back since Isabelle was 15/16 months old! That is almost how old westerly is!
I personally liked watching the sea lions eat.
Check out the photos from 07 and 09
After the zoo we went to America's Incredible pizza. We ate way to much!
(another photo from 07.. seems like a long time ago!)
This next photo is just one of the Westerman one day this weekend playing and being cute
Sunday after church before Auntie P and our 2 cousins came down this is how adorable he looked
Saturday the 4th we seen both fireworks from to towns. It was quite interesting how it worked out but it was fun. We went with some friends and that was a blast
Earlier that day eating some cotton candy!
Watermelon eating contest :)
Just enjoying the day
More watermelon contest!

getting caught up around the house
Here are a few things we have been able to get down around here the past few weeks. My dad is awesome and Chris is learning so much with his help. I get really motivated when mom comes down too, so that's been nice.
Here are a few things that has taken place lately.
(Starters, a girl at church gave everyone some fresh radishes.. she got a lot of abuse for it but we loved it! Isabelle like them too. )
(Westerly chowing down on raw asparagus stem. He didn't like them cooked later on)
(We made a whole evening of the antenna going up)
(chasing westerly out of the neighbors yard)
(Above: New pole to bring the antenna higher and a new antenna too)
(We just started part-time cloth diapering. Below is chris' first diaper! This is before the diaper cover)
(This morning dad came down and him and chris cut up more of the tree's from the storm that we had a few months ago and then mowed the entire yard again!)
(while the guys were outside working hard we were hardly working! J/k. Mom and I hung this group of photos. We have one missing because its participating at the Madison county 4th photo competition) Mom and I worked on printing the photos and placing them last week. I really like my black and white photos of the kids. The framing set up isnt perfectly squared but they are up! woohooo. )
(A few weeks ago chris got this rod up and the ends placed on.)
(before and after of last weekend)
(The candleabra dad and chris hung up this morning; I've only waited 5 years to get it up!)
(the shelf that took 6 hours to put together last weekend, I really like it in this room)

Funny things from this weekend
Westerly is learning to sign and he is doing well! (well considering what I expect of him)
He is signing water, please, sit, daddy and milk. He is doing some of those when he is wanting something.. like intended and not just as I ask him. Its fun!
He is also winking which is totally cute. Along with the fun things also comes the bad. He throws fits, and screams a lot. Mostly at Isabelle... and maybe rightly so but still..
(winking)
stuffing his face of Taco Salad
(He's saying SHhhhh)
Signing Daddy.. hard to tell but he is.
'One Year old!"
Milk.....
Mom came down Friday to help us set up some hulu.. we had to have something to watch!
(Below, wesley feeding his face- he at one point had all 3 pieces of cereal in his mouth)
