Our Christmas Tree 2009.
Well it is that time of the year that only adds to the already crazy life of ours. But none the less it is all worth it and so much fun. We had a wonderful time with my Dad, Mom, and brother over Christmas and then we had the Wade Family over for New Years.

My parents got here on the Wednesday before Christmas, my Dad helped Matt to put in our wood burning stove. We are so thankful that we got it in. I am hoping that it will help with the electric bill. And it is so nice to have a fire on a cold dreary day. My brother, Chris came Christmas Eve day just in time for the Christmas movie and chillie. This Christmas was a lot of fun because Emma is really getting it to the whole present thing. But she really liked talking about and looking at our Christmas books that are about "Baby Jesus", as she would say.

They didn't get there until Friday early afternoon, but stayed until Sunday after church. It was so much fun having them. Matt came up to me in the kitchen and said, " I love having them here, and hearing the kids running around and playing it great. We should have them over more often." It was so relaxing and fun just to spend so quality time with a great family, playing games, eating food, and having fellowship. We exchanged Christmas gifts while they were here and it was a lot of fun. We gave Deanna a girlie goody box, McKenzie got to help Matt build a practice balance been, Allison got my old piano books from when I was just learning how to play, and Caleb got a CAT steam roller. They gave Emma a Play Dough Kitchen, and Hailey got a really cute puppy.

Over all we had a wonderful Christmas and New Years, now Matt is gone for two weeks to Ft. Rilea, OR. He has training there for work. So the girls and I are going to enjoy some quiet time after our busy holiday season.

In His Love,
Anna

If its a Good day make it Great day!!

I have 2 rounds of Chemo now, this first week after treatment seems to be the worst. The nausia isn't too bad, they have given me a lot of diffrent tools to help with that. I do suffer from exterime ecaustion, a kind that is like nothing I have really never had before. Well maybe combind a really bad hangover and a newbron baby. Yeah that is close. My body feel very heavey and I know that my insides are working overtime. After my first round my boys came berrling out of the house sayting that they were ready to be my bald budies, so tht next morning we did just that. With Hannah's help we came up with a very fun head cover. The second week is much better and I feel much more like myself and can do more things. I try to do what I can but I have a wonderful support system that is always keeping thier eye on me and will to step in at any given moment. I have been so humbeld by all the love a support that I ahve been getting. I trully am so blessed. I wonderful thing h...

Big Changes!

Where to start? I had my CT scan and my full body bone scan, and both came back clean!! Praise Jesus! So that being said I am at a stage 3 and nothing has changed. The cancer is all in my right breast and no where else. I meet with my oncology Dr. tomorrow to figure out all of my chimo stull. I will be getting a port and I belive my schedule will be a 3 on 4 off, but I will find out more tomorrow. I would like to thank everyone who has provided food, help, contunide prayers, love, and support. There are so many that I would need a book to get all of you listed. You all are loved so much, ans so appriciated. This week we got to have family pictures taken, the day after that I took William with me to get my hair cut. He was having a hard time with the idea of me being bald. Well he handdelt it will, so well that he said, "Mommy you can hold my hand, it will be ok". Oh this boy of mine. I love his tender heart so much. He could see I was having a hard time with it ...

Endurance, Perseverance, Hope...

As many of you know, our two oldest children were blessed with the opportunity to go to the Diamond J Rodeo Camp. This is their second year, but it feels like it has been a life time. I was really hoping and praying that I would be able to go and was thinking that I was going to have to miss is this year. It brings so much joy to not only to our children but to me. I leave there filling filled with the Holy Spirt. The relationships you gain while there are lifelong ones. I truly consider them family. That all being said I was able to go and the girls grew in both their rodeo skills as in the relationship with Christ. God truly has a way of speaking through people and there were many times that I felt that He was speaking directly to me. On the last night, Pastor Al had asked us to close our eyes in preparation to pray, then said, " Now look at yourself" I did, and to my surprise I saw a beautiful version of myself. I thought to myself this must be how God sees me. I...
