Happy Thanksgiving to everyone,

We had a lovely Thanksgiving with much to be thankful for. Emma had her 3rd birthday on the 13th on November. Pink and Horsey themed. She got a "Leap Frog", from Grandpa and Grandma Harvey, a very cute outfit from Auntie Sara and Uncle William, a Breyer horse from Ms. Yates and Dennis, a couple outfits form Grandpa and Grandma Web.,a gift card to Target from Uncle Kev., Auntie Lara, Elle, and Hans, a baby doll set and pink My Little Pony from Gma Connie and Papa Dan, a book form Gma Cheryl and Papa Deb, and from mom, dad, and sis she got a horse trailer, a truck to pull it with, and chaps. She got to go and ride Sophie on her birthday, and it was so cute because she had to wear her chaps. The pictures show the rest of her excitement, so I will let them speak for themselves.

The Thursday before Emma's birthday party, we had our trees in our front yard scheduled to be taken out, stumps drilled and everything. Well they came and fell the first tree, they were from our understanding going to lim the other three trees and take them down in chunks given the close proximity to the house. Well Matt and my dad ran over to our friends house for just a minute and I said, "It looks like they are going to take the second one all at once as well, why don't you take the girls with you and I will stay here and record it". I thought for sure that it was going to hit the house and if it had it would have gone right into the girl's room. So I am watching and I realize that they had not finished liming the tree and he was trying to fall this thing between our house and a phone line. Well one of the branches caught the phone line and so he "fixed" it and I don't know if he knew at the time if I was there or even if I recorded it but I was and I am glade because not a few min.'s after he finished "fixing" the line the other guy came knocking at our door and said, "Well we are done". I am thinking, "um no your not". The guy who got lazy apparently got scared of what he had done and just up and left. We were told that the boss would be calling us to set up a time to come a finish the job, still have not heard anything, and we still have two trees up and winter that we were expecting.

Matt had is annual hunting trip this year over Thanksgiving, but we were able to have him home in time for dinner. He did get his buck this year and we are very thankful for that. But more so we are thankful that we got him and my dad home safely for the holiday.

While they were gone, we had our fist blizzard. It was not our first snow fall but this one was significant, and we have had much more snow since. Not to mention negative temperatures that have required me to get up early to make sure the fire is going before the girls get up.

All in all things have been great. We are enjoying being home as a family and watching the snow fall while being comforted by our warm fire, hot chocolate, and each others company.

In His Love,
Anna,

Thank you to Sara Bedient, for taking Emma's birthday pictures so that I could be a part of the memories.

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...
