Is it over yet?

Is it over yet?  The Month of November I mean?  If the phone rings with more news of another death in the family I'm not sure my mom can take it.  I recently read my sister-in-law Shilo's blog and she was saying how much she enjoyed the month of November, but I guess if you have pleasant things to associate a month with it would make it better.  The only pleasant thing in my month of November was the birth of my son two years ago, other than that there has been a death in the month of November.
This year there were two...  my mom's cousin who is only 10 years older than she is had a heart attack on the 13th.  Then when my parents returned from that funeral in California my mom got a call from her sister the Saturday after Thanksgiving saying that their Aunt Ophelia had died on Thanksgiving.  My mom's boss thought she was lying when she told him, who makes things like that up?  I guess there are people who would, but I just can't imagine.
Yesterday was the funeral of my great aunt Ophelia in Texas, and the anniversary of my grandpa's death.  It must of been a Thrasher Reunion in Heaven yesterday, afterall- there's only 2 out of 12 kids still living.
3 more days.....

truckapalooza 2012--aka Happy Birthday Carson

On Saturday the 10th my baby turned 2, and it was crazy!  We threw him a truck birthday and there were no two trucks alike at that party!  For a week it's been nothing but trucks galore all over the place, poor Corby's even come up from the basement to find a few still one at 5:30 when he's left for work!
It was a hit to say the least, thank you to everyone who came and to those who came from far away.  It was great to see neighbors we hadn't seen in a while.  Great Grandpa Merchant's Tonka truck has been the big hit, because aside from the car transporter from Aunt Kami and Uncle Mark it has the most cargo hold.

Check out the pictures from Truckapalooza 2012

OH What a night!

Little man will turn two

Okay, so not posting all October means That you get three posts today.  I can't believe in five days my little man will be two!  I ordered my truck lover his cake and couldn't believe that just two trucks come with the kit I bought, so I guess I will be convincing his daddy to drive me to wal-mart to get more to put more on the cake.

When did this little guy goes from this baby to this little independent guy running around at his aunt's wedding?

Let's review October Shall we 2

So we posted about Kami's wedding and apparently I've been away from blogging for awhile and have forgotten how to post multiple pictures. 
A week ago today, I had surgery to help with the multiple seizures I was experiencing.  Since the surgery I've had two I'm still not sleeping all that well at night which means I'm probably having them at night still.

Halloween was fun, I missed going out with Corby and Carson around the neighborhood, but two days post op- meant I got to help pass out candy while Corby and PopPop took Carson.

Here are some pictures of me and my lion before he went...

Let's review October shall we

October consisted of three things for me this year...
My sister- in- law Kami's wedding-- check
vagal nerve stimulation implation-- check
and
Halloween-- Check

The first I worried about the most to tell ya the truth, simply because I was having so many seizures and I didn't want to embarrass her on her big day, but as luck would have it I had six the day before and NONE the day of but I did have 4 the day after. 
The wedding was beautiful Kami and I am glad that you and Mark made it home from Rome Safely.
