Alot of you probley don't know my older brother Bobby but i have an older brother named Bobby and his wife Kim. Well a few months ago Kim found out she was pregnant with their fist child and we were so happy for them Bobby has always wanted a little girl and when they found out they were having a little girl you can image how happy they were especially him!! Well about a month ago they went in for a doc appt and found out that there beuatifull baby girl has Trisomy 13. The effects of Trisomy 13 are on the baby's main organs. That one extra chromosome gives every cell in her tiny body messed up blue-prints. These babys rarely make it past their 1st birthdays and 1 and 10,000are not live births. Tha fact that she is still fighting is a miracle!!
So Far baby Grace has visually six birht defects..including an enlarged right atrium in the heart, incomplete spinal cord, and one kidney is non fuctional. She accidentally got a cell blueprint with an extra 13 chromosome.
There is beauty and purpose in everything and everything happens for a reason and i know they are strong and can handle this and i know they are going to be wonderfull parents to there little girl! She will be beautiful and we will all love her very much and i just wanted to tell them that im here for them and that i love them very much! They are very strong people and i know as a family we can get threw this! We love you baby grace keep strong for your mommy and daddy cause they love you very much!!

My funny little children...one night i was cooking dinner and all of the sudden the kids come running in the kitchen laughing and yelling and this is what they looked like haha! Poor braden in a house full of more girls then boys he doesnt have a chance haha they had so much fun playing dress up though and it was so cute!
Ok this post i am so proud of....My little Haylee brought home this paper saying that they were going to do a fun run at her school so i thought oh that would be fun and asked haylee about it and she kinda looked at me like um i dont want to do that mom but i told her how when i was little i remember i did a little run like that and i told her it would be fun.So that morning i got her all ready to go put her in shorts and sum running shoes and off to school she went...well that day i had a ton of things to do i had to go to walmart and safeway and etc etc...well danny text me at noon and says he is going to town and didnt think he would be back in time to go to haylee's run and i told him i didnt think i would either so i tell myself it probley isnt that big of deal and keep shopping well i get home at 1 05 pm and i happen to look at the paper when i walk in the door and it says haylee's run is at 1 10 and i think what a bad mom i would be if i didnt go and watch so i load marlee back in the truck and head to the school and i get there right when they take off running and im so glad i went cause haylee ended up winning 2nd place and i am so so proud of her for running her little heart out!!

Yesterday after i got out of the shower i went into the living room to check on marlee and braden well...they werent in there so i walked into my kitchen and i found braden with the scissors and him cutting marlees hair all off, at this point i started to cry and call danny not knowing what to do, i grabbed the scissors out of bradens hands and sent him to his room and picked up my little girl that had all of her hair cut off and stood there and cryed lol the amout of hair that was all over my floor was very sad! It wasnt untill after i cleand up marlee and all of the hair when i realized braden had cut his hair too. we ended up having to shave all of bradens hair off and give marlee a very short hair cut, but it still has huge chunks off the top and in the back it is so sad so i am hoping that her hair grows very fast lol. Im just very glad that nobody got hurt with the scissors. Its just another day with Braden and Marlee.........
The results........a short hair cut with uneven chunks every where and a not so happy mommy haha!! Im gunna have to put alot of bows in her hair so she doesnt look like a cute little boy lol!! I had just cut her hair in a really cute little bob to i was so upset to see her hair all cut off, but it could be worse i guess.
On Sunday we had to drive to Benson to get haylee so we thought what the heck why dont we just drive over to tombstone and eat lunch and get some ice cream! We had so much fun and the kids loved it. It was really neat to see all the old stuff that they have, after a couple hours the kids got a little restless so we decided to go before we got to look at everything we wanted to so we decided it would be a good place to go next time we get a babysitter haha! We had alot of fun though.
