Good Friends are hard to come by..we a BLESSED!!

We had a ton of rocks delivered last week, and Scott had planned on getting it all spread out in the backyard, but with Kims passing the rocks could and would wait. Well Scott got a phone call a couple of days ago from his good friend Austin (they work on the fire dept together) that he would be here Monday morning with about 8 to 10 guys to take care of it for him, and anything else we may have needed. It really touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes as Scott told me what they had planned. I know we have the best group of love and support that anyone could ever have. Well instead of sitting here blogging about it, Im going to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy watching a bunch of cute sweaty firemen moving rock in my backyard! Wonder if they will notice me taking pictures!! LOL

Kim Miller Gwaltney

This morning Scott and I sit here with heavy hearts. Yesterday we lost Kim, she fought long and hard against her battle with colon cancer stage 4. She is one of the strongest women I will ever know. She never lost her faith, she said she was going to beat it and she did, she is cancer free and watching over her family. There will be many sad days, but we need to remember all the good times that we shared with her. We Gwaltneys are strong, and are so lucky to have the support and love of all of our friends and family. Kim story touched so many people, and If Kim can safe one person by getting a colonoscopy then I know she would be happy. You are a beautiful angel now pickle puss, please watch over us and we love you!!

party time

Today we went to Ki ki's 6th birthday, it was bittersweet..nice to be able to go to her birthday party, but with Kim still in the hospital it just wasn't the same without her. Hopefully she will get to come home very soon, she is very strong, and has a wonderful attitude and very determined to kick cancers butt and if anyone can I know SHE can!! There were so many wonderful friends there who all pitched in to make this day special for Ki Ki. Jaden and Landyn also received some really neat presents from Aunt Karrie and Aunt Kathy for their birthdays..Thanks so much I know the girls really appreciate it!! I really wish I had pictures but I walked out the door without my camera.

The new playset!!

Doesnt this make you want to be a kid again? Scott has been working on our back yard for over a week now, putting down the ground cover to make it safe and nice and pretty for the girls. Hopefully it will go up this weekend and the girls can start playing!

Back to School!!

Looking too cool for school

Well school has finally started. I dont know who was more excited us or the girls! I have to admit I shed a couple tears and got choked up a couple times, she was such a big girl..She walked right in to class and walked up to the teacher and said "I am 5 now" I didnt think I would be so emotional it must be the hormones. So far Scott and I have not taken advantage of the nice days with no kiddos (before we pop out the next one) but isnt that what got us in this predicament in the first place.
