Asking for prayers

One of my crew members is going through the fight of his life. His name is Dale he is my crew member witch makes him my brother. He used to have a pace maker in his chest but they took it out. Now the leads that they left in have floated down to his lung and have caused massive infection and scar tissue. The docs have put him on antibiotics for the next 4 weeks to see if that does anything, however the chance of the medicine helping is slim to none. The next step is to remove part of his lung, they are looking at taking half of it but told him chances are good that they will have to remove all of it. If they do that then he will have a 10% chance to make it through surgery. Dale is very determined to beat this thing, he said if it does get to take his life then it will have to fight him every step of the way. Dale is a great man who will give everything for a friend and has done so for me. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Come on People!

This morning in the newspaper there was an article about how a lesbian couple and their kids tried to get the family rate for swimming at Lava Hot Springs. The swimming complex denied them the discount because the state does not recognize same sex couples. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! Who cares! by law they might not be a married couple but that doesn't make them any less of a family! They live together, eat together and do all the family things. The kids do belong to the one lady since she got custody of them from her sister. At least give her and the kids the family rate. The kids were young how do you explain to them that they don't count as a family just because they have two mommies? How much money is Lava actually saving by denying them the discount? Is it really worth the negative publicity?

06/07/08

06/07/08 is the day Bradach was born. Today is the day we had a party for him. I told myself I never wanted to do b-day parties but I thought using that date was a good reason to have a barbecue. I made up invitations sent them out and the people came. I wrote no presents on the invites and some of the people said that they didn't know how to follow instructions . We had a good turn out and I got to see people that we don't get to see very often. The theme was camo and water. The camo was a go but the weather was rainy and cold so we moved the party inside. We had some great food to eat and Bradach opened his gifts. Then we got pics of all the kids together it reminded me of Austins b-day party because Bradach was the only one in the pic that was crying. He finally calmed down for a pic. After pics and presents we stripped the kid down to his diaper and put the cake in front of him. It was really cute to see him taste the frosting. I made him a banana cake witch was just like banana bread except with the cake texture. He loves banana bread and loved his cake. He actually tried to bypass the frosting to get to the bread. I get alot of flack for the healthy way I feed my child so he doesn't get much refined sugar. He was bouncing off the wall after the cream cheese frosting. He was running around saying daddy (he was actually saying doggy but its hard to tell). He layed down for a nap with grandma and the rest of us went to the grove to jet ski. Call us a bit crazy but it was so much fun! The weather was rainy and some lightning but really far away. We had to even take a break to let the storm pass through. The sign said it was 47degrees but the water was warmish(60's). After you couldn't feel your shins it was great! When we came home we all hopped in the hot tub and got our body temps back up. So all in all it was a great day. One to remember.
