HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY,, GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU!!!

Well, Willie and Jackie stayed home yesterday. Willie had a rash, which the doctor said was an allergic reaction to something. Jackies allergies are just kicking her butt. So I went to show the day care my babies little rash , so they wouldn't worry. And look what i saw when i pulled up his shirt. OMG.... I freaked. I wanted to rush him to the ER. Got ahold of the doctor, and we decided he would come in for a shot. By the time we got there, his back was fine. Clear as could be. WTF, is what I thinking. Excuse my french. They say he has contact dermatitis. So no shot and mommy gets to re wash all of Willies cloths. My poor baby! Hopefully he still looks nice and white when I pick him up today!

WARNING....OVERLOAD.....


So as you may be able to tell by the date of my last post, I have been busy. Life just flies on by me these days. I wish I could remember how to just stop and smell the roses. Anyone out there knows how to do that…. If so fill me in!

I want to catch you up, so brace yourself. This may be a long blog. But I will try to be as short and sweet as I can! January was Willies mans 2nd birthday. He is such a big boy. He wears 4t pants and 5 t tops. My man is a stud, what can I say.

February was busy. I had a wedding shower to attend for my cousin Kathy. On the day of her wedding, I was to take Jackie over to her house to get her hair and make up done. She was one of the flower girls. The wedding party also got to ride in a stretch hummer limo! Jackie was so excited. But as life seems to go for the Gazes,,,, Willie woke up with a high fever, had a seizure. Normally we would just do what we normally do to break the fever and drug him up all flippin’ day. But this time it took him to long to snap out of it. We took him to the ER. Mean while, Penny came and got Jackie to take her to do all the special fun things I was do watch her do for the wedding. (I was so sad …) Willie ended up having the flu…. And Will ended up staying at home to take care of him. I went off to the wedding to watch our beautiful daughter,,, literally RUN down the isle. She was so cute! Willie eventually got over the flu! Thank the lord! The wedding was fun, and at the Four Seasons,,,, so you can imagine, they went all out!

In March we celebrated Wills 33rd birthday. We also celebrated Willies first day at day care. That was the hardest thing ever! He cried for the first two weeks. Wait till I post pictures of that! But praise the Lord…… my baby loves it now. He has made tons of friends, and is learning so much! His center is right around the corner from were I work,,, so I can be there in a minute if I need to. (I did get a call from the day care that he had a fever, diarrhea, and threw up. I haled butt over there… I was thankful to be so close)

April has brought the soccer season upon us. Jackie loves to play and will loves to Coach her team. Willie doesn’t understand why he can’t run after the kids with the ball during her games. It’s a full time job to entertain him, and I end up missing most of the game. But she loves it, and we are so proud of her! We also celebrated my sister’s 5th baby shower. She gave birth to Samantha Grace on the 16th. She is so sweet. Penny and baby are doing great! Another big milestone this month is that Jackie learned to tie her own shoes. Her daddy has done a great job with teaching her! Today, though, Willie, Jackie, and Will are all home sick. I thought Willie had scarlet fever… its running through his daycare. Turns out he is having a bad reaction to something. His rash is gross. Jackie has a fever and tummy ache and really bad allergies. Her nostrils are blue and they should be pink. Will has a serious sinus and throat infection. So any prayers you can send our way would be awesome. Tomorrow brings my 33rd birthday. I will celebrate taking care of all my sickies at home. Tis the life of being a mommy… right?

Oh, and my husbands Aunt Paulie had been undergoing chemo treatments for ovarian cancer. She is doing well and had kept very positive. Her faith has helped her get through it all! I call and check in her everyday and see her mostly every weekend. I think family time helps her a lot! So you can put her into the Gazes family prayers…. That we mean a lot too!

So that is all for now! You are all caught up. I just need to down load some pictures to go w/ this all. It may be a few days, but I promise I will get them on here by the weekend!

Look who turned 2!!!

Life seems to pass me by allot these days! My son celebrated his 2nd birthday on the 22nd and I am not just posting about it! We , once again, went to his favorite hang out, Chuckie Cheeses! He had a blast. We hung out with family, played tons of games, ate lots of yummy pizza, and ate the best cupcakes made with love by my sis Penny.

I cant believe my little man is 2. He has grown so much this past year. He is talking so much. I cant wait to see what the next few months will bring! We have fun playing. And he loves his "sissy". We are so blessed. Will bought Willie a basket ball hoop. Man oh Man he loves it!
(i will post pictures when i get some of him playing that!)

Happy birthday little man!

Willie loves to dance.

Don't eat the train!

He loves his drink!

My sister is "baking" number 5.... super mom!

Daddy's little stud.

My brave little girl..

Well most of you know Jackie had her tonsils and adenoids taken out yesterday. It has been a long journey for us all! With a lot of prayer, will and I knew this was the best decision for her. We had to be at the sx center at 630 am.. so needless to say we were all tired. My parents surprised Jackie rose by being there at the center when we got there. That really meant a lot to her and put a big smile on her face! By the time we filled out paper work, got her checked in, dressed and ready for sx it was 715. And then it happened , before I knew it, I was walking my baby down a long hallway to her sx room. I put her little body on this big white table. Held her hand, then they put this little mask over her nose and mouth. Before I knew it my sweet little girl was off to dream land. Then they kicked me out and back to the waiting room I went! SHESH. I wasn’t ready to let go of that little hand. All of a sudden my heart was pounding, I just wanted to grab her and run out of there. But thankfully God was telling me, it was going to be ok… and sure enough all was well. The sx was scheduled for 45 mins, but only 20 mins later they came out to tell me all went well. Man I was freaked out. Thinking he went to fast , what if they couldn’t do it. once again I was going crazy. But the doctor came out. Said they were gross and ready to come out, but that he also found she has a bad sinus infection. So on top of all that pain, she has even more pain. My poor baby. We went to the recovery room where she came out on a stretcher. She woke up and jumped into my arms. I held her for awhile while she slept. But then other peoples kids were coming out and those kids wouldn’t stop crying. Brats! So they woke Jackie up. That girl was up from that moment on till I made her finally go to sleep at 1 pm. I couldn’t believe it! yesterday she was pretty good. still loaded w/ all the drugs. But this morning at 5 am, she came crying. Saying her throat hurt. That she couldn’t swallow. It was so sad. I drugged her up and tried to get her to sleep but , no luck. In fact we are still up. I guess the Tylenol w/ codeine keeps her wired. Tons of ice cream , popsicles, pudding, and applesauce later she feels better. We have played a few board games, read tons of books, and now I am trying to get her to relax in bed. Which is what the doctor ordered! Thanks for all of your prayers. Please keep them coming. Jackie will be in pain for the couple of days…. It’s so sad. Enjoy the pictures.. the last one is from today eating her 2nd bowl of sherbet ice cream!

The cool playroom we got to play in before we walked the long hallway.

TTrying to get some sleep...

She loves her ice cream.

FAREWELL MY DEAR FRIEND.....



My friend, I had work with for years when I worked in food service, was struck and killed by a car early Saturday morning. She was only 52 years old, had a loving husband, two children, and grandchildren. I am still in sock. I can not believe she is gone.

It is so true, we never know the day nor the hour God will call us home. I am reminded through this tragedy to appreciate the family and friends I have. To appreciate the time we have left on this earth. So many time I get overwhelmed over petty things,,,, but now,,, no longer.

Barb, may God embrace you. I will cherish all of our memories. My family will miss you dearly. Heaven has a one of a kind angel.... we love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BABY BOY!

WILLIE EATING LUNCH AT AUNT PENNY'S YESTERDAY.


Today my sweet boy turns 2. I can not believe how time has flown on by. He is talking so much these days. My favorite is when he is MOM, I'M Happy... it sounds so cute to hear his little voice! To celebrate will are talking him to his favorite place,,, chuckie cheeses! What a year of change this has been. On the 9Th, it marked a year from his first seizure. But thankfully , since we have gotten it under control, he has only had 2 . They say he will grow out it by 5 or 6 , and for that I am grateful. My boy is so tall, runs around like a wild man, and loves so deeply! I love you baby boy! It has been a pleasure having you in my life. Even when you are "ON" all day long! You are blessing to our family! Happy 2ND Birthday sweetie!
