Surgery went GREAT!!!

Whitman was feeling pretty good after they gave him some more meds...he was feeding everyone

Bless his heart he was ill when he came out of surgery.

Whit was shocked at all the people who came to see him!

Little man you need to drink so you can go peepee and we can go home!

Isn't he just precious!


Whitman did a great job this morning with his surgery. We are so blessed to be home with a healthy, happy baby boy! Whit's surgery went great and all is well here at our house. Well did I mention that Whit can't wear a diaper for 48 hours.......OMGoodness!!!! Please continue to keep our household in your prayers. This is going to be a trying week but God has brought us this far! I know we can make it through this.

Thanks again for everyones thoughts and prayers. We are trully blessed to have prayer warriors like you on our side.

Thank you Lord for my healthy baby boy,

Whit Goes For Surgery

So we got to the hospital early this morning for Whit's surgery. He is back in surgery now and doing well. The nurses are coming back and forth assuring us that everything is going well. We are so blessed! Meanwhile, Whit's room is filling up with Grandparents, uncles, preachers.....this youngin' is so loved! Not to mention everyone who is praying for my little boy! Thanks to all our facebook friends too for keeping up with today's events.

Will let everyone know when he comes out of surgery. Love to you all!

Downtown Seattle

We went and visited so many local popular spots. One of our faves though was the Space Needle. The rotating restaurant was so AWESOME and different! I felt like an adult! Ha! It was just so nice to be some place different without having to order chicken nuggets and french fries. Haha! The food was out of this world! But the atmosphere is what I would go back for.

God is so good ALL the time,

Seattle Trip

Cory and I before we went to our first Young Farmer event.

My HaNDsOMe HuBBy in our hotel

Our friend and YF National Committee Member, Leighton Cooley, interviewing Cory

There is NO telling what was going on here..haha!

The first morning in Seattle we were honored at a YF's breakfast. We got to see friends we hadn't seen in awhile, network with other farmer's and their spouses, and enjoy the food that was served.

God is so good. There is no way I could have told you, 6 months ago, that Cory and I would be were we are right now. Much less have had the opportunity like Seattle! What a joy in knowing that my GOD's plans are always grander than I can fathom.

God is good.....so good....ALL the time,

Sunset to the Pacific

So after our lay over in Cincinnati we boarded our plane to the Pacific coast. I thought this was going to be a short flight....2-3 hours. So when Cory asked me if I wanted to upgrade to 1st class I said that it just wasn't worth it. Well my pleasing husband asked the stewardess what the flight looked like and just exactly what the upgrade cost. Praise the Lord he did too! Our flight to Seattle was going to be over 5 hours long....OMG!!!!

So because my husband is so FANTASTIC we got 1st class seats on our flight! Neither of us had ever flown 1st class and really didn't know what to expect or what was expected of us! IT WAS WONDERFUL and when my husband so sweetly asked the attendant what the proper "flight etiquette" was...tip or no tip?.......she thought he was the sweetest thing ever and was even more attentive to our "first 1st class experience." Haha!

These pictures are of the longest sunset we have ever seen! It was absolutely breathtaking! The way the colors hit the different horizons was amazing. God continues to amaze me with His beautiful creations.

This flight was the most beautiful one I have ever experienced. I will never forget the seats nor the views on our "first 1st class experience."

God is so good...ALL the time,

Little Boss-Man

During the day, Whitman and I sometimes venture to the warehouse to see what Daddy is up too. Whitman loves his Momma but loves to go with his Daddy and "work".

Behind the desks there is a shelf that holds some kind of gadget. This "gadget" is Whitman's work. It never fails! He goes and gets this thing out, along with the bolts, and works away trying to fix it. He is absolutely PRECIOUS! This picture cracks me up...its like he's saying, "Momma, don't bother me while I'm workin'."

Whitman LOVES to work with his Daddy and the other guys at the shop. They make him feel so special and important...he eats it up! Whit is known as the "little boss-man" and I only pray that he has the same work ethic as his Daddy, the "boss man".

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.....

Colossians 3:23


From the "boss lady",

Please Pray

My mother in law's good friend, Gail Taylor's, daughter Amy Taylor Williams is fixing to have her first child. This past week they found out that her baby boy, Taylor Beckham Williams, has HLHS (hypoplastic left heart syndrome).

For those of you who don't know, this is the same heart defect my Lila Rae had. Unfortunately, I know all too well what this family is going through and what the road ahead looks like. I only pray that baby Taylor's surgeries and outcome is better than my Lila Rae's.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PRAY for this family. PRAY for the surgeons and other doctors to care for Taylor to the best of their ability. PRAY for Taylor's recovery to be smooth and flawless...free from infections. PRAY for the family's patience, faith, and love. PRAY that this storm will pass from them without any destruction.

Thank you to all my friends and family for ALL that you did through our Lila Rae's procedures. I am asking you now to pray for this family and that God will see them through as only He can.

God is good, ALL the time,

A Little More Christmas

Well today its back to the grind of things. My girls went back to school and its housework and cooking for me and my little man. We had a fantastic New Year. I pray you did too! My parents came up and we had our Christmas time with them. It was so nice to have some quality time with them. Most of the time we're running somewhere doing something when we get together but not this time. My Mom has been sick so we took it real easy and slow..it was really nice.

The kids have played and played and played with all their toys. We are so blessed and so spoiled! God is so good ALL the time! They especially LOVE their new Buggy! Yes, their Daddy and I got them a little buggy for Christmas. I like to say that their Daddy got them the buggy and I got them the helmets! Haha! I have to give Cory credit, though, this was ALL his idea. He did a great job! This thing has been so much fun and I haven't laughed this hard in soooo long! They are too much fun!

So here is a little more Christmas from our house to yours!

God is good ALL the time,
