Happy *Cough* *Mumble* *Cough* -th Birthday, Mama!

Aloha, y'all! The kids and husband of one fantastic person here, Emily as our spokesperson (Writeperson?). So we noticed that every year on our birthdays, we get a nice little piece on the blog about our existence, where Mama says how old and we're turning and wishes us a happy birthday. So this year, to show our love, we decided to hack her blog and write one for her!

Because hey, for my part, I just want to say my mom ROCKS. You know Proverbs 31, where it basically describes the perfect woman? Add the most epic sense of humor and the ability to cook spectacularly, and boom! My mom in a nutshell. But really, Mama, the thing I love most about is just... you. You're funny (read that as "bust-a-gut, ohmaigawsh HILARIOUS"), determined (like sitting there for an hour with me trying to figure out Algebra), smart (actually doing it), wise (with Bible stuff! And boy stuff!), a great cook, a teacher, a confidante, a best friend, a great role model, and an absolutely, all-around fantastic person. If I had to choose a mom, you'd be my first pick.
Love love love love love you,
Emily

29ish years ago today the world was blessed with a Goddess named Amy.
This dynamo is a combination of all three power puff girls combined
with a huge dose of creative genius and all around brilliance. She is
a also endowed with a large amount of patience and humor because she
puts up with a both me and her children on a daily basis.
Anyways...today is her day and we are so blessed to have her. She is
my soul mate and super heroine. She can leap tall buildings in a
single bound and single handedly save the universe in one day while
still managing to balance home schooling, direct the G3 play,
volunteer at church, and keep her sanity:-) The maker of the stars
broke the mold with you Birthday Girl. We love you! Don't get too
crazy to day!!
Daddy
Thanks for being an awesome mom for 18 years and being an awesome
person for 37* years! You have been an amazing mom since I
kickstarted the whole you being a mom thing, and I honestly don't
think I'd be going to college this year if you hadn't pushed me
forward. You've pushed me to accomplish things I never would have
without you, and I love you so much! Thank you for being my mom and
Happy Birthday!
Ben
Mama, you are my birther, my mommy, the peace keeper. And the whole family wants to celebrate [insert number here] years of your existence, and our hearts leap at your name. Mom,
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are very special... how old are you again?...
Whoa! That old???!!!
LOVE YOU!!!
Katie

Ben's Feet

Ben went camping with his youth group this weekend. He said it was the best weekend he's had since we've been in Hawaii, and possibly in his entire life. The one negative part was that he stepped on some coral out in the water and cut his feet up pretty good. He swears it was all dead coral - you shouldn't touch live coral, much less walk on it because it damages the coral. No one ever mentions that it also damages your feet. They just tell you not to damage the coral. Also, coral is a living organism . If you step on live coral and a tiny piece breaks off in the cut, it will continue to grow. Did you see the movie Alien ? If some creature incubates in Ben's feet, then breaks out and eats us all one night, I'm going to be quite miffed. (Make sure you read the inscription on his tee shirt in this picture. It's quite appropriate.)

Mammogram

I'm having my annual mammogram today. I always hear about how painful they are, but honestly, I've never thought they are that bad. Not the most comfortable, but not painful either. Every time I have a mammogram, I'm reminded of this story. It won the Erma Bombeck Writing Competition and I still get a kick out of it every time I read it. So I'm posting it here today for your reading pleasure: Erma Bombeck Writing Competition 1st place in Humor Category Winner Leigh Anne Jasheway of Eugene, Oregon "The First Time's Always the Worst" The first mammogram is the worst. Especially when the machine catches on fire. That's what happened to me. The technician, Gail, positioned me exactly as she wanted me (think a really complicated game of Twister - right hand on the blue, left shoulder on the yellow, right breast as far away as humanly possible from the rest of your body). Then she clamped the machine down so tight, I think my breast actually turned inside o

A Week After Surgery

Katie went back to the surgeon yesterday to have her foot checked.  It was the first time we saw the stitches.  When we saw her after surgery, her foot was already wrapped up in three inches of gauze and it's been wrapped like that ever since. The doctor decided that the sutures were not quite ready to be removed. There are stitches in the side of her foot where they inserted one of the screws.  The surgeon told us that she has to be very, very, very careful not to put her foot on the ground.  Any pressure at all could cause the screws to shift or break and that would be very, very, very bad. They knew we were going out of town for the wedding this weekend.  In order to protect her foot as much as possible, she was put in a hard cast.  It will come back off on Monday so they can check the sutures again.  This cast has a very limited time to be signed! Katie may not get to have a lot of people sign her cast  but she currently still has the initials of the sur
