Another surgery

It is time again. We are asking for all we know to pray for Brady, Cody's brother and for Cody's parents as well. Brady's health is really suffering and Mom & Dad Hamer have a way lot on their plate and haven't been well either. Brady was admitted in the hospital over the weekend, is home now but is having surgery tomorrow. Please, please pray for him and their sweet family.

So busy...Here's what you've missed...

Sorry I never blog anymore, just not enough hours in the day I guess. Here's what's been happenin' 'round here...

Ben's first bite--more out than in but now he loves it. Ben sleeping and Ben's first bottle.





Lots of storytimes and snuggling with Mom.



Ben showing the other side of his personality, just hangin' out and thinkin'..."I'm too cool for my buckles"..."These toys are lame"...and making a punk face, I'd spiked his hair--can you tell?




Jocelyn and Aimee are as busy as usual...at the Beauty and the Beast play with Grandpa and Grandma Hamer and making a routine visit to Mom's Salon (where the service is great but it's getting harder and harder to make an appointment!).





Our frequent visitor on the back porch.


Ben has a secret...I found it in his diaper, but I'll take that to throw-up anyday!


Cute Ben loves Daddy...snuggling.




Thumbsucking...it's all the rage!



Oh and we are in the process of buying another home...details and move-in updates to come! Yeah!

"There were never such devoted sisters"...

Jocelyn is the fairy godmother and Aimee is going to go to the ball.

An hour later we had nap time. Aren't these two the most wonderful girls any mom ever had! Love 'em to pieces!

Here is the last two weeks at the hospital and the first two weeks at home!

I needed this today!

I was feeling a little, well, blah, today. I've been so busy I don't think I am really doing much with my talents (in fact I can't remember what they were!) and I was starting to feel like a bit of a failure in just about everything; I have the opposite of Midas' touch! Like maybe my mediocure contribution to this world doesn't really make much of a difference. Well I stumbled upon this link to Mormon Messages which can be found in my blog list and I watched this short video. I now feel inspired and refreshed to jump back into my fabulous life with my sweet family with new determination. And since I still don't have much time for hobbies currently I have decided I can CREATE myself--to be the person I want to be. And I can mean something to the four most important people in my life...and for me that is enough. To quote the famous little engine..."I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!"

Yeah, I'm finally home!

Well, after 106 days in the hospital I finally get to come home to my family. I was so excited that I didn't sleep (the whole night before!) but I made up for it on the ride home. Dad and mom were a little nervous I think, but not me. I've already settled in and am pretty comfy and getting used to our house. It sure is fun to spend time with my sisters, Jocelyn and Aimee. They are so busy all the time and I love to watch them. Unfortunately I didn't get to stay away from the hospital for even 24 hours because my feeding tube fell out and we had to drive all the way back to Primary's. I was afraid they would make me stay there again; so I cried the whole way there and back. The procedure was ok, nothing I can't handle, but you won't believe this...right after we had gotten home and we were getting out of the van, the tube fell out AGAIN!!! Mom said a bad word and had to apologize to everyone and dad was pretty frustrated too. He spent a few hours trying to schedule another placement for me, this time at Mckay because I was absolutely not going to ride to Salt Lake again. So we went and the mean nurse strapped my body down way too tight but that's all in the past, because now I have my tube, I get to eat again and have all my meds (my pain ones are my favorite), and mom and dad are watching me like a hawk. Well we have more pictures to post from the last few days, but not tonight; it's storytime with my family and I am not going to miss it. Thanks everyone for praying for me...I love you
