Quick up-date on the Princess Puddin Pop!

For those who don't know all the details. Hannah went to the doctor 2 weeks ago and we were told she needed surgery now. This is surgery on her ankles, both of them and on her left leg. The ankle part I was ok with, it was the leg length surgery that had me shaking my head and calling daddies, mine and hers! You see, the doctor wants to stop Hannah's left leg from growing anymore with hopes that the right leg will catch-up. I have known about this procedure since she was 4 months old, but I thought it was done between 12 and 13 yrs old, not 101/2 yrs old. KT support group gave me the same information. One young lady had the surgery at 10 and her shorter leg become her longer leg, same problem just different leg. Another young lady (who sounds like our Hannah) didn't have the surgery and like Hannah was "delayed" in growth and didn't hit puberty until later in life and never needed the surgery. There is so much more information about this, things that just don't make me comfortable with doing the surgery now, which brings me to my next issue.

I have always had a spare Ortho Doctor for Hannah. He was in California. I went to pull in out and WHAM! He has moved to New York! So, I have called and left him a message and I have e-mailed the Hospital he works for. I am hoping he can pull a spare doctor out of his back pocket who lives in California or even Arizona. If not, I will have to contact Shiners hospital in LA and see if we can get her in there.

Dad in case you are wondering, I am SICK of lemonade, so life can stop giving me lemons and When God closes a door, he also nails shut all the windows!

For Ash, Wyatt, Kay-Kay and anyone esle who...

made a battery holder at Home Depot. Yes I said a battery holder! We (Jarod and I) made them for our mother. She uses one shelf to hold Pearl Ex powder. They come in containers small enough to fit. Will try to get picture for you, right now camera is MIA. So you say you don't have Pearl Ex powder, well first we would like to say we understand, the stuff is expensive. Mom got an awesome deal on hers! Second. it is cool and fun stuff.

You can store hot wheels on it. You can really have fun and make small works of art and use it as a small gallery. Kay-Kay can use it in her doll house as a large bookcase. Wyatt could store pieces of anything his action figures might have. Lay it down and Kay-Kay and Ash you can store jewelry. Lay it done and may be small dolls can sleep in it. Our dollar tree sells small clear containers (you have watch for them, they go fast) you could put spices in the small containers and use it as a spice rack. May be the small Gerber baby food jars would also work. OH MY! How could I overlook the best idea of all, use it to start or hold your rock collection, Grandpa Dobson would love that!

Just a few ideas, if I think of more I will let you know!
Love, Hannah!

Mom is up and running AGAIN!

Just wanted to let you know our mom has re-opened her blog...Flagoddsnends...it is in our sidebar. Stop by and see the first project she has done. We will say, they are cuter in person than in the photos, and yes they are cute in the photos! She plans to have Hannah help her with the blog as Hannah also likes to create. Hannah will have more child friendly projects. Like what to with a Home Depot Battery Holdre when you don't need such a thing!

YES, Our dumb dog, AGAIN!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2011

Hope everyone has a happy and safe new year! We love you all! Oh and BTW our oldest turns 17 in 6 months, the same age Kat was when she meet Art! Hannah our angel will be 11 and we will have our offical second teenager with Jarod (ok granted that will be in November but still he is growing so fast! Don't believe me, he is 12 and about 5ft 6 inches!), boy time sure does fly when you are having fun!

P.S. Thanks SarahBeth for the new header, we love it!

Yes, this is our dog!
