Where Dreams Come True.....

**I am reposting this cause I just realized that it never made it out of a draft the first time when I posted it here!!

Here are a few pictures from our Disneyland trip!! It was an amazing, once in a life time trip!! Karlee had the most amazing time and really was a very lucky little girl!! She got to go to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and get her hair, nails and makeup done like a princess for her birthday!! She also got to have a birthday party with Pat-E-Cake!! The day of her birthday, we met an angel named Cheryl that absolutely fell in LOVE with Karlee!! We saw her various times through out the day with the characters!! The next day after Karlee's birthday we went to Toon Town's morning madness!! As soon as we entered the gates, the first person we saw was Cheryl again!! Her and Karlee had a little reunion hug and then Cheryl completely made our whole trip...she asked us if we would want to be in that mornings show!! What that meant was that we would get brought on stage and get a certificate from Mickey making us the Honorary Family of the day!! It was AMAZING!! The fun didn't stop there for Karlee though!! Amazing Cheryl had some more tricks up her sleeve and Karlee ended up getting to hold Pluto's hand and then Donald's hand and walk across the park and then....the icing on the cake.....she got to hold her Mickey's hand and walk through his house with him!! HOW AMAZING!!! We were truly blessed to have met Cheryl and thank her for the great care she took of us and the great things she did for us!!

We are already planning our next trip back!! Next trip will be in October so we can go Trick-R-Treating there!!! We are already counting the days!!

At the NECKU

I am blogging about this for my own memory but it is also an adorably cute story on Karlee to share!!

After I picked Karlee up from daycare today, we were heading to Costco!! All of a sudden, she says to me, "Mom, you need to buy 2 baby beds." I asked why to which she replied, "Cause I have 2 babies in my NECK and they are coming soon". I then said, "In your neck? Are babies usually in your neck?" To which she replied, "Sometimes they are! Michele & Melissa (daycare gals) have them in their necks sometimes". Okay then....I didn't ask anymore but decided to ask her more about it when she got up from her nap!!

I asked her if she had her babies yet and she said "No..on the 14th when I am bigger!!" I then asked her how they were going to get out to which she replied with the funniest answer I have ever heard.................

She says, "I don't know...at the NECKU!! Like how you had me at the NECKU!! I need to go to the NECKU with you and have my babies!!"

It was all I could do to keep a straight face....she was completely serious about delivering babies in your NECK at the NECKU!! I guess when she hears us saying NICU, she thinks we are saying NECKU!!

Out of the mouth of babes!!!

10 Years Ago

....10 years ago today my dad was given the GIFT OF LIFE

....a kidney and a pancreas transplant

....10 years ago today some amazing family said goodbye to their dad & their son and gave my dad another chance at life

...THANK YOU

....Thank you for giving me my dad back and for allowing my daughter to know her grandfather

**Here is a poem that I had read at my wedding and then made this to give to the donor family!! Sorry for the poor quality!!

When I was a little girl

I used to run around and play

And wonder in my own way

What would come about the next day.

Then....................

As I grew older and became more aware

Mom would always say

(Daddy's gonna be okay).

Years went by and I would always pray

Becuase Daddy was still sick eveyday.

Then....................

All at once when hope was thin

God reached down

And gave Daddy his life back again.

Mom was right as all Mothers are

(Daddy is okay)

And he is here to give me away

On this, my wedding day.
