Balloon DRAMA!

I'ts been a while since I blogged. So much to tell! 1st, I'll tell everyone about BG's balloon drama at Jim-N-Nicks. It was so funny! Brookelyn-Grace, dad, Katy-Bug, Brooke and I all went to eat lunch together. Well after eating a very sweet hostess comes over and offers Katy-Bug and Brookelyn-Grace a balloon. I tried tying the balloon to Brookelyn-Grace's wrist, but she was having no part of that. I told her several times, over-and-over that if she did not hold onto her balloon then it would hit the ceiling and pop. Well about ten minutes later, up went the balloon and Brookelyn-Grace looked in shock as her balloon made itself up to the ceiling and popped! It was like everyone in the restaurant watched as the balloon made itself to its doom. As soon as the balloon popped Brookelyn-Grace's bottom lip puckered out and began to quiver. I felt horrible for her, but at the same time...lesson learned! I did not even feel the need to explain to her that, "Mommy told you so." Everyone in the restaurant was now staring at our table. I looked at my dad and said, "As bad as this sounds, I found so much pleasure out of that". Everyone watching laughed. Of course it was all parents, that had probably been through similar situations. Although the balloon incident was bitter sweet, the hostess ended up getting her another. After the balloon drama she was traumatized. Katy-Bug had her balloon tied to her wrist and every time she would let it go, Brookelyn-Grace would have a heart-attack! She was so worried about her and Katy-Bugs balloon getting loose. After we left the restaurant Brookelyn-Grace would still not let that balloon go. She would hold it with both hands. She would not even play at Pop's house with Katy-Bug because it meant that she would have to let someone else hold the balloon. We decided to go to Jeremy's work and wait on him to get off. During this time Brookelyn-Grace was passing out in her car seat. Whenever she would pass out she would let go of her balloon, and she would immediately wake up crying. I would have to reach into the back and give her the balloon back. When we got home she wanted to hold it in her sleep. HA HA I had to tie the balloon to the bed and repeatedly tell her that the balloon would be okay, and that it would be there in the morning. It was so funny! She was so obsessive over that balloon!

It was so funny!

Another thing that my sweet PRINCESS has been doing is singing anything that she hears. Her favorite song at the moment is...."5 little Monkey's jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head......
It is so sweet hearing her sing that song! Also she is repeating everything and anything that she hears! She is so unbelievably smart!
One day we were driving through town and I had to slam on my breaks because of the wonderful Walker County drivers we have. Brookelyn-Grace yelled out at me, "Mommy, too fast! Be careful!" It was so funny! Also anytime we head to town she will say "Mommy, where going?" The same goes if we are doing something, like on the computer, she will say, "Daddy what doing?" She is just so funny!
She is also in a 3T! She is such a big girl! She is not chubby or chunky at all, just tall! She does not get that from me, that's for sure!

ALL GIRL!

I took Brookelyn-Grace to get her first pedicure last week. She loved it! She got them painted hot pink with flowers. Now every time we pass by Elegant Nails she says "Mommy paint toes". I have created a monster. I have created a mini-me! ;) After she got her toes done we had to buy her fake finger nail polish. She loves painting Jeremy's toes with her new polish! ;)

FINALLY HOME!

My Paw-Paw finally got to come home yesterday! He had been in the hospital for 3 weeks! When I got off work yesterday I went straight home to moms to help her get his room ready. We cleaned our butts off! He is staying at my moms so we can keep a close eye on him. He is our world! I am just on cloud 9 about him FINALLY being home! He even stopped and bought Brookelyn-Grace her first bike on his way home. She has missed her Paw-Paw and apparently he missed her too ;)

I love my Paw-Paw!
Thank you everyone for the prayers! We really needed them! Prayer works! Please keep it up! :)

Here are some pics that I took of his arrival home :)

UPDATE!

Update~~~ Paw-Paw had his first round of chemo last night. Mom said he did great on it. It made him sleep a lot! Dr. Lasiker says that this is going to make his swelling reduce dramatically. I just hope he is right! I have been going back and forth to Princeton since Tuesday, and I am about wore out! I am just so mentally and physically exhausted! I just want my Paw-Paw to be okay! If he is okay, then I am okay. We are still just taking it one day at a time. That is all we can do right now. I hope that everyone reading this will say a prayer for my Paw-Paw and our family. Right now its up to God. We need God to give us another miracle. We need the power of prayer right now. Everyone please keep praying. Ask your family to pray as well, and put if you can please put him on your prayer list at church. Thank you so much!

...we all bleed...

"When someone in our family gets cut, we all bleed"....

So my Paw Paw Sims has been diagnosed with Stage 3a lung cancer, and my family is mentally and physically breaking down. My Paw Paw had open heart surgery about 4-5 years ago, and he got through it all, so I am just praying to God he can make it through this too! If you know my Paw Paw Sims, then you know that he is one of the strongest men ever! He does more than most men in their 20's, 30's & 40's! He is such a good man, and it absolutely breaks my heart into to know that he is having to go through this. My family is hurting so bad right now! I know Paw Paw hates seeing everyone so upset, but I'm telling you the quote above is so true! Why is that the GOOD have to go through things like cancer??? At times I find myself so mad, and then I have to remind myself that it is no one's fault. It is just really hard to understand it all! I love him so much, and him and my granny are the backbone to our family!!! Every time I hug him I just wish and pray I could take that cancer away from him. He starts radiation soon, and then comes the chemo...I just hope that he stays strong and tries to fight this! This family needs him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone please say a prayer for my Paw Paw Sims and my family. Please pray that he makes it through this stupid thing called cancer, and that my granny and the rest of my family stays strong through this whole ordeal!
