Surgery

Well I am trying to be better at this blog and if I fail. Then I will be shutting it down, but for now I will keep trying I got a lot of family comments in email telling me they enjoyed it. :)

This Monday I had surgery. It's called "direct micro laryngoscopy vocal cord mass removal" say that 3 times fast! Pretty much it is from over using my voice or yelling too much. HEHEHE :) On Monday as we were coming home I felt awful and dont remember much about that drive. I then might have thrown up on our bedroom floor (sorry scott you were too slow with the bucket and I was way too unstable to run). Then I slept about 3 hours woke up feeling GREAT! A little too good to be honest I was worried I would pay for the feeling good later. The payment was I couldn't get comfy to sleep last night. I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep on my side like I love to do :( I woke up this morning with everything hurting except my throat. Jaw, neck, head, back, calves, and my left ankle (I sprained that last week so I expected that pain). I think they beat you up when they do surgery on you. It has been an interesting few days not being able to talk. The dr said I could talk some with a monotone voice and NO whispering. I am so scared I will whisper that I am just typing and writing everything for the kids and Scott. I can feel the scab in my throat sometimes and I really don't want to knock it loose with talking so I wont as much as I can. I do wish the family knew more sign language the whole writing thing is sooo not fun.
Scott and the kids have been pretty good at helping me :) It is probably hard to help me all the time when I am pretty mobile and not in pain.

WHY?

Why am I so bad at updating this blog? Should I even keep it? does anyone care? I am not upset just trying to decide if it is worth it or of any importance. 

Here are the kids on their first day of school. 

I hate working full time at a school cause i can never be home for the kids first day of school. I can't wait to stay home with my crazy kiddos. One day One day I will get to make breakfast, make sure their clothes match, and actually do Adrea's hair. That is one of our goals and we are going to get it soon.

 The only reason you get all 3 pictures is cause Tanner's crazy face!! The faces make me giggle

I love the Olympics

So i can't figure out how to save this word art except with using the code in my blog so now you are stuck looking at it :) but i do love the olympics and will be making more fun things for it later :)

Grandpa Devoss

Well the first part of Aug 2011 my wonderful grandpa passed away. He was an amazing man and was almost 90!!! We miss him dearly, but we are glad he didn't suffer long. He had just been moved from his home to the vetrens home in may so only 3 1/2 months not living with his sweetheart was enough for him, in this life. 

 This is my grandma, her 4 kids their spouses, her 8 grandkids with 5 grandkid inlaws :), and then a bunch of great grand kids. The 3 girl cousins from back east couldn't bring their husbands or kids. This is the first time that we can remember all 8 of us grandkids being TOGETHER!!! It was fun and sad that this is what brought us all together.

 Minus all the great grandkids

 Minus all the kids. So only grandkids and great grandkids wearing all of Grandpas fun hats. he loved his hats!!!

Tommy stacking all the hats! 

Well now i can say i have posted something :) I do promise to post more soon (in like a week)
