Needing Prayer

Its been so long since we blogged. But I chose to today. Mama has been fighting a headache for a long time...(since February):(. Just three days ago it got so bad that she could barely move. Everyone has been praying. She got even worse today:(. We are so worried about her. Aunt Lynnet and Shyloh came over to help; that's how bad it got. The girls where up at 4:30 and slept on the couch by mama. We need tons of prayer. We are hoping she gets better real soon. But for now we just need prayer.

Lucy a.k.a. Lulu

O.k. I know I haven't (or any of us for that matter!) blogged in like, FOREVER!!! So I have a little bit of time and am allowed to blog:) So here we go......

Meet Lucy a.k.a. Lulu, she is a female teacup (or mini) Chihuahua. I found her running up and down the street late last month. I begged Mama to let Shelbie and I go try to catch her, she caved in and said OK. Shelbie and I with help from our neighbor chased her for about a half hour, finally we cornered her and caught her. At first she was a little mean, but after about 15 minutes she was Shelbie's and my

best friend. She was so sweet.

We called the pound to come and pick her up,

but by the time they got here none of us wanted to give her up. We wanted to keep her until we found her owners. Mama, who also had wanted to keep her persuaded the pound lady to let us keep her until we found her owners.She said it was fine, she scanned her to see if she had a microchip and she didn't. She said that we could keep her until we found her

owners, but we needed to put up posters and put found adds in the paper. We put 2 found adds in the paper,put posters up, put a found add in the Pound paper too, and even asked a couple people if they had lost there dog. We never found her owners. The pound said that if we did ever thing in our power (and we did) to find her owners and no one claims her, she is legally after 2 weeks.
Lucy almost right away she fell in love with me, and I the same with her. She follows me around the house, sleeps with me and even greets me with dog licks when I get home. Everybody laughs and says that "she is so ugly and only I would love a thing such as her."=) Maybe it is true, but I would and will never stop loving her or trade her. Daddy said I can keep her,

so now she is MY puppy! I LOVE LUCY:)

I'M AN UNCLE!!!!....

Shyloh came over the other day and sat on the couch. Mama said are you alright? She said no I need to talk to you. Mama said OK. Shyloh and Mama went up stairs and Shyloh said I am pregnant. Mama was so surprised. But happy at the same time. 3 days later Jeff and Shyloh were over and Jeff told Shayden, Shadd and me that Shyloh was pregnant. We were so excited. Now she is 6 weeks along. I can not wait to be a Uncle!!

The Bubbling Explotion

Three days ago we did a science experiment. We made a volcano that overflowed. It was called "The Bubbling Eruption". We put 1/2 cup of liquid soap, 3/4 cup vinegar, 1 cup water, and 4-5 drops red food color all in a bowl. Then we put 1/2 cup baking soda in a 10-12 oz. can, we surrounded the can with sand. Then we poured the liquid ingredients in the can and watched it overflow!
It was really cool. The stuff is gross, but you should try it! Just don't do it in the house!

MY KEEPER STRIPER!!!!!

Daddy, Shannen, and I went fishing on Friday the 23. We got up at 5:45. We got dressed, got our lunch and left. We got a donut for breakfast. When we got to Rio Vista we got the boat in the water and took off. When we got to the spot we started fishing. We waited for an hour. Then I caught a fish. But it was not a keeper. I caught a 2nd fish a half an hour later. Then I caught a 3rd fish. Then 2 hours later I caught a big one. It was 9 lbs and 30 inches. It took me 3 minutes to reel up. Then ten minutes later daddy caught one. It was 17 inches so daddy let it go. Then we went home and had fish the next night and went to the hay maze that night.

Prayer for Megan

I normally don't blog..because I don't have a blog, but I got permission from Shaylah to use her blog to ask for prayer for my cat, Megan. I have had Megan for 11 1/2 years. I found her when she was a kitten and I was only 4 years old, and has been with me her whole life. I love her very much, and she is very attached as well as devoted to me. She follows me around the house all day, meowing when I'm not in the room.

Megan got very sick a few weeks ago, and since I didn't have the money to take her to the vet, we took the home route for healing. She is on the road for recovery now, but is still not 100% well. The disease attacked her eyes and left her completely blind in her left eye and only partly seeing in her right eye. We are trying to help her keep the little sight she has left, but it will take a miracle to completely heal her. She keeps getting bloody noses from the disease, as well as from running into stuff. So all prayers are really appreciated.

Thanks.

HAIRCUT!!!

For about 5 years I have been begging Mama to let me cut my hair. I wanted to cut it right below my shoulders. Mama kept saying "No" because she loved my hair. She said that if she could have any one's hair she would have mine. My hair is really thick and hard to take care of, so I usually just put it in a pony. Mama finally said "whatever, do what you want. It's your hair."

I was so excited to cut my hair. I made a appointment and went in as soon as possible. Grammy came with me and took some pictures. I LOVE my hair now and it is easy to take care of it. Here are some pictures of "Before" and "After".
