It has been pretty frantic around our house as it is around most everyone's this time of the year.
We have been trying to make some of the football games and the basketball games, working, and just everyday happenings as most of ya'll have.
Daddy had surgery again last Thursday, December 11, 2008 and had two more stints put in his heart. He is doing remarkably well. I told the Dr. that if he feels better now than what he did after the first stint I didn't know how we were going to stand him. All kidding aside we are very blessed that he is doing so well.
All of the kids and grandkids are anxiously awaiting the Christmas break. If you read Tammy's Blog you know they have been very busy and all need to rest.
LaShae has been very busy with her school work and clincal rotations. She is just really enjoying school. The other day she came home from visiting a friend and his parents at Big Lake, Texas with a new puppy. Her reasoning behind getting a new puppy is that Quilla was lonely. The new puppy is a miniature Austrian Sheperd. He is very cute BUT he is a puppy and all that goes along with the puppy stage.
Wendell and I got an invitation to go to Lubbock and here Bailey sing at her school last week. However we weren't able to go because it was the same time as Daddy's surgery. Bailey is a member of the Honor's Choir at her school and they were doing the Christmas program. I hope they will have another performance and I will be able to go to it. Bailey has several sheep on feed and getting ready to start showing them. I think her first show will be at Lubbock County. If the weather permits we will go and watch her. We missed her showing two years ago because of icy roads and I felt so bad about missing it. Mike reminded me that there would be other shows. But there want ever be another 1st County Show for Bailey and Nana and Pop missed it.
It is just a few days away from Christmas and we would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. As you travel our prayer is that the Lord will place His hedge of protection around you.
May God Bless you.

GOING HOME
This past weekend was a very difficult weekend for our family. On Saturday, September 13, 2008 we attended the funeral of my Dad's younger brother, Uncle Wayne. That day was also the 4th anniversary of the death of my nephew, Whit. With the passing of time it makes 9/13 a day that is easier to get through.
Uncle Wayne's service was very special. Some of the grandkids spoke about their relationship with Grandad and how special it was. Each grandchild had his/her own place in the heart of Granddad and each one was special. You just knew that everytime you went to see Bettye and Wayne memories were going to be made. Beth, the best daughter-in-law Uncle Wayne had,(according to her, of course she was the only daughter-in law) gave a very touching reinactment of her time as a "Wilson" and how she always stayed red-faced around Uncle Wayne. Of course if you turned red-faced around Uncle Wayne it just delighted him and he just kept on.
Listening to the kids talk about the times at Granny and Granddad's and the memories they will always have was so touching and you knew that everything they were saying was coming from the heart. Aunt Bettye and Uncle Wayne left an awesome legacy.
Aunt Bettye and Uncle Wayne always made you feel at home when ever you went to see them. Anytime you were around Uncle Wayne you never knew what to expect. I can still hear Aunt Bettye saying "Wayne Wilson", when he would get a little too ROWDY and when she spoke that tone Uncle Wayne knew he was in trouble. Of course it didn't stop him from picking on someone anyway.
As a grandparent I pray that my grandchildren will have good memories of coming to Nana and Pops house and know that our love for them is unconditional.
Uncle Wayne will be missed but he is home now with his love, Aunt Bettye and his savior Jesus Christ.

September 4, 2008
Summer is over. Fall is here and Wendell and I are preparing to start following the grandkids to all of their functions that we can possible make.
Tammy's family. Rheaden has his first PeeWee football game Saturday morning in Post. He is excited and we are excited for him. D'Nae is a varsity cheerleader again this year so we will be traveling to football games on Friday nights. Pop maybe watching the game but Nana will be watching the cheerleaders. Maegen is a first grader this year so she isn't involved in any sports YET. Of course she is pretty entertaining no matter what she is doing.
Mike's family. Bailey is involved in showing sheep (who would have thought that) and she has shown at a few summer jackpots. The South Plains Fair will be her next show and it is the end of this month. We are planning on going to watch her. She is a pretty good sheep shower. Kayla is 4 years old and she can't wait until she is old enough to show.
LaShae. LaShae is feeling better. While she was sick she missed 3 weeks of school and the Coordinator at the school gave her until 8/29/08 to do all of her make up work plus stay on top of everything else. God is good.---She completed all of her make up work and took her last make up test on 8/25/08. Wendell and I are so proud of her. It was a very stressful time for her because she still wasn't feeling good and was still in pain. She had alot to deal with but came through it well. We want to thank everyone that was praying for her during her illness. Take time to thank God for your family and know that He is there for you at all times. He is our strength when we are weak.
When our vision is clouded by circustances.....
GOD SEES CLEARLY
When our understanding is shadowed by questions......
GOD KNOWS PERFECTLY
When our path is shaded with uncertainty.....
GOD LEADS FAITHFULLY

TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2008
Well it has been quite awhile since I added anything to this BLOG. It seems our lives have been really busy yet I don't feel like I have acomplished anything.
After missing nearly 3 weeks of work while LaShae was in the hospital I have been trying to catch up on office work. I asked my boss if he would just fire me and he said "Sure just as soon as you get caught up". I think that is going to be a few years down the road.
LaShae is still having some pain issues and they are still running tests trying to pin point the problem. She is about to complete all of her make up work for missing school (deadline is 8/29/08) but it is difficult when you don't feel good. We try to encourage her to just get it done and turn it in. Do the best you can, anything is better than a -0-.
School is in full force for all the grandkids. I got to see Tammy's three kids yesterday after school and they seemed to all like school. Maegen (6 yrs old) came into our house last night after watching Rhaeden (11 yrs old) practice football and headed straight to the ice box. She was hungry. D'Nae (16 yrs old) came by the office and visited with me. She has a new basketball coach and she had to tell me all about it.
I talked to Mike's two kids on the phone and they each had a good day. Bailey's (10 yrs old) best friend was back at the same school and that was very unexpected. Kayla (4 yrs old) said she has a NEW best friend. But she couldn't remember her name.
My oldest daughter (39) has been ragging on me about updating my BLOG. Maybe I will do a better job than what I have been doing.

Not Home....
Well, they did the CT Scan this morning and found 2 abcesses in her abdomen. Oral antibiotics won't touch them so they have to treat them with IV antibiotics. They contacted the Surgeon and decided to do a needle aspiration to drain the abcesses. Mom just called and said the nurse told them they should be doing it in the next couple of hours. They will take her down to Radiology to perform the procedure.
At this point Her spirits are low !!! She is sooo tired of being sick and ready to go home. They thought she would be able to be home today...but...not yet. Will just have to see what tomorrow holds.
