Sickness never presents itself at a good time!

We are scheduled to leave for Disney tomorrow night, and Ivee has been up with fever since 3:30 a.m. Ethan became sick this past Monday with congestion, ear ache and sore throat. Ivee started getting congested Tuesday night, so yesterday I took them to urgent care. Ethan definitly had a "red" middle ear, and Ivee's was turning pink. So, they started antibiotics last night. Then her fever came this morning, so I guess I got on top of that one quickly. I normally let sickness run it's course, but with vacation coming this week, I wanted everyone to be well. I'm praying that God will allow the trip...for all of our sakes, but mainly my kids. Especially Ivee. I know God doesn't owe us anything, but in mommy's eyes, she deserves this trip. So, I'm praying selfish prayers today, and praying that God is gracious in allowing them. I know all things work for the good of those who love him...

Okay enough of my self-absorbed prayers...
 Asking for prayer for Johnny and Anderson. Both are having real side affects of their tumor removals. Johnny had to have a feeding tube inserted this weekend after having difficulty swallowing. Anderson just had tumor reduction, and will have a trach and g-tube put in this afternoon after side affects. So, please pray for these two little ones and their families.

Ivee is FOUR years old!!!!

Ivee celebrated her 4th birthday this past weekend. She loves many things, but decided on the Dora Theme (cause mommy could make a cake easily of that)!
Here is the cake mommy made her or Dora and her cousin Deigo on a purple Aztec themed cake.
Then she wanted to take some pics after big sister Brittney fixed her hair and makeup.
My Ivee is a girly-girl!!


Ivee with Grandma Long at the party...
Ivee and her daddy. She loves to rub on his head!!!
It was some hard work trying to blow out the candles!!!
Present time...she got Dora's Backpack and many pretty clothes!
She is a huge puzzle fanatic!!! So, a $5 puzzle is just her thing!!!
She informed her cousin Haley that this backpack was hers!!! (Haley had gotten one a few weeks before for her birthday!!! Ivee was the jealous one then!
And of course......she loves money!!!!
In the end, she ended up on the couch with the puzzle we got her!
Thanks to everyone that has wished our girl a very happy birthday! She is amazing!!
