Girls Day Out...

Back in March or April Toree called me and told me that we should get tickets to go see Lion King at the Capital Theater in Salt Lake. Well I did the best I could and got 4 of them. Today was the day that we got to enjoy those tickets. Jenn, Elli, Toree & I spent the day in Salt Lake. We only almost got in a wreck 2 times..not bad I say. Anyway the show was AWESOME!!! Elli fell asleep on my lap and to a "power nap" for about 20 minutes. After the show we went to Chili's and had dinner. It was a great day spent with 3 of my favorite girls - I wish Chelsey & Ashley could have came with us but they had other things going on so they couldn't. Maybe next time!!
This is outside the theater

This is us waiting to get to our seats - we had a camera challenged lady take the picture

Texas, Hawaii, new baby..OH MY

This has been one crazy summer already!!! In May Billy & I drove to Lake Jackson, TX (a LONG) drive to see our Uncle Frank (Bud) & Aunt Lorna Witt. Frank is Billy's only living uncle on either side of his family!! Below it is Lorna, Billy, myself and Frank at a mexican resturant in San Antonio.

The San Antonio River Walk

The Alamo

In June I flew over to the island of Kauai to stay with Toree for 2 weeks. She was over there to be a nanny but things didn't work out. We had a great adventure and it was great to spend time with her and become better friends than we already were. Billy didn't get to go with me...he had to stay home to support my spending LOL

Po'Pui Beach

Toree & I on a boat doing the Na Pali Coast tour. Talk about beautiful!!

Just chillin' at the beach

the two of us at some waterfall

just one of the views

haha this wasn't supposed to be one of the pictures..but you can see the beach below. It is called Hideaway beach and it is one hell of a hike to get to but so worth it!!

"We love shave ice...they are yummy!!!

This is the Wilcox family...Brad, Royden, Cheyenne, Christy & Desi. They were our God sent angels!!! We ended up not having a place to stay..this awesome family let us stay in their apartment basement without even know who we were (scary). They became great friends and Toree & I appreciate them more than they will ever know!!!

Last week we got our 3rd grandbaby...Camden Brant McFarland was born July 6, 2010 weighing in at 7 lbs 14 oz and 21 inches long.

His head was getting cold so he had to get his beenie on

Isn't he the beautiful!!!

Aunt Toree holding him for the first time

Dr's Appointments...UGHHH

At the first of the month I went to my ob-gyn for my annual physical and then that same day I went to the Dermatologist for my annual check up. Along with the crotchtologist it was time for the yearly mammogram. Well here are the results from those appointments
1 - ob-gyn - my Cholesterol is a little HIGH - Ineed to eat a low fat diet and exercise which I already do.
2- ob-gyn - the blood test on my liver is also high - come back in a month and have it retested.
3- dermatologist - I had a mole on my leg that he took off - pre-cancerous - come back in a week and have more surrounding tissue removed.
4- mammogram - possibility of abnormal growth in the right breast - come back for more tests.

OK REALLY!!!! Every appointment I had there was something wrong UGHHH!!!
The Cholesterol isn't high enough to worry about so it's OK.
Won't know about the liver until next month.
The mole is gone and now I will have a 1 inch scar on my leg.
The additional tests on my breast all came back normal.
It was a very scary,stressful and emotional couple of weeks but I'm glad that everything turned out OK. I guess it is good that I keep up on my appointments so that nothing gets out of hand!
These are some pictures of my mole
The first one is after the Dr. had initially taken the mole off.

This is the chunk that was taken off my leg.
It is about the size of a quarter and about
1/2 inch thick gross!!

This is the aftermath. I told the dr. I
didn't want no big ass ugly scar there!!
I will post a picture after the stitches are
taken out.

NOT YET!!!

When Billy & I went up to mom & dad's before Christmas mom was showing me all her Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving Cactus that she has. I made the comment that I wish I could grow them before when they bloom they are REALLY pretty. Well mom told me that I could take 3 of hers. I told her that I would probably kill them, to which she replied "I have plenty more". Well as you can see i haven't' killed them and one of them actually bloomed. I took pictures so I would have proof!! Also much to my amazement this one has more blooms on it and is going to be even prettier than the first time. My mom has the greenest thumb when it comes to flowers and I'm sure she wonders where she went wrong with me!! LOL I must admit as I get older the thought of growing flowers is becoming a little more interesting to me (not alot though).

Amercia Concert

For Christmas Kim & Retta Hawker gave us tickets to the America concert in Wendover. It was last night in Wendover. The concert was AMAZING!!! America is one of my favorite groups and they did an amazing job performing. We got to Wendover in time for dinner and then was off to the concert. Afterwards I tried my hand at Roulette, I did pretty good - we only lost $30 LOL!!! Thanks Kim & Retta that was one great Christmas gift!!

Little man & Pretty girl

On October 29, 2009 Knox Allen McFarland made his debut into this world.

He weighed 8lbs 13 oz and was 20 inches long. His nickname has been Chenny since we found out Kenny & Chelsey were expecting. He really is a Chenny because he looks like both of his parents. He is a precious "Little Man' We are excited to finally have 2 grandkids now!!

Kenny & Knox - I think everyone has one of these pictures lol!!

Look at how precious his little hand is!

Knox with Jenn


This is Elli aka "Pretty Girl" Elli has been my pretty girl since the day she was born. Everytime I see her I say "hi pretty girl". I also tell her that she is my favorite grand daughter to which she tells me that she is my only grand daughter. We have a lot of fun together - it is fun to have her come to my house and do things with!

Elli being a little silly but still cute

Easter

Well I look at everyone's Easter pictures and feel a little sad. For Easter Billy & I went down to St. George..now don't get me wrong about going - I just don't have the pictures. We left on Friday and came home on Sunday. The weather was cloudy and a little cool on Saturday but was SUNNY and BEAUTIFUL on Sunday (of course). We spent Saturday with Toree shopping and just having fun! Sunday we went to church with her and Taylor. On the way home we decided to take the touristy route through Zion's and then we checked out the campground Ruby's Inn by Bryce National Park. I am always amazed at the beauty of these parks!! Well our Easter dinner was at Subway which was yummy probably cuz I was STARVING by the time we ate. So that was our Easter which was just fine with me.
