Birthday Boy

Today marks another birthday in the Hayes family, today is my wonderful husbands birthday. We have much planned for today, to DO NOTHING!!! LOL April is a big month in our family, we have 4 birthdays. We have so much to be thankful for. God has and continues to bless us each and every day. It is so awesome to look back on our life together so far, to see the many journeys we have made and the blessings he has bestowed on us. To think what he has in the future for us and our family is so overwhelming, I can not begin to imagine. I finished my first week of returning to work and boy it was a blow to this ole body. I thought to be ready and felt really good but oh well I survived, it was good to be back, but exhausting. Each day will get better and I will be stronger with each day. Well enough for today, hope you all have a blessed day. God be with you all.

Birthday Girl!!!

Today was a wonderful day, it was my birthday and the many wishes and the messages on my phone and face book from all were so welcomed and made me feel so good and so loved. Started off with day of getting my breakfast bought by my Supervisor, What a TREAT! Received flowers from my Son and Daughter in Law from Mississippi, got a beautiful white basket of flowers arranged so pretty and made my desk look like a spring day. This evening two of daughters and one of my son-in-laws took me to the restaurant of my choice. We enjoyed a good meal and good time of fellowship and fun, my husband is out of town, so the girls did not want me sitting at home by myself especially on my birthday. I received a call from my two boys and my first daughter which live out of town, and was such a treat. I do indeed have five wonderful children and four wonderful son and daughter inlaws. Today was a good day and to finish it off will head off to relax and take this day in. God bless all of you and again many thanks for all the wishes.
Today is a special day in the life this mom , and I am truly blessed!! I have so many friends and yesterday was my first day back at work and I felt so missed and was welcomed back with open arms. It is good to be back. Today is a good day and for sure it is the Day that the Lord has made. May we rejoice in it. I was taken out to eat last night and will go again tonight, I love the celebration of the birthday all week long. Well many thanks for all the wishes and the welcome backs. May God bless you today!!

My little grandson, Brian has begun his treatment once again, he is such a brave little boy, to have to have done to him that no normal four year old ever has to have. My heart breaks when my daughter sends picture of my Brian whether he be waiting for blood to be drawn or waiting for chemo, I so pray everyday that God will take this disease from him and he will be able to lead a normal life once he is over his chemo. Also brave is my daughter, it is really hard on parents to have go through this that Brian is going through. They and I too only wish we could take this from him. When you ask your child how could I help you, and his response is pray for me and hold me, your heart breaks. Please continue to pray for Brian, that he will not suffer too many side effects from this chemo. This will be a year long, a long road to haul and with Gods Grace will be over in one year, and pray that our Brian is free from this disease. Thank you for all your prayers for our daughter and her husband and our precious Brian.

Last night we went to the baseball game of my granddaughter, Natalie, and boy howdy is was a tough game, we lost 18 to 5 to another team, but the greatest play of all was when Natalie was the third baseman and the other team hit a ball and it went right toward Natalie, she scoop it up and got the player out who was running from 2nd base to 3rd, the crowd went crazy, cheering and standing and clapping. At the end of the game, Natalie was awarded the game ball for a great play on behalf of her team. What a great Night, we are so proud of Natalie!!! Way to Go Girl!!!!
