One Year Later...


Dad and I after his final radiation treatment
August 2010

August 2010 was a great month because my Dad was finishing his treatment. August 2011 has been a fabulous month because my Dad got great test results!!! My Dad had another lab test and his results came back low which means he is cancer free:) We give all of our thanks and praise to the Good Lord above!! So to honor my Dad I donated 11 inches of hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths to be made into a wig. The wigs are made for women battling cancer to bring a little bit normalcy back to their lives.

I had discussed this with Nikki, my stylist, before {like a year ago} and she told me that I was not donating my hair we could find someone else to donate it for me! lol!  I prepared her with a text that morning so that she wouldn't try to talk me out of it:)

We measured and cut!
An 11" red hair ponytail that is headed to Pantene to be made into a wig! I hope that I see this on one of my patients one day:)

 

Thank you to Nikki for doing such a great job! I want be back for a long time:) Now on to biotin and horse shampoo! At least that is what I hear makes your hair grow...And I have already purchased both!!

The Big Top

I was so excited for this past weekend. I packed up all my breakables and tried to child-proof my house for the weekend. My twin nephews came to visit for the first time!! We always go to their house because it is just easier for everyone, but I was excited to have them all here.

My sister in law,Courtney, and I took them to the circus on Saturday Morning, while the big boys (Stephen and Nick) played golf.

Before the Circus, excited about the elephants!
Although Guy held onto me tight and watched out of the corner of his eye.
And Kline watched the whole things from Mom's lap
They had a great time!

Snow cones, anyone?!

Finally, THE ELEPHANTS!

So cute!

I just think it is amazing that these enormous animals can move around like this!

Horsey standing up!

We had a great weekend! Stephen and I are ready for them to come back!
