This will fit your Facebook Timelines.

    

 This particular image works great as a cover-photo on the new Facebook Timeline.  I left the bottom left area open where your profile image will be.  If you would like one of these with your name please leave me a comment and I'll gladly create one.  There is of course no charge. This little charm came from Leigh a couple of years ago at Heartfelt Perfections.blogspot.com  She creates amazing designs!  

Today found me standing naked from the waist up and having a camera photograph  my breast!  Yep...you read that right!  My Girls.  My "Other" Girls as I often refer to them.  This is hopefully step one in  having a much needed and wanted Breast Reduction.  

I just assumed all these years that my insurance company would consider this Cosmetic Surgery.  There is also a part of me that felt like I shouldn't alter what God gave me.  Yet, in the past few months I've been told repeatedly that having this surgery should greatly improve the strain on my back plus rid me of the cyst in my right breast.   For years...years....it's been a dream in the back of my mind.  Not often spoken out-loud unless jokingly. I would never want plastic surgery to "improve" or "change" the way I look.  I'm okay with myself. Besides, you can't improve on perfection!! hahaha  However,I'm ready to have this girls reduced!  I was ready for him to say, "We can schedule you tomorrow morning"!  It's amazing this feeling of gratitude I'm having towards this!  It's overwhelming me!!

I became emotional as the surgeon and I discussed their size, my height, the incisions, the healing process, the details of how he would cut here and here then move this here....I didn't expect to have an outpouring of tears but they showed up and fell freely all over "The Girls" and the surgeons hands!  : o    He said he hadn't had anyone get so emotional in a long time....silly me!  I tell you I think the tear ducts they placed in my eyes are working overtime!!  

Step two is waiting 30-40 days for the insurance company to send approval to myself and to Dr. Wendel.  Once we have written approval the surgery will be scheduled.  Surgery is hopefully same-day, a week to 14 days of recuperating and no lifting.  Then...a new figure with less back pain!  Whoohoo!

so...here I sit in my pj's and wonder what it'll be like to have a smaller girls and less backpain...  
hummmm....  : )

Jersey is ONE !

There are no words to express how much fun I had planning this party with Stephanie for Miss Jersey!  

It was a smashing success! 

 Following are just a few photos from her big day and a few of our ideas we took  from Pinterest!

 Jerseys first taste of anything sweet.  She loved Memes Strawberry Marshmallows!  

 Jerseys "Forever Candle Musicbox"  the candle actually blows out.

 Mommy suggest she touches the cake and her expression shows how she feels about her hands getting dirty!  

 Daddy decided to pitch in and show her how to do it!    

 I love this!  It's so Jersey!  Deep in thought and studying what's in front of her.  

She gets so serious!

This is her "will you please get this off of me look!"  

Now..Group picture...or not...lol!  

Trying to get them all together was a task! and I'm only posting a few of the attempts!   

Pay attention to Carson in the middle...He's stiff as a board!  

 one down....one backwards, one being "cheesy", we're getting closer....

 Lost Carsons face when Jaxon took off behind Zoey.  Poor Payton (left of Carson looks so unhappy...)

 Major malfunction!  Zoey upset, Riley and Jersey to her rescue.  Lost Bella's focus....

Memes final attempt.  Whew...They were as difficult as the adults at Christmas and the Family Reunion!  lol

Opening Gifts:

 Jerseys first gift was 2 penguins from Don and Marichen.  

Uh oh...she loves penguins!  

 She kept turning around checking on her two new buddies!  It was so cute!  

 Yee-haw!  Riding on the caterpillar!  

 A new teaching puppy!  Yea!   She loves her first one!

 uh oh...just as she went to open it she hit her lip on the corner..   : (

 Her own kitchen with an apron like Mommys!  I see cupcake batter in the future here!

 Enjoying some time with Pop and Uncle Larry.  She's so tired and such a trooper!  

A few of our Pinterest creations:

 Strawberry flavored popcorn...yumm!

find the recipe at Food.com  

 Cupcakes to Go.  Okay,,,they're called Cupcakes in a jar, we called them Cupcakes to go because we knew early on some of the kids attending wouldn't be able to stay so we could send them home with one of these little babies!  They were very good!  

 My take on Mother-Jetts (my grandmother) Pink Salad.  A great family recipe that I slaughtered years ago...however my kids loved it so I make it both ways now!  lol

White Chocolate dipped Oreo and Pink Sugar Wafers

 Strawberry Marshmallows dipped in Milk Chocolate and rolled in sprinkles!  Jerseys loved hers!

 Coconut Puffs on Chocolate wafers and Pink Stripped Pretzels with White Chocolate

 mini cupcakes for the wee ones!  

 Jerseys "Crooked Cake" with gumballs

 Foam Banner made to fit in the cameras viewfinder!  We didn't like the great big long ones.

BonBons!  

One Special Birthday Girl.  

One Special Day! 

Thank you Stephanie and Jamie for allowing MeMe to have so much fun creating!  

I love you all!
