Surgery and more

This week has been a big week for Tyler. On Monday, he got to cut metal with the cutting torch for the first time. He would tell you, "Yeah! And I was in my good shirt, too!". He had had his picture taken at school earlier and I didn't stop to change his clothes before going to the ranch. He was so excited! I don't know who was more excited, him or Popa.




On Tuesday, Ty had his tonsils and adnoids removed. I forgot my camera so I have no "before" pictures, but we have two "after" pictures. I want to thank everyone who have been keeping us in your prayers, and thank my Mom, Popa, Granny, and our preacher Michael for coming. We are truely blessed to have family (blood-related and Christian) that care that much! In fact, Michael and Granny beat us there and we were even ten minutes early!

Sleeping on the way home
Ty is doing well. He didn't slow down at all! He has slept more, but other than that, we are having a hard time keeping him inside. He still says his mouth is burning occasionally, but that should pass after today according to the dr. We'll see!
Have a blessed day!

Gipson Easter '09

Here are some pics from our family Easter in Garland. We have lots of fun, food and hunting. The "big" kids even have their own hunt after the babies. What can I say... it's tradition!

My hubby entertaining most of the kiddos!

Waiting to hunt!

Maddie will get that egg!




Ty




Hunting for money now!





The BIG winner!


Maddie was more interested in hunting for what was in the cup than what is in the eggs.



These two are two peas in a pod!



Popa with his basket full of eggs to hide! I think this is the first year he actually got into the spirit of the "Bunny".


Travis learned quick!


Amber took a short cut... kind of.

Easter Parties '09

OK. I'm really slow at posting events so since I have an extra moment, I wanted to post a few pics from the kids school parties. Unfortunately, I put them in backwards and do not feel like moving them around so Sorry!

Kailee hunting. The wind was only blowing up to gust of 65mph so we held the hunt in the gym.

Most of these kids have been together since Tues/Thurs School



Ty really was happy about all his eggs!



Looking high and looking low!





...and GO!
