Buy a pizza help Alisha!!!

We had such a great time and it was so wonderful to be surrounded by friends and family and so many warm hearted people that we had never even met yet. We are so grateful to everyone!!!
I just love everybody!!
We had a great fundraiser for Alisha at Straw Hat THANK YOU SKIP!! Skip is the owner of the Straw Hat and he donated 50% of every pizza order if the person said "Alisha" when they ordered!!! We have to wait until this afternoon to know how awesome it was!!! I know that It was awesome!!!!
Jeff has been taking such great care of us!!! finding all kinds of things and putting together such great publicity for Alisha and such great research for every thing that we could ever possibly need while we are in New Jersey!!! I LOVE YOU JEFF!!!! I know that you would go and take care of us there if you could.
As of yesterday Jeff found Free airline tickets for Alisha & I (Special needs kids program) almost even better then that it's a NONSTOP FLIGHT (Thank you baby!!) round trip. Yea!!!! With two kids two suitcases at least one carry on and a car seat..... I don't think that I can thank him enough!!! He is still working with the special needs program to make sure that we can buy a ticket for Mataya on the same flight... We have been really busy! So much so that I'm not sure why that is a detail that still needs to be ironed out.. I know that he told me but my tired brain doesn't take everything in...
I want to put in a special thanks to Andrea!!! Thanks for standing outside being dorky with me so I didn't feel homeless with the signs all by myself!! Thanks to all are friends who made sure that they ordered pizza last night and to the families who bought extra to freeze. To all of Jeff's coworkers... Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks again everybody!!!

This actually happened in December '08 We bought tons of new games before and during Christmas time is was so fun!! We haven't bought any new games in a long time. We just kept playing them until we had played them all and that took a very long time. Then we played our favorites again!!!! It was awesome!!!! Jeff also got me a new camera for my birthday. It takes great outside pictures but inside are still really tricky but we took lots of pictures playing games too!!!!! This came is called "Ticket To Ride" we really like to play it and we thank Erin & Chad for introducing it to us and our friends and family for always being ready to play games!!!

Oh my heck it's really happening!!

We have been going through the steps of getting Alisha to this awesome feeding clinic in NJ for a very long time. We had to fax or original application again because they lost it and that is why we weren't getting a call. Pam (clinic coordinator) remembered me from other calls before and she was able to find Alisha's DVD so we didn't have to start over with that.. THAT was HUGE!!!!! Anyway, I called her today to tell her that we faxed Alisha's app the day before and wanted make sure that they got it. Pam said that they got it and that they had already had a meeting about Alisha and that she was checking on our insurance and that she would call me in a couple of hours and that Jeff and I should be going over the calendar and see when we would like to come. .............
We will be there in clinic June 22nd to July 24th. I'm sooo excited!!! Pam says that she thinks that they can get Alisha eating in four weeks but we are scheduling another week just in case!!! Nine weeks from now we will be in Jersey!!! CRAZY!!!!!! I just looked and it Normally rains four inches during that time of year but it is almost ten degrees cooler then Sacramento.. :D Jeff started to get on the Internet and asked me where I wanted to stay. I was able to tell him the exact address of the holiday inn in Parsippany off the top of my head... Then I asked if that made him feel any better. He said a little... I think he is going to fly out with us for a day or two. Tell ya what!!! I'm gonna want him to have some days off when I get back!!! ;) He's going to upgrade my phone coverage to include GPS for that month. That ought to help!!! :D

No laughing even when the cows come home...

Sorry it's been so long maybe I will get some of the other stuff filled in later. At least it's a good thought!! As for now I'm recovering very well from my Gall Bladder removal and I have been doing great at home!! I haven't laughed hard since Friday when I went in for surgery. If you know me at all you should be impressed!! Which leads me to tell you about last night. My Dad went grocery shopping and bought four gallons of milk, 10 lb. bag of potatoes 13lbs of chicken. sounds fine if your used to big club family shopping. Later that night I was reading on the couch and Jeff came home with 3 gallons of milk, 17 1/2 lbs of chicken, 10 lbs of potatoes along with some yogurt, grapes, etc. It was so funny to see my Dad's face when Jeff walked in the door with groceries. I was doing some Lamaze breathing!! I was also "Mooo ing" and then some more Lamaze breathing so that I could tease them without hurting myself!!! (very important!!) Lamaze is awesome!! I even managed some "Ei ei oh.." (blow blow blow DON'T SMILE!! blow) :D Dad suggested that we could try freezing some of the milk. I suggested that we could make some MILK shakes. Dad said "I can't have any I drank a whole bottle of OJ to make the milk that I bought fit on the shelf!" Lamaze was just enough to save me!!!!! :D
