Update on Bogey

Many of you have asked about how Bogey is doing so I wanted to post an update.

Bogey is in surgery as I type this. Please be in prayer for Dr. B and the team that is working on him to repair his leg. We will probably not seee him again today as they want to keep him overnight for observation after the surgery is complete.

I will post again once we get him home with pics to let you know how he is doing. Thank you so much for your concern, it means so much to Bogey, Carey and I, and especially the kids. They love him so much and it is really become sad for Taylor as it became real once the Dr. explained to her what was going to happen.

Love and Prayers,

Recipe? Smecipee!

Ok. Im not big on recipes because I just dont really have any. My mother taught me to cook from scratch and that is always just the way I have done it. This is why I have no recipes.

Therefore I am giving you something very easy and VERY good. It's a desert and I call it Cherry Delight.

Here is what you need:

1 Angel Food Cake

1 Large box of Cool Whip

1 Large can of cherry pie filling

1 Large box of Vanilla Instant Pudding

Directions:

Tear cake into small pieces and place into a large resealable dish like tupperware. Then after mixing the pudding, pour it over the cake pieces evenly. You might need to spead with a spatula. Then after the pudding has soaked into the cake, pour cherry pie filling in on top of this. Spread the entire contents of the cool whip tub over the top and chill.

There you have it! Not healthy by any means, but entirely delicious!

If you havent played along with Brent's MckLinky bloghop, now is the time! Its allot of fun and you meet some great people.




Love and Prayers,

Sad day at The Fort

Today Popa (Tim's Dad) came and took us to Pappadeaux's for lunch. It was a great time, and its always great to see Popa. The kids just LOVE their time with him.

So does Bogey. Bogey just loves Popa so much (because he plays with him ALLOT) that when Popa had to leave Bogey jumped from Carey's hands and fell to the ground breaking his right hind leg in two very serious places.

He is to have surgery hopefully sometime Monday morning hopefully to save the leg. There is literally no connection of the bones now it is just that bad. We can only hope and pray that the surgeon can find a way to pin it back in place so that he can still use it. He will for sure have lasting effects as he grows older as the break occured right at the joint in a growth plate.

Please keep our Bogey in your prayers tonight. As you will see from the pics, he is not feeling so good today. Today it was a sad day at The Fort.





Love and Prayers,
