Isabella Marie Brackee-Hampeys

My Hubby's cousin Amber had a baby girl on January 24th, 2009. She has been in the NICU at Fairview-Riverside ever since then. She will be going home on Friday to start a new life. Amber is very excited to start a new life as a new mother along side her fiancee Wayne who is also really excited to be a dad. Congrats you two! Please keep them all in your prays for the challenges they may face along the way and all of the awesome memories they make together.

Here are some pictures of Isabella:

This first one is a picture of isabella's stomach about a week and 1/2 after surgery. She had what is called a double bubble. Its where her stomach was litterally twisted around its self.

This is a picture of Wayne and his new baby girl. Wayne pride and joy. He was falling asleep along with Isabella.

These 2 are of Isabella opening her eyes for the first time to see her surroundings

This is about 8 hours after she was born. She was born at 11:52pm and we went back at like 9am to visit her. She is such a cutie

Prayer

Please keep our cousin Amber in your prayers. Also keep her boyfriend Wayne in your prayers awell. Please keep their new little one, Isabella Marie in your prayers as well. She was born at 36 weeks along. She is in NICU at Fairview- Riverside in Minneapolis right now. Please pray that she will be able to keep her food down when they try in the next couple of days. Also pray that she will be able to go home as soon as wednesday instead of staying for 14 days. She was born at 11:52pm on January 24th.

Thanks for the prayers.

Finished Project!!!

Our project was lmost done other than the door was missing. Thanks to my dad, Ray for coming over to and putting our door in for us. Without him, our door wouldnt be as straight as it is. Thanks for taking time out of your day, Dad! We really appreciate it.

These are the finished pics of the door.

Now the only thing left to do is to put trim on the door, tape edges with sheetrock compound and finish painting our room. Those pictures are to come after its all done.

Christmas at the Grot's

Yesturday Dan and I went to my parents house for christmas. My 2 step sisters, Molly and Jess were there. Jess is son CJ was also there. My sister and brother-in-law, Sarah and Brad (What's up with the Paulsons) came down from Bemidji to celebrate Christmas as well.

Here are some pictures of the fun night.

This is my Dad, Ray, with 2 of the 3 items we got him. A utility knife, tape measure and an ornament. The belt was from his grandson, CJ.

This is my step sister, Moll with the earrings Dan and I gave her. We also got her 2 puzzles.

These 2 are of my nephew CJ with some of his presents. The top one is with his new sweatshirt from Sarah and Brad. The bottom one is with his new cars stuff that he got from Dan and I.

This is my brother-in-law, Brad with the mug that we got him. It has Minnesota Wild on it.

This is my sister, Sarah with the ornament that we got for her.

This is CJ holding his new "Eve" robot that he got for Christmas. He got the "Wall-E" robot for his birthday.

Replacement!

Well Dan and I decided that Star wasnt working out for us. She wasnt getting a long with any of the animals, would never listen to us or anybody. Potty Training wasnt working either. So we decided to take her back to the shelter and trade her in for some other dog. His name is Champ and he is a German Shepard Husky mix. He is roughly 6 months old.

These are a couple pics of him.

Just kidding. Dan's mom got him a German Shepard for Christmas since he has asked for one ever since his ran away when he was a kid.

This is the 2 of our dogs together with my hubby, Dan

Happy Birthday Hayden!

I really wish we could be out there for Hayden's 1st birthday but we cant afford to go out there. The last time i seen him was in September when he came here with my brother. I miss them all very much. This is the only picture I have of Hayden on this computer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG GUY!!!
