3rd Times a Charm.....Right?!?

I had the joy of talking to Miss Delaney Lynn tonight!  Boy, that girl is cRaZy!!  She was all giggles and laughs tonight.  I would say one word and she would start cracking up....she has the best laugh, it's contagious!
I don't know....I just started thinking about how strong this little girl already is!!   Here she is getting ready to have her 3rd surgery(which is a lot considering she is only 4 years old) on Tuesday, and she is sitting on the phone with me laughing and being her silly self!  She is such an amazing little girl!!  For those of you who don't know what's going on with her right now....Dee has had constant sinus infections that antibiotics wont take care of, she is getting her adenoids removed for the second time, tonsils removed, and she also has some kind of mass in her sinuses that the Doctor couldn't make out.  So they have to go in and do a little exploratory along with cleaning her out.  Just think about how miserable it would be to have a constant sinus infection and runny nose?!  I would be a miserable person to be around....not dee though,  She has her moments like any other 4 year old, but she is happy and wonderful the rest of the time. 

I really feel that everything happens for a reason.  I pray that this is the last surgery she will have to have for a looooong time!  I know my sister doesn't think it, but she is so strong for being able to deal with all these medical situations with her kids.  I don't know how I would act if it was one of my mine.  They get sick and I want to cry because I know they don't feel good.  You never want to see your kids in pain, especially when they are so young.  I give her mad props for holding it together so well.  And I'm s  proud of both her and Kyle for taking her to Stanford and getting her the best care!! 
Her surgery is on Tuesday so I'm heading up there on Monday so I can stay back and watch Tanner along with my two kiddos since NO little ones can be in the hospital because of the stinkin swine flu!!!  They will have more fun back at the house torturing me anyways :)   PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE pray for Dee on Tuesday!!  We need that mass to be NOTHING!! and for them to clean her all out and get this little girl feeling good again!  She needs lots of thoughts and prayers PLEASE!!  I appreciate it so much.  Hopefully she will be up and feeling great by her 5th Birthday on November 4th :)  That would be so amazing!! 


I will keep you all updated on what happens.
Love ya,
Bri

Talked to Mo last night!

Mo-Bear called last night!!!! I hadn't talked to him since Sunday so I was glad to hear from him. HIS R&R DATES WERE CHANGED!!!! He's not sure why they got changed on him, but they did get switched to December 1st now. So he will probably be home around the 3rd?!? And who knows if this date will change as well? No, he wont be home for Christmas either:( HE will just miss Christmas, but that's ok...I think we will just have an early Christmas since it will be so close now. Heck, we might just celebrate AJ's b-day early as well that way he wont miss it! Although I was really looking forward to seeing him in a couple weeks, I think that this will be great to have him home so close to Christmas time!!! It's our favorite time of the year and it's such a bummer when we don't get to spend it together......now we wont feel like we missed out on it as much :)

He is doing good though! He gave me a list of some stuff he needs...I will post what he needs on here in case anybody is getting ready to send a box OR you can always hand the stuff over to me to add to a box that I'm sending if you don't want to worry about the shipping. I make sure that he knows who stuff is from and everything :)

What else, what else????? They switched their work schedule as well. They now work 3 days on the mountain that they watch out on, and three days off. It gives them a little more time to actually get a day off to relax. I guess that even when they are off they get called out on emergency things so they were ending up not really getting any time off. So, I guess this is going to work out better for them.

Around HERE:::Things are good! I just got done co-hosting Nancy's Baby Shower. It went well. It was a fun time and Nancy got soooo much wonderful stuff for Baby Sumo! She is going to be set for sure! I will post some pictures as soon as I get them loaded on my computer!

My mom has to move the Salon!! The building that they are in is getting tore down to put up at Auto Zone I think...it's some kind of auto store. We have been looking for new buildings and are pretty much between two. So once we get that narrowed down we will be moving the salon!! It's going to be bigger no matter where it goes so that will be kind of nice....more space is good!

Gracie and AJ are great! Gracie is a busy little gal at preschool and AJ is busy around the house and any where else he goes. He's always on the move and still getting more teeth in so he has his grumpy moments!!

That's all for now...I will post the list of stuff for mo and the pix as soon as I can!

Love to you all!!!

Kyle got home on Saturday night!

Kyle got back this last Saturday! He arrived in Sacramento Airport around 9:45 pm. The kids were so excited to see him and welcome him home.

Waiting...


AJ is so excited and tired...

AJ being silly. See his teeth?!

Britt made the kids some signs...

these vets were there to welcome home service members. A group of Marines were on the same flight as Kyle was.

Britt digging a sign out of the trash

There they are...

Ok, so look at the vet in the picture below....you know this is why they welcome these guys home. There is nothing in the world like it...

Big papa see's his big mama :) ha ha...

He hasn't seen AJ since he was 4 months old.....he has changed just a little bit.

So the Hackett Fam is all back together and enjoying their new home and new schools.

These pictures were all taken with my phone so they are pretty horrible quality, but way cute so I had to post them :)

AJ' s first time on a swing...this one was a while back.....

My cool little dude.....

Sissy feeding her bro....

AJ loves to climb up the stairs. He thinks it's hilarious.....

Hello! Things have been busy around here like usual! AJ has been sick for pretty much a month straight :( Poor little guy just couldn't catch a break. He's gone from virus, to stomach flu, to cold, flu again, cold again, and now he has ear infection. He is on some antibiotics right now and it really seems to be helping him cuz he's in a much better mood. So, hopefully we are on the rode to recovery with him.

Gracie is still great! She has managed to stay healthy regardless and her brother. She is learning so much in Pre-k . She has been memorizing Bible versus and working on her writing skills. This week they had share day along with a pony named cupcake coming to visit them....it was a great week for her :) She misses her Daddy alot though. She talks about him daily and daddy doll pretty much goes every place that we go. That is what she took for her share day as well. She hasn't talked to him in a while so hopefully that will change soon. Little miss has a Birthday coming up at the end of the month!!! She can hardly wait. Her b-day is on a Monday this year so I'm taking cupcakes to her school to celebrate and for dinner she wants to go to her favorite place "ab spurs"---AJ Spurs. What 4 year old wants to go there for their b-day?!?

I've started back stong on my Arbonne again....so far, so good.

I've been co-planning Nancy's Baby Shower which is taking place next month, planning Gracie's B-day, along with a sick little guy...I've been managing to keep myself busy! Even though this deployment really sucks, I feel really blessed that I actually get to be in California during a friends pregnancy. And other friends seem to be popping up pregnant as well!!!! It's so great! So, now that Aj seems to be getting better I have to take advantage of this time that I'm home and see my girlfriends way more than I have been!! That is my goal!

Mo-Bear---He is hanging in there. I talked to him a few days ago and he didn't sound the greatest. He is extremely tired and over worked right now. He is at a new location now. He is at some small base called COP Rath and it's by some little town ( I will get more info on it, I just haven't talked to him a ton lately so give me time) He has a new address as well so I will ad that to the end of this post. He did get packages from Rex, Trish, and Ash!!! He said thank you guys so much!! He loved the package. It made him feel really good that you guys thought of him. He also got one from Miss Alana!!! He enjoyed that one as well and says thank you!!! That was so sweet of you guys and I really appreciate it! His bro Eric has also been working hard on getting Mo tv shows on an external hard drive that his mama bought him! I'm going to be sending that out today and I know he is going to be soooo stoked to get that! Also, my uncle mike gave me a crazy amount of gum to stick in the packages!! Thanks uncle mike!!! I'm sending some of it out today...the guys will love it!! Thanks for all the love you guys! It means the world to Mo, and therefore it means the world to me!! PLEASE keep that Mo and his guys in your prayers. They really need it now more than ever!!!

On a brighter note....Kyle Hackett gets home from his deployment TOMORROW!!!! We are heading up today to be there when he gets back!! Everyone is so excited to have him home. My sis has a cute little house on base that she has been fixing up for his arrival. Kyle hasn't even seen his new home yet, but I know he is going to love it. We have an exciting weekend planned that's for sure! I'll take some pix and post them up!
