HELL!!! Black Friday!!

So when I woke up Friday morning I was thinking Posey and Ben were gone to shop for all the DEALS and my house was quiet for about an hour or two! And Rhett was with Walker and Eric was at soccer practice, I thought for a minute I had gone beyond the veil and then.... Joe showed up with his kids and asked if we wanted to go to go to a few stores and I said NOT NO but HELL NO!!! Well before I knew I was some what dress and off we all went! Joe,Rhett,Eric,Emma,Noah,Gwen and me! We went to the skate shop it was junk! I think the only thing we bought there was socks for Rhett! Then off to lunch! Someburros! It was so crowded but some how we were able to get a table and had a nice lunch together and then Joe said the wrong thing!!!!! Does anyone need to go anywhere else? So I quickly said sure lets hit Ross seeing it is Walkers birthday tomorrow! So off we went to Ross!! Joe was in there about 30 minutes and he came and found me and said "mom we got go i have to Poop really bad! I thought to my self he is now 28 years old and I still have the same trouble with him! When he was little, As soon as we get to the store he always has to go poop! I told him he is old enough to go in the store now and by his self!!! After Ross on to Old world market and then to Tillys! What a day!!! And by the way we did not find one good deal! But we had a fun day together!
As for today it was not quite as hectic. The Cowarts and Eric and I went to Lulus Target and we went to Cricket to get Eric a cell phone! "Berry Nice", and Ross
Then tonight it has been a 3 ring circus because Posey has friends and family over to visit and eat! It is nice we have enough room for everyone!
You should of seen Vance with Boone (our Dog)! Vance has teased him all day and Boone has bit him several times and Vance just cracks up laughing! Leave it to Vance to think that is funny! Vance is a cute and peculiar kid! We love the cowart boys! But they are a big handful! Just wait till baby grey gets older! WOW!!!
Tom had a great day at work today and we are thankful for that!
We are looking forward to going to Mexico with Monya Bon Bon and Eric Williams! I pray Monya will be strong enough to travel seeing she will have her second chemo round on Monday! And then Tuesday she will have her Nulasta injections! Monya has continue to amaze me in these pass 3 months! We all need to take note of her fight and faith! I LOVE that girl! In the worst of times she still makes me crack up! We ALL need to keep her in our every prayer and her family! It seems like I talk allot about her in my blogging but i can't tell you how much I enjoy the time I have with her as she goes through this journey and season of her life! I am telling you Monya had to be one of Heavenly Fathers most valiant warriors in the wars of Heaven before she come to this world!
Rhett had drivers training school today because he was stop by the police for not coming to a complete stop before turning right on a red light! He is happy that is over!'
Tom has to go to another Ward in the morning so release and to call some people in the Stake callings! It is so cute because Tom is over the Ward that Joe and Erin and the kids are in. And when Tom is on the stand the grand kids call "Pops"! I think they like it when Tom goes to there ward!
We will have birthday dinner for Walker tomorrow. We will put something on the grill!

I am so thankful 2009!

What a great day this has been!! Where do I start? I guess i should start by expressing my gratitude for all my blessings!
I am going to start with my family! I am so thankful to of had ALL of our kids and spouse and grand kids with us this thanksgiving! When Posey said Ieen was flying out also i was so happy knowing our family will all be together so now we get to have the dreaded family picture taken on Monday night .seeing that the last picture we have is missing the three "G"s.Gwen,Gage and Grey! so Rob will be taking the picture for us! It is always so hard to get all of us together but well worth it! We have decided to wear black,white and gray!
But back to Thanksgiving! not only our family are all together but... all seven of my brothers and sister were all there with their kids as well! the only nephew that was missing was Sam, who we miss ever so much and Reegan and Madison. I love All my nieces and nephews so much! Every single one of them are Darling! They are All so kind and respectful to me and I love and appreciate them so much!
We had a beautiful dinner. We all pitched in and cooked different things and every thing was perfect! We had 3 turkeys, 2 hams mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes Brussels sprouts,green bean,stuffing,cream corn,and..... Tanya's home made rolls ect...
and forget about telling you about the FREAKEN DESERTS, I heard they were great but I was to full to even try them!
And then the"Turkey Bowl" football game at the greenbelt! even the girls played this year! That is when the true colors of everyone comes out! It is more competitive than the super bowl! It is so funny because all the adults think their kid is the best and passes to them more! So that means we have to trade out quarterbacks every once in a while!
Eric, our exchange student got some REAL culture today! He had a great day even tho the juice from the ham we brought leaked out on to the sit of the truck and all over his pants! SUCKED to be him for those few minutes! but he was a good sport and I washed them and everything was just fine!
I am so thankful for my sisters witch includes Jami (She is more like a sister than a sister-in-law)we have so much fun when we are together and they are a huge blessing in my life!
My bothers including Bubba, are also great and i love them too and they are an other blessing as well!
I loved visiting with my mom! She was having a hard time with her feet. I wish I could take that pain for her!WE are all so blessed but sometime our bodies don't want to cooperate very well! I pray that she can rest her feet tonight and that her feet will feel better tomorrow
My dad he enjoys seeing all the kids and trys to say the right things and i know he loves his kids and does the best he can to help! I think he is lonely and that makes me sad.One day he will understand this life better! But i do love him!
I was thankful to talk so several friends and tell them how thankful I am for them as well! I am blessed with some very special friends!
Most of all i am thankful for my knowledge that we have a Savior and a Heavenly Father who knows me by name and he loves me and my family and my extended family and friends! If we all could gasp this knowledge we all would understand things much better! WE all have so much to be thankful for and we do not know all our blessings yet because there will be so many more if we just look and listen and look for the "Tender Mercies" in our life's!
Again i am thankful for a special dear husband that honors me and loves me in ALL my short failings. He does so much for our family and we are thankful for him! Tom I love you!
I could go on for ever about blessings! I do know for one thing that blessings come on the Lords time and we all need to be aware of that! Especially me!
I am going to close by saying thank you to all who made this day such a great one and I pray that every one had as great of a day as I did!
I am off to the shower and put my Origins body souplee on that Monya gave me and get in my bed witha piece of punkin pie! I think after eating at 1;30 and it is late now so i think a piece of pie will fit now!

I am trying to learn!!!

after i just started to log off my blog and posted my last blog, I remember that My Monya BonBon said to me at lunch yesterday, (yes we went to lunch again, Red Robin this time) asked me if i checked my comments? I said what the HELL is commits! For Hell Sake now I have to learn how to check my Danm commits for Hell Sakes??? I said know i did not know anything about commits! So BonBOn explained and told me to check for that when i got home! Well as i finished blogging and i had to pull my blog back up and check my commits or i would not be able to sleep tonight wondering!
I FOUND MY COMMITS on my blog and i felt so special that Nena, Monya and Sweet Kayla left me commits!Thanks so for taking the time to send me such sweet messages! I love this! If I could only spell and punctuate and type i might really get into this blog thing!I love you girls and thanks again!
Love,
Tamy

Hope the shopping is Done!

OK, I sure hope that everyone got all of there grocery shopping done and do not have to go back for any last minute thing! And I hope you took advantage of the great sales , I know I did!
This was an exciting day for me waiting for Posey and Ben and the boys to come in from IN. Baby Grey is so little! But when I look at him and remember when i saw him be born and fight to get strong, I know the Lords hands were in on that huge blessing in our life's!Bro- Bro was a little stand offish but, once I gave him a sucker I had him in the palm of my hand! Amazing what candy will do for you!And when I saw Vance of course it was a GRAND reunion! His face is always so animated and bright and cute! He was happy to see Mema and I was so thankful that Ben and Vance were able to come for Thanksgiving too! Posey wanted to go to Pei Wei to eat so we did and it was not as good as Rumbis! I can't get anyone to go to Rumbis with me and I have been craving it! Maybe I can talk Eric Williams into going with me since he loves it as much as I do! We are so Happy to have the Cowarts here with us! Thats something to be thankful about!
The 3 boys were so excited to see Pops and Memas new house and we are happy they came when they did because... we just got the news yesterday that this Fairview house sold tothe Wright family! We have prayed for over a year for our home situation (having two homes)would be resolved! There have been many times i would tell Tom we or I are not getting any answer to the prayers we had been asking for and felt like the Lord was not listening! Neither house would sale and we got to the final month where there was nothing else we could do! and then... the Wright family came and looked at it and fell in love with it! Then we had heard it could take up to 8 or more months for a bank to take a offer and then it would take alot of time to close but... the bank accepted the offer after a week or so and our home will close on December 15th! That is all so fast!
Why do i have to question the Lord so much? He has ALWAYS come through for me my whole life! We have to try to remember me especially have to understand this thing we call endure and know if we remain true and faithful to the end our prays will be answered! That does not mean that answers will always go my way, and when they don't at some point in my life I can always look back and understand why different things go different ways at different times and in the end I feel peaceful with the out comes! Not always easy tho! But we are extra thankful our home sold at a short sale than a foreclosure!
Now comes the fun part moving again! It is a good thing I know some strong boys! It is exciting for me to move back on my little gail drive again and it will be fun having Walker there with us!
All of the boys are on their annual camping trip the night before thanksgiving! I am sure they will have fun! I am sure Eric our exchange student is in for the time of his life tonight! He will be saying the whole time "WHY NOT" and "BERRY NICE", you have to know him to understand that joke!
Eric come home yesterday from his first soccer game and said the upper part of of the back of his thigh was scraped up from sliding on the grass! We told him it was called a strawberry and he said "NO THDAT FRUIT" we said well that is what you call it because it looks like a strawberry and he still said no that is a fruit and still thinks we are pulling his leg, no pun intended!
i am really looking forward to thanksgiving because all my sisters and bothers and their spouses and all their kids will all be together again! there will be two that are missing Sam and Peter Grey. Sam passed away a year ago in July and it has been seven years ago that Pete passed away. IT IS STILL HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THIS! I love those boys and look forward to our reunion when I meet them again in the Eternities!
Time is late and Vance is in my bed waiting for his snuggle buddy so i will close here and let you know how thanksgiving went!Love, Tamy
PS i hope i have enough pop for tomorrow!!!

Another Day at Frys and Cosco!

It is Tuesday and I have to catch up on the the last few days I have missed on my blog! I did say i would blog for my posterity and make an honest effort in doing so!
I am also scarred that Monya will get on my blog also and blog about things i did not say or do!
Sunday I did not feel like going to church because i did not feel real good and i felt i might just stay in bed and rest! But i as I was laying there the thought come to me, how can i ask for prayers to be answered when i can't get up and go to church! And what about the Savior? His pains! What kind of pain did the Savior go through just so I could have the life i have, and how unimportant my pains were compared to His!
So i jumped up threw on a dress washed my face ect... and put a little lipstick on and left for church! I found Tom sitting with Eric and Rhett on the stand preparing to bless the sacrament. I ended up feeling better after hearing our Sunday school lesson and it reinforced my toughs again how could i stay and bed and not even try to get to church!It was a perfect Sunday! The kids came over for left over mexican food! Mom and Ralph came also and brought over lettuce out of the garden and cokes and they to enjoyed the evening with all the big kids and the grand kids!
Monday i awoke early and ran to walmart to return a few things and then i was off to pick Monya up for an doctors appointment! I love the days that I spend with Monya because no matter how dreadful the day may be with doctors and chemo and injections and labs and so on we ALWAYS found a way to laugh and enjoy the time we have together! We talk about our kids alot and how sometimes we wish we could go back and do some things different! We Talk about our husbands and how thankful we are for Tom and Eric!We are very blessed to have spouses that honor and respect us the way they do! Monya took me to a new lunch spot called the Fire House Subs! they were the Bomb! I love the new places she takes me but I do have to say that so far my favorite place is Rumbi Island Grill! Love that place!
Monya was a champ like always at the doctors today! She was expanded some more and even with the pain she was in, she still wanted to go find some special Christmas stockings she was looking for and still made me laugh the whole day I was with her! What would i do without her example of Fighting With Faith! She is a Warrior! As I sat in the car to wait for her to finish shopping, I thought to my self she is the one right now that just left the Drs office and is in pain but it me who is sitting in the car feeling like i can't shop one more step!
I have decided not to take my injection this week and my infusions because, Posey and her family are coming into town this week and i do not want to be sick and not be able to play with her and the boys! I have not seen or held sweet baby GREY since he was a few weeks old! I can't wait to get my hands on him! i was so excited Posey was coming for Thanksgiving but really sad that she was not going to be bringing Vance but... Posey called yesterday and said that Ben and Vance were coming too! I am so excited to See my buddy Vance and Bro-Bro! Vance said he is going to be my snuggle buddy, I can;t wait! Vance has always shared a special place in my heart due to the fact that when he came home from the hospital Ben and Posey were staying with us as there home was being built. So Vance lived the first 7 or 8 months with us and I fed him most nights his bottle before going to bed and we would snuggle and then off to bed he went! Those are days I will always be thankful for that I had that time with Vance!
Today is Tuesday November 24th and i have to go to the dread COSCO... to pick up a few things for Thanksgiving. And.... of course I have to go back to Frys why.... Yes to get some more coke products for Thursday and if you read my blog from a few days ago I sure you will understand when i say"I will not be taking Eric with me to FRys!
Speaking of Eric, We had the missionaries over for dinner last night and ERIC had some questions for them! I hope his questions were answered.He is one funny kid!Don"t tell him I told anyone this but....he kissed a girl by the name of Elana Saturday night and he said "Berry Nice"! Rhett was not that lucky that night!
Rhett had an appointment with Dr Braun because his knee that he had surgery on flared up a little, but Dr Braun said that it would just do that at certain times in his life and that nothing more could be done with it at this time in Rhetts life! Rhett has been a champ with his knee and hardly never ever talks or complains about it!
Off to Cosco and Frys to get those errons done with because I sure do not want to have to go to either of those places tonight or closer to thanksgiving because tonight is the finally of "Dancing With the Stars" and Eric has his first soccer game this afternoon!
And as always forgive me for the miss spelled words and for the punctuation in my blog!

Frys Sales

yesterday I went with Monya to have her hair cut before it all fell out!Her sister and two daughters and a good friend and I went with her. what a hard day for my sweet Bon Bon! She is amazing as she continues to fight with faith! it was very difficult to see her cute her beautiful hair off!We ALL cry our eyes out as her hair dresser cut her hair!As the pony tails were cut off they were handed to me. I felt like i was holding part of Monyas life in my hands and that hair was worth more money than all the money in this world! We are going to try to sew the hair to some velcro strips and make some extensions for her when her hair starts to grow back! Monya still was her beautiful self and she looked so regal last night when we went to eat sushi for date night with Eric and Tom! I actually thought that Monya looked like Princess Diane with her short hair! Again she showed such Faith as she did the harest thing she would have to do through this whole treatment! After dinner i told Eric that i thought that Monya needed a pick me up treat so we went to Nordstoms and Eric bought Monya two pairs of UGG boots, and they looked so cute on her! She even woree a pair home! and then to end a great date night we drove to Tempe to get a special treat from Yougertland!It was a perfect night and a few hours of not thinking about medical decisions.
So this morning i decided i should go to the store to get some turkeys that were on sale! I had Rhett and Erik with me (our exchange student).Well you know how you are only suppose to get only one turkey... well i told Erik and Rhett to get their own basket and I had them put some food in their baskets but also told them to each get a turkey and put in there baskets!also all their coke products were on sale. twelve packs only a 1.88! so I had them each put four of those in their baskets too! So I checked out first then Rhett and then we gave Erik cash because trying to explain a debit card to him would have been a disaster!Well We got to the car and I realized I forgot that my assignment for Thanksgiving dinner is drinks so I had the boys go back in Frys and each get four more twelve packs and a turkey to boot! But we could not figure out why Erik was taking so long, we had given him cash so it should of been a no brain er but.... the cashier asked for his Frys card and he had no clue what that was!they checker thought that he was just messing around and finally she use her own number and told him to be on his way!By the time he got to the car, he was so mixed up! He kept asking me"What is Fry Card"! After an hour of trying to explain it I told he just do not worry about it because we will never let you back in Frys by your self again!We laughed all day about it! That is one funny kid! We are thankful to have him in our home!Rhett and Erik are like my twins, they play off each other and have become very close!
I received Rhetts Seminary grade today and i was so proud of him he has an A in that class and i feel sure Rhett will be a Great Missionary! We can't wait to see where he is called!I do know where ever he is called that is where the Lord wants him to severe and that there will be many waiting for him!
Tom, Joe,Mark,Randy, and Elden went to the dunes on Thursday and rode 99 miles! those are crazy boys! But i am happy Tom gets a day off once in a blue moon and that he is able to do something fun!!Tom does for everyone so it is a good thing for him to be able to take a day for the quads or a quick ride on the horse! Tom i love you dearly, and yes those were sort of new UGGs!
So note to self"Do not send your exchange student in to Frys to shop for you! That is one way to look at it but... the other way to look at it is do not break the rules and only buy one turkey and only four twelve packs! Love,Tamy

He took this day for me!

Once a week i give my self an injection to help me slow up my auto immune problems and every six weeks i go to the hospital for an infusion! well the next day after my injection i feel so week and VERY nauseated so... the home health care nurse Angie Hall comes to access my port and hydrate me to help me get through the day! i talk of this only to let people finally understand a little more why there are days i do not get out of bed!The medication in the injections is a chemo therapy drug and it is ebout a day and a half of discomfort when i take it!It is extremely hard on your system! I have talk to people that have taken this drug and they could not even walk for 2 or 3 days after taking it!But... i am thankful that i only have a day and a half or so of severe nausea and a terrible headache!
So this is where HE comes in!! The Savior! I rely on Him to take the mental and physical pain for me on this day of the week!I am so thankful for the knowledge that I have of the Savior that He knows and loves me! At the time I am at my sickness I do not always feel he has His arm around me, but then as the day goes on I realize that he did take that day for me! and today 11-18-09 the Savior did carry me and again I am humbled again by what He has done for me today and always! I am also thankful for the tender mercies that he sends me! My home health care nurse is so tender and sweet and she always goes the extra mile to help me get through the day! She is a GEM!!
And then there is Monya who again boost me all the way even though she is so sick, she calls me this morning and tells me to check my blog. So I check it tonight and she put music on my blog so i could not wait to feel good enough to post this night!It is so helpful to write your feelings!As sick as she is she is still trying to get me with the program!
As i was in bed today my heart kept thinking of those who are suffering with terrible affliction and all I could do for them today was to pray for them! There are so many love ones that I worry about and it is my prayer that if they feel like they cannot take another minute that they to will give that day to the Savior and try again the next day and if the next day is still to difficult than He is ready and willing to take that day as well!
On the up side of things Posey sent me some cute pictures of the boys via email and they are so cute!Posey, Brogan and Grey are coming for Thanksgiving and we can't wait to see baby Grey! I have not seen him since he was 2 weeks old and he is now 2 1/2 months and a whooping 8 lbs!
If my big kids read this post i sure i will hear about this but.... Pops let Rhett and Erik go to the 12:00 am showing of the new twilight movie with Haliegh Williams and her friends! Does anyone think for one moment that we would of let any of our other kids do this HELL no! Pops is getting to be a softy!
Tomorrow is a new day and i am happy this day is over and i am so thankful it is!And what would I of done without Tom this evening? He always helps me get through tuff times!He even brought me a special crushed ice coke to help me feel better! I love him!!!

tamy blogs? what the...........

If you would of asked me 2 months ago would i ever blog i would of said, HELL no!!! there are a few reasons why. 1st i can not type 2,or spell, punctuate correctly and have never kept a journal for more that a week at a time! But my dear sweet sister like friend Monya Williams, paid to have a blog spot set up for me! I have loved reading her blog and looked forward to the end of the day when i could read Monya's new posts! Well my blog set empty for a month or so and monya kept asking when are you going to post? Well finally she posted a for me on my blog and most of what she wrote was a lie! The only part of her post on my blog that was true was that I love her ever so much and any Minute I get to spend with her is a blessing for me! she has taught me so much in the last few months! She was diagnosed with breast caner in August and is now in the fight of her life! She is a WARRIOR and has taught me courage, and how to fight with faith!! Other things along the way she has taught me is how to decorate, where to have a fun lunch or where to go for a special treat
(Yogurtland)where to shop for fun things, but most of all how to fight with FAITH!! and as much as I have try to fight against blogging she is teaching me how to blog! who in the HELL would of thought Tamy Scheurn would blog! I can't thank her enough for setting this all up for me! Now my kids and grand kids will be able to read my blog some day and know what I was doing in my life at different times and different days in the future! MONYA , I LOVE YOU AND WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!

I am going to post a little about my family before i start my day to day post for now on!

Yes I am still married to the love of my life tom for 32 plus years! i could not get through this life with out him! he is always there for me and our kids!he loves his grand kids, his horses, and quads! I am so happy that he gets a few hours here and there for those things! He sleeps 4 or 5 hours a night and worked 10 to 12 hours a day so support his family! Yes he still works for Earnhardts after 36 years! He is my Precious!!
Blake and Tanya have 4 kids,Gavin 7 &, Lucy 5, Ellie3 , and baby Gage 1! They are so cute each different in their own way!
Joe and Erin have 3 kids. Emma 5, Noah 3, and baby Gwen aka Gangster Gwen 1!they are our little Hawaiian grand kids, dark skin and dark eyes!
Posey and Ben have 3 kids, My buddy Vance 4, he loves his Mema (that is me) Brogan 3 and our little premature baby grey 2 months.Those three boys are a handful, but cute!if I did not see them born i would of said that they were not Posey"s kids due to the fact that they are so light skinned and blue eyes!
Walker is 23 been home from his mission almost 2 years and is going to school; and working. He is still a steady calm sweet boy, always ready to help!
Rhett is 18 (i still can't believe that) and is a senior at Williamsfield High school! he just finished up a great 9 and 1 football season! he is a defensive end and is QUITE FAST even with having knee surgery last spring! He trys to keep Tom and I young! he is fun to still have home! He is preparing for a church mission in September!
Lastly we have a foreign exchange student living with us from Brazil. his name is Eric Kintish and is a delight to have in our home! He is a senior at Higley High School and is a great soccer player. WE love having him in our home! He is ALWAYS happy and eager to help! We love him!
Tom and I are thankful for our children and grandchildren and the knowledge we have of Eternal Families! There is nothing better to know then Tom and I are sealed together for the eternities and our children to us!
I am sure Monya will check to see if I posted today to explain that it was her that wrote the first post on my blog so.... I want her to know how thankful I am to her for all she does for me! She will never know how much I appreciate her and how much I do love her! I also want her to know she is in my heart and prayers constantly and I know she can endure because of her amazing faith that she has had her WHOLE life!

I love Monya Williams

I freakin love Monya Williams, and love spending the time with her at the mayo clinic as she tries to overcome this horrible cancer. Yesterday was her first chemo treatment and I was by herside holding her hand the whole way. She really is such a wimp, crying all the time and I need to be there for her to give her strength. I bought her the snuggie to keep her warm, as it gets so cold sometimes in those chemo rooms. We laughed when we opened up the SNUGGIE and found this funny looking light, we were not sure what it was for until Monya pushed a button on it and out very slowly popped this peculiar light, it was a book light, of coarse we thought it was something else and continued to laugh about it. I'm glad I could be here for Monya I love her and I know she loves me.

Writtem by Monya to get me to start blogging!! Love you Monya!
