HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!
Thanks to everyone who sent e cards, cards, phone calls and gifts! It was such a nice surprise :) Aunt Sandra, thank you so much for the Willow Tree!! I LOVE IT!

Today I wanted to do something fun with the kids but I'm not sure what to do. No one is around to do anything with. Plus, Kaitlin took a tac to a picture I have of the three kids... the big poster size one and pinned up Ashlee's face because she was mad at her. So now I have her in time out and told her NO video games today. I can't believe she did that!!!

Last night we went to Chinese for dinner. Mom sent me money to do some fun things before I am locked up, so we decided to get something to eat :) I really want to take the kids to CEC or the Splash Pad but it's so hard with Jakey running wild with me not being 100% energetic right now!

Tomorrow I go to Vandy for blood work. I am hoping they give me platelets and send me on my merry way. I really really want to go to the beach next week!! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Mark got me the sweetest card today for my birthday. It really meant alot. He also had one somehow hidden from me that Ashlee pulled out and gave to me! It was really sweet too.

Well I guess I better shower while Jake naps. I hope I can come up with something fun to do with the kiddos!

Jenna,
I'm glad you had a great B-day. You deserved it after the year of HELL you have had. I will be praying for you tomorrow.

As for the picture you are mad right now, but someday you will look back and chuckle. It will be one of those stories to tell when they get older.

Hang in there I love you.

Happy Birthday to Me!
Happy Birthday To me!!! :) I'm 34 now!! One more year till I'm on the down hill slope to 40!!!! Wow, doesn't seem possible. I still feel like I'm in my 20's at times except for my aching joints and gray hair strands! LOL

Today I'm going to take Jakey in to see the DR and hopefully make the hugest playdate in a long time at Roxy's. Gotta leave here in about 40 minutes so I'm signing off! I'll fill you in later on my day. Wish Mark were home. :(

38

Jenna isn't here to post about her 38th birthday! People will still come here in hopes of something new to read. Something to either bring them back to a happy memory or to create a new one! We are coming upon 3 years. 3 years since Jenna posted something herself on this blog............. or we had a new and funny story or picture. I can't wait for the day when her children get old enough to blog and reach out to people the way Jenna used to and connect.

A few of you have said you have old emails from Jenna saved! I would love it if you would email me some excerpts that I can post here...........things we haven't seen or read before............... a way to honor and remember her and also a place where her children will some day come to read and seek answers - and see the amazing amount of people that were in her life..........and who carry on so many wonderful stories about her that they will yearn to hear...........

Please email me if you'd like to share a photo or an email from her. You should be able to click my name and send an email.

The big EDIT

SO I have decided that a lot of the stuff on the blog I will need to edit down to a smaller little book for the children.... I try to imagine reading some of the posts/comments from a childs view and I want anything they read to create feelings of warmth and understanding of Jenna and her love for them. Some of the stuff on here about Mark leaving would be inappropriate. I will keep it on the blog here forever as it's "JENNA'S" blog but the book I shall edit! Some day the kids can read all of her thoughts (when they are no longer KIDS!)

I'm wondering who has done converting to PDF. This seems to be the best method for putting it in a book!

Suggestions welcome! :)

Converted to hard copy

I am going to be converting Jenna's blog to hard copy.

I will edit and then save this for the children to have when they turn 18.

Happy Valentine's Day Jenna!

Mark's Birthday

Mark's birthday is next week.

Easter 2007

How time flies............... 2 years ago Jenna and the kids flew up here to Cranberry for Easter. Jenna was also pregnant with Will. I can't believe it has been 2 whole years and then again it feels like a life time ago. Kaity Bear loved playing with Baby Addison as she would call her.

I can't believe this enormous dessert that Jenna made.......YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Take my hand

Last night Jenna came to me in my dream. I don't remember what was going on in the dream but Jenna came to me through a wall....and said "Do you remember when we were little kids and we could FLY?" and I said to her "I can't do it Jenna- I'm not dead" and she said "Just take my hand, close your eyes and I'll show you" so I took a deep breath and grabbed her hand and we were able to start flying- right through a wall- out into the open sky......I could feel the wind blowing through my hair and we were flying together. It was just a very peaceful feeling and then I woke up.
