Happy 14th Birthday Devyn!!!

Devyn's day started off with her (now) Mia Maid leader (can't believe she's not a Beehive anymore!!) and a couple of her YW friends showing up at 8am to wake her up, sing happy birthday to her, and then drag her off to IHop for breakfast in her pj's!!! 

sneaking in....

surprise!!! 

she had NO idea!!!

even woke the 3 little ones up who jumped outta bed to see what all the comotion was about! 

on the way out the door

our birthday girl

she requested chicken & sausage gumbo (as usual) for her birthday dinner and a big cookie for her cake

Then she got to attend the Youth Temple trip and had an awesome time!! 

Happy Birthday to our sweet girl!!!!! 

Friends who Visit

We LOVE it when friends come to visit and stay with us here at 'Hotel Hinson'!!!!

and the kids love it!! 

the guys showing us their cinnamon roll icing skills! 

;) 

Sadly, the main reason they were here was so that we could go up to the hospital and visit our friend (my cousins wife) Melissa who was in a tragic accident last Saturday evening falling off a rope swing at the river before she made it over the water. She's been in the Trauma Shock ICU in Houston with brain trauma and fractures and has had slow progress each day. 

It has definitely made us all realize how precious life really is and how in one quick instant your life can completely change. 

Melissa, Carman, & Stephany 

Mel & Courtney

Mel, Steph, and Me

We are constantly praying for a full and complete recovery!! 

We love you Melissa!
