Austin's Doodle work

Austin loves to doodle (that's what I call it). He always incorporates shed horns, sports, and bull riding. He has created some really cool things. Last year I took one of his doodles and had it put on some jackets for each one of us. I found this today and thought I should share it.

Peaches!

Mmmmm The finished product!

                  Joshlynn also helped me prepare the fruit for canning! She was such a super helper!

Our first Peach Harvest!

Our first Peach Harvest! One year ago when I looked at this house and put our offer in. I dreamed of the day that we would harvest our own peaches it was so exciting!

          Lucky we have a little monkey to get those peaches that were at the tippie top of the tree.

                                                                 Look at our Harvest!

Joshlynn's Cooking

Joshlynn is working on her 10 hour project for Young Women. With our crazy busy family schedule, I decided to jump into the "Freezer meal" planning. Me and Joshynn spent a afternoon preparing several meals. It was so awesome because most of the vegetables we harvested from our own garden. Joshlynn did such a great job! So proud of her! She is learning very valuable lessons to prepare her for her future family.

Treatment #2

Treatment # 2 is set up for November 4th. We are going to try doing a fast trip and see how it goes. We will drive to Denver Sunday, sleep and have treatment first thing Monday morning then get him in the car and drive back home. We are trying to get a new routine down. I am sure we are going to become pros before we know it.

JW's Awesome Week!

This past week was JW's week. His football team won there playoff game and made it to the Pizza bowl! It has been such a fun year. I have loved watching his team grow and learn and play as a team. Way to go Payson Green! Then he won his class Elections, he is this years class President! Way to go! (I will post his Election poster.) He has had a great week!

Humbled

I am so humbled. Yesterday was amazing. We had so much support. So many donations, time, service rendered in our behalf. So many friends and family came from everywhere. Our hearts are so full of gratitude, love, peace and support. We meet some amazing people who are now and forever are apart of us. This is so hard to be the "receiver" and not the "giver" it has brought so many emotions I did not even know I have had. My heart and mind has went places I did not know existed. I have no idea how to thank and repay everyone! However THANK YOU for your support! You have blessed our lives more than you could ever begin to imagine. We are so very blessed!

Elk Hunt 2013

We have had so much fun hunting these past two weekends.

                                            Nothing better than time spent around a campfire.

                                                 Mmmm best part Grandpa's sticky buns!

                                                              Look at Austins nice hair do!

Clay and Jw the mighty hunters!

 We were not having to much luck elk hunting, so they decided to lizard hunt instead. They caught so many!

          We did not have a successful hunt. But we sure did have fun and made some great memories.
                                                    Thank you Grandma and Grandpa

We have recently been in contact with a family in a similar situation as we are. And have been at this for a very long time. Who has seen Dr Yakes for treatment. I had a opportunity to talk with the Father. He provided us with so much information. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. Since the beginning of this whole thing, I have felt very alone. Since May when all of this has changed. I felt so small, feeling so overwhelmed that we were left to figure this all out. I felt I am one person. I do not know where to turn. I don't know Doctors. I don't know people. Our family prayed so hard for help. And one by one our Heavenly Father has sent people to help. Has literally put people right in our path. It was so awesome to talk with this Father who understood where we are. It was great to hear another parents perspective. To hear his story, and what they have learned. He shared his advice, and his wisdom. Given this new perspective, and information, has left us with a lot going through our minds. Feel so blessed and overwhelmed. So excited to have this new friendship with this family. I have once again found myself at an emotional stage. So sorry if find yourself asking the simple question "how are you doing" and I burst into tears (sorry Cindy) you just never know how long I have been holding back. Haha.... Just remember it is just me allowing myself to have emotions. :) We are so grateful, and want our friends and family to know how important they are, and how much they mean to us.
