Blessings

I've been following a heart breaking story on Facebook.  It's about a 3 year old little girl from Price, who was diagnosed with a 100% fatal brain tumor.  I've followed her story for the past year and was devastated to read last night that she is in the final stage of her short life.  This story has really hit home for me.  I think it's because Kinlee is 3 years old and I can't imagine my life without her.  I am so blessed and looked after by the Lord.  I don't know what I did in the preexistence to experience this wonderful life, but I am truly grateful every day for my healthy family.

The kids have been busy, so that means I've been busy.  Kadence started off the month with her State Gymnastics meet.  It was in Fillmore so we decided to make it a girls weekend and Sandy Rauhala, Shalyce, and Kelli rode with us.  We stayed at a hotel and the girls swam for 4 hours straight!  They were so tired!  The next morning we were up early to grab breakfast and get ready for the meet.  We arrived and the meet and Kadee did great!  She took 1st on the Trampoline, 3rd on Double Mini, and 4th on her floor routine. She made the local paper along with the other competitors from her tumbling group.

That same weekend Connor had a baseball tournament in St. George.  Since Rory had to work and I was taking Kadee, grandma Debbie and Grandma Rhea took Connor and Zac for the weekend.  They had so much fun.  Connor's team won their first 2 games and lost the last 2 so they didn't go far in the tournament but they are a great bunch of kids with tons of heart.  They even made the local paper!
 

 Kinlee got to go on a field trip with her preschool to the Dinosaur Museum.  She was so relieved
to find out they were just bones and not actual dinosaurs!  She also told me that she learned that dinosaurs are extinct because the aliens came down and got them all.

Matthew was extremely sick last week.  He had the stomach flu and was completely miserable for about 4 days.  It was brutal.  Poor kid even had blisters on his bum from pooping so much (TMI, I know).  He is feeling much better and is back to his busy self.

Grandma Archie has been in the nursing home the last little bit trying to recover from a procedure she had to have kidney stones removed.  We've tried to go see her several times a week and this week I snapped a quick picture.  Love that lady!
