Happenings

  Aren't they cute? These were my kiddos for the summer. I now only have the smallest one and he is such a handful, but soo cute!! We had a fun summer, between mini golf and 7 peaks, it went by way too fast! Rickey's health is doing a little bit better and we are so grateful for it. We have been spending a lot of time with our best friends, Grant and Laura, they are such great friends and so supportive of us and all that we do and we couldn't ask for better friends.
School just started which means I lost my two girls and now just have the little guy. Rickey is busy at school taking a lot of classes, but so far liking it. Only 4 semesters left til his Bachelors degree!!!
Rickey took the first three of these pictures, he is trying to get his photography business up and going and so for now, taking pictures of the kids has been a fun thing. Other than that, life is just busy and fun. I will try to update more often.

We Loved the M&M store


We've been planning a vacation for so long, but with health issues, it was always getting postponed, so for Veterans Day weekend, we decided we were gonna go visit Dan and Rachael in Nevada and Brian and Jami in Mesa for Landon's 6th birthday. What a fun vacation, but what a very LONG drive! I am flying next time! Thanks Dan and Rach and Jami and Brian for your hospitality and a fun weekend!

Here are some pictures from our fun weekend.

New friends

Being in a new ward we've been able to meet some new people and finally really get to know our neighbors. It has been so nice to really know who our neighbors are and get to know them. In the course of getting to know our neighbors, we have made some great friends. It is so nice to know who my neighbors are and to have people always watching out for us, I am feeling truly blessed!

New ward and healing

We stared the family ward in November, and I am so grateful we did. I really love our ward and we have finally been able to really get to know our neighbors and it's been so great! Rickey is still on the road to recovery, it's a long process and with as long as he was sick, it will be nice when it's finally over and he is feeling better!

set backs, healing process and a new job

I am such a slacker, life has been a little crazy around here. Rickey got home from surgery and was doing really well, but then he had a little set back and ended up being transported by ambulance back up to the U, where he spent another week. The healing process is taking longer than we were hoping, but he is finally getting better one day at a time, with a little time and some effort, he will be back to his old self in no time.

Rickey had a job interview the other day and got the job. Yay!!

Surgery

Rickey had his surgery yesterday at the U. The dr had come in before the surgery and explained what he was going to do and showed us pictures of what he was planning to do. The surgery went well, it was close to 3 hours. Rickey is sore today and has had little sleep, but in the long run, we are grateful to have had this surgery so he can finally start to feel better. YAY!

Appointment

Well, we finally were able to meet with the surgeon at the U and he said that he will do surgery on Rickey on January 20th We are excited to finally have a solution. He will have to stay at the hospital for about 6 days and if all goes well, he will get to come home. I am so excited for him to be better, I know it'll take roughly six weeks, but that's doable if it means he'll be better. Thanks to all for your support and prayers!!
