Dad Arrived

Mom stayed the night last night with Jason & so she got home just before church. Luckily everyone was helpful and almost ready to leave. Mom just had to quickly get ready herself and finish getting the boys ready.

We all went to Sacrament Meeting and then came home. Grandpa & Scott headed up to the hospital right after while Mom helped with all the kids.

Dad was able to get a few days off work so he was could come and help out. He is going to stay up with Jason at the hospital on Monday night.

After getting the kids ready for bed we couldn't find Brayden and when we found him we were surprised. He had fallen asleep downstairs under the pool table. He was laying with Scott & Aubrey's cat but the position he was in just made us all laugh. He didn't transfer well though & we realized he was stinky. But luckily he didn't get any on him with where his hand was. Then all the kids went to sleep a little later. They were all excited to see their Dad.

So many family members have been great & gone to visit or send him messages. He has a lot of family & friends praying for him during this time. He still has a long road ahead of him but the doctors are optimistic that we caught this cancer in time and that he will recover from it. He is still weak but they were able to start the chemotherapy treatment today, which is a good thing. For a few days his blood levels kept changing so they had to wait until the right time to start certain medicines. Right now they are just trying to keep his temperature under control.

Jason is doing better every day. Although, since starting the chemo it has scared him and he really doesn't want to be left alone so we are all rotating and taking turns being up there for him. We are so grateful that we are able to come down & be here for him right now to help in any way that we can.

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

Helpers in the Kitchen

Each night a different one of my children helps me make dinner. I have done this for awhile but have finally figured out the way to make it easier on myself. i get everything prepared ahead of time in little bowls just like they do on the Food Network. This way the kids just mix the ingredients in an easy way without having to measure stuff and the clean up is so much easier. I just tell them how much everything is as we are putting it together. Well tonight I made something super easy but it has the restaurant style look to it from a Pillsbury Cookbook (one of those small ones that are always by the register that my husband and I have a ton of because we pick them up all the time when we are out and about). I think my husband will be shocked, at least I hope he is...

Monster Trucks

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
