Time Well Spent......October 2, 2011

My mom and sister in law, Jamie, flew out for the Jerry's funeral. I was so grateful to have both of them here. I have an amazing family who is always there for Sam and I. Jamie saved our lives by taking care of our kiddos all week so Sam and I could get everything done that we need to do.

After the funeral, we celebrated my mom's birthday. We got her a big huge birthday cake. Dave, Meghan, Jamie, the kids, Grandma, and I all went to grandmas to celebrate. We skyped Mike and the kids, we called my dad on his cell, and together we all sang Happy Birthday to mom. Then, we headed back to my house. Jamie and Baxter bought a really cute Halloween decoration for the babies so we stopped by to let Baxter put up their decoration.

Needless to say.....the time was well spent!

Let it Rain or Flood?......October 1, 2011

How does the saying go? When it rains, it pours?

Well in this situation it did in more way than one....

After the funeral, Bobbi wanted to go out to eat. Today, was her and Jerry's 40th Wedding Anniversary and she wanted to celebrate it with all of us kids. She treated us to the Outback. We had an enjoyable dinner.

Afterwards, Bobbi needed to get a few things at Home Depot so Eli and Andrea took her there. Ryan, Stacey, Sam, and I all ran to Walmart to get a few things. Tim and Kayla headed to their home. Dan and Alisha, thank goodness, went back to Bobbi's house. When Dan and Alisha got back to Bobbi's, to their surprise, they opened the door to the kitchen and water was EVERYWHERE. They immediately ran down the stairs to see the damage and the ceiling started falling out in the basement due to the flooding from upstairs.....

Long story short, lots of people ran over and we all begun to clean up a flood of a mess at 11:00 pm. Aunt Colleens girls and Stacey got most of the water vacuumed up. Sam, Ryan, Dan, and Eli along with some other men got all the carpets pulled out the basement. Casie, Alisha, and I got lots of things transferred from downstairs to upstairs. Then, Sam, Ryan, Dan, and Eli tore down all the wet sheet rock.

It was a huge mess. Bobbi has a great ward who came to her rescue along with lots of family and friends. Thank goodness not too many things got ruined. What a day, what a night! "No more rain please Heavenly Father, no more rain....."

Spending Time with Granpa Jerry.....September 10, 18, & 222011

These are a few moments that we have spent with Grandpa, Jerry. The cancer is now in his spinal column, it has passed the blood brain barrier and is attacking everything. The cancer paralyzed Grandpa within four days. Everyday it continues to progress more and more.

Eli and Andrea have moved in with Bobbi to help take care of Jerry during the week. Tim, our brother in law, who is a nurse, is taking great care of him as well. On the weekends, Sam goes down to take care of him. It's been so nice to spend time with Grandpa and the family.

We really love spending time with him while we have him. The hardest thing for me to accept is how much Paizlie will miss her grandpa. SHE LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her grandpa.

All of us love him so much. I know he will watch over us but the honest truth is, it's going to be hard on all of us, especially Bobbi. Bobbi is so strong and I am just amazed at her strength. I don't envy her situation but I do admire her faith. She has put it into the Lord's hands and relies on him to help her through it. If anything, I hope my kids can learn from this, is the faith and strength their grandma has. She's always been a great example of how we should lean on the Lord at all times. She is a pillar for our family. I hope our family continues to grow closer together through this. It's a hard thing coming but we have each other and Heavenly Father to get us through it.

We love you Grandpa....
