Phoenix Temple

 Porter Brothers is building the Phoenix Temple and on May 14th they placed Angel Moroni on top of the temple.  They had a luncheon for the family members and workers.  They had Angel Moroni on the ground and let us take a picture up close.  Ross and I were lucky enough to attend.

 Grandma Jean was so happy to be alive to see her sons build the temple and Angel Moroni placed on top.  I am sure that Dad in Heaven is happy too

Grandkids - Got to love them

 Big Al loves to eat and he enjoys his food. 

 Hunter hugging his cousins.  Hunter is called the cheer leader of his family.  Full of energy

Grandpa and Nana toke the little grandkids to the cabin on April 27th and it was cold.  We built a fire to keep warm.  Below is Kate holding her new dog.  Kate forgot her toy that she has to sleep with and Nana drove into town and bought her this dog to sleep with.

 Piggy hat.

 Girls in their hats.

 Kids playing while Grandpa watches.  Great entertainment

 Keith holding the kids.  Everyone loves Keith

 Megan came over one afternoon all dressed up.  She had a sweater on with the hat on and on top she was wearing her swim suit and a skirt.  Terra says that she has to dress herself.  She is such a character.  Just love her.  Miss Megan

April Chemo Treatment

 Went to my 1 year appointment from the radiation treatment and the Doctor gave me a shot of chemo directly in my eye.  Man did it hurt.  The shot burned really bad and hurt so bad that I thought I was going to throw up.  The doctor told me that this shot would help with the radiation side effects.  I never want another shot in my eye with chemo.  He said that it was not a common practice or FDA approved but he thought it helped with radiation damage. 

 I wore the patch for a full day.  After the appointment Ross and I had wanted to go out and eat lunch.  After I got in the car I laid my head down and if I moved I thought I was going to throw up even though I was hungry.  Poor Ross I told him to drive straight home and not stop even for Tylenol.  For the 2 hour drive home I thought "Why did I get the shot???"  Another week of sitting around with my eye closed - lovely.  Now I have to go to my Cranial Sacral Therapist to get my energy back in my eye balanced.  I am so thankful for Annette.  It was a miracle that I found her.  She has helped my so much and I owe my eye doing so well to her.  When the doctor couldn't figure out why my eye hurt so bad last year, she figured it out and got my eye feeling so much better.  I have learned to honor my cancer eye.  My cancer eye has taken this on and I am so thankful for my left eye.

 This picture is right after the shot.  My eye swelled up and did not like it.

Oregon Trip March

 Ross went under the trailer to fix some plumbing and had to crawl in on his belly.  Griffin looked under for his Grandpa Ross and would say "Grandpa are you hiding?"  We had just played hide and go seek inside the house and he thought his Grandpa Ross was playing again.  I don't think so with cobwebs everywhere.

We did a temple session in Portland.

 Kent loved to be held.  He is so cute!

 We went on a hike near their home.  Lance carried the 2 boys.

 Ross and Lance doing yoga to stretch and unwind.  Ross loves his yoga.  Even Griffin is trying it out

Linda wears goggles to protect her eye.  Griffin put them on and said he was swimming.

Kim and Lance strapped Kent in and Grandpa carried him.  They strapped him real tight and Kent doesn't seem to mind.

 The trees in Oregon all have moss growing on them. I love how big the trees are

 The blossoms falling on Griffin.  Love Oregon

Oregon March 2013

 We loved holding our Superman Kent.  Kimberlee and I went to the Aquarium while the man went crabbing.   Weston left on his mission one month earlier so we decided to go and visit our Oregon Grandchildren.  We had so much fun.

 Lance said that while we were there he had never seen so many vegetables and fruits, so we had steak one night.

 Grandpa reading to the boys. 

 Ross and Lance went crabbing and Griffin got so scared when Lance pulled them out.  Yummy

 We had an Easter Egg Hunt and Griffin found them all and he ate all the candy himself.  In the backyard was this beautiful daffodil and Griffin pulled it out.  He is definitely a boy.

 Grandpa chilling while Griffin lines up his cars

 We had so much fun playing with Griffin.
