I guess I missed updating last week..... Sorry. Blake's sound asleep beside me right now - so, I'll quickly post an update.....
After finishing the 2nd round of antibiotics, Blake finally got over his cold/sinus infection and we were able to go camping last weekend! It was WONDERFUL to get out in the nice weather, around a beautiful fire, with great friends & family. When we got home.... everything went down hill!! Ugh. He was soooo sick Sunday night & Monday but quickly bounced back, went to work Tuesday & Wednesday (today) and (as much as I tried to talk him out of it) had chemo again this afternoon. For now, Blake's decided to commit to chemo one treatment at a time from now on. He's scheduled for 1 more chemo & then may take a break - or continue on - depending on how he feels.
Our family has some pretty exciting things happening in the next several months. So, in 'Christmas-letter cheesy-fashion,' I want to mention what's going on with our kids!
Dallas, Jess, Aspen & Irelynn will be having another little girl join their family in September. Dal continues to work hard as a foreman at UP which allows Jess (aka awesome mom) to stay home with their darling daughters. Sweet Aspen goes to pre-school and recently explained to us what inertia meant, that George Washington planted a cherry tree when he was little and that President Lincoln freed the slaves. Really? She's so very smart! Irelynn is an absolute hoot! She is a super-sweet tiny little peanut and is so funny! She'll go to pre-school this fall which should help Jess when the new baby arrives.
Tanner is one of Union Pacific's youngest foreman and is having a blast being a bachelor! I think he's making up for having to put up with 4 sisters growing up!
Jennifer continues to work full time hours @ an OB/GYN office while going to college. She's on track to earn her associates degree this coming fall semester.
Katherine Cody has enjoyed her senior year playing volleyball, studying, working and having a great time. She will graduate this June and will be attending SUU in the fall;
Danielle earned a $500 scholorship for early class completion and will offically graduate high school this June. Elle was also just awarded the manager position at Envy Sun in South Jordan.
I can't even begin to tell you how proud we are of our family. It's crazy to think our babies were 4 when we got married. Now we have grandbabies that age and, our "babies" are "legal" young-adults, graduating high school. We continue to be blessed.
Some of you may remember my dear friend Laurie who passed away almost 3 years ago from breast cancer. She would write in a blog and would always close by saying.....
Live, Love & Laugh......
That sure sounds good to me!
Love, Kathy

He is such a tough stud, sucks being so sick. I am so glad you were able to get out of the house and enjoy some time camping with family and friends. My mom hates missing her chemo treatments too, she has been looking forward to Summer since December because she will be done with chemo. you have an amazing family!
