Grandchildren aren't suppose to get sick...

Phoey another bad week....


Our grandchildren have been sick the passed 2 weeks. Our Kylie has struggled with ear pain and discovered that it stems from her sinus's so on Sept. 20 just 4 days after her 8th Birthday and 9 day's before her Baptism she will be having tubes put in her ears and her adnoids out. Then the flu set in.

Lil' Daxton has been sick also. Fever, flu too

So when our lil' Maddie Cake wasn't feeling well with the same symptons no one would have guessed it was anything but what her siblings suffered with. The flu...

SHE SURPRISED EVERYONE when they discovered she had appendicitis. And by the time she was admitted to the hospital they had ruptured. TEARS AND MORE TEARS...


Our Maddie Cake


She is the BRAVEST lil girl I've ever seen. She will go through out her life now with all of us knowing she will TRY HER HARDEST with what ever is asked of her no matter the pain.

She is one sick little girl.

Please keep prayers going her way. She cannot have a temperature for 24 hours before she can get out of the hospital. It hasn't happened in 4 days.

THANKYOU all of those that have served their family this week. It has brought us all to tears to see their lawned mowed, meals brought to the family by strangers. Maddies kindergarten teacher encouraging the children to make "get well cards" ect. B.T.W Madison missed her very first day of school.
Thankyou Especially to  family dropping every thing including work. Elyse was the life saver when Laura called her to tell her about Maddie. She didn't even say hello just, "I'm on my way" TEARS. Niece staying the night and her daughter tending during the day. Extended family taking Kylie on the holiday weekend with them etc. WE ARE SO BLESSED WITH AWESOME FAMILY!

PRAYERS AND GET WELL WISHES TO OUR MADDIE CAKE

The best thing that happened this week!

Our daughter drove her 2 children out to stay with us. It was GREAT FUN!
Pappa Clark had a T party with Pony and Reese!

Pappa Clark and Hagan took a train ride in the Salt Mines

Grammy Sharon took the kids to the ZOO

Leesie and her Dad had quality time!

 
 

Life must be celebrated...

Sheesh, It's been 2 weeks of heartache. I didn't feel I could focus on anything. The good news is we are fine. The bad news is there are families close to us who have experience heartache.
A lot has happened. Couldn't post it. It would seem impossible to see such sadness in the lives of dear, dear friends. We will celebrate LIFE.
With that-- I will say, HOLD ON TO THOSE CLOSE TO YOU. Those of you who have experienced loss know what I'm talking about.

These experiences have put life to the test. They make our struggles see so minimal.

Heaven is celebrating Telaai (10 days old) and Liesa (classmate) along with family member that have lost relatives and friends.

Hugs to all those we hold dear. Life is precious. XO

Thankful Tuesday: Desire and Determination

I've spent the last week devouring the Olympics. Every one is so inspiring. So many emotions every moment! We all have our stories and to those who push the limits and obtain victories just is amazing.  It just is a testament to the human body and soul.   I love last night seeing so much 'team effort' in the women's gymnastics and men's swimming. To see all of their desire and determination inspires me.
Love watching all of these athletes talents and abilities.   My Fav. - Peter Vidmar- 1984 Gold Medalist advice for excellence here:  "just give a little extra everyday"
For me, let it  just be a push to try little harder and do a little better!



And this is the latest push for 'to do' projects at our house:
You could say it took a lot of desire/determination/sweat/tears and hospital stays  for Mr. C. to accomplish these tasks





This is a work in progress!

New Grass!
