Spring Break!

Dusty & Hayden are having a father/son fishing trip at Lake Pleasant. They entered themselves in a Bass Tournament & are so EXCITED (I hope they WIN)!! Ashley spent the first few days of her SB in Phoenix with Michelle & Kaylee Schubatka laying by the pool & had a GREAT time. I got back home Tuesday from Tucson to WINDY, cool weather....UGH!!!!! My mom got out of La Canada Care Center on Saturday, March 21st & ended back up in the ER on Sunday morning with blood clots. She is truly feeling like there is no hope for her....but we keep trying to convince her otherwise. She was released from the hospital yesterday 3/25 & is so far so good! Suzanna is spending some time with her as well as PJ. It is great to be back home with my family, even though 2 of them are fishing =) On Feb. 5th, Hayden signed his letter of intent to go to Adams State College in Colorado & will leave in July. I am NOT ready for him to be gone.....it makes me SAD!! Today Rachel & I are going to take my niece Kodi, Brayden & Jaxten to the movie in Show Low. We are going to see "Paul Blart..Mall Cop", hopefully the kids will enjoy it. "Happy Spring Everyone"!!

I can't BELIEVE it's March!!

This past month has been a blurr!

Update on my Mom:
She is in La Canada Care Center in Tucson for rehabilitation after pneumonia. This facility is GREAT & they have helped her soooooo much. She is getting stronger each day & hopefully won't have to stay there too long.

My family & I have decided to have a benefit for my Mom on April 15th at the American Legion. We have truly tried to handle all of the expenses ourselves but it's time to have help. My moms insurance has helped with medical bills, but our out of pocket expenses (gas, food & motel rooms) since she was diagnosed in 2007 have reached the $20,000 mark. We have seen success in other benefits helping families with medical expenses & are hoping for the same result. We have set up an account at National Bank of Arizona for donations also. If anyone would like to donate to the auction, please let me know. Thanks for all the prayers & get-well wishes =)

Pneumonia Update....

What a CRAZY week!!! My mom is doing SO MUCH BETTER!!! Tuesday she developed an internal bleed which resulted in 4 units of blood being given. What a SCARY situation! With (2) blessings given during that week, by Friday she was off the ventilator & Sunday she was out of ICU. I can't believe how far she has come. She is AMAZING!!! She still has a slow recovery but is on the mend =) Thanks again for all the prayers!!!!
