Summer Fun

Just wanted to put up a few pictures of fun times this summer...
This is Craig and Maddie with Ryder Jeffries who stopped by to visit with his mom and baby brother from Oklahoma. We miss having them in the neighborhood.Maddie holding Ryder, Jenn and baby Cash.John and Trish Lewis, Alix and her husband Clint, Fisher and Annabelle, Craig and I. Jon and Trish lived in our basement apt. on Highland View Circle where Alix was born and in the Commonwealth house. Their cute family has grown up so much. They visited from Idaho.

Todd, Sarah and Eliza Gardner and Maddie in the pool. It's been a great summer for pool time. We love having the Gardner family over. Sarah is due the end of Sept. with a baby boy!Scout with his favorite toy "Bowser". He has had it since he was a puppy and really loves him and doesn't chew him up! Scout is a great dog. The kids say I love him more than them...just sometimes!My brother Kent celebrated his 60th birthday on August 12. Here he is with his daughters Nicole and Kristy and granddaughter Brinley. We love you guys!
All of my siblings together on Kent's birthday...Kent, Kathy, Mary Ann, Craig and me! I love you all, you've been such a great support to me and my family.

Maddie turned 16 on August 15!! Here she is with our good friend Sherrie Thomas up Millcreek Canyon last Sunday. Maddie's friends surprised her with a party at our house the night before.

Our good friends, the Thomas family...Jason, Sherrie, Maddie and Jake. Paola (center) is here from Brazil as an exchange student. Maddie just returned from a year in Brazil. The Thomas family does so much for us and always makes us feel loved. We really appreciate their friendship.
Maddie with her "new" car courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa Doutre and Craig and I. Watch out, there's a new driver in the neighborhood. We obviously don't have pictures of everyone (stop by and we'll take a picture!)...but we want all of you to know how much we love and appreciate you. We couldn't do this alone. We appreciate every call, note, visit and thought in our behalf. Craig is feeling better the last 4-5 days and even went on an excursion to Idaho with Todd Gardner yesterday. So life is good right now...too bad we just got the call for the next chemo. Sept. 1 at 8 am we will report to Huntsman for the 2nd chemoembolization of the liver. New doctor, catheter in and we're ready to go in and kill some more tumors!
