Home from Powell

We all made it home from a successful Lake Powell trip. The weather was hot hot hot, water was perfect, and no wind. We had a lot of fun.

We are all glad that mom goes back into the hospital this Tuesday because they can undo all the effects of playing too hard. 

Tuesday June 30th she will go into Huntsmans for a different chemo than what she has been getting. They will give it to her every 12 hours for 48 hours a total of 4 treatments. She will only need to be there for the two days. She will not need to go back until the middle of August.

Fun day

On Thursday, Jessie and I rode Trax up to Huntsman again. Grandma says that we have "mastered Trax." We brought a lot of games this time so that she didn't get bored. We ate lunch, then played Uno, matching, and a trivia game. I loved playing games with Grandma! It was so much fun! After that, we watched Cheaper by the Dozen. It was the perfect movie to watch because it reminded us of our family lol. Right now she is out of the hospital. She left yesterday around 1. Her and Grandpa went to Beaver Friday night, and they are going the rest of the way to Lake Powell today (Saturday). We are excited for our family Lake Powell trip. It has been a long time since our last trip. We hope to stay hydrated and keep the sunscreen on!!

Let's keep playing until grandma wins!

Direct quote from my mom today. "Let's keep playing until grandma wins!" Yup she is doing great back to her old (young) self. 

Today the kids are out for summer and we get to hang out with grandma playing games. She loves to play games and she loves to win. I got kick out for not paying attention. Yup things are back to normal. 

She really is doing amazing! Her food that she cooks tastes great, she remembers everything (good and bad lol), she is impatient and productive. All the qualities we love about her.

This is the first summer in two years that mom and dad have been available to play with us during summer break. We love having her around and not in the hospital. We love that she feels good and has her spunk back. We love that she is packing for Lake Powell and preparing food. 

It is awesome!

Today was a day just hanging out with grandma. She had sloppy joes ready when we came down. She didn't have any sloppy joe mix, so she made them from scratch and they were GOOD! She also made brownies for us! Then we played Apples to Apples for a long time. I'm so glad that we are out of school for the summer so that we can come visit her more often! Jessie and I get our license soon so we can drive ourselves!!! :)

Yesterday, Jessie and I rode Trax up to Huntsman from Daybreak, and we got up to the hospital by 7. When we got there, Grandma was surprised that we had gotten there so early. We went outside and enjoyed the sun and sat by the pretty flowers. Then we had lunch at the Bistro. After that, we watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Grandma took a little nap during the movie. At about 3:30, Jessie and I had to head home. It was a great day.
