Thanksgiving with Family

Thanksgiving is always fun when family gathers together. This year, we were lucky to have everyone here. We had friends join us as well. My house is little, so I reserved the church. They kids were able to play basketball, volleyball, watch movies, play board games, etc. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the food was really good. 

Afternoon at Papa’s

We went to Papa Malcolm's house today. He fed us and we hung out. It was nice to have everyone together and for the kids to get to know Jackson. 

Visiting Grandma

Grandma Margie has not been doing well at all. She was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday and has been in the ICU since Thursday with incredibly high fevers that are not responding to Tylenol. Lexi and I went up to visit her today. We stopped at the airport to pick up Aunt Paige and Uncle Clayton. She has had lots of scary episodes and close calls. 

After several days of not eating or drinking anything, she was able to take a moment to thoroughly enjoy this popsicle. 

Mother’s Day

We had a beautiful mother's day. Lexi brought me breakfast in bed that she had made. She also gave me the plaque below that she created with her church group. We went to church in our ward. I love that the third hour is a huge brunch for the mothers. It is always nice. After that, we headed up to spend the day with Grandma and Papa. 

Last Chemo for Grandma

We're at Grandma and Grandpa's house for the first half of Spring Break. Grandma went to her last chemo appointment today. Fortunately, the Oncologist told her that she didn't have to do it. That's because her hands and feet are very numb. She has quite a bit of nerve damage from chemo. Anyway....she is done with chemo!!! She is very excited. They took us all out to the Club House for Pasta Night to celebrate.  

Touring SHSU

It is Spring Break here in the Houston area. We are extra spoiled this week because Aunt Paige is here for Grandma's last chemo. After church, we headed up to Sam Houston State University (SHSU). It is pretty close to Grandma and Papa's house, but mainly we went there to see Paige's old school. She spent her freshman year of college there. We walked around the historical area where Sam Houston's house and other old buildings were. It was pretty interesting. 

Tutti 2 Art Project

Lexi has a big 3D art project that she has been working on with Grandma since January. We went up to Grandma's today so they could work on it. She is making a wooden wiener dog, which of course was inspired by Tutti Fruiti (the dog we're taking care of this year). The goal this time was to put it together.
