A busy fun week.

I started off this week with a quick trip to SLC with Ron to pick up fence materials and of course spend some time with Des.
We hit the jackpot and brought Ellie and Abbie home with us since they were having UEA the end of the week. So we got home quite late Tues. night the girls where very ready to be at our house. We have had a fun week here with girls and the girls have had fun with their cousins.
Went to some Parks ate out a few times. Thurs. night the girls spent the night at Brittany' house. Friday was a fun day at grandma' Raylie spent the day here and Haiven came to play as well while mommy and daddy worked
We played with Haiven then put her down for a nap and while Haiven slept, we frosted cookies.
When Haiven woke up we feed her lunch.
THEN Then Friday night Grandma and Grandpa played at Brittany' house while She and Josh, Dan and Chantelle went to the Temple. Below is a pic of how the night was spent.



Watching Kung Fu Panda 2 and eating popcorn. Grandpa had to make a popcorn run to the Dollar Store, we ran out of popcorn not a good thing when at the movies. :) (he also brought home some licorice, shhhhhh).



Then Saturday morning, up early for the Save a Sister breast cancer 5k run. It was awesome. I don't know why I don't get up early more often. It was very exhilarating and of course it was for a very good cause.
This is a picture of us all bright and cheery before the race.



This is the cute little face that went for a stroll as we ran/walked.I was feeling pretty good, my emotions were all in tack. Then........we hear the announcement that we could go to the table and get labels to write the persons name on that we were running for. So still all was good, we walk up to the table and at that point it was as if the flood gate had busted. I picked up a label and pen and wrote my daughters name on it, at that point I was so thankful I had my sun glasses on. I could hide behind them. Brittany did catch a glimpse. (sorry Brit) It is still so hard for me to believe this is really happening to her. I have been with her, I have seen the changes, but for a mom it is so so very hard to watch your daughter go through something like this. As I have said before I would take it from her at anytime. (I am sure there are days that she would happily turn it over) But I know that this is her trial, as it is strengthing her it is also strengthing our family in many ways. We love you DES!!!



This pic is us just after coming across the finish line.
This is a pic of us and 3 of Brits co-workers that also ran in the race.

Love the post and all the pictures. Thanks for taking the two little munchkins this week. It has been super quiet around here and I think I am ready to have them back. :) I wish I could have been there to run the race with you guys. Thank you for doing that. I know that as a mom this is killing you, because if it was one of my girls, I would feel the same way. But I am so thankful to have a mom like you who loves and cares so much and wants to help me! Love you! See you tomorrow!

Thanks so much for sharing your story. I am watching my 19 year old go through some health challenges and her frustration. Your story puts it into better perspective for us, since it's not nearly as serious as Desirae's. Faith is a wonderful thing, but it still hurts to see our babies hurt. Thanks!
