Little prayer

My parents are suppose to be coming home July 1st. This past weekend my mom ruptured a disc in her back. She is in the hospital with lots of pain, she can't walk or sit. They are doing a lot of physical therapy trying to help relieve the pain. Which has helped but yesterday it got worse with more intense pain.
One goal of my parents while over there was,to stay healthy enough to avoid medical care. They have found good doctors for their missionaries to see when they need help. The hard thing to find is a good place with proper sterilization. She is in Manila hospital so I guess that's good.
Being that she can't sit means how the heck is she going to get home! My mom is a tough girl, so her to be in this position is killing me because she must be in some serious pain. Her name is in the temple and we are all saying are prayers so I thought maybe a little more help wouldn't hurt. So to my friends and others who read can you remember to add my mom in your prayers this week. We are all so excited for them to come home!!! Thanks a ton!!!!

Triathlon

Only 20 yards to go!

I can't believe how busy this summer has already been. Honest truth I wouldn't change it, it has been so fun! I did the triathlon if you can call it that. They had to change the swim to a run, due to the lack of water at Rigby Lake. So it was a 2 mile run then a 13 mile bike and then a 3 mile run. My two sister-in-laws did it as well. Erin came in 3rd (this is expected of Erin, she is amazing!) I came in 8th at 1 hr. 18 min. and Megan came in at 14, out of 44 girls. The hardest part for me was running after the bike. My legs felt like speed racing, it probably took a whole mile for my legs to feel normal. Crazy feeling! It was a lot of fun beside stressing about it every night, since I decided to sign up two weeks prior to the race. It was worth it though, who knows maybe I'll do another one since I didn't get the chance to swim.

I never feel like there is enough time during the day! I have myself going in circles. I am in tennis, softball, and I just signed up for a sprint triathlon. Training has been fun and I have been pushing myself hard, since it's in 2 weeks. BTW if anyone has any advice about side aches please let me know, how to prevent or what to do when you get one. Doing all of this and still being sane for my kids and move. I am running around with my head cut off!

Little Maizy is now 6 mos. She is so fun (when she not crying) she is getting the hang of sitting by herself, eats the best out of my other girls, and can give you the cutest smile. Even writing about her can put a smile on my face, Sadie and Aspen adore her and we all love to squeeze her. Its funny how certain times I am holding Maizy and I think to myself I have to remember this moment. I try so hard to remember what it was like with the other two and I just can't. It's so sad how you can forget such sweet moments. Then again its probably a good thing you forget some things, that why we all get pregnant again. I hope these next 6 mos. go slower I want to enjoy her as much as possible. I love you Maizy!

Almost Done

I can almost see an end! Our house is almost done, YIPPEE!!! They have the cleaners to come in April 30. I'm all done picking colors, knobs, lighting, etc, etc, etc. It has been a huge stress with a lot of sleepless night and crazy dreams. So here on out I should feel like a load is off of my back. But now I have landscaping ahead and furniture to buy. Many of you would like to go out and buy new furniture but I am not thrilled. I just wish I could snap my fingers and be done. Right now I'm just glad that I can breath again. I'll have pics in a few weeks.

Kauai

It's always nice to get away. Especially, somewhere tropical. My friend, Britney and her husband, Ben came with. Thanks a ton for a great time. We had a blast - driving, tubing, kayaking, skydiving, swimming, laying out, playing cards, and of course eating. The highlight for me was skydiving, all I can say is holy _ _ _ _ (crap)!! It was so much fun and scary - adrenaline rush - I was nervous that my parachute wouldn't open, but when I got in the POS airplane I became more concern about the plane not making it. So if you have ever consider skydiving, go for it. Its pretty neat. Also a big thanks to my parents for letting us use the condo. The only down side to Kauai for me was chickens galore. We also got to spend one full day in Oahu, we drove everywhere from north to south and east, we skipped the west side. It was fun but a very long day. Thanks to my hubby for a great trip love you lots!
