What a Month!

December is pretty busy and crazy for almost every one. Well on top of the usual holiday fun we bought a house, sanded, primed, painted and then glazed our kitchen cabinets, painted two bed rooms, tiled the kitchen, dining room and laundry room and then installed hard wood through out the rest of the up stair (excluding bedrooms). Then we moved in. Christmas was some where in all that. Last week Randy and I had a great opportunity to go to Denver for a few days. It was Leadership Conference with that great direct Sales Company I work for (if I say their name I get an email requesting me to remove their name....rules) and since airfare was only $100 round trip I had to take Randy with me. So we got home late Saturday night and then Monday morning at 3 am we had to drive to SLC for Ashton's Heart Cath. BUSY!!! Monday was a tough day. THANK YOU to every one who remembered and called or texted. It meant so much to Randy and I to be reminded of all the people who love us. Ashton did great, ok he did amazing. He is 3 years old and had to lay in the hospital bed for 6 hours after his surgery keeping his leg straight!!! What 3 year old can do that??? Well he did great! They found his heart is strong enough for any surgery and they ballooned an artiery while in there as well as closing off a few abnormal blood vessels. Now we must wait. Wait to see if the balloon helps him at all. This week has been rough and we don't see positive change but the doctor told us we can not tell until next week. So we wait.
Thank you again for all your love and support. We are so blessed.

I'm so glad to hear Ashton's appointment went well. What a good, strong kid! Good luck.

I wish we had your motivation. We have hardly done anything to get settled in to our new place. We've got tons of painting to do. It could be because my dear husband doesn't feel like doing it and DEFINITELY doesn't want me to do it. Ugh.

I'm SO glad Ashton is ok. I know how boring laying in a hospital bed for six hours of heart surgery feels like...but to do it when you're 3? WOW Ash. Good job buddy! And I really was thinking about you guys and praying for Ash the WHOLE day....but the nausea had my attention....tell Ash I love him! :)
