Busy ...Busy....Summer

Wow, where has the summer gone? Seems like it has just flown by. Guess it was because we had such a busy, involved one. I love the fall, but do not look forward to winter. Jim is back in school, and we are starting to get back on schedule. Whatever that is. We had our 1st Great Grandbaby, Jacy Lorraine Smith, is summer. Had a bunch of the grandkids stay over. Jace got married to a great girl, Reilee Jo O'Brien Opps! She is now Reilee Jo Brinkerhoff. She was so cute at the weddding, the sealer called her Mrs. Brinkerhoff and she said Oh, that's me! We love her. We attended the Erickson Reunion in July, and spent Labor Day weekend at OtterCreek in our lovely trailer. We also took a trip to Panguitch Lake the weekend that Jacy was blessed. We killed 2 birds with one stone, I guess you could say. So you can see we have been on the run,

Phew.... just writing this makes me tired. I will post some pictures of all our fun.

SHAY IS HOME.....

Here she is walking into the house. I didn't see Kelcey when I took the picture, not sure where she popped out from, but at least you can see Shay.
We are glad to have her home. Know that being home will help a lot. She is doing good. We are proud of her, she is a brave girl.

Shay's Surgery.........

So Monday was Shay's big day. We all trugde up to Primary Children's for her surgery. We were told to be there at 10:45 and that she would go in at 12. But due to mixed up schedules, we ended up waiting until 2:30 for her to go in. But, they had told us it would take 4 to 5 hours and he came out after 3 and said they were all done. She did great! No problems with her lungs, or her ribs, and he felt good about it. Thanks Heaven for answered Prayers!.

Shay, back in the outpatient area.

After waiting so long she couldn't stand it and came out to see Colt!

Us all, waiting in the waiting room. Lots of people there with lots of problems. We are thankful for ours, and that things went so well.

Here is Shay back in her room right after surgery. She was pretty groggy, but did respond to us and our questions.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame..........

We finally got to go see Jace play ball this year. It has been so dang cold, but Sat. in the sun it was pretty warm. In fact Jim and I both got a little sun burned. Matt and Syd came also, as he was up taking his EMT testing. Syd came to spend some time with Shay before her surgery. All in all it was a fun time, even tho they lost to Ganzaga.
