I am so glad I made it back to watch the concert and the track meet. I really would have felt like I missed out on a big part of my twins senior year. Tyanne hasn't been able to do a sport in over a year and a half and she just loves Track. As for Tyson I would say track is definitely his sport! Darius also does really good, he is just really young still...it will get better for him. So today was really windy and cold, and I was watching David so I didn't get as many pictures as I had hoped. David fell asleep and seriously slept for about 3 hours during the meet...he was just bundled up and was out!
Here is Tyson Long Jumping! He did great! He got first place! He also got 1st in Triple Jump and 2nd in High Jump and 2nd in 4 x 400 relay. He had a good day!
Darius also did good, he didn't place but neither did Tyson when he was a freshman!
Tyanne also did good in Long Jump and got a PR for the year and took 3rd place. She also got 2nd in Triple Jump and she did an outstanding job in the 300 hurdles today and she took 2nd place. She also got 1st place in the 4x400 relay. She was the first runner and really got them a good lead!
That is a nice landing though!
Grandpa with sweet Baby David...although he's not quite sure about being out in this cold wind!
I just love that hair...he reminds me of a baby duck!
So the cool surprise of the night was that Tyson got the award for having the most points out of all the boys at the meet! Go Tyson! That was totally awesome!
Today was a wonderful day. Rob had the day off and I got to watch David while Jessica worked. He wasn't feeling very good and just wanted to be cuddled all day....so that is pretty much what Grandma and Grandpa did all day...cuddled a cute little boy and catch up on our episodes we like to watch. It was really nice to have a little down time! Then this evening the kids had a concert. I love watching them perform. It is so much fun that all 3 of them get to perform together in the Taste of Sound, which is like the Madrigal's from Snowflake. They have a wonderful Director who lives two doors down and is in our ward. They really like him and he is a lot of fun! Here are some pictures and videos of tonight! This is a picture of their first song. I know it isn't very clear that is when I decided to just video tape their songs!
Again not very clear...I will have to do better next time, but at least you can hear them singing!
I love it when they dance! I had so many compliments for Tyanne after the concert that she is so much fun to watch...that your eyes just go to her because she looks like she is having so much fun!
Oh I just love this picture! I know I'm the mom but they are just so cute! Here are a few after concert picture of them and their friends!
This is the look that the boys give when someone wants to date thier sister! They are both very protective...but I think that Darius is the worst!
The kids just being silly...with Becca Peck added to the group!
Three beautiful girls...inside and out! Love them! Brooklyn Farrar, Tyanne and Becca Peck!
Here is the crew...Darius, Brooklyn, Tyanne, Becca, Tyson and we couldn't forget Savanna!
...and Tyane and her good friend Bruce!
We can't forget Jessica and sleeping David! It was just a great night!
Well today we went hospital hopping! Emery came to the hotel we were staying at and ate breakfast with us. The breakfasts at this hotel are totally amazing! They have someone that makes fresh omlets and they are wonderful! They also have french toast that is really good and just a whole lot of other things. They have a juice that is a peach citrus that is amazing! Here is our cook!
We then went and saw Michael this morning. He is still sedated and still has all the IV's and breathing tubes still in. The nurse he has today is horrible! Sara said she was really mean and short with her. She asked her if she would please update us if there was any changes and especially if they pull the breathing tube out and he wakes up. While we were there Daryl took Brandon for the day.
Here is the clan on the way up in the elevator...we decided not to jump!
After a couple of hours we then went to a hospital in Scottsdale and saw Michael's nephew and our adopted brother Randall who is in the hospital because a lead came out of his pacemaker and he had to go into surgery to have it fixed on Monday. His sweet wife Jamie and his cute little boy Braxton was there. We also saw his Dad (Michael's brother) Curtis at the hospital. Next we went to Mesa and visited Liza who is in the hospital for a bone marrow transplant. She has a form of Leukemia and we are hoping this will really help her. Shanna is her donor. So Mom had planned on coming down here this weekend to be with her sisters anyway. Shanna has been having to take shots to draw the good blood cells out of her bone marrow so they can take it out on Monday. They will turn around and put it into Liza on Monday as well. So far Shanna said the shots hasn't been as painful as she has heard they would be. We decided to go eat at Golden Corral and Duskin joined us.
While we were there Sara called to check on Michael and they told her that he was awake and the breathing tube was out. She was so angry that they didn't call her! We hurried back to the hospital and I couldn't help but take this sweet picture of the two of them!
He is awake and he is looking pretty good. They made him sit in the chair for 5 hours. Although Michael wasn't very happy that Sara wasn't there to begin with, but the stupid nurse didn't tell her! We stayed tonight in the hotel again.
My brother-in-law Michael who is younger than I am (39) had a heart attack on his way home from vacation cruising to Mexico. Sara called me at 11:00 p.m. on Thursday and told me that Michael had just had a heart attack and she needed me to talk with her while she followed the ambulance up to the hospital. They soon confirmed the heart attack and then they prepared to fly him to Phoenix. Richard, Daniel, and Mike drove Sara to the valley and got there about 4 in the morning. Mom went back and got Brandon from Heather's and drove up this morning. Jessica, David and I also drove down this morning and met Jordan in the valley because he was down there for an EA music tour. We picked up Jordan at Superstition Springs Mall and headed over to the Arizona Heart Hospital and this is what we find! My two brothers are still at each other, as you can see from Richard's grimacing face....he just got hit in an unfortuante place! Of course Daniel is grinning!
I guess they really had a fun time, I guess as much time as you can have in a hospital. They also had Daryl (Michael's brother) and Mike (Michael's nephew). One funny story about this hospital is I guess they were coming down on the elevator and Daniel said "Jump" not thinking that all of them would jump but they all did and I guess the elevator just shook, hard and dust came down from the top and they truly felt like the elevator was going to break!
Well by the time we got to the hospital Michael had been in surgery and had a triple bypass. The Dr.'s said his heart had been really bruised and they left some kind of pump in to help his heart pump to give it a little bit of a break and can heal. They want to keep it in at least until tomorrow. We went in to visit him but he was sedated and would be until at least tomorrow as well. He had so many tubes and IV's coming out of everywhere you could barely get in his room. He just looked so sad!
Well Richard, Mike and Daniel, and Jessica, Jordan and David all drove home tonight. We then drove around forever trying to find a hotel that was close to the hospital and just happen to get one that was really close. We tried to get one online but they were all so expensive! I guess they have spring training down here this weekend so everything is super expensive! So we went and got settled in. Crazy this was the same hotel I had stayed in one time when I came down for a dental convention with Dr. West. I remember it had amazing breakfasts! Sara and I went back to the Hospital to see Michael and Grandma and Brandon stayed at the hotel. Grandma took Brandon swimming, but Brandon started drowning and Grandma had to jump in the pool with all her clothes on. So when we came back Brandon was still swimming and Mom was sitting there in soaking wet clothes!
So today was a great and busy day! I got up and got my exercising done then I actually booked or cruise! I am so exited! We have never been on a cruise. Rob took some time off in June and we are leaving on a 4 day excursion to Mexico June 8th. We are taking Tyson, Tyanne, and Darius. So then I got ready and Jessica and I went to the Safford baseball field and watched Snowflake play. It was so fun to see Chris Lyman, Layla Goodman, Michelle Reidhead, but most one of my best friends Gaylene Fusselman! We just love their family, they are like our extended family. Well Rob and David have been friends for a very long time, he was Rob's best man at our wedding and Gaylene sang with my uncle Mark (at the time). And we lived just right around the corner from each other for many years and have always been in the same ward. Gaylene and I would go walking together and served in young women's together. David blessed Jessica when Rob couldn't and Jessica and David have always had a special bond. Therefore she not only named David after Tyson, but also after David. He has a very special name, David Michael, the Michael after Jordan's Dad.
Well we watched the lobos play and then went to eat with David, Gaylene and Derek, their oldest son. It was so much fun! We then went back and watched them play again but then I needed to go visiting teaching and went to two sisters then went home.
