Natalee

This is my dear sweet friend, Natalee. I have known her for as long as I can remember living in Herriman. I am so blessed to be her visiting teacher as well!Last week, her life changed drastically, as her husband passed away. My heart aches for her as she faces life without a husband and her two precious children no longer have a father. I remember going to visit Natalee and going back and forth with her husband about BYU and Utah. (They are huge Ute fans!) Good, clean rival talk :) Cory and I would mention how the two families needed to get out and go camping and riding together. That never happened and how we both wished it did! Please keep Nat and her family in your thoughts and prayers. They need all the love and support we can give them!

Bake Sale

Last Saturday was the bake sale for Tim :) It was a huge success! We had over 250 items for sale (some donated by local bakeries, others made by neighbors and friends!) We sold out around noon and were cleaned up and out of there by 1. Even though there were clouds blocking the sun and the wind was blowing a little, we were warmed by the generous donations of so many! Here are a few pictures from the day.


Jonah, Mik and Tim on the corner getting people's attention!

Our set up for the day! So many yummy things to choose from!

Munchkin Radio came to the event and provided some music. It was all kid music, but it was fun and it got peoples' attention! He also had a cordless microphone that he let the kids take to the corner and talk in it! We had a lot of kids fighting over that thing:)

Kids out on the corner doing the "Chicken Dance!" Some of the Young Women in the ward came and held posters on the corners for us. They danced around like you see the Little Ceasar's Pizza guys do :)

And here we are holding up the poster that was so generously made and donated to us! Tim has a huge head! "It's like an orange on a toothpick!" for those of you who have seen "So I Married an Axe Murderer!"
Again, thank you so much to those of you who donated baked goods and those of you who came to the bake sale and bought goodies. I hope they were all to your liking :) We raised over $3400! Our next event is a yard sale on April 30th! Start your spring cleaning and contact Amy Baker if you have anything you would like to donate! Thanks again. We are getting through this because of all your support and love!

Tim's Heart

Tim came home yesterday from his 5 day stay at PCMC. He had a pretty rough go of it this time around. I guess that is a good sign because they say the worse the child is means that the chemo is doing it's job! We have 2 more rounds of chemo before his surgery to remove the cancer from his leg. The surgery should be sometime in May. Most likely in June, chemo treatments will start up again. He will have another 8 chemo treatments lasting about 4-5 months. What's nice is that the treatments will be the same as he has now!
Check Tim out sleeping at the hospital. He got his best sleep in the morning:)We experienced a little bit of miracle during this hospital visit. While we were there, Tim had another "echo" of his heart. One of the drugs that he gets can cause damage to his heart in the long run. His last "echo" was before any chemo was started, so it was time to see how things were going. The next day, I asked the doctors what the results of the "echo" were. They pulled up the notes and said that "it was as if his heart has not seen any chemo at all." Both of the doctors there were quite surprised and excited about that! I was so grateful and thought about all the prayers that are being said in behalf of Tim:) I know prayers are heard and answered and that fasting does work. Thank you so much to those who continue to pray and fast for our Tim. The Lord has blessed him and continues to bless him in so many ways!
