Race to Cure Diabetes

As most of you know our son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes little over three years ago. It can be frustrating at times, watching what he has to go through. Some people think, at least it's only diabetes. Yes it is true, things could be a lot worse. I just don't think people realize what these kids have to go through. They are pretty much on life support everyday. It's all about keeping their blood sugar in check, not to high, not to low. You can call Nurses, Doctors, and send in the records. But all they do is give you suggestions on what to do. Nothing stays the same, it changes on a daily basis, activity level, emotions, etc.... It breaks my heart to see what these kids have to go through. In the mean time we just try and stay positive and make the best of it. On Sept. 11 there was a motorcross race to sponsor JDRF. Jarrod entered the race to help raise money to hopefully find a cure. So everyone that has Type 1 diabetes won't have to suffer anymore. Some of the pictures are of the Pro's that came to help out. The double bike was part of the Thrillbillies crew, they recorded part of the race for one of their shows. It was a fun and long day, but worth it if they find a cure!

School Year 2010-2011

Sigh of relief-School. Well, it's that time of year again. Gotta love it! I know I will be wishing they were back home in a couple of months. They were both excited for school to start this year. I will admit, it was kinda boring shopping for uniforms this year, but on the other hand it was nice because they didn't have a huge selection to choose from.

Mom! Why do you have to take a picture of us?

Jacob is a big time FOURTH grader this year!

He thinks he has the best teacher ever.

Shaylee is a SIXTH grader this year , middle school!

She was a little disappointed when she found out she

did not get recess this year. She was excited about getting
her very own locker.

Has it really been 12 years?

How did my baby go from this...

to this...

I really can't believe Shaylee just turned 12. Where does the time go? Seriously! I don't think I'm old enough to have a daughter in YW( Young Womens) She went to YW for the first time last week, and loved it! We love you Shaylee HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We did it!!!

We ran our first 5K as a Family... I know this post is late but as they say Better Late then Never, I just had to let everyone know (and maybe brag a little) that we accomplished our goal we set as a Family at the first of the year. The Boy's ended up winning the Girl's this time. Shaylee needs a little more motivation!!

Great way to spend Fathers Day

Awe what a great way to spend Fathers Day morning. I went riding over Lewis Peak to Pineview, It was great to get out and enjoy a ride. Here are some pics of the views and some fun obstacles you get to bounce over.

In Loving Memory

May 31, 2010

Today we lost a very wonderful women. She was a wonderful wife, mom, great grandma, friend, but to me she was my Grandma. She will always have a special place in my heart and I will always Love and Miss Her. I don't think I knew anyone else that could love the way she did, no matter what the circumstance. Her love was ...pure and true and you felt it every time you were with her. I Love You Grandma.
