Karma

Last night I went to a Twilight movie viewing party at Kate's. It was fun to finally see the movie and hang out with some friends. I had taken two bags of clothes that Wyatt either grew out of or refused to wear because they aren't his style (no I am not kidding-he is extremely picky!) So the other girls went through them and took what they wanted. I was glad to find a good home for his clothes. As I walked up to my door after the party, there was a bag of clothes. I thought maybe I left one of the bags of Wyatt's clothes when I set them down to lock the door on my way out (I am very forgetful these days.) But as I got closer I realized it was girls clothes. I was a bit taken back but grabbed the bag and headed inside. Nate didn't know anything about it. I went through the bag and was pleasantly surprised to find some cute clothes just my size. Thank you dear friend, whomever you maybe, you have no idea what a pick me up that was for me! I have been wanting a new dress for so long and just couldn't find the time or money to go get one. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! May karma return the favor to you!

stones

Several people have asked how big the stones are that Nate has been passing. He was more than happy to take this picture of what he has passed since his second surgery. Here is to all you weirdos that like this kind of stuff- it just makes me want to vomit!

Nate's X-Ray

Here is one of Nate's xrays from last month. You can see two LARGE stones on the left and the stints on both sides. The stints make the opening from the kidneys larger to make it easier to pass stones. Even with the stints in there is NO WAY he could pass these stones! OUCH!!!! Here is a picture Wyatt took of himself and asked me to post on the blog.

Getting old

Today a girl I used to babysit, starting when she was three and until she no longer needed a babysitter, sent in her mission papers! I feel so old!!!!!! I am so excited for her but am floored by the thought that she could be old enough to go on a mission. I now realize I have been home from my mission for over 8 years now-MAN! I AM OLD! Time sure flies when your busy changing diapers and wiping messy faces!

nate update

Nate had his second surgery today. Things went well (for the most part.) He is feeling much better than he did after his first surgery. His back is already showing the bruises from the procedure but he is up and moving about. When they went in they thought they would be dealing with two stones but found three. They were only able to break of two of the three today and so he will have another surgery in about 4 weeks. They did remove one of the stints so that will make things a little more bearable we hope. Thank you Kate and Becky for taking care of my little ones so I could be there for Nate!!!!
