This was taken at the hotel after Darwin's surgery and I guess little brothers make the best pillows cause they slept like this most of the night!



Porter's favorite thing to do is fly, fun for him work out for Dad and minor heart attack for Mom!


Figured I should put an updated picture of Parker being that he is now almost four months old!


Our little hockey man! Obvisously hockey is his favorite sport!

Well I figured I better update everyone on well the drama that is my life! On Friday I took Darwin in to the doctor and they ended up admitting him for extreme dehydration but then they released him the same day. Then Saturday night he coughed up some blood so I called the hospital they said to give him something cool to help stop the bleeding and if it continues to bring him in. Well after a popsickle, the bleeding stopped so we thought nothing of it. Then at about 11:30 last night he jumps out of bed coughing, I flip on the light and he is covered in blood. We take him and they had to admit him because of the bleeding. They got control of the bleeding and stabalized him, however the surgeon in Bend wants them to keep him another day and night for monitoring and hydration. Apparently 30% of adult cases have post operative bleeding that can cause several complications. But on good news, Denver has finally started to deflate!! And Porter and Parker are happy! One day I hope to have a really happy post they is full completely of good news... I look forward to that day! Hopefully it will come soon cause I need a break! Oh well. Love you all and thanks for all the prayers and support!

These are the days we're really sorry you don't live closer. We could babysit the kids or Darwin, bring you dinner, or all sorts of things. Get that boy (all those boys) well and move up here :)

Oh Candace. Woman, my heart goes out to you. You are officially a super-woman! I find great inspiration in your strength.

One of the most frequently used phrases in the Book of Mormon comes to mind: "And it came to pass..." It didn't come to stay; it moves on. And so will this phase in your life, so keep hanging in there. Your names are all on the prayer roll.
