Review

Well...We had our fabulous weekend. We had a fun time getting to go to the Miley Cyrus concert. If you haven't read previous posts...Makenzie was given 4 tickets thru PCH (THANK YOU!!!). We had a great time. Kenzie just had a blast. The concert was good. Our seats were in a suite. Miley was a little more, let's be nice, and say grown up...I am going to leave it at that. What is important is the girls had a FANTASTIC time. We also get to have a teaching moment about modesty. :) The pictures are of Miley, Makenzie, Megan Hancock and a friend from camp rainbow Makayla. Both girls were just so sweet. They really had a great time. :) The rest of the weekend has been nice. Pretty laid back. We went riding quads with Chris's parents. We had a fun time. The boys just LOVE to ride. Chris's parents just bought them and we were giving them a test run. I went to the Womens broadcast at the church. It was nice. I am a little over emotional lately so it took a little work keeping it together. Now we are ready to start another week. It should be a good one. Carson's birthday is on the 10th so we are super excited for that. :)

Hard Lesson

This morning was a pretty great morning. I went hiking with a few friends. We changed it up a little and went to Thunderbird. It was close to a 2 hour hike. GREAT workout. Came home did computer stuff. Chris had to play the piano for a memorial service. Before he left he told the kids if they did a good job cleaning we could do something fun with Gma and Gpa. They came to visit about a week ago and will be here until the first part of October.
We will call him "C" to save this person from any embarrassment. C always has a hard time cleaning. Does not see the point. C just whines and complains the whole time. All C had to do was about 15 minutes picking up and C would have been done. C proceeded to get worse and ended up in timeout. C was almost done and C decided to really give me a really hard time. I ended up giving ME a time out so I could cool down. I got kick and mauled as I put C back in time out over and over. C's dad was not so happy when he came home. He waited to talk to C. I remember as a kids that the wait was always worse than the punishment. C had to apologize and serve his two time outs. The last of the punishment was C had to stay home with mom and miss the movie with Gma, Gpa and the family. I cried when they left. C was so sad. What a hard lesson to learn. I do know that it is for the best. C is happy right now eating Ramen and watching Charlotts Web. I think next time C might have an easier time cleaninig. :) I sure LOVE "C" I think that I will let C earn a movie next weekend with mom for doing his chores all week. Hope you enjoy your weekend. :) Terri

I just have to show you what a sweetheart my Carson is. I just LOVE that little boy. Such a tender heart. Always thinking of others. This morning was not the best of mornings. Kenzie was struggling. I was struggling with what to do. After things settled down Carson walks in and gives Makenzie this note. He told her how much he loved her and he was able to make it all better. Look at this note... It says: I Love you Kenzie and me. (I wish I could figure out how to put the picture where I want it) This just melts my heart. :) LOVE YOU CARSON...

KTAR Radiothon

We are surviving this week. Just a super busy week. Kenzie had a ppointments on Tuesday and were not home all day. We get home and there is a message about feeding the missionaries...WE FORGOT! Sorry to the missionaries. I also told a friend I would take food in that night...FORGOT! Sorry!!! That seems to be the going theme these days.

My poor children...Questions asked as we leave for school...Are we going to be late? NO! Right on time. You have one minute to be in your class before the second bell rings. RUN! It is something I want to work on but there is a lot of room for improvement. :)

Makenzie and I were interviewed on KTAR tonight for the Radiothon for Phoenix Childrens Hospital. It was a lot of fun. It was pretty crazy in there. The interview was a little shorter than I would have hoped for. I had a lot more to say (imagine that). Here are a few pictures I pulled of the website. I hate putting a picture of me on there but Kenzie is in it and so is Gaydos from KTAR that did the interview. Kenzie did great as always. :)

Home from the Hospital - Big Surprise!!!

Kenzie is home from the hospital following surgery and doing well. She will stay home from school for a day or two to rest up and then she will go back. She will get scans again in about a week just to make sure the new shunt is doing its job. She got a scan this morning and everything looks great right now.

Kenzie got a big surprise this morning. A nice lady who works for the construction company (Perini Builders I think) that built Chase Field, US Airways Arena and Jobing.com Arena visited Makenzie and gave her 4 tickets to the upcoming Miley Cyrus concert. She will get to watch the concert from their company suite. Needless to say, she was surprised and super excited. She is a big fan and has wanted to go to a concert for some time now.
