91/366

Our (my) picture taking has not been the best lately. iPhone shots here & there (we did get some video of the kids jumping on the trampoline)... I'll need to step it up when we get home! We got in to Las Vegas last night, had a good sleep & watched the morning session of Conference before driving to Orem today.

Grandma & Grandpa made German pancakes for breakfast, & we headed out in the afternoon, making a stop at the hospital to see Riley & Chrissie. Darin & I went into Riley's room, one at a time, while the kids played in the playroom. Riley had the transplant of Preston's cells 2 days ago, & he's hanging tough. We stopped back at the Heflins' in Red Rock to say goodbye & pack up the rest of our stuff, then we were on the road to Las Vegas for the night. It's been nice to be here for such a long visit!

We had spent the night at Grandma & Grandpa Bishop's house last night, & spent the day with them. Dan & Lisa invited us all to their house tonight for a yummy dinner outside on the patio... which we did not photograph! These were the only pics of the night. We enjoyed the food & getting to catch up with everyone. After dinner, we came inside to watch a video of Uncle Ron playing Just Dance, then Danielle & Ashley showed us their moves! :)

After 2 1/2 weeks apart, Darin flew from Boise to Phoenix, & we (including Bryant) met him at the airport just after 8:00am. We had a quick breakfast then went to the zoo! It seemed like a lot of animals were missing... or sleeping, but we still had fun! We stopped at Ikea on the way back for lunch, then tonight, we met up with the Bishops (Grandma, Grandpa, Dan, Lisa, Ashley, Danielle, Rick, Rene, Brittany, Kody & Tylee) for dinner at La Parilla Suiza. Yum!

It was back to school for the Heflins today... I took Preston to the clinic for another shot this morning--he is being so brave. After school, there was a long overdue carrot harvest, & Greyson is feeling better!

Poor Greyson started coming down with the cold/fever yesterday. Mom insisted on staying home with Greyson & Ellie, so I took Wyatt, Brenna, Bryant & Gavin to church. Dad had made a last minute trip back to Las Vegas, & Vince had taken Preston to the hospital for his first Nupogen shot (the first of 5 days in a row) in preparation for Riley's bone marrow transplant on Thursday.

We finally made it over to see Grandma & Grandpa Bishop! Between Grandpa's cold & Ellie being sick this week, it was later than we'd originally planned. It was good to see them though, & Danielle was there for the afternoon too! This bin of lids was one of the favorite toys in the toy closet!

Dad taught these guys how to play checkers, & they were hooked! At the park, he initiated a rousing game of Frisbee (rousing Preston & Wyatt from their video games). I asked him to keep an eye on Greyson for me while I gave Ellie a bath, & he got him to sleep right on the floor! Grandpa's got magical powers.

Enjoying some Eegee's (a Tucson tradition!) & later, some iPhone game parallel play.
Mom & Dad got back from Las Vegas today. They were missed!

Ellie's on the mend, Gavin & Preston are hanging tough, fighting it off... no one else seems to have it!

Ellie perked up a little more today, but was still having fever here & there. Vince took the kids to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, & I kept Ellie home (who requested peas for dinner). Greyson has been loving the attention from all the kids here & is really expanding his skills in getting around.

Only picture taken today. Ellie's not feeling too much better... we're taking EmergenC!

I stayed home from church with Ellie (& Greyson)--she was not feeling well. She stayed in bed pretty much all day with fever off & on, & she absolutely refused to take medicine no matter what. The kids play so well together. Riley got his Patriarchal blessing tonight, & Chrissie put the finishing touches on Preston's new U of A themed room before finishing packing for another long hospital stay.

77/366

Major event not pictured: Brenna was baptized by Riley today! (Chrissie got pictures). Ellie woke up with a slight fever today, but seemed ok. We went to the baptism at 10:00, followed by lunch at the church (was too windy to have it at the park as originally planned). Mom & Dad headed back to Las Vegas after lunch, Ellie went to bed around 6:00, not quite herself, the kids made some crazy forts tonight, & Chrissie & I worked on the painting project in Preston's room which we'd started yesterday.

After a trip to the park, I recruited some help washing the car--it was filthy. Thanks guys!

Dad drove us the whole way from Las Vegas to Red Rock today--it was a nice break for me--& we got to help Mom celebrate her birthday! It was good to see Riley (& Chrissie) at home--he has to report back to the hospital next Monday. Greyson was a little suspicious of Riley's hat, as the picture above shows...

We drove to Las Vegas today, in time to meet up with Patty & her boys for some evening play.
Dad was here too (had flown up for a meeting), & will drive down to Arizona with us tomorrow.

We spent all day playing with the Williams. The weather was beautiful--we had lunch in the backyard, went to the park, then played in the front yard till the sun started to go down!
