Boys will be Boys!!

Great times with our friends Mike, Megan and (Tate's favorite) Blake. We spent the other day up at 1st dam for a little dinner. We were to go up farther but a mix up with the dams. The boys especially Blake loved the "big birds"...I am not sure what they were. Goose? Anyway and then last night we had a BBQ is the drive way, while Tate and Blake took a swim together. They swam great until the steaks were done cooking and then heck broke loose. It was pretty funny cuz they are very mobile now and can get in and out, and we were constantly running after one or the other...the whole dinner. Oh well we tried and it was still a great time. Thanks Whitesides!!

My sweet little Tater Tot!

What a hot lookin' couple!

Birds..birds, crazy birds!

Good ol' froggy pool! Tate and Blake are buds!

Escape artists!

It's what fun is!!!

LAGOON!!

Yesterday, we went to Lagoon with Alpine Cleaning. We had a blast! I was a little hesitant at first with Aaron's broken foot, but it turned out great!! The lines really weren't all that long and we really enjoyed the water rides with the heat. I was soaked!!! We had a buffet dinner and then hit the rides just before home! (Thank you Cindi for watching Tate.....so Aaron and I could have a fun filled day with friends and ourselves.)

Oh and Aaron wouldn't let me push him around in a wheel chair, he did just fine with his crutches with no pain at all!! His buddies were really funny, they all loved saying "come on gimpy" OR "hurry up slow poke". They were really sweet though and would grab his crutches quickly after the rides for him.

The ride WICKED, was Wicked. We loved this ride....awesome!!

Pretty sad when all I wanted was a nice picture of the guys at Lagoon and they couldn't even get off the PHONE!! Dang it!

Aaron's buddies!

The wondrous wives!

What?.... we wore the same shirt??!!! Crap!


Updates from the last week or two!

Aaron, Tate and I hit the Cache Valley Fair this past weekend and Tate sure enjoyed the crowds and animals.


Aaron enjoyed the animals also!!


We went with Grandma and Grandpa Barfuss up the canyon for yummy tin foil dinners and smores. We love the canyons and all of its beauty!




Girls day out in SLC!!! (and Tate) We enjoyed the day of shopping, eating and loving every moment with sisters and mom. Love you guys!

Learning how to walk!

Well bet you were thinking this post was going to be about Tate learning how to walk???!!! Well he is very close, and has done a bit by himself. But...... this post is an update on my hubby. Today was yet another follow up and yes another co-pay (that makes around $150.00 or more in co-pays...these could almost about kill us....oh well.) The doc said great news......Aaron is about to learn how to walk again. The X-rays looked good, they couldn't see any cracks anymore. He is to slowly over the next 2 weeks, learn how to walk with crutches. (and then get rid of the crutches after that) YAY!! And even better he doesn't need to wear the boot anymore. This is a slow process, cuz it has been 7 weeks and his calf muscle is pretty much the size of Tate's. He has lost lots and lots of muscle. BUT.....looking at the positive the other leg is huge and very toned from all of the hopping around. So the moral of the story is I will have 2 boys in my household, learning how to walk at the same time. YIPEE! No, I am very grateful for the wonderful news and I am VERY excited to go on real walks with him and get going on our yard work again. We are soooo close.

As a funny note, tomorrow we are going to Lagoon, with Alpine Cleaning and Rest. and guess who gets to get pushed around in a wheel chair??? Should be loads of fun!!!

Yucky foot!!! ALMOST ALL BETTER!


Remember these days with crutches?? They are almost over......YAY!



Soooo long, old friend!!!

It's not easy being green!

The other day I was wearing lime green and Tate woke up and I was looking in his drawer for something for him to wear. I saw lime! I thought it would be fun to match. We took some pictures and thought it was great and dandy......till we went to Sam's club, Shopko, and Walmart. I then noticed people smiling and whispering with there friends and family. Oh look at the mother and son, they are matching. HEE HEE HEE How precious!! Very embarrassing!!!

Perfect day for Tyson! (update)

Tuesday was a wonderful day! Not that I enjoy going to funerals by any means, but I think that Tyson would be proud and pleased. He planned his whole funeral, and it was a absolutely beautiful. This was one of the neatest services I have ever been to. There wasn't a sole without tears rolling down there face, the spirit was so strong. Everyone could feel it and knew it was real. I know without a doubt the talks were inspired and so was the music. I really think it couldn't have been any better. Great job Tyson!!! It was very neat to walk in and see all of the support of the High school students wearing there Sky View football jerzee's. Tyson was never a very big guy to play football and he had been sick for so long, but he was able to be the Sky View's football manager for 2 years and loved every moment of it. Ten months ago for the "Make a Wish foundation" his wish was to go and watch a Tampa Bay Buccaneers football game in Florida. This was a major highlight of his life.

Friends, family and loved ones all gathered at the Logan cemetery to say one last goodbye, (here on this earth.) Tyson's wish was to have everyone let a white balloon fly into the air, let go and know that he is in good hands and free. It was a beautiful and wonderful sight to see.

Everyone was so proud of Suzy and her strength.


Wonderful family and friends.


Beautiful sight to see. (many, many more that I could not capture on my little camera.)




Professional singers from Nashville, flew in for two hours to sing for Tyson a couple songs, (one they wrote for him) just to hop back on the plane again. They were so inspired by his story, they wouldn't have missed it.


Tawnee, Tyson's sister.

The phone call just came!

As tears run down my face, it's hard to see the computer screen. The day has come, Tyson passed away just a few minutes ago. We haven't gotten any info about if it was peaceful or not, because Aaron's dad is trying to make the phone calls to inform everyone in the family of the news. I am pretty sure the funeral will be Mon. or Tues. because everything is in place and ready already. Aaron was pretty bummed when he heard that Tyson wanted him to be a pallbearer and he can't because of his broken foot. Tyson has dropped to about 30 pounds, so I'm sure they don't really need eight men, but Aaron really would have liked to have been part of this. My heart goes out to Suzy, Tawnee and Kent today. I really am not sure how I could live without my child. These next few months will be so hard for Suzy. She will be strong. She said after all of this is over with and done, she just needs to run away for awhile. I hope she does. We all know that he is in a better place and all is good, but ohhh it would be sooooo hard. We loved Tyson so much and it will be so hard to have him gone, even when we have been just waiting for this day to come so he could just have some relief. About 3 months ago they gave us the news that 2 weeks to 2 months was the time line. He has been such a fighter through these rough and painful months. He told his mom that he was hanging on to see his 18th birthday. This was 2 weeks ago. He is such a great and strong man. We are so grateful that we were able to meet and be part of his short life. We know he is able to run and be free of this terrible cancer that has been part of his life for so long. WE LOVE YOU TYSON!
