A little over a month AND a year ago (kori)

It is June 2013 and feel a little in awe.  The school year is over and I am happy to report we survived it.  The kids are all moving forward.  D finished his first semester of at MSU (Go Cats), W will be entering his last year of high school this fall, w is a junior, S survived middle school and is headed to high school, R and C each finished another year in elementary school.  It was a little crazy finding rides to plays and parties and celebrations, but thanks to my drivers and lunch makers we made!!  Thanks!!!




"Shcool is asome" tattoo R gave C at end of the year, they are kinda sad moving on to summer and missing their friends and their amazing teachers.

2nd grade learning celebration!

Three of a kind play performed by the first graders

8th grade celebration.
Well, now it is summer time to start doing fun things.  It is also start of "birthday season" in this household.  6 kids birthday from the end of May to the end of June.  Some years we bundle them some years we do them individual.  This year it so far has been a bundle.
S is becoming a great baker.  Brownies, spice cake, and raspberry lemonade for the BIG boys party.
 
We have been fitting in some fun too (in between MRI's, doc visits, and blood draws).... hanging out with family, friends and the tooth fairy.

The kids have started enjoying summer.  C and R have been out trying to find worms so Daddy can go fishing sometimes when he is not working. 

No luck fishing today.

"A C for my name!"

Super Dave, driving during the week, Debos on the weekend.
 
So that is where the family sits today, unfortunately today I am sitting back in Denver with my lovely bright yellow hospital gown hooked up to a 24-7 machine to monitor my brain and waiting for Bozeman and/or Billings to send copies of my MRI's down here.  This is a short blog today, hospital's don't let you sleep much. 
I have my flower of hope in my phone from my Aunt/Godmother, she gave it me last May when I first was admitted to the hospital in Bozeman.  It was just a beautiful plant that bloomed all summer long and then I thought it was dead and almost pulled it out of the pot, but found one green piece on it, so pulled off the dead stuff and now it came back to life.  I keep trying to hold back the tears, but this did me in.....
Flower of hope!!
Okay, test time.  Thanks for everyone helping with kids and prayers and just all the overall support.
 In Denver.
Missing Montana.
