Surgery for Max

(Before Picture coming soon)

Thursday of this week some of us took a little road trip to Tucson.

Max needed some surgery to take off a fatty tumor on his shoulder and Sally talked to a dermatologist friend of hers and they decided to do it as an outpatient surgery. They wanted him to stay overnight in Tucson in case of any complications. Steve is always up for a road trip and offered to drive him (because Max was not to drive after the surgery). Steve wanted me to go with him and we thought we should tell Peg, and she was on also.

So Max was called back and the nurse asked "Do you have anyone with you?" and Max says "Yes my three sister and brother-in-law!"

They moved us to a different waiting room and we started waiting.

This is what we did while we waited.

I finished this Redwork I have been working on for years.

Peg worked on this block for her apron quilt.

Sally worked on her hexagon blocks.

Steve took a nap.
Max (after surgery) waiting for a prescription to be filled for pain.

The Suns were playing that night and the Men watched the game while the Women worked on a project Peg brought "Craft Aprons".

Max did better than we thought and we headed home the next morning.

On our way out we got to go to our "One Token Quilt Store"

Cactus Quilt Shop

(it was a good one)

Love being with family!!!!!

May 8th Double the Fun

Saturday morning we get a phone call from Cole that Kelly had gone to the hospital in the middle of the night and Khloe was here!

Kelly woke in the night and was feeling sick (chills and fever) and that started her contractions.

They left for the hospital at about 2:30.

When the babies heart rate started dropping they rushed her to do a c-section.

Khloe 4:04 AM 6 lb9 oz.

It was early in the morning so I sent a text to her sisters (and sister-in laws) and brothers that Kelly's baby was here. Amy was one that called back immediately.

She said she wasn't sleeping anyway.

Kelly was doing the food for a Stake Cub Scout Day Camp Saturday and all the food was at her house.

She as supposed to make subs with her Dad that morning. Kim said she would help with the Subs and Amy said "I might as well, what else am I doing".

They finished the subs and I took the other food to the church and woke up the Beecher Kids to the news of the new sister.

I was coming home from hospital about 9:00 when Amy calls and says she is on the way to the hospital and I was surprized she was going to visit Kelly so soon and she said

"My water just broke, I'm on my way!!!!"

The rest of the day was a blur for all of us but about 7:30 we get the word that

Jade Rooklyn was here!

@6:59 7 lb13 oz 20.5 inches long.

It was a long day with the whole family helping out where needed. Even Cute big sister Emily turned into a little mom and took over with things that needed to be done for her mom and the kids.

I love my family and it was so fitting the next day was Mother's Day

We had a real "Mother Fest" all day and I loved it.

Shrimp Boil Party

Steve has wanted to have a Shrimp/Crab Boil for a long time. Our Anniversery is Tuesday and he wanted to invite the Kids for a "Shrimp Boil"

Emily made the sign for the front door.
They came even on bikes!

It starts with a "Big Pot"

Then you add seasoning, potatoes, corn, onions and finally the Shrimp at the last.

You have to time each thing you add so they will all finish cooking at the same time.

Bottle water for beverage.

Cute little Alli, everyone loves to take a turn holding her.

Seth, Kate, Halle and Macey

Girls waiting for the dinner to cook.....

...and the BoysDinner Served

It all goes on the table. No plates!

Everyone loved it!!!

Except these three ladies (not fond of fish).

But Grandpa loved it and taught the kids how to eat crab.

Mitchell was really taken with the crab legs.

Now for desert. Laura tested some cupcake recipes for a party next week.

Joni made fabulous Strawberry Shortcake.

The evening ended with the kids finding scorpins with a black like.

The kids liked this a little too much.
