Trey Tymes Two

Trey has been spending every chance he can with Matt this week. Here are a few Treyisms Matt has shared:

* "I poun-ed yat sut-er!" (I pounded that sucker. Usually stated after downing a glass of milk)

* Matt and Trey were walking through the parts store when Trey spotted a Gator (John Deere 4-wheel ATV). "Dad wets buy yat fing" "No Trey, we don't have any money" "Wets buy some-mow money!"

and these are the days of our lives . . .

The following posts are in no paticular order but have happened sometime

in the last 6 weeks of our lives.* EnJoY!

*They, however, do not include all the water that has been moved, hay cut, baled and hauled and happy memories we have shared as a family doing so:) Matt has worked extra hard this summer and even with all our other set-backs has created some pretty awesome crops. I am so thankful for him and the many hours he puts in at all his jobs!!

CUNDICK REUNION

We spent the 27th of June over in Bear Lake with Matt's moms side of the family. We did a lot of visiting and had a great time seeing his cousins and their kids from Boston. We spent a little time at the water, still a bit cold, but the kids had a blast.

Matt's sister Rikki and her family was here from Mississippi for a few weeks. I miss having them close but enjoy what time we did get to spend together. Between family reunions we snuck in a sleepover with her boys, Jackson and Shade. What a riot!! Whenever someone got hurt Jackson would yell "man down"! and poor Shade didn't sleep well because the blanket I gave him was "weawy uncomf-toble"!! I'm sad I didn't get any pic of their time here so if any of you have any, please share!!
Grandpa took us all fishing at the Weston Reservoir just before they left. Not to many bites but a relaxing, enjoyable evening. Thanks Grandpa!!

PLATT REUNION

My family reunion was held at Pinto Springs this year (not that I expect any of you to know where that is because most of you have no clue where NewCastle is!!) We enjoyed visiting, jet-skiing, and a nice session at the temple. Thanks Wade and Kayla for all the fun!

All thirteen grandkids!! (with only 1 on the way:) They all played so well together. At one point they were collecting little berries off the trees and calling them nuts. Next thing we knew Hayden had climbed up into a tree and was jumping on the limb, trying to shake the nuts out, and yelling "Save my nuts, save my nuts"!! So cute:)

Brit and Mattie. Mattie was able to take a ride in the semi this past week with my brother. He was up this way so he took her to Grandma's for the week. She was so excited to be able to spend time with Brit and Grandma. She hasn't stopped talking about it and she says Kayson grew an inch while she was gone:)

Kael and Hayden. Soakin' up som rays!!



I was able to spend a little time with both Grandma's while I was down home. I hadn't been home since Thanksgiving so it was so GREAT to go! The twins session was very good. I can't believe it is time for them to serve missions!

(no there is not that much height difference in the twins, the sidewalk slopes)

Pretty stinkin' AWESOME!!

UPDATE

At Kael's last clinic visit the Dr. and I had a discussion about med dosages. What they had written in his charts were different than what I was giving him ( I was giving him a lower dose by 1/2 a pill). Not a big deal his Dr says - it's just a 1/2 a pill - but start giving him the extra 1/2. His counts came back and were down again so we are not giving him the extra 1/2 after all. They had us pull blood this past Monday and counts were unbelievably HIGH!?!?! We go again tomorrow for another blood draw.

RELAY

The reason we RELAY!

Our youngest 'relay-er', Aleigha, 4-months. (Dan and Courts baby) She even stayed the night - what a cutie:)

I belive this was Saturday morning. Shauna and Court got us through the night again!! (You will be glad to know I did make it past 10:00 this year!!) It would not have been possible if it wasn't for Matt's family. Everyone was busy this year and I was not as dilligent in getting things organized so a big THANK YOU to my MOTHER-IN-LAW, (and father-in-law for making a huge effort to come) COURTNEY, DAN, a sick SONNIE, MITCH, WADE, and KAYLA!! Thanks to some dedicated friends that came on Friday night to support us: Eric and Shalice and their 2 boys, and Zak and Marcy and their 2 girls. MATT was terribly busy with the farm this year so it wasn't very ideal timing for him. He missed the walk and the dinner so I experienced single parenthood for the evening. He was able to make a few laps on Saturday. Thanks again to my in-laws for taking care of my other kids so I could be with Kael. Kael was very excited to Relay this year and he and Mattie ran quite a few laps for our team. They even did laps by themselves at times so someone was always on the track!!

This wagon came in very handy:) Trey, Ryanne, Mattie, and Kace taking one of their laps. (Every one of their laps included a trip to the bathroom. Seriously - I didn't know it was even possible to have to go so much!!)

Uncle Wade and Aunt Kayla represented my side of the family:) They were able to come for a few hours on Saturday. The kids thought it was fun to pull Uncle Wade in the wagon! Thanks guys!!

One view from our camp-site. It was Relay for Life's 25th Anniversary so we actually Relayed for 25 hours instead of 24. The theme this year was "Back to the Future" so we decorated our camp-site with a dance floor, jukebox, 45's, and poodle skirts. Our sign read "Stepping BACK in time TO find a cure for THE FUTURE". We won for sticking to the theme the best:)

They do not make shirts small enough for Kace and Trey so I made these about an hour before I left the house. It is one of my most favorite pics of Kael with his nurses kissing him on his cheeks. The shirt says "I relay for Kael".

I am trying to hold it together in this pic. They had the survivors walk on one side of the quad and the cargivers walked toward them on the other side. We met in the middle and then walked under an arch of purple balloons. It was done very well!

Kael is on the left. The kid just to the right of him is JT.

He had ALL too and is 3-years cancer free.

Team Leak was able to raise over $800 thanks to all of you!

THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE!! THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU!

Just a side note: The landslide that happened in Logan last week was just off the hill from where the Relay was held. Sad and scary.

Play BALL . . .

In June we decided we were bored (haha) so we took up T-Ball/coach-pitch. For the first few weeks we had practice once a week and games twice a week. CRAZY. Mad and Kael were on seperate teams and most games were at different locations. Thanks to Mattie's coach, we made it work. Kael was pretty ticked he had to hit it off the T but I made him stick to it. Next year he can play coach-pitch and it will be a little more of a challenge to him. Mattie had to play coach-pitch and she did awesome. Her coach was very energetic (even at 7-8 months pregnant) and did a really great job teaching them the fundamentals. This was not competitive ball so there were no winners. ( That is a soapbox for another day). GOOD JOB MATTIE AND KAEL!!

We are starting Kace early!! I can't believe he could hold the bat up like that:)

BAtteR UP!

KaeL


Matt practiced grounders with them whenever he had a minute so I had to get this pose. I forgot to mention that both teams were the "Newton Skeeters". For any of you that know the area, it fits!!
