Boring Labor Day

The last few days have been so crazy! Labor day we did a whole lot of nothing, just stayed at home and lounged around. Jason was very happy. I would have liked to be out and having a big BBQ. We had hoped to go to Graham to visit family and friends, but our plans fell through.

Tuesday was Jason's 32nd birthday. WOW! He is so old. We went and had two new front tires put on Jason's Honda. Happy Birthday!!! There is a Chinese Buffet here in Burleson that will let you eat free on your birthday, so guess where we ate. Yep, reheated Chinese. I do not like Chinese buffets much, but I still managed to stuff myself to the point of misery. Jason was happy so that was good. The waitress even brought Jason a piece of cake(dry & off the buffet) with a candle in it and sang Happy Birthday to him in Chinese. I ended up making him brownies and a cake because he would not tell me what he wanted. He ate both. So that was his uneventful birthday. Oh yeah, we did go and buy him some scout pants. woohoooo...... LOL

Wednesday Jason's dad had surgery. We were told he had colon cancer. Thankfully after eight and a half hours of surgery the doctor let us know that in fact, it wasn't. It ended up being an infected diverticulum and polyp. The mass itself was the size of a tennis ball. He had to have a resection and ended up with a three for one special, the mass, his appendix and gallbladder were all removed. He is feeling okay today, although he is still pretty out of it with the amount of pain meds he is getting. The nurses got him up this morning and this evening so he can walk a little. He has a long road to recovery so please keep him in your prayers.

On a lighter note....... Ammon is still so adorable ( I'm partial). He is still sucking his thumb occasionally. I can't believe he is just starting to do this at 4 1/2 months! Most babies start this a lot sooner if they are gonna at all.














He is just so darn cute!!!!

Most of you know Jason has been training for a marathon. He had been doing really great, his mileage was up to 40 miles a week with long runs on Saturday of 15 miles. Last Thursday morning he hurt his ankle. Stepped on a rock at 5:15 in the morning on a dark and completely deserted overpass that is still under construction. It scares me to death that he could be somewhere by himself and fall in a ditch and die or get hit by a car and just have to lay there waiting for help!! I hate it!! Luckily, no death or maiming, it is just a sprain, but it has set him back. I hope by next week he will be able to start running again. Here is ankle after most of the swelling has gone down, it just has a weird bruise. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
