Week of June 11, 2012

Monday we didn't do a whole lot. I was able to get a walk in with Addy before Jaren went off to work. Us girls played in the playhouse outside, fertilized the garden, picked some tomatoes and watched some tv. After Jaren got home we had planned an outing to Dairy Queen, but once we got there, Hailey announced she didn't have any shoes on! So, we didn't want to look like hillbillys so we hit the drive through instead. The girls enjoyed their ice cream and then had fun running through the sprinklers. After that it was early bedtime.....YES!!! Tuesday us girls went to the Riparian and walked around for a bit. We saw ducks, turtles and rabbits. After that it was so hot we decided to go to the splash pad and play. Addy is finally starting to like the water. She was so cute and kept trying to step on the fountains. Before we left we walked through the Disney store and the girls got matching pj's with Merida from the movie Brave, which Hailey cannot wait to see. Wednesday was visiting Nana & Papa and gymnastics. Hailey has a little friend named Aundrea in gymnastics that she just LOVES! It's fun to watch them together! Thursday the girls went to Nana & Papas while I got groceries for Pinedale. Friday we went to Pinedale. We had planned on coming home on Sunday, but Papa was in the hospital so we came home early. We thought Papa had fallen last week, because he was being forgetful, and just not himself. It took a while for him to be convinced to go to the hospital. Finally he went, and the doctors said he had a stroke. We were in shock because the day he fell, paramedics came and said he didn't have a stroke. We wanted him to go into the hospital that day, but he didn't want to for whatever reason. It's so hard for us to see him like this. The doctors said it affected the personality section of his brain. I guess there is a chance he could get it back, but maybe never. Seeing him like this makes me really want to cherish life, and make all the little moments last forever. Sunday was father's day and he got to come home from the hospital, but it just wasn't the same as other Father's Days. Sunday evening we went over to Jim and Gwens house for ice cream and swimming. The kids ate lots of sugar, but then ran around and wore themselves out. The girls both went to bed right away when we got home. I am looking forward to getting some things done around the house next week, and eating better. I ate HORRIBLE this week.
