Picking up Deacon from school equals lots of fun converstations.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays Papa and I get Deacon from school. #LuckyGrandpa #LuckyGrandma 

Deacon: Today our counselor talked to us about our private parts! I was like what the heck! What is happening!?! It was so disgusting! I wanted to throw up! 

I love these times we get to spend with him. He brings so much joy into our lives. I love coming home and fixing him fried eggs and toast with out the ends.

GRANDCHILDREN FILL A PLACE IN YOUR HEART YOU DIDN'T KNOW WAS EMPTY.

She reads... I listen.

I LOVE IT WHEN SHE SHARES HER BOOKS WITH ME.

A MOTHER'S TREASURE IS HER DAUGHTER.

Snowboarding for Anson

This cute boy is on his way to Pomerelle Mountain Resort to do some night snowboarding. We're so blessed to live so close to the mountain. #HeIsSoCute #MommasLasagna

The mountains are calling... I must go.

Side by side or miles apart, sisters will always be connected by the heart.

Thank you Heavenly Father and thank you for our cell phones with cameras so that we can capture these moments so conveniently. "There's no place like home except grandma's." #snowday

Choose The Right from Grace

CTR

Yesterday that we went to church with Richie and his family, Miss Grace sat right next to me. 
She made this and gave it to me. 
Our grandchildren are such an incredible blessing to us! 

In a world where our grandchildren will be facing temptations and pressures that we never encountered, especially in this media-driven culture it makes my heart happy that they have been given incredible parents. Parents who love them so much and are teaching them the Lord's teachings.

I pray that my grandchildren will come to realize how much God loves them: That God will always be there for them, and they will accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and spend eternity with Him.

Thank you for the reminder to choose the right Grace!
 I love you!

Children are the rainbow of life.

 Grandchildren are the pot of gold.

Logan weekend and sledding with ELKS

Dad and Grandpa Vosco went to see a USU basketball game. Giselle and the rest of us went to go see the elk. We invited Richie, Chrislynn, and the children but Richie was worried about getting to the canyon with so much snow.

It was so beautiful!

This year they had over 700 elk.

Thanks for dinner Anson!

We went to church with Richie and his family then we went to Richie's house and Chrislynn fixed us a nice lunch before we went home.

Anson... you are loved

Can you say

 That's my boy!

Beautiful view

My favorite window after a snowfall.

AND SINCE WE'VE NO PLACE TO GO...

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW.

Snow!

JANUARY 7, 2017

We hadn't seen this much snow in Burley for quite a while.

JANUARY 8,2017 

Loren Smith, a good friend and Dick's former student came and shoveled snow. That was so nice of him since Dick wasn't feeling that great after chemo week.

Dick and I kept shoveling after he left. We couldn't keep up with the snow. Dick has a snowblower but it hasn't been running well and he hasn't been feeling good enough to fix it.

Loren came again to help clear the sidewalks. This time with a snowblower. This guy will do anything for my husband. After he was done, he helped Dick work on our snowblower. He gave it a tune-up and got it running again.
 We are ready for the next snow storm.

GOOD FRIENDS ARE LIKE THE STARS. 

YOU DON'T ALWAYS SEE THEM BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE.

HIS VERY LAST CYCLE... #15

JANUARY 1, 2017

RICHIE, CHRISLYNN, AND THE CHILDREN RETURNED HOME ON THE 1ST AND SHORTLY AFTER, WE DROVE TO SLC FOR DICK'S LAST CYCLE. WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD OR WHEN DICK'S APPOINTMENTS START SO EARLY, WE PREFER TO LEAVE THE NIGHT BEFORE. GISELLE MET US IN BRIGHAM FOR DINNER AND A BIG HUG.

 I AM SO GLAD WE ARRIVED THE NIGHT BEFORE BECAUSE WE WOKE UP TO A LOT OF SNOW.

JANUARY 2ND

After we received the great news last visit, Dick decided to do one more cycle. 2 cycles ago, he was thinking that there was no way that he could even do one more. With the good news of no tumors seen on the CT Scan, he found strength to do one more.

He was worried that a tumor might be hiding.

We love this nurse! She is so knowledgeable.

Dick shared with her some concerns that he's been experiencing. After he visited with her and the Physician's Assistant, they thought it would be best for Dick to visit with the social worker. Dick expressed to them that he was feeling a lot of guilt for beating cancer. He told them that he felt bad for all the other patients that have passed on with his same cancer and also different cancers. He's been feeling like why him and not the others. Apparently so many patients feel this way. They call it survivor's remorse. The social worker told him that he has been fighting a huge battle for so long and all of a sudden that battle is over. She said there are different stages patients go through like anger, denial, depression, and bargaining before they experience the acceptance stage. Dick has been so positive throughout all of this journey that he never experienced those stages. He never was angry about it. In a way, him staying positive helped him survive what not everyone can but also, he skipped all the other important stages that help him deal with the final outcome. She thanked him for being so kind to all of the nurses throughout his cancer journey and for always treating everyone with so much respect. She encouraged him to go to a support group and to talk to patients that are going through cancer and chemo. She gave him so many wonderful ideas but especially explained to him why he was feeling that way.

I was so glad I could listen to what the social worker had to say because it helped me understand him better.

SLC has lots of snow!

JANUARY 3RD

Happy Birthday sweetheart!

I took him upstairs for dinner so that he wouldn't be stuck in his hospital room.

JANUARY 4TH

I got this scarf from Dick for Valentine's Day.

JANUARY 5TH

It was crazy slick coming up the hill for his last appointment with the Cardiologist. The cardiologist told us that Dick's echo looked great. The heart valves looked good and it was pumping great. He felt good that the chemo didn't hurt his heart.

 GREAT WORKS ARE PERFORMED NOT BY STRENGTH BUT BY PERSEVERANCE.
