Gettin' out of the Heat - Fall Break


Updates from the past month…sorry about the delay, our entire family got sick, I just thank God none of us contracted the H1N1 and that Trey recovered from his long sickness with out it turning into pneumonia…it lasted so long but his doctors reassured me that it takes this long and not to be worried but to keep them abreast of any changes in his symptoms.

So before all of us got sick (minus Mike, daddy, our bread winner) we were blessed to be able to spend the kids’ Fall break at Mikes’ bosses, fathers cabin in Munds Park. The boys had a blast being outside, enjoying the cool weather. While we were up North, the valley was recording record heat…lucky timing for us. The cabin was beautiful, the weather the same. Mike and I totally enjoyed ourselves getting away from “life” and kicking back in the woods with family (we invited my dad and Gloria for a few days and my mom and sister-in-law for a few).

During our stay we took a tour of Daddy’s alma madder, NAU and were lucky enough to be able to play catch in the same football stadium that Mike played on in college. The boys really got a kick out of being down on the field and I relished in the visual of Mike on the same field fast forwarded 20 plus years with his three boys, in all his glory.

Of course a perk came my way when I noticed the NAU cheerleaders practicing. You know me, I just had to ask for the girls to pose for a picture with Trey for his blog…they were more than happy to oblige.Go Lumberjacks!

Also before our family came to visit us up North, we took a ride to the Meteor Crater.

Drake and Broc were so amazed by the site and facts of the crater, Trey loved the gift shop with all the rocks and dinosaurs. It was a perfect day and although we thought we’d also make a trip to the Grand Canyon being this close, Trey’s back was just not into it…to much time in the car seat and he get’s cranky. Trey is such a delightfully good boy in that he never complains of pain. I always wonder if he hurts and if so where. Maybe one day he will let us know about the pain but for now, it’s far and few between that we ever hear a peep out of him in regards to the uncomfortableness of the car seat in relation to his kyphosis. Oh well, no Grand Canyon visit this time…we were thinking maybe we would take the train,should we go again.



















A gigantic thank you to the Humble family for allowing our family to stay in your outstanding cabin, for opening up your vacation home and your hearts to us. We can’t begin to thank you for the R&R and memories that we were able to make for our boys because of your generosity.
