Vicky's Cancer surgeries

Second surgery on my nose - Oct. 26, 2010 to remove flap from my nose.
Vicky on October 25, just before 2nd nose surgery. Gauze filled with blood and tissue.

First cancer nose surgery on October 5, 2010 to remove cancer from end of my nose. Had to take skin from my forehead and bring it down to form a nose. Three weeks later, 2nd surgery to remove gauze pad and attach rest of skin to my nose. 3 1/2 hour surgery by Dr. Steven Chase. The cancer was removed by Dr. Bret Smith.


Kyle, Kandace, Leila and Eva on October 3, 2010 before leaving for WA. It was so fun to have them for a few days and to watch Kyle run the St. George Marathon.

Vicky. Eva, and Leila Oct. 3, 2010 at our home in St. George, UT. What adorable little twin granddaughters. I wish we lived closer so I could spend more time with them.

Babysitting in Idaho for Kali and Kevin

Kali and Vicky when they returned from Hawaii.
Kali, Devin, Drew, Jaxon, Daria, Trey and Ryker the evening they returned from Hawii with all the fun Hawaii t-shirts and hats. They had a great week in Hawaii and a much needed rest.

Vicky with the children Sunday morning before church. Ryker was not a happy boy. They children were so good for us all week. We are grateful for health and strength to be able to babysit for our children so they can get away. It helps build a bond of love and closeness with our grandchildren too.

Daria's snowman she built when we had a big snowstorm on November 8, 2010.

The kids love to play in the snow and build a snowman. Here is Drew, Jaxon, Daria and Trey.

Thursday we went boating on the Snake River.
Friday some attended the Rexburg Idaho Temple, some went golfing, some went to visit BYU Idaho, ate lunch at Criago's and went to the movie "Eclipse".
