Granny

I know this post is going to be out of order, but for memories sack I have to do this right now.

Today my Mom called me to let me know that my Granny (mom's mom) was diagnosed with Colon Cancer, stage 4. She was later today taken into surgery to take out some of the huge mass in her colon and to see where else it was or had spread to. It spread alright. To her liver (which means its everywhere) for sure her outer walls of her stomach and some in her lung.

When I heard the news, I kinda didn't realize right away how bad it was, my Granny is pretty dang tough she can handle it. Wrong. Plan and Simple. Its going to be a long road ahead for her or really short. I don't know if she is going to do chemo yet because the Cancer Doc (don't know the correct term for that doc) hadn't yet come in to talk to her about chances and all that of doing chemo.

But I like to take a few min of everyone who may read this your time.

My Granny taught me how to LOVE, she taught me how I want to be when I am a grandma, How to have a relationship with her children (even if she worries to much about the weather:) She never missed a big event in my brothers or I life. All growing up I can remember her being there with my grandpa of course at Christmas time. Granny and I use to get up in the middle of the night on Christmas eve and sit and look at how pretty the tree was all lite up and the presents, it looked so beautiful! She taught me to keep a journal. She was always there for me. She went to the Temple as often as she could. And she NEVER EVER judged me for getting married Civilly, quite Frankly the look on her and my Grandpa's face when they saw me all dressed up and beautified for my wedding it was like all the dreams and hopes for me came true. She unexpectedly made random visits to my house when we lived in Snowflake I wasn't always prepared for her to stop by but in the end I was always happy I got to visit with her.

She is such an example to me, I love her so much and hope that she is proud of me and the choices I have made in life. I want nothing more then for her to get healthy again and be happy. She truly is one of a kind. And I will always be SO grateful for the example she has shown me over the years.

Granny if you happen to be able to read this or have this read to you, Your one of my Hero's. Get Better soon.

I love you, Heather

Private Again.

Were going private again. A friend of mine just told me a story about why she put her blog to private and it sick/wrong and everything above.

So I have all your info saved but if for some reason you can't get on to my blog let me know on FB or my e-mail.

I'm going back to private on Monday. After that I will update.

Thanks, Heather

Anjane`

I just wanted to let Anjane` know that she and her family are in our prayers now more than ever as she is getting ready to go into another Surgery.

I have only meet Anjane` one time but her husband Lincoln and Terry are friends/family. The Aunts as we call them have all adopted Terry into the Willis Clan of cousins.

Anjane` is seriously one of the sweetest people I know and she has been thru so much in her life that I wish I could take away some of it for her. The first time I meet her I felt like I was meeting a celebrity because I Have been wanting to meet her for so long, the spirit radiates off of her. She truly is one of a kind and I feel honored to call her a friend.

Love you Anjane` and we will be praying for you that every thing goes good tomorrow as well as with the recovery:)

Update on the Lee's

We haven't really been up to anything to crazy this past couple weeks.

Titan how now figured out how to climb out of his crib, so as of last week he is in a big boy bed! The same week he figured out just how easy it is to open doors. Just my luck, right? He is so tall and is very good with putting things together and knows where they are supposed to go when we ask to throw something away or put it back. We sure do love him even though he makes us crazy sometimes.:)

Terry has been working a lot and starts his first day of his last semester of school! heck ya we both can't wait!He loves his new Jeep Laredo he got and just went on a hunting trip with his good friend from Snowflake.

As for me I have just been trying to motivate myself to clean my house top to bottom and organize the heck out of it, but its not coming as easy as I wish it would. I have made some really good friends here and we try to get together every so often and head to the park where the kids can play and us women can talk it up! At the end of the month I get to fly up to Utah to see one of my good Friend and can't wait for that. Jami and I both have little boys so hopefully they will get along great and no fighting.

Well that's all for now, I will try to get pictures up of Titan big boy bed soon. Hope each and everyone of my reader:) have a great day.

Chistmas 2009 (better late then never, right?)

Our Christmas this year was awesome! We started out December by decorating and making a gingerbread train. One of my favorite things about Christmas is driving all over where ever we are living at the time and look at Christmas lights, Its tradition in the my family growing up and we wanted to have this be a tradition in our little family.

We also went to our ward Christmas party, I love our new ward we always feel so welcome and loved. We had an amazing breakfast for dinner that night and Titan got to go see Santa, actually I should say Terry forced him to sit on his lap so we could get a picture(see below) all in all it was a fun night.

We then headed down to St.David kinda last min for Christmas, We thought Terry was going to work but since he had a extra day of PTO saved up we headed down, I always love to go down there for Christmas because it just feel so normal and Christmas-y! Titan was spoiled this year by both his Grandpa and Grandma Lewis. He got tons of books, and a tool set from Terry and I as well as G&G Lewis. And a puzzle and train and other little things.

Terry and I went easy on Christmas this year because we decided to spend a overnight in Tucson since we hadn't gone on a date since we moved to Morenci. We were also spoiled by my parents. THANKS!

While we were down there I got sick but other than that we had a good Christmas and came home to a box full of goodies from G&G Lee and Auntie Zonnie.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Bless you all:)

Thanksgiving 2009

Our Thanksgiving this year was GREAT!

We started out the week by having my Amazing and Sweet cousin Amanda come and stay with us, she was able to be to be with us for the whole week and it was defiantly a much needed visit on both our parts. Sadly we forgot to take any pictures. Amanda I guess you will just have to come down again:)

Than on Wednesday night my parents and brothers came up, it was fun to visit and watch Titan with Grandma and Grandpa Lewis. Thursday Terry was off to work bright and early and while he was there he had his first Thanksgiving of the day! He said the guys at work fried 2 Turkeys and they had all the fixings. My Mom and I spent most of the day slowly getting pies baked, Turkey cooking, and everything else done. We all sat down for dinner around 5 and it was so good. I really do love my being around my Mom and watching and learning from her while she cooks. It was a great couple of days. Again no Pictures:(

A big thanks to Amanda for being such a sport and helping with Titan so I had a little time to myself, he sure did take to her and cried when she left this morning.

Hope all our Family and Friends had a great Thanksgiving, now on to CHRISTMAS.

This are a few recent pictures of Titan, enjoy.

I can't help but think he has a cute bum!
