This last week has been a crazy mad house for us. Last Sunday Rays dad had a heart attack. We got the call about 3 pm and were told they were life flighting him to Provo.. So we loaded the kids in the van and headed down to Provo. I guess the storm was bad in Roosevelt, so they had to go around the storm to get him down to Provo... Eventually he made it around 8:00 Sunday evening... We stayed there until about 11 or so to make sure he was alright and to see what the doctors had to say. It turned out the he had 3 arteries that we clogged. One at 90% and 2 at 70%. They decided to stint the artery that was at 90% clogged and will stint the other 2 in the next couple months.. So gladly to say he is doing good. Just week and tired trying to get his heart strong again. I guess some tissue was damaged so he will have a recovery ahead of him.. He is doing good and we are so blessed that everything went well and he is okay..
They released Rays dad on Wensday so we went and picked him up. The roads home were closed so they stayed with us the rest of the week. We took them home on Friday after Ray got off work. We stayed at Rays parents Friday night and headed home Saturday morning.. I enjoyed having Rays parents here, but I am sure glad to have my house back. The kids really enjoyed having grandma nd grandpa here as well. It was really nice to be able to spend time with his parents and get to know them better. Even though we have been married almost 4 years( 4 years in June) we have rarely spent alot of time with his parents. It was really nice to actually enjoy my in-laws as well. It was good for the kids to get to know them as well and enjoy their comapny too..
After a heart attack, everyone realises that life is short and to enjoy it while you are here. It was really interesting to see how everyone changed their way if thinking and now all everyone wants to do is spend time with each other before its too late.. I was really blessed to have the opportunity to spend time with them. Too bad it had to take smething like that to make it happen..
On a more happy note,we decided to take a big step into puppy ownership!!! Onemore baby to tend to... But I love her as well. We bought us a 7 week old chocolate lab purebreed... She is so cute and very good with the kids. We had to get one so that Ray will have a hunting companian for duck hunting.. Payton loves her a little too much and I hope that she will survive his brutality!!!!! We named her Gracie and she is just too cute.. I hope that she doesn't drive me crazy, but I am sure that she will.. Abriee doen't really care for Gracie and when Gracie walks in the room Abriee starts crying. It is actually kinda funny... Hopefully she will get over it soon!!!!
There is somethig wrong with our computer and it won't let me put pictures on so when we get that figured out I will get some pictures of the puppy and some cute ones of Abriee and Payton..

Sorry to hear about Ray's dad, I can't really imagine how horrible that is to deal with, but I do know how you start to realize things when they hit close to home. Check out my post on Cengenital heart disease...
Anyway, I'm glad that you all got to spend some quality time together, And happy that yougot a new puppy. This will be better than the last because she will grow with the kids, it'll be fun to see how Gracie protects the little ones!
Hope you all are doing well!
