MRI Update

Well yesterday was my 8th MRI and the results came back as a mixed bag. First of all, there are no new lesions, which is always a concern, so that's good. Secondly, the tumor hasn't grown, so that's also a good sign. Third, the tumor has not changed at all..not even a tiny bit, since 2 months ago, so now we have to decide where to go from here. My swelling also looks identical--filling about 1/4 of the brain--even though I'm on steroids..so thats concerning.

For now Scott and I are considering what our options are and discussing with the Dr. where to go from here. I'm still not sure what to make of everything, but once we do make a decision on what the next step is we'll update the blog!!

Thanks for all the continued love and support!
Love, Scott and Heidi

The fun of Kindergarten

Dallyn was so excited to bring home this paper last week. He learned about D! =)

He has proudly organized our fridge with all this daily alphabet papers and he adds new ones every day!

Here's the cute boy himself...playing the my race for the cure bracelets!!

Little Details...

I love the little details that make me smile....Friday I got a new handle for my great garbage can that Scott built me. I didn't like the one we had put on (just found it in the garage) because the sheen wasn't right. So I found this one at the store and I love it!! I'm so easy to please sometimes!!

Team Cafe Rio

Here we are hanging out waiting for Dave to finish the 26 mile bike....Scott's done with his leg of the race, which was a one mile swim and Lee is waiting for his leg of the race which is the 10 K run.

Here's the Team after the race...they think they are pretty awesome as Team Cafe Rio and they did a great job!! Their team had the third fastest time overall and they were the fastest relay team by far. If you look at the race stats on an individual basis, they each placed 4th in their sport out of 400 participants! So Scott was the 4th fastest swimmer, Dave 4th fastest in biking and Lee in running. Aren't they awesome?? That was fun, now till the next race which they are already planning....and by the way...Scott has a Cafe Rio shirt on order!!!

Scott's Race

Saturday Scott competed in the Bear Lake Triathlon in the swimming event. Here we are before the race...

Scott's Mom and some cousins came out to support Scott...

Here's our Dad coming out of the water at the end of his race...

The Finish Line...

What in the world?

We were driving past Bear Lake towards Wyoming and all of a sudden this is what we see as we come around the curve...what in the world???

New Wainscotting!

Ok, I've had the painting jitters lately! I can't paint the flat walls well so I'm waiting for my painter who has been busy for about a month now! He has 3 rooms to do for us once he gets a chance to paint...the first thing will be the kitchen ceiling and then the kitchen walls!! But, you can see meanwhile I got antsy and decided to test my Lemongrass color on the walls. Sure enough..its too close to the color of the wainscoting in the kitchen!!

So, today I went to the paint store and ordered some paint 2-3 shades darker on the same color scale. I took a chance, hoping I would like it and I LOVE IT!!! I'm so burned out on painting (it doesn't take much) but I LOVE the color!

The new green color has so much personality and its such a rich color, I just really like it!! Now once the upper walls are Lemongrass it'll really be great!!!

It makes all the white really pop now that the walls are a darker green! Not bad for an afternoon...I'm thinking I may do the wainscoting in my laundry room too...I have plenty of left over paint.....Hmm.. =)
