Chris had Surgery

Sorry this picture might gross some of you out! Chris had surgery on Thurs. 8/28 to remove a 5cm diameter from where he had melanoma. He had two weeks off to recover and is doing great now. He is cancer-free right now, however the Oncologist is concerned with the chance of reoccurance, so Chris is going to go through an Interferon treatment which will be a month of treatments at the Doctor's office and then shots 3x a week for a year. This treatment will hopefully prevent the chance of a reoccurance of melanoma. We are so grateful for family and friends that supported us during this trial in our lives. We love our family and this was defiently a trial that has brought us closer as husband and wife and as a family. A trial like this opens your eyes to what is important in life and makes you realize what you need to change in your life to be more Christlike. I am grateful for the gospel in my life and how it has made facing difficult challenges like this a little bit easier. We love all of you.

Jack Johnson Concert

I took Chris to a Jack Johnson concert for his Birthday on 8/20 at the Columbia Meadows Ampitheatre in St. Helens. It was awesome!!! The Ampitheatre is a big open field and it's first come seating. We got a really good spot for getting there an hour before Jack came on stage. Then towards the end everyone started leaving so we got to stand closer. It was a great concert!

1st Haircut

Carson's 1st haircut was not a good experience! He looks happy before Chris took the clippers to his head and Carson freaked out!!! I had to hold him down while Chris cut his hair. We were only able to get the back cut so for awhile he had "George McFly" hair-(long on top).
