40 years..Congrats!

Papa & Mimi just had their 40 year wedding anniversary & to help them celebrate we all spent the weekend at the Point Hilton @ Squaw Peak in Phoenix. What an amazing accomplishment & example they have set before us! This was a great weekend of games, swimming & family fun! Friday night after a great first night at the pool we ordered pizza in & played Gestures & Rummey. We all had so much fun but of course my "gestures" were the best! I swear I should've been an actress...









Saturday we were off to the pool to enjoy the slide, waterfalls & lazy river! The Torres Family (Uncle Gabe, Aunt Julie, Sammuel & Lisa) and the Falberg Family (Uncle Rod, Aunt Lilly & Nathan) came out to enjoy the day too. Unfortunately daddy couldn't get his shift covered so he couldn't attend the big dinner that night. We all went around the table & paid our tribute to Papa & Mimi. After the yummy dinner Papa & Mimi treated us all to Dairy Queen. YUMMY! Sunday was more fun, goofy golfing & hanging out by the pool. Noah had to go down the slide at least 10 times each day we were there & didn't get scared at all. He was so brave. Andrew & Bella couldn't get enough of the Lazy River. That actually surprises me due to the fact that you actually relax on that. Maggie just enjoyed getting out of the hot sun & playing in the water. We all played a game of volleyball in the pool & as always, daddy kicked butt!

Let's hope this works








Today Maggie had to get the Deflux procedure. Because of her kidney reflux Maggie has been on antibiotics since she was born. At a year old they did a VCUG (insert dye into bladder) to see if the reflux corrected itself & unfortunately it didn't. For this procedure they had to put Maggie out & went in w/ a scope to insert a paste to try & fix the problem. We thought the procedure would take an hour & they were out in literally like 20 minutes. Grandma Mary, Uncle Noel & Heather were there to show their support. Dr Argueso said everything went really well & all we have to do is wait. Maggie did great & woke up happy. We all were even able to go get something to eat in the cafeteria. Pretty quick & easy!





We will do another VCUG in 3 months & if it doesn't work we will have to do the full kindey surgery. I've heard that it is extremely painful & will require weeks of recovery. Here's hoping!
