Our 4 year cancer-versary


My sweet little Kristoffer celebrated his 4 year cancer diagnosis anniversary yesterday. He is oblivious to how serious his condition was. This is how our conversation went yesterday...

Me: Do you know what today is?
Kristoffer: Monday
Me: 4 years ago today you were diagnosed with cancer and we were so sad because we didn't know if you were going to live or not.
Kristoffer: Well I did!
Me: Okie dokie!

He has also said that he doesn't like cancer cause it's soooo boring. I could think of 100 other words to describe cancer but to a little boy it was very boring.

We are grateful that he doesn't remember much of his ordeal. I think I remember enough for both of us. So thankful that we have been allowed more time with this peanut!!!

Still Alive...

It has been so long since I have posted anything on this blog. Life has been very crazy. Our school district started having problems with the school board. I don't really have much to say about this except that...the school board President is a crazy racist and we felt like he should not be in charge of our children, so we did something a little crazy...WE MOVED!!! I still am shocked we went thru with it. We bleed purple and we absolutely love Kirtland but we prayed about it and decided our children would benefit from a move to a different school district. So we rented our home out and bought a home in a neighboring town. Overall the move has been good. Very busy. It's probably been hardest on Katelynn as she has missed her friends terribly. She is still dating Easten and he will go on his mission on Feb. 27th to Chile. That will be very hard for my daughter but it will go by quickly. Kristoffer had more tests run in October that all came back normal. Next week it will be 4 years since diagnosis and I can't believe the child the doctors said wouldn't see his 6th birthday will turn 10 in March. He is a miracle!! I'm going to have to back track on the pictures so here are the pictures from Ashley and Connor's birthdays...

And the pictures from the kids 1st day of school...
