Oh my golly! This has been one heck of a week. First of all we had to take my grandma back into the hospital. We actually took her in about 10 days ago, on the 9th. She was really dehydrated and weak and had gone into kidney failure. So they admitted her and started her on dialysis. Luckily the failure was due to dehydration and once they got the toxins cleared out and some fluids into her, the kidney function came back, so she will not have to be on permanent dialysis. Thank God for that. She is doing much better now, and they are talking about surgery to reverse the colostomy soon. We should find out more about that tomorrow.

Also this week, my cousin had her baby...Ryder James was born on April 16th at 940pm. He weighed 9lbs. She always has big babies. Big sisters Payton wants to take the baby and go live at grandpa's house. But she wants to leave little sister Reese at home. As Reese all she does it poke at Ryder and say "Baby, baby." They're so cute, I can't wait to see them. I keep trying to get Jessie to send the girls down here for a vist, but she won't yet.

My niece also turned one month old on Wednesday. I can't believe she's already a month old. My dad and brother went to Utah this weekend to help build a fence for my brother so they can put the dogs out so they won't bother the baby. I got a picture message of my lil brother holding the baby. He said she got fussy so he walked her around til she fell asleep! Let me tell you this is not like my lil bro at all. He usually runs from any baby under 1 year old. I guess being an uncle changes things. Thats the update for now.
