The beautiful fall colors

So, we went out yesterday on part of the nebo loop. It was so pretty we decided to take some pictures. It was so pretty and the girls had so much fun. We decided we would use a couple ones of Karlie for her one year pictures. The only bad part is I can't decide. We got some really cute pictures of Crystal also.

A week full of trials

Well, a lot has happened since last Friday. I have been having gallbladder problems, so on Friday after I was dealing with all of the pain and vomiting. The doctor that I work with sent me down to the ER. I got down to the ER and was checking in when I got a call from my sister that my brother David had stopped breathing and they were trying to resusitate him in the ambulance on the way to the ER in Jordan Valley. So, I called Charlie, since he was already on his way up to help me in Provo and we went up to Jordan Valley Hospital. He was in a coma and had the ventilator totally breathing for him. They were cooling him down and the chances were not very good. After they got him up to the ER, Charlie and I went to Provo and checked in at the ER there. I was so dehydrated that they couldn't get an IV in me. They tried more than 15 times with numerous nurses and finally got an IV in my neck. They then admitted me to ghte hopital at 100 AM on Saturday. They were very busy that day with surgeries, so they didn't take me for mine until 700 PM. That got done and I was released on Sunday evening. Then with David on Monday they did an EEG to see if he had any brain function. I got a call early Monday afternoon to find out that the only brain function he had was seizure activity. So I immediately called Charles and we drove up there. After I had a chance to talk to him they unplugged all of the machines. He passed away about 15 minutes after that. He is now in a much better place with our mother. We are going to have his funeral on Friday in Salt Lake City.
