Fackrell Family Reunion

It's that time of year again!!! Yep, time for the Fackrell Family Reunion. We have so much fun every year. We always go to Mt. View Whyoming, and have lots of fun with family. This year we changed it up a bit and instead of camping in tents, we stayed in a Cabin/Lodge. Here is a short run down of some of the activities.

The first evening we were there we went to the Relay for Life Ceremony. It is done for the American Cancer Society. My Cousin decorated these bags that have little tea lights in them for Sharon Guymon ( my birth mother who died from Breast Cancer) and Gladys Fackrell (My Grandmother that died from Breast Cancer). It made me break down in tears to remember these two beautiful women.

On one of the evenings we went swimming. We always rent out the swimming pool and have lots of fun.

On Saturday a lot of people went tubing. I didn't do it this year. But, it has always been a fun thing to do.

Karlie was Miss Curiosity. She was hard to keep track of. We would take our eyes off of her for a second and she would be gone.

Crystal and Kaitlin had to pose anytime a picture was taken of them. Crystal had so much fun playing with her cousins. She idolizes them.

Karlies favorite part was playing in the dirt. She was so dirty each day!!!!

Crystal just had to pose again!!!!

Swimming Lessons

Both of the girls did swimming lessons for two weeks at the Payson City Pool. They had so much fun. Charles did the Parent and me with Karlie.

Oh!!! What a few Crazy months!!!! Continued.......

A week after my surgery, Charlie lost his job. His boss told him that he had lied abou tme being in the hospital and that nothing had actually happened to me. That next weekend my dad was released from the Rehabilitation Unit and we drove to Roosevelt. We went for my nephew Kaden's Baptism. Here are a few pictures while we were there.

A week after that Kaitlin and Stephanie (my nieces) came to stay with us to help with the girls. We pretty much went swimming everyday and had a lot of fun. They were a big help. They went back home and Stephanie came back to our house while the rest of her familly went on Trek. Stephanie and Crystal are so funny together.

Well, a week ago my dad had a surgery on his prostate. Now everything works!!! Sharon came up Sunday to pick him up and they left this morning. Karlie screamed and cried when he left. They have really gotten to enjoy each others company. It is sad to see him go, but he needed to get back home. We love you Grandpa!!!

Oh! What a few Crazy months!!

So I decided that I should finally update my blog. We have had so much going on that I just have not had the time to post. So, here it all is in a nutshell. Durring Memorial day weekend I had some really severe abdominal pain. I was at Shannon's dropping Crystal off so she could spend time with her cousins. So I just waited until I got home to deal with it. When I got home Charles saw how much pain I was in and we called Charlies sister to watch Karlie, because she was in bed and we went into the ER. We waited in the waiting room for three hours until we finally got in and waited another hour to see the Doctor. By this time it was about 400 AM. I then had a bunch of tests and was found to have a couple of large Hemorrhagic Ovarian Cysts. The Gynecologist was nervous that they were cutting off the blood supply to the Ovaries, so it was decided that I needed to go to surgery. When they got in there they found that one of them had burst and was bleeding out, while the other one was fine. So they drained the blood and cauterized it to get the bleeding stopped. I was in the hospital for another day and then I came home.

A few days after I was home my dad came up to see the orthopedic doctor. He had done something to his knee. When he was done with his appointment he came back to my house and told us that he was getting a knee replacement the next day. So they stayed the night and he went in for surgery. He was kept in the hospital because of problems with his waterworks. On Sunday Shannon came over for dinner and brought a yummy chocolate desert. We all loved it, especially Karlie!!
