March 14th never forget

Brian almost died March 14th. I am so over emotional! I am so grateful that I found him when I did and took the actions quickly yet calmly to get the help he needed. He had been working on his truck and the transmission came apart and while Brian was under the truck it started to roll down our driveway. Brings body was in the way and literally he stopped the truck from rolling into the street more than it did. Our front door happened to be open and I heard a crash and him yell. Well with Brian that's not an uncommon thing but something told me to book it outside and I found him unresponsive under the truck stuff up under the drivers side. Rayle happened to follow me out and I told him to run to get Jesse Brown our neighbor two doors down. I ran and got my phone and dialed 911. From the time I found him and the paramedics arriving took less than 10 minutes. They pulled him out from under the truck and loaded him up. I didn't know what I would find t the hospital. I got the kids loaded and headed for my moms house to drop off the kids. I kept Nolan with me since I was not prepared and didn't have any bottles ready. Candy met me at moms and she drove me and Nolan to Scottsdale Osborn hospital. This hospital is known to be a great trauma hospital. When we got there and got to see Brian we learned that he had to have a ventilator as he was struggling to breath while in the ambulance. X-Rays also showed he had 8 broken ribs, a broken sternum and left clavicle. His lungs were also bruised. He was sedated and was on the ventilator from r 24 hours. He was finally able to show he could breath on his own and that was a great day. Brian doesn't remember a whole lot of Sunday and Monday. Tuesday the 17th he had surgery to repair his clavicle. He now is the proud owner of a melt plate and some screws! Brian was released from the hospital on Friday 20th. We are happy he is home but it will be a long road to recovery. I am just glad that Heavenly Father didn't choose now to take him from us. Jesse Brown gave him a blessing while under the truck. He also got a blessing from our Bishop while in the ER and the night before his surgery. 

We have had lots help and prayers on our behalf and I know they have all been felt and appreciated! 

Out of surgery! 

Ouch! 

Home and starting to heal! 

Daddy

Each week seems to zoom by and we try and soak up the time Daddy is home. This schedule is tough but we sure do appreciate all the work Brian does for us each week! I am so grateful for my husband and all that he does. Since I was let go I have kind of freaked about not having enough. It's been tight for sure, but we are getting by. Brian wants to just see how we do for a couple of months and then make a choice. I am glad to be home doing the most important job there is a mother and a wife. Glad to be home. Ashlyn just loves her daddy!!! Thanks honey for all the hours you put in each week and providing for us all! 

JUNE 12th

June 12th my honey turned 29. One more year, and it's all down hill from there! j/k! This year I felt really bad because well we have no money. What could I do for Brian? Well about a week before I got a call from my sister. She said, hey you guys want to go to a D-back game? I was like sure, since we only went to a spring training game this year. So the game was for Friday, June 12th. I asked Brian if he wanted to go to the game for his birthday. He said that was cool and it would be fun. Brian's aunt offered to watch Teagan and Rayle, and they spent the night there too. That was so nice! For dinner we hit Alice Coopers. They have really good food! Well the tickets we had were AWESOME. We were five rows behind home base just to the right between the plate and visitors dugout. The net stopped like the seat next to us, and thankfully there were no crazy foul balls we had to deal with. It was a GREAT game. There were at least 5 broken bats, and I think 3 home runs. The D-backs brought a win of 8-1. After the game there were fireworks. Baby... was going crazy as they were going off. That was kind of fun to feel. After we went back to my sister's and played Guestures. Candy and I played against Brian and Candy's friend Brett. However the boys could not keep up with us!! Brian, I hope you enjoyed your birthday a little. I know that this year has not been the greatest for us so far, but it can't last forever. Next year will be better, even if I have to sell an organ or something, we will do something BIG!!!!

Here are some snaps from the game, also I did not zoom in on some of these:
