Other happening last week...

 
Last Saturday was also the stockshow.  Erika, Daniel and Kaitlyn did very well showing their sheep.  They all got blue ribbons in showmanship and their lambs got blue ribbons!!  
It was our Stake Conference also.  Cole's first mission President was the presiding authority during our stake conference.  It was nice to meet Elder Terry and his wife.  Cole and Taleena were able to have dinner with them and the Stake Presidency Saturday night.  Conference was excellent!

Cole and Taleena were able to spend the week here with us because it was Cole's week off from chemotherapy.  They mostly relaxed, spent time with family and friends, and recuperated.  Cole is doing very well.  The nurses have commented that most people don't do as well with chemo as Cole has so far.  He has had side affects but nothing that has kept him down for too long.  He surprised us all when he and Andrew decided to take a bike ride down from Brianhead.  His comment about this ride was "I may be sick but I'm still going to live!".  I thought , Good for You!, so on Friday I drove Cole and Taleena, Duke and Daniel, and Andrew and Holly Christensen to the trailhead, dropped them off  then picked them up 2 hours later at the "old camping spot" at the bottom.  They all made it with not too many bruises.  Cole's leg gave out a few times but he never wrecked!  He did have one mishap, his left foot, mostly his toe got caught between his peddle and a rock.  The left side is his numb side but his foot is extremely sensitive because the nerve endings are crazy.  His toe is black and blue and he'll loose the toenail for sure.  But they had a good time and enjoyed the ride.
