Update and some great pictures.

We have had an eventful and busy summer. Since I last reported I had another MRI that thankfully showed no growth in the new tumor. The Doctor didn't change my treatment. They will do another MRI in a couple of months and see if there are any changes.
Emily and her kids came and visited us in June. While here we celebrated Isaac's birthday, Owens (Nate's 2 yr old) birthday and generally had a good time. We  also celebrated Tyson's (Tommy's 2 yr old) birthday in June. We spent a few day in St George with the Randall clan. Emily's husband Matt surprised us and came out for the last week of her visit.
After Emily left my 3 brothers came.  Its the first time we have all been together since my Dad passed away in 2000.  They helped me out with my yard work and spent a lot of time catching up on old times. I appreciate their help and their love.  I have good brothers!
We look forward to having a few more experiences this summer.  I have sure appreciated the love of my family and friends who have treated me so well.  I am doing quite well, a little tired from all the fun activities, but will hopefully rest up this week.  Life is good.  All is well.
