June 17th - Chemotherapy #32

It was Peyton's last treatment for 2 weeks! Peyton actually felt up to going to a Rockies game on Friday night. Landon and I stayed back but Charlie and Peyton had a wonderful time. Landon has a hard time sitting still for that long. Understandably so, he's only 2 (almost!!) Anyway, a couple of weekends at home sounds so exciting! The next set of treatments will include an MRI and an eye exam so it'll be a busy month ahead. We are all enjoying our summer though! We have been having picnics outside, play time at the park, and going to gymnastics. Peyton will do swimming lessons in July and hopefully we'll take a much needed vacation toward the end of July. Life is good and I'm blessed to be a "stay at home mom" for a few months. I love it!

June 10th - Chemotherapy Treatment #31

Well Peyton is doing great with all his different nurses lately. I don't think we've had the same nurse 2 weeks in row since Amy left. We still miss her though! He did have to tell Miss Aubrey last week when she asked him if he wanted a band aid that "he's not impressed with band aids!!" We all got a good laugh out of that one! I'm pretty sure that ALL the nurses now know that Peyton doesn't like band aids....even if there's blood.....no band aids! He's been doing great! I guess you can adjust when you have to. He just goes with the flow. I hope it continues to go this smoothly! He was really tired this week and slept all through treatment. That makes the time go by quickly! When he woke up Aunt Jodi had stopped by the hospital to say hello. That always makes for a nice surprise. He was happy to see her! We then went to pick up Landon at Leroy and Darlene's and as usual had a wonderful dinner with them. One more week to go and then a little break! Whew hoooo!!

June 3rd - Chemotherapy Treatment #30

This was a super fast weekend. We drove to Denver on Friday morning. Then immediately after Peyton's treatment we drove back to Colorado Springs, spent the night and got up early the next morning and headed home. Charlie had some things to do with work and so it made for a fast trip. We missed our weekly dinner with Leroy and Darlene! :( The kids enjoyed a bit of swimming at the hotel though, and Peyton was really excited about that!! Awwww......life's simple pleasures (well for a 5 year old I guess!)...

May 27th - Chemotherapy Treatment #29

Besides Peyton being a little sick during treatment and after, on Friday, this was a great weekend! We got to spend some time with Aunt Jodi and Aunt Dana! Always a wonderful time...we love the fact that Dana, Nick and Tyler are moving back to Colorado in June. Peyton was feeling better by Saturday afternoon so we all headed out to watch the Rockies game. What a beautiful evening! And to top it all off.....it's summer break!
