Drawing by Isis color by Nick and Jasmine

to Nick & Jasmine from Pat

Hi , I got to tell our Relief Society about Isis and Phoenix. I don't know everyone in the Ward yet so I was surprised that right after the meeting a sister came up to me and quietly pressed some money in my hand. I didn't know who she was so had to ask someone (she slipped away before I could talk to her) I realized she wanted to remain anonymous...but I found out her name...when I got home I looked at what I thought was a small bill and discovered she had given me a 100 dollar bill. What an awesome experience! People are so generous! How close to $10,000 are you? Love, Mom

to Pat from Jasmine

That is so generous! We are close to $2400 now. Isis was in hospital for three days last week - we really need this machine! His left lung wasn't filling with air because he couldn't remove the mucus plugs by himself (because of his inadequate cough). We caught it early and physio helped a lot. With the cough assist, he wouldn't have needed to go to hospital. Thank you to everyone for being amazingly giving and generous! Jasmine

Judy & Pat @ play

We had fun dressing up and taking the photos. I had more fun editing the photos. All were taken in our front yard except the "you dare defy me!"...it was taken across the street at the church.

A visit from my Sister

Judy has been with me for a week and we have had great fun! I will be sad to have her leave. I love making memories with her!

Jean and Molly brought some new spirit to the games. We had two great bean bag games we've never had at the games before. FUN! FUN! FUN!

Can You Help My Grandchildren?

This is a real person, real disease, and real plea for help. Not only is Isis in need of the cough assist but so is his sister Phoenix. Click on www.nickbarfuss.com/hero or http://rigidspine.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html to find out more.

Memorial Days Games-Sports Event

(once again...clik on the photo for a larger view) Sally & Andy were in charge of the sports event...they timed each person as they ran trying to keep the ball between their knees. Lots of fun. Mabel was the cutest to watch. Luke, Sally and Andy had the shortest time and therefore came in 1st place in the event.
