Pray for Ari

2011-01-22T15:31:00.000-08:00

Ari’s Update January 22, 2011Many of you have been asking me how Ari is doing. I apologize for the delay in responding.Travis has been in Salt has been texting me updates from the hospital in Salt Lake. I received the following text from him this morning. With his permission I am going to post it:She is still the same. Her heart has remained strong. They anticipated her heart to fail soon because of all the work to take care of the other organs not Functioning. But her heart has remained strong. My thoughts are; are we prolonging her death having her hooked up to these machines that keep her alive? But in The moment as a parent if she is willing to fight I feel like I have to make the calls to do all we can to help her live. If we disconnected her she would die very rapidly. But how do you pull the plug when she is still fighting. It reminds me of a boxer who is getting killed in the ring but told his corner man "do not throw the towel in no matter what" "I think that was actually a scene on Rocky" then he came back and won. He was willing to die trying. I believe Ari is Saying the same thing. "do not give up on me because I haven't given up on myself" but as a parent it is the hardest thing to allow to continue. But it is also The hardest thing to "say pull the plug" I guess what you do is trust God and fight right beside her and appreciate the moment that you have to fight with her Win or lose, as a parent I will look back and know that I didn't give up on her, God or myself and regardless of the outcome we will all win.It reminds me of When Kaleb Pierce showed up at our door back in Highschool in Page with blood coming down the side of his face. He had gotten himself into a fight that was going to require some help. So 4 of us showed up to literally fight 15 plus people and half those boys could bench press small vehicles. But Kaleb went out there and with Zero hesitation of reservation commenced to pick out the biggest boy and convince him he was going to eat him for lunch. I knew all 3 of us were going to have The butt whooping of our lives. Yes I said 3 because the 4th had high tailed it out the other way and left just us 3 and the 3rd guy couldn't whip himself out Of a wet paper bag (as Dad would say) But because Kaleb was willing to go out with such tenacity I had no choice but to fight with him. Well for those of you that have heard The story. You know we walked away glorious. Well now looking back I have to add "Glorious Bastards" Anyways Haley and I have remained very positive and Supportive of her through the night and Haley has been very encouraging to her. When you have such a little thing fighting so hard with so much faith, I have to Admit watching Ari fight with such faith and strength "It is easy to remain strong, positive and allowing much faith to be put into the Lord." after last night I feel extremely honored to be her father. I have never been so touched and moved by an individual’s example. I never ever would have dreamed it would be by a three year old little girl. Right now I feel no fear, no doubts, patients and full of love and hope. That doesn't mean it’s going to be sunshine and rainbows for us. and it doesn't mean the outcome is Going to be what I want but I do know that God is in control and loves us and that is enough for me. So I am just going to continue to fight right beside her and continue to trust God and endure until the answers arrive.He sent this picture and wrote, "she is peaceful"This little girl has been through so much and remains the sweetest little thing. I love her so much.

It looks like after a long hard fight my niece isn't going to make it. We are just asking for anyone who is willing to pray that she won't be scared, won't have pain, and will be happy as she continues on to her next journey. Thank you everyone for the support you have shown over the last year and a half.

Moving Cows

2010-08-09T14:26:00.001-07:00

Kris went to Antimony for the weekend with his dad to help move cows. Going to Antimony and moving cows is like Disneyland for him, so he was very excited to be able to go this year since hasn't been able to get time off work the last few years to go. He came back deciding he wanted new stir-ups for his birthday so his knees don't kill him. We missed him but were very glad he got a break to do something he enjoys.

Krew's Spiderman Cake

Nana King and Krew

Krew still loves spiderman so we had another spiderman birthday for him this year. Grandma and Grandpa King, Aunt Wendy and Darci, and Aunt Dona and Scott came. Krew was so excited for his party and cake, he asked all day if he could see his cake so I would get it out and then he would just look at it. We had to do it at night because everyone was busy until them and Krew was so patient. Kris was working until 3pm but the boys he works with had to volunteer at the special olympics rodeo so Krew and I met them there. Well it happened to be someone elses birthday and so the they sang happy birthday on the speakers. When they started singing Krew's eyes got big and he turned to me and said "Mom they're singing happy birtday to me!"

Ari's LCH Relapse

2010-01-19T00:55:00.000-08:00

On sunday I went up to visit my niece at Primary Children's Hospital. As you can see she is not doing so well. She is back in Primary Children's, they have decided to give her the highest dose of chemo they can in hopes that it will help but they say it is not looking too promising. Her face is so puffy and her stomach is bulging because all of her organs are swollen. Even with the pain medication she is in constant pain. My brother and sister in law are such great examples, they have done an amazing job keeping their spirits high for her and the rest of their kids. We love you guys so much and thank you for your great examples to everyone. Our prayers are with you.

Every Christmas Eve we read a version of the Christmas Story then we get to open a present. Of course we always know the present is a pair of pajamas but we still get excited to see what kind of pajamas we get. This year Krew was excited about his because they were Lola pajamas. Our friends have a bulldog named lola and Krew loves to wrestle with her.

Ward Christmas Party

Darci Hutchins, she was very happy to sit on Santa's lap either.

Building a Snowman

2009-12-13T18:38:00.000-08:00

For days Krew had been asking me to build a snowman with him and I kept putting it off, telling him we would later. On sunday he asked me again so I started feeling bad and told him we would after church. So after church we got dressed in our snow clothes and went outside to build a snowman. This is the help I got from him, he didn't even make it to the snow. He said he was tired and wanted to sit in the chair. He was out as soon as he sat down. Of course as soon as he woke up he asked where the snowman was, thank goodness I built it.

Krew was exhausted from all the playing

We were all looking through the black friday ads to see if there was anything worth fighting the crowds. We didn't seem to think so. We did go up and got some things but nothing worth getting up early and standing in line.

Grandma's Leaves

Krew and Scott
He loves getting in the leaves

Kris and Krew raked up grandma's leaves in the front yard and loaded them into the trailer to dump in Dona's garden. This is Krew's favorite part.

Averi, Bri, Emyly, and Kai (Bobbi's kids) and Krew.
Krew pretty much thinks this is his family.

The twins. Okay not really but they are as close to being twins as you can get without actually being twins. They are three weeks apart and they do everything together. Bobbi and I decided this is the BEST way to have twins.

We went to Provo again this year for halloween to spend it with the Framptons. Krew had a blast going trick or treating with the girls. They are pretty much his sisters or so he thinks. He is always telling me we need to go to Bobbi's house. He would be a lonely only child if it weren't for their family.

Apple Clean up!

2009-10-24T13:56:00.000-07:00

Since it was such a nice fall day a couple of days ago we decided to pick up all the apples in Grandma's back yard. It ended up being a lot more apples than I thought. We filled a huge wheel barrow, a large garbage can, and 3 buckets. Krew was hilarious to watch, he would pick up about ten apples and put them in his wagon and then try to dump them in the wheel barrow but only a couple would make it in. He finally decided just to fill his wagon up and not dump it.

Arianna's Update

2009-09-06T20:31:00.000-07:00

About 2 months ago my niece ( Travis and Haleys's youngest) started drinking a bunch of water at night, I'm talking 1-2 liter just durning sleeping hours. She would wake up several times during the night asking for water. This was obviously a concern since she was only 18 months old, so they took her into the doctors and they couldn't find anything wrong. They then decided she needed to fast for 8 hours so they could run some test. After the fast everything spiraled down hill, she wouldn't eat anything, she was very lathargic, and the only thing she wanted was her water. After many trips to the doctors and blood test they only anwser they got was " she must just be malnurished, make sure you give her formula and limit the water intake." Well they did not understand how that could of happened but they of course went a head and took the doctor advice and tried their best to get nutrients into her system. She wasn't getting any better and she ended up with a 105 degree tempature and she had needle point blood rashes all over her body. Once again they took her into the doctors. They did some more blood tests and looked at the rashes and that's when they got very concerned. They thought she might have lukemia and so they sent her immediately up to Primary Children's Hospital. She has been here for 4 days now. After lots of blood work, an MRI, a CAT scan, full body xrays, and a bi opsi the doctors have diagnosed her with LCH. It is a cancer like disease that can be very fatal. It is a lot like lukemia but it destroy's the body a lot faster. It has already attacked every organ in her body except her heart. They say once it gets to the heart there's not anything you can do but try to make her comfortable. Her liver and spleen are enlarged, her lungs fill up with water, and she is in constant pain. Last night her she stopped breathing twice and her blood plate count dropped down to 8 and it is supposed to be at 150 so they had to do an emergency blood transfusion and transfered her to ICU where she had to start chemotherapy immediately. And now we are just waiting to see if her body take to the chemo.

It just breaks my heart to see her have to go through all of this but she has been such a fighter. Everytime a nurse comes in to take her blood she gives a little whine to let you know she doesn't like it but then holds her arm out so brave. It is times like this that really make me grateful for the gospel and that I know there is a plan and purpose for everyone and that there is more to life than just this earth. Thank you everyone for all of your prayers, we will continue to pray for her and hope for the best.

We finally made it to the Northwest Trek. It's basically an open roaming zoo. It is on over 700 acres and are kept in their natural habitats. We saw Bisan, Elk, Mountain goats, Bobcat, Grizzley Bears, Black Bears, and a few others. Krew had a blast.

4th of July

2009-07-11T13:10:00.000-07:00

Our usually routine for the 4th of July every year is:

1. Get woke up before I want to by the cannons being shot off in the morning

2. Hurry and get ready to go to the parade because it's 10:25 and the parade starts at 10:30

3. Get to the parade and sit in the hot sun for 45 min before the parade starts because it never ever starts on time.

4. Enjoy the small town parade

5. Linger at mom and dads while everyone plays outdoor games and gets ready for the evenings bbq

6. Have a delicious bbq

7. Watch Bro. Slack set off fireworks with his grandkids

8. Finally gather in the backyard with blankets and chairs to watch the fireworks!

Well thats not at all how it was this year but we still had fun. We are in Washington this year and this is how it went

1. got up about 10:00 had breakfast

2. hung out with Krew just like any other day while Kris was at work

3. Kris got home we had put on a small bbq at our place and had a few guys he works with come over and then Kris lit some small fireworks with Krew.

4. THE Best part Fireworks that went on all around us for at least 2 hours. We had about 5 firework show we got to watch at once because they are legal here so everyone lights the huge ones at home. It was pretty awesome.

So even though this year was as eventful as it usually is we had fun celebrating the holiday with our small family and Krew had a blast.

Time to Shave

2009-06-23T20:45:00.000-07:00

I left Krew in the tub to play with his toys and when I came back to check on him he had Kris' shaving cream all over him and my razor. Luckily he was shaving with the back side of the razor.

Happy Father's Day

2009-06-21T19:26:00.001-07:00

Thank you Kris for being such a great father! You have created a wonderful relationship with Krew. He loves to run outside and tell you bye when you leave for work and then gets so excited when he hears you come home, he loves following you around and helping you fix things or put your tools away, AND his FAVORITE thing to do with you is of course fighting and wrestling. We love you and are grateful for everything you do for us.

A Park in Tacoma

2009-05-25T11:25:00.000-07:00

Yesterday after church Kris wanted to show us this park he found in Tacoma. It was so pretty. I thought Utah had pretty parks but they are nothing like the ones out here. It had a huge pond with tons of ducks, gorgeous flower pushes and trees everywhere, waterfalls, lots of grass, and the regulare playground. Krew of course had a blast chasing and feeding the ducks.

Krew riding his "horse"

2009-05-24T22:14:00.000-07:00

Krew was riding this all over the house saying " Wee my orse, wee" and of course he had his best friend in the back with him (his alaskan bear Vicki gave him). He takes his "baby" to bed with him every night. This was the night before he got his cast off. We are so excited to finally have it off. Yeah! He actually quickly adjusted back to walking normal.

Happy Late Birthday Krew

2009-05-18T20:17:00.000-07:00

So we finallly got around to celebrating Krew's birthday three weeks late. We actually arrived in Washington on his birthday and so we decided we would wait to celebrate until we unpacked and were more settled. And of course another day and another day kept going by but we finally did it. At least he's only 2 son he didn't even know.He was really excited when he saw spiderman on the cake.

He now pulls the cheezy smile when a camera comes out.

Kris knew exactly what I needed for mother's day. He always tries so hard to make me feel appreciated. He even included a sweet message on the gift card. Thank You!

2009-05-09T18:24:00.000-07:00

Since we finally had a nice sunny day Krew and I decided to go enjoy it. We went on a nice long walk and then found a near by park for Krew to play at. He has been such a trooper with his broken leg. He has not let it slow him one bit, still doing everything he did before. Off we go.
the swings are his favorite.

Finally a nice sunny day

2009-05-09T18:08:00.000-07:00

Only 2 more weeks of his cast
He loves showing off his broken leg

He decided to come back down the steps instead of the slide, don't know why he usually loves the slide.

Working in the fields

2009-03-31T16:41:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago Krew was outside helping Kris work in the horse fields and I was in my bedroom when I looked out the window to see this...

Kris was pulling Krew around the fields in this old bath tub behind the jeep. Krew was loving every minute of it. He was just sitting back with his arms up chillin.

Draper Temple Open House

2009-03-31T16:33:00.000-07:00

I am really late at adding this post but I figure I still needed to add it for later. A few weeks ago Kris, Krew, and I went to the Draper Temple Open House. We took my niece Brooke, her boyfriend Colton, and her friend Ashley ( who is taking the missionary discussions). They were all really impressed and had a great time.

Krew helping with the laundry

2009-03-31T16:27:00.000-07:00

Everytime I start the washer I can expect Krew to be there in seconds. It doesn't matter what he is doing once he hears the washer he starts grabbing the clothes from the basket and putting them in the washer. I don't know why he loves it so much but he does.

Bye Bye Mom

2009-02-22T21:37:00.000-08:00

I was sitting on the couch using the laptop and Krew kept coming over and trying to touch it. So of course I kept telling him no and shooing him away. Well then he comes over and starts pulling my hand trying to get me up and say "bye bye mom" so I thought he wanted my to take him somewhere. I get up and follow him and he stops, gets behind me and pushes me forward, waves bye, and again says " bye bye mom" So I take a couple of steps more before I turn around to see him running to the laptop. He kept doing this routine over and over. I swear his mind never stops. I would of loved to have it on video.

Weekend in St. George

2009-02-20T20:12:00.000-08:00

Everyone at the condo except Travis, Brian, Jake, & Jeremy
All the sisters: Kim, Jaymi, Bobbi, Vicki, Liz, & DonaKrew wrestling with Taylor

Krew and I were glad to go down to St. George this past weekend. It was nice to enjoy a little bit warmer weather and Krew loved playing with so many cousins. We all had great time visiting and relaxing as much as we could with 14 little kids running around playing. The best part was having all my sisters there and three of the four brothers even though we didn't see much of Brian and Jake.

King Christmas Party

2008-12-22T13:35:00.000-08:00

Krew got a Dance Cam from great grandpa King.

I think this was Creed's that Krew decided he wanted to ride all night. And no I don't dress Krew in pink shoes, he took one of the girls shoes.

We went to Fayette for the King christmas party on Saturday. Everyone had so much fun. Krew loved having so many other kids around to play with. Some of the games got a little wild, I came home with a couple of bruises on my leg from " do you love your neighbor ". Who knew that was such a violent game.

Krew is just like his dad

2008-11-07T15:56:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we were all in the living room, I was on the computer, Kris was watching tv and Krew was in between us laying on the floor playing with two cars. All of a sudden Krew started whinning so I looked down to see what was wrong and everything seemed fine. He continued to whine so I looked again and asked what's the matter. Both cars were flipped over and he was pointing towards them. I thought my goodness can't you turn them over yourself as I was flipping them back over. Well that wasn't the problem so I looked again, this time he was scooting backwards and still pointing. That's when I noticed a little spider on the floor. Kris smashed it and Krew stood up and did his scared action. I guess he's as frightened of spiders as his dad is.

Helping dad with the Leaves

2008-11-06T14:36:00.000-08:00

This is Krew helping Kris clean up the leaves in the front yard. I thought it was kind of gross but he didn't seem to mind at all!

Krew and Dancing with the Stars...

2008-10-28T19:21:00.000-07:00

I had to get a picture of this because those of you that have been around Krew know how much he loves music and dancing. I am watching Dancing with the Stars and Krew is totally intrigued by it. He has been laying there watching it and then when they start dancing he gets up and dances with them. I always tease Kris and tell him that Krews going to be a ballroom dancer instead of a wrestler.

Pumpkin Carving

2008-10-27T13:09:00.000-07:00

Friday night Kris and Krew decided to carve one of our pumkins. Krew had a blast playing in the goo. I 'm suprised he kept everything in the bowel and didn't make a mess. We might work on the other pumpkins tonight.

Wood Cutting

2008-10-20T09:39:00.000-07:00

Krew was playing with grandpa on his truck, riding up and down and playing with the tools.

We were back in Mt. Pleasant again this weekend. Kris went hunting friday and saturday and Krew and I hung out with mom. Late saturday afternoon when dad got into town and Kris got done hunting we met Dona and her family up the mountain to help them get the last little bit of wood. Krew of course had a blast but I think he had the most fun driving down the mountain. Dad let him sit on his lap and steer. After about the first five minutes Krew decided he didn't need dad's help and he would push dad's hands off the steerings wheel because he wanted to do it himself.

Weekend in Mt. Pleasant again

2008-10-13T13:45:00.001-07:00

We went down to Mt. Pleasant again this weekend. Kris went and helped his parents cut wood while Krew and I hung out with mom and Brian. It was so cold we had to bundle up in our winter coats to go outside. I am not ready for the cold weather yet.

Today the sun came out so Krew got to go play with the horses. He loves petting and kissing them but he's not too thrilled with sitting on them yet. He would love living with grandma and grandpa so he could play with animals all day long.

Conference Weekend

2008-10-06T18:19:00.000-07:00

We had such a great weekend. It was probably one of our most relaxing. We went down to Mt. Pleasant friday night. Krew and I stayed the night with mom and Kris went up Fairview Canyon with some friends to go hunting.

Me, mom, Dona, Corey, and Krew watched the Emma Smith Story. Well we tried to watch it but Krew got bored 2 minutes into it and decided to distract everyone so it was hard to hear. I wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. Mom said that's because of Krew but I disagree.

Saturday morning Dona cooked a delicious breakfast for us and we watched the first half of Conference at her house. Once again it was hard to hear because Krew was wrestling with Scott most the time. The second half we watched at mom's house. Kris got home from hunting that night soaked and muddy from the lovely rain we had.

Sunday was much like saturday... Dona cooked another great breakfast, watched the first half of conference at Dona's and then headed over to Fairview to visit Kris' family. They cooked a miniture thanksgiving dinner that was delious and then watched the last half of conference.

I love being able to go home and visit. The best part is Krew has so many other people to play with besides me so it kind of gives me a break. Not that I don't love playing with him but he is always on the go and wants me to be also. So that was our weekend.

Krew fixing the lawn mower

2008-09-25T14:22:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Kris was going outsided to mow the lawn and of course Krew insisted on going with him. They had been outside for a while and I realized I hadn't heard the lawn mowere going so I went out to see what they were doing. This is what I found. Kris was in the shed getting some more tools and Krew was fixing the lawn mower. Don't worry Kris had already taken the blade off, he was actually getting ready to sharpen it. Krew loves playing with Kris' tools

Enjoying the last days of summer

Since summer is winding down we decided to take advantage of the nice weather. We went and picked up lunch at KFC and walk to the Duck Pond again and had little picnic. The weather was perfect. After we ate Krew played on the swings (which is his favorite) and went down the slides. It's always so hard to get him out of the swings. But the best part of the day was feeding the ducks. They came right up to us, usually they run away. They almost snatched the biscuit right out of Krew's hand. It was a very relaxing day. I love living so close to the river trail. It sure makes it fun to go walking.

Krew loves music...

Dad was listening to his ipod and Krew wanted it.

Once again he found Kamron's ipod in his room.

We just spent the weekend in

This is Krew helping Kris mow our backyard. He loves being outside so much. The first thing he does every morning after he gets up is point the front door and wine.

Happy Birthday Krew!

It's been almost a week since Krew's 1st birthday and I am just barely getting these pictures posted. Vicki and Jaden were staying with us for the past week because Jaden was having cranial treatments done in Bountiful and so I was busy hanging out with them and didn't make time to update my blog. So anyways here are some pictures of Krew's birthday last sunday, April 27th. We didn't do much just had some family over for cake since he won't be able to remember it. The guests included Uncle Taylor and Aunt Tanya, Aunt Vicki and Jaden, Aunt Bobbi, Emyly, Averi, and Bri, and Grandma and Grandpa King and Uncle Kamron.

Fishing trip gone bad!

2008-04-23T18:00:00.000-07:00

Well Kris got home a little early from work today so we decided to go fishing on the paddle boat since it was nice outside. So we gathered everything together and headed down to Utah Lake in dad's red truck but half way there we ran out of gas. Kris jumped out and pushed us around the corner and then went and got gas. Then we headed back home to switch to our truck. After we unloaded the paddle boat and all of the other things from one truck to the next we were head back to lake for a relaxing evening fishing. So we get to utah lake unload the paddle boat and everything else and start paddling. We paddled over to the first bouyi where we stopped so Kris could bait his fishing pole. We were only about 40 ft from shore and had been on the lake for about 5 minutes when we see a fish cop pull up next to our truck and wave us over. When we got to shore she told us we had to have life jackets and gave us a ticket. She said even if you're on a raft you have to a life jacket. So needless to say it wasn't the fishing trip we planned on.

Easter Day

We spent Easter in Mt. Pleasant this year. Kris had to go back to Provo early sunday because he had to work but Krew and I stayed until Monday. We had lots of fun playing with grandma and grandpa and everyone else that was here.

Easter

We spent easter in Mt. Pleasant. Dona made sure to leave a couple of eggs for Krew to dye but he was more interested in all the eggs that were already dyed.

Duck Pond

2008-03-23T15:03:00.000-07:00

Last week we Kris and I took Krew on a walk down the Provo River trail to the duck pond. He loved it. But we forgot to bring bread so Krew shared his goldfish crackers with the ducks. Then we let him swing for a while. He wouldn't get out though. I stuck my arms out to get him and he just laughed and held on to the swing.

Cool Dude

We finally got to spend some time outside without freezing. Krew loved it. Everytime someone opens the door to go outside he stops what he's doing and crawls as fast as he can to the door. The sad thing is he never makes it fast enough. So he was way excited to actually play outside. It felt nice out but it was only 5o degrees, which was nice compared to what it has been.

I can't keep up!

2008-03-09T17:07:00.000-07:00

I don't know why I even try to clean, Krew makes messes faster than I can clean them up. He pulls all the dvd's off the shelf and is on his way to the next thing to mess up. But as soon as I decide to clean up his mess he's back again. I try to tell him no and slap his hand but he just looks at me and smiles or laughs. And to think I only have one kid.

Weekend in St. George

2008-03-06T19:12:00.000-08:00

We went to St. George last weekend for Olivia's baby blessing. We were so excited to finally be able to enjoy some warm weather! Well that didn't happen, the sun was out and bright but it definately wasn't warm. Krew had so much fun playing with his cousins even though they all were girls. He really liked baby Olivia ( he's definately a King ).

Krew got off the bed by himself for the first time today. Kris, Krew, and I were laying in bed this morning watching the Handy Manny and Krew always crawls to the end of the bed when the tv is on and we have to grab him. But this time when he got to the end he turned around and slid off.
