New Adventure!

Today was one of the most bittersweet days of my life. After being employed at Simmons for just about 10 years I have decided that it was time to be a stay at home mom. I am so glad that Rodrigo has moved up at Simmons throughout the years and is making it possible for this to happen. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I have made so many friends and have worked with so many great people it was hard to say goodbye today. I didn't think I was going to be so emotional but having such a great boss and co-workers I will say that I will miss them dearly. I don't know how to be a stay at home mom. It will be so fun to finally get to know who my kids are during the day. If any of you have any kind of advice for me I would love to hear it. I am also looking at fun things to do and ways to save dinero (money). I know some of you have sent me websites on coupons ect. Please share. Also, I think I need to make a trip up to good old Burton Lane to get some tips on cooking hamburger, and folding laundry, decorating my house for every holiday. There are some amazing moms that live on that street. So here is to the new adventure of my life, a full time mommy.

Jeff Update

Yesterday my Dad was able to have surgery (hopefully the last)to get his Dialysis Catheter out of his stomach. The surgery was about 1 hour long. The surgery went well the Dr said. He is now tube free. He says he feels great! He has been amazing and looks unbelievable. He says he feels so proud because he is able to play with the grand kids. That is something he hasn't been able to do for years. He is planning on going back to work on the 20th of December. I am sure they are ready for him to come back but I am not sure he is ready. He sure is enjoying being home. We feel so blessed to be able to have him around for the Holidays. Thanksgiving was wonderful, we didn't think he would be around for it but because of answered prayers and a family and person who decided to give a stranger another chance at life he is here enjoying every breath. We are so grateful for all of you. I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live and they answer prayers. I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life.

We have a guest!

Rodrigos cousin Claudia has come to stay with us from Mexico to help watch the kids. I am so grateful for her strength and courage to come all the way to Utah to be with us. The kids adore her and so do I. It is going to be a huge help for Rodrigo and I while we are at work. We hope that she enjoys being with us and enjoys all the adventures yet to come.

Gavin Cody Naylor

Gavin was born today at 8:30 AM weighing 6 pounds 12 ounces and is 20 inches long. Mom and baby are doing wonderful and Daddy is very very proud. Aubrey is very excited to be a big sister. They have a new rule at the hospital that no kids under the age of 12 are aloud to go visit so my kids are anxiously waiting to go meet there new cousin. Congratulations!

Jeff Update!

Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted an update on my dad. He is doing wonderful. He had the best clinic ever last week. He was released to go places. So basically he can go out in public and see people as long as they are not sick. If someone is coughing by him he needs to get away and make sure that he is washing his hands often. His numbers look awesome. He feels great. He is down to going to labs only 2 times a week now instead of 3. He gets to make an appointment to get his Dialysis Catheter out of his stomach. This will be the last thing thing that he has to be tube free. He is on a very strict diet. My mom is really helping and making sure that he is eating the right things. He is down 30 pounds. I meant to take an updated picutre but forgot. I will be sure to post one soon.

A shout out to my mom!

I just wanted to dedicate a post to my amazing mother. She has been the most amazing person through this adventure with my dad. She is the # 1 care giver and is taking care of my dad 100%. I am so grateful for her and her unconditional love she shows to my family every day. She puts everything a side in her life to make sure that her family is o.k. She is truly amazing, driving my dad down to Murray every other day for labs, fitting work in when she can, making sure that her kids and grand kids have what they need, taking care of the tasks at her home, making sure my dad has the proper food for his diet, she has been so strong through this whole process and has been going strong. She is simply amazing and I love her so much. Without her I don't know where I would be today. I am sure my dad would say the same thing.
Mom we love you and thank you for all you do, we truly appreciate you. You have always put everyone before yourself, you have such a Christlike love that people can see. I hope soon things will calm down and you can sit down and put your feet up for a few minutes. I couldn't of gotten through all of this without you. You have made sure that we stay positive about every issue that has happened. Thank You!

Our Visit

On Sunday my mom called and invited us to come out and visit for a little bit. The kids were finally better and I felt pretty good about taking them to visit. When we arrived the kids were so excited we haven't been up to my moms for about a month. My dad wore a mask while we were there to take extra precaution. Maya didn't recognize him at first but as soon as he talked she knew that it was her grandpa. She was so happy she ran right over and wanted to tackle him but we had to stop her because my dads not quite up to that yet. He looked wonderful. Rodrigo was able to give him a haircut and he looked as good as new. I love my dad so much and am so proud of him for fighting so hard.
He went back to clinic yesterday for his therapy and things and his blood pressure dropped so low that they had to stop what they were doing and wait for 2 hours for it to slowly go up. My mom and dad were both afraid that they would re admit him to the hospital but they didn't. Prayers answered again! If you notice in the pictures he has an awesome shirt on. Recycle Life!
