Memorial Weekend

This is a rock we had done for my dad a few months after he passed away.

This is the back of my dad's headstone. He hated this picture but it was the most recent one we had at the time of his passing.

This is the front of the headstone. You can't see too much of it because of all the beautiful flowers from Memorial Day.

Front of the headstone again.

This Memorial Weekend was filled with action. Friday we just worked on the yard! We are hoping to get the back patio poured this weekend so we can work on the sprinkler system and the grass. I can't wait!

Saturday I was suppose to help in the yard but Shellie, Tanner and Tenille came to the house to pick up my car to take to Utah to go see Shellie's nephew, Tyson. He returned from a mission in Washington. Well I decided to head down with them. So we went to Tai Pan and ate lots of food and partied. Those Hix's sure know how to PARTY!

Sunday Taylor, Scott, Tasi and Tyler came down and we went to church for Tyson's report and it was awesome. After church we went and ate and partied some more and then came home. It was a quick trip but so fun to see all the family.

Monday I went to visit dad's grave and take him some fresh flowers. His headstone is the most beautiful one I have ever seen. It is honestly the most unique headstone. He is buried in the Iona Cemetery. Then I took some flowers to Grandpa Morrow's grave. Then off to the golf course with Grandma, Grandpa and Jason. It was fun. I am not the best golfer but I sure make it entertaining for everyone! When Taylor got off work we went and visited the both Dad and Grandpa Morrow's graves.

We had a great weekend. It just went by way too fast.

We also are so excited to be getting a dog. My younger sister Lexie called me Monday and asked if we would like my Dad's little buddy Tate. I am super excited. We were going to get a dog as soon as we had grass but oh well. We are going to bring him home this weekend. I am sure it will be hard for Mitch, Lexie and Cole to part with him but they can come and see him whenever they want. So for now that is our expansion to our little family.

I will try to update this more often. I will get some pictures of the yard progress and post them for all of you too see. So far we just have lots and lots of dirt!!!

Update

Just thought I would post an update on the surgery.

So last Wednesday they told us to be at the hospital at 10:45, we got there, answered the same 50 questions they asked me the day before, then changed and got my IV put in. My surgery was scheduled for 12:45. They said Dr. Hall was 30 min ahead of schedule last time they checked. I was thinking WHOO HOO. Little did I know that was the WRONG INFO. So Taylor, Grams and I chatted and watched some TV. My nurse came in and said that Dr. Hall is now running behind schedule and she also asked me the same 50 questions I had already been asked two other times. We waited and waited. Finally at 2:30 they came and got me and said they were ready for me. I was a little irritated that I had to wait and hour and fourty five min longer than I was suppose to and needless to say I was starving to death. So they get me down in the holding area and again I waited another hour and a half. Around 4 they came and asked those 50 questions AGAIN. Then they gave me anesthesia and I was out.

They found some endometriosis and also an adhesion (my grandma thinks it looks like saran wrap stretched out) and they burned the endometriosis and cut off the adhesion. I have been really sore but our families have been so wonderful and made meals and brought us everything we need.

Taylor says I walk around like I am an OLD lady. I just tell him I feel like one too. I am pretty sore, I move slow. But I should be feeling pretty good by the weekend. Taylor has been great. He has helped so much. He just couldn't master the whole 'pick up after myself because Lyndsi can't right now' task. But someday he will get there! haha. :)

Oh and I wanted to just let everyone know that my brother JASON was the 4A District Champ for golf. CONGRATS. WE LOVE YOU.
