Seattle Seahawks Training Camp

On the 17th of August my sister got Ty and I Seahawk VIP Traning camp tickets. We were so excited!:) When we got there, we got to go right down by the field and sit and watch practice. We also got free food and drinks. It was a beautiful day and Ty and I loved being so close to the training action. After training ended, Ty and I were able to get a bunch of autographs. I was even able to meet Pete Carroll and get a picture with him. It was so cool for sports teams like us!!!!!!:) Thanks sissy for a fun time!:)

Utah for a few days

Issy and I headed last week to Utah for a couple days. My grandpa turned 80 and they were having a surprise birthday celebration for him. We went down for that and then Issy and I headed up to Salt Lake City to spend time with our good friends the Richards. They moved from our ward back to Utah and while they lived here we became close. It was so fun for Issy and I to spend a couple days with them and feel really grateful for their friendship. We also got to meet up with our friend Mary and her daughter Katie for lunch as well. They have been such great friends in our life and we were happy to be able to stop and see them. Issy and I wished Ty could of joined us thought but he had to stay and work. It was fun to take Issy around Temple Square as well and show her BYU and some other fun sights of Utah. Fun times!:)

Old Friends

This last weekend Tys buds from growing up Blake and Chad were in town. Growing up there was Blake, Chad and Matt. The 4 of them did everything together. Now that two live in Utah and one of us here and the other one in Vancouver seeing each other often comes less and less frequent. So even thought Ty had treatment a few days before he couldn't pass up the opportunity to hang out with his buds. We were able to all get together at a park to let all our kiddos play and then went to dinner. It was fun to all catch up again and have some fun! Thanks Ungurens and Hadleys. We sure do love you guys!:)

Tys Update

Here is the email I sent around about Tys last scans and doctor appointment last week.:)

Hello all our family and friends,

So on Friday we went into see Tys doctor again on Friday as another follow up appointment. Ty had scans a week ago again. On Friday we found out that his main Tumor in the Rectom is stable and small still. His liver spots all went down in size by 1 to 2 mm which is awesome in a month. We were very happy to hear this. So, Tys doctor has a new plan for Ty and his treatments.

He will be going in to do one more Chemo treatment this week on Wednesday. Then he will have about a month off. On August 16th we are going into UW Medical and Ty is going to be doing this liver procedure. It is called Sir Spheres. Basically it is a more directed treatment to Tys liver to get rid of the cancer that has spread there. We are very happy to have this opportunity for Ty to be able to do this. He is a small discription of what this is, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIR-Spheres. This treatment will most likely be done in the month of September. After we get through this process, Tys doctor will scan him again probably around the beginning of October. If things look good and it looks like this worked, Tys doctor would like to give Ty 6 to 12 weeks off from any treatments. Ty was so thrilled to hear this.

We are so grateful that Ty is doing better. It has been a long year for us and we know that through these trials blessing will come. We believe that and we know it. We have faith in our Heavenly Father that he will continue to bless Ty and our family. We appreciate again all your prayers, fasting and love that continues to come our way. We have the best support in the whole world. We feel that support and love on a daily basis.

Thank you again for everything!

Much love,
Ty, Rach and Issy:)
