Crazy times and Valentines

We have had some crazy events over the past couple weeks...Todd ended up in surgery 4 times to get rid of blood clots and fix his collar bone (i.e. re-break it from the break he had about 5 years ago because it didn't heal correctly and they think that's what was causing the clots) and giving us a good scare. From spending nights in the ICU and orthopedic wing to me spending about 40 minutes in LA (he had come home from the hospital and I thought he was ok so I went on my work trip only to land and get a text that he was going back in...so I flew right back on the same plane) to the kids and me getting a stomach bug...we are worn out, but thankfully on the mend. I could never thank Todd's mom enough for all of her help at the house and we can't thank all of our family/friends enough for the calls/texts/prayer/dinners/ect. Now we are just praying for a speedy/full recovery for Todd and that life can get back to "normal".
In the ICU the first time he went in...all I could think is "He's my best friend and our everything"...times like these definitely remind you about what is truly important

Pretty flowers from Todd's work

The first time he got out...the kids were so excited to pick him up

He was able to walk out this time...next time they wheeled him out

Hugs and cards for Daddy

We went for a yummy lunch too

My little heart breaker on his way to his Vday School Party

I volunteered at Kayla's party & Bodie came with me

Vday games


My attempt at a V-day breakfast after an exhausting week

My brother offered to stay with us for awhile to help out while Todd's recovering

Checking out the V-day goodies

Feb. 14th is also Sadie's b-day and we always take her to pick out a treat

Happy 8th B-day Sadie Bear

McKayla sent me this pic while I was at the hospital...they had fun with Grandma

Todd was able to stand for a few minutes to watch Kayla in gymnastics
