HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!! We’ve had a good week this week. The weather was awesome and it was just a good week.
Jolene had a good week. She has been sleeping A TON and has been having problems with constipation. So she’s uncomfortable a lot with that but she’s keeping all her food down, eating very well, etc so in that way it has been a good week. She tries to take walks every day, and on Saturday we were able to go to Grandma Davidson’s for a small BBQ for Mother’s Day. It was nice for her to get out of the house and see family but it wiped her out so she was unable to go to church. Her energy level continues to be low but she’s doing what she can to try to get it up!
Ron also had a good week. He was able to stay at home with his good wife and take care of her. He is proving to be an exceptionally good nurse. On Saturday he changed the oil in Jamie and tightened the bolt that’s holding Dora’s engine up. There is only 19 more days left of school for Marie which means there are only about 19 more days left of Dora. He is ready to be done with her. She has been an incredible car that served its purpose well. But her time with the Davidson family is just about over.
Savanna had it nice this week because Steven, Sheree, and Emmry were all out of town so she didn’t have to nanny. She went on a hike with her friend to some waterfalls in one of the canyons around here. She also took Marie to the Cheesecake Factory for her birthday, and to celebrate the ending of Marie’s AP US History test! Then she had work at the MTC on Saturday.
Marie’s highlight this week was when the AP US History test was over. Now that it’s over Marie’s pretty excited. On Saturday she had her first Mamaci practice for this year. It was good and she’s excited to start playing lacrosse again.
Jolene, Savanna, and Marie were all sad that they were not able to run Race for the Cure on Saturday but they appreciated those Bingham Lacrosse girls who ran in ‘Celebration of’ Jolene Davidson. Thanks for that, it was great. We’d also like to thank those who have brought us food, came by to visit, have been praying for us, and sending their kind words. It is ALL appreciated very very much. Thanks for the continued support every day and for the thoughts and prayers in our behalf. Through the Lord, we are all going to get through this trial. Thanks again!

Happy Mother's Day Jolene. We've sure been thinking and praying for you often. I was reading back thru your blog entries. I loved the account of your triathlon. Especially the biking part of it. You were on Marie's bike and it wasn't quite as speedy as the other participants thousand dollar bikes, yet you pedaled so hard. Probably harder than your competitors. You made it. I thought how this cancer trial is much like the biking part of the triathlon you did. Your body is not able to do everything you would like it to because of the cancer, yet your dominant spirit is pushing so hard to keep it going. That is the core you. Sure love ya and hope you are having peaceful days. Siri
Happy Mother's Day! It was great talking to you yesterday. Hopefully your plumbing will start working. Tony says Penzoil works wonders. So sad to hear about Dora. Hopefully, she will find a kind and loving home. Yay Marie! 19 more days of school! Heather has you beat . . . she has 8 days until she is done. Yay Savanna, time off! Although no work, no pay. Bummer! We love you all very much!
Happy Mother's Day and happy belated Teacher Appreciation! We are so grateful to know such AWESOME teachers, and for your family to have influenced our family in such a positive way. Our thoughts and prayers are with your incredible family! Love, Aaron Tran and family
