A Heart of Gold...New Batteries Included!

This past summer, Grandpa Gus had his pacemaker "fired-up!" He had been hearing a "beeping sound" for QUITE a while and he discovered it was his pacemaker trying to tell him the "batteries are low!" He was able to get in to everything shaped up again!
We all hate being "the patient" but Dad takes the cake at not wanting to. It is great to see how he gives the medical and auxiliary personnel a run for their money; he loves to keep them on their toes! We came to give him our love and support as we love him and are so proud of him doing what he needs to do/taking his health matters into his own hands! It has been approx. 20 years (help me Mom with the dates:) since his heart attacks and bypass surgery. It makes me so sad to think that he lost HIS Dad when he was in high school from a sudden heart attack! I am so grateful he has been a fighter and been here for my whole life as well as our kids! We may all have some unlucky genetics, but we have the best family in the world!
Everything went well! My sister Jennie is BFF's with the cardiologist and his family (in their ward), so he had to give us the courtesy picture on the way out:)! He was very nice.
Kennedy giving Grandpa her best! Even though we know he doesn't want to babysit "any dang last one" of his precious grand kids:)...we know he loves us all with all of his heart! I have a feeling that love will "keep firing" for a lot of years to come with all those new wires and batteries!
After leaving Ogden, we had to stop by Matt & Kimi's to see their home makeover! They are such a darling couple and we love their energy, creativity, youth, and HUMOR!
Kimi passed on a cute little purse to Kenz as the letter fit! Thanks Aunt Kimi! We were also able to pick up a few of Kimi's things to sell at our upcoming garage sale! Here's to a wonderful family!
