Benefit Concert Update...

You are going to most likely be seeing a lot about this benefit concert. It is going to be great and I hope that everyone will try to come out. We are excited to have Brooke come and do this for Nat and would love to show as much support as possible.
If you would like to purchase tickets you can do so through North Ogden City during regular business hours. On Saturday July 17 (today) from 12:00-3:00 my sister Kristen and her husband Adam will be selling tickets and Lee's Market in North Ogden. I will also be selling tickets so you can purchase them through me if you would like. If you purchase tickets over the phone or through the mail, there will be a Will Call the night of the concert. There is also going to be a button on Natalie's blog that you can purchase tickets online. (click here for her blog)
If you cannot make it to the concert, but would still like to donate money you can mail a donation to America First Credit Union PO Box 9199, Ogden UT 84409. The account is "Natalie Jolley's Last Wish". If you write a check make it out to that account name.

Benefit concert

I want to start spreading the word. There is going to be a benefit concert for my sister Natalie on August 6 at Barker Park in North Ogden. Brooke White (former contestant on American Idol) is coming to perform. Tickets will be $10.00 and all proceeds go to Natalie. We are excited for this to happen. My mom will have more information by the end of the week. We would like the word to get out to everyone. They are going to put information on Facebook and Brooke also has Twitter. My mom has set up a blog for Nat that tells her story for anyone that wants to read it. Just go here. Please spread the word. As my mom gets information, I will pass it along.

Fourth of July weekend

This last weekend was wonderful for the most part. On Thursday I went and saw Eclipse with my mom and 2 sisters. It was fun to be able to spend that time with them. Friday was such a good and very emotional day. We were able to go to the Temple with Nat. She decided to go through the Mount Timpanogos Temple. It is a beautiful temple and I was so glad to be there with her and share this wonderful experience with her. It was very symbolic and very neat. I love her so much and I know that this time with her on this earth is coming to an end very soon, but the joy I feel knowing that I will see her again is incredible.
Sunday we blessed Braylon. It was a wonderful day. We had our family here and everything turned out great.
Tally's cousin and his wife and little girl flew in Wednesday night from Canada. I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with them because I was busy with other stuff, but it was really fun to meet them.
On monday morning Braylon woke up at 3:30 crying. His cry sounded like a seal barking. It was not a good sound. We took him to the ER. He was diagnosed with croupe. The nurse we had in the ER said she had worked there for 16 years and never seen croupe in a baby as young as Braylon. (This happened on his 2 month mark) They decided to keep him because he was so little. We spent all of Monday in the hospital and then they decided to monitor him overnight. It was hard because he just wanted to be held and didn't want me to sit down. So I stood a lot and rocked him. Poor little guy still has a cough, but he is doing so much better. I am so grateful for the power of the priesthood and that Tally could give him a blessing. I love this gospel and have been able to witness so many miracles.

Memorial Weekend

This last weekend my family went up to a house at Bear Lake and were able to spend some time as a family. It was a lot of fun. We had 4 wheelers and Colsten had so much fun riding on them. He begged every day to go out for a ride. We also had a Luau which was fun. We played Rock Band/Guitar Hero and had a good time. Yesterday we went and watched Natalie and Tyler go skydiving. It is something Nat has wanted to do for a very long time and it is one of the things on her bucket list. It was neat to watch her fulfill that wish and be able to cross that off. She is so sweet and I love her smile and her postive attitude. I love my family!

2 Weeks Old

Braylon is now 4 weeks old, but my mom came over at his 2 week mark and took his pictures and some of Colsten and some family pictures. I think they turned out great. I am grateful for such a wonderful mom and that she is willing to share her talent with us.

Introducing...

Braylon Lamar Thomas. Born May 5, 2010. He weighed 7lbs 3 oz and was 19 in. We are so glad that he is here. He came 10 days early. My water started leaking tuesday night around 8. He was born early Wednesday morning. The delivery was fast and so much easier than Colsten's was. I am so grateful to have this sweet spirit here. Heavenly Father has certainly blessed me with my little family. I love them all.
