Yuma Regional Cancer Center

All of Tyler's blood, sweat, and tears have finally paid off, as Yuma Regional Cancer Center opened its doors to patients this past Tuesday.

And yesterday, all of my blood, sweat, and tears paid off during the Grand Opening!
(Just kidding. No blood, sweat or tears on my part. I just got to help do fun stuff!)

The Grand Opening was based on recognizing the "gifts" in our lives.
 It was a neat theme to work with, and I had such a blast working with the hospitals community relations team to put this event together. To learn more about the Cancer Center, and to view a pretty sweet video they put together, click HERE )

Anywhoo, things in Yuma are coming to a close as Tyler finishes up last minute paperwork and such on the Cancer Center. 
I know I've posted a few photos before, but now that it's all finished I thought we'd take all you dedicated readers for a GRAND TOUR!

Buckle up for some really neat iPhone panoramic photos y'all.

We'll start on Level 1, the main level.
This level houses the main entry, cafe, chapel, and is used mainly for exams and the physician offices. 
 (Please ignore the maintenance cart and mop...They were cleaning while I snuck photos.)
The Kai Cafe 
The Chapel
 (no that TV is not normally there...it was used for the Grand Opening.)

And now to the Lower Level!
Lower Level houses the Linear Accelerator vault, HDR room, and the CT suite, along with oncology exam rooms and offices.

Next we have Level 2
Level two is used for chemotherapy. It houses the American Cancer Society resource center, Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, Semi-private infusion rooms, as well as the community infusion room. The laboratory and pharmacy are located on level 2 as well.

(Those blue fags aren't normally there...once again, only for the grand opening :) )


And there you have it! Tyler and his team have done an amazing job. 
I'm so proud of all the hard work Tyler has put in. He has worked many late nights to see that this project was finished in time and to the level of perfection Okland stands for. He's had to put up with more than his fair share, but he always has a good attitude and gets the job done.

I'm so lucky he's all mine! :)

4th of July

The holiday of the 4th started out the right way...
In our swim suits. 

After a morning of outside chores, 
a trip to QT,
and teaching holly to mow the lawn,
Tyler, Holly and I took a quick dip in the pool!

After some lunch and lounging, 
Holly took Chris & Hannah and Tyler & I out on a Fourth of July photo shoot!

 (hehehe! That's my husband ^)


We love the USA


Then it was party time!!
Nothing says Independence Day like some swimming and BBQ'n :)








After some delicious burgers and hotdogs, it was firework time!
Tyler picked up some fireworks and he and Chris put on a great show, including a lovely aerial display.
(I only have photos of the ground fireworks...[thank you dad for the awesome shots!]) 




And after the show we had some fun with sparklers!!
(my favorite part of the fourth....SPARKLERS!)



We love the Fourth!! 
Any holiday filled with family, food, fireworks, and fun is a good holiday in our book!
