Disneyland


Kolby at her favorite place in Disneyland.....the castle!

After a while Kolby's legs got really tired.
She shared the stroller with Bentley. One of
the workers told Kolby she was too big for
the stroller...but Jeff set them straight by telling
them she had cancer. He shut them right up! We tried
to get her an electrical wheelchair but she had to be
18 to ride it. She was too embarrassed to get a
wheelchair. She she walked as much as she could.

The Family in front of Disneyland.
Jeff, Kylie and Bentley Burr (Sister, Bro. in law, & nephew)
Kolby, Kristi (her sister) and the Mom and Dad!
Kolby couldn't believe that her folks had to
use this type of phone when they were a
teenager...instead of cell phones!

Kolby after riding Soaring Over California! Her dad's
favorite ride.

Kolby's future job.....especially the way this economy is going!
Kolby is having a great time at Disneyland despite the rain!

    kolby....i have the strangest story for you. My name is taylor and i live in logan, ut and sent you a letter a little while back. Last week i went to disneyland with my family and as i was walking out (the pouring rain was getting on all of our nerves) you and your family were walking in. im 99% sure it was you. i saw you under the tunnel to the left of the mickey flowers at the entrance. You were sitting in the stroller with the baby in your lap which is why i noticed. his big poofy yellow jacket reminded me of the christmas story and the whole "i cant put my arms down" bit. I did not realize it was you or i would have said hello but just now i saw that picture of you two in the stoller and was blown away by the fact that our lives randomly crossed paths like that.

    Wow...Taylor, I do not know if you will read this, but that is pretty amazing that you say me and my family. Thank you so much for that letter. You are so sweet and I have it in my scrapbook. You will forever be apart of my recovery with your kindness and generosity. Thank you for taking the time and writing me and for reading my blog and commenting. That is so cool, I really wish we could have met. Keep in touch!

A little note from me, Kolby.

I want thank Kristi and Kylie for designing these T-Shirts. At first I didn't want my name on the shirt. I really do not like having the attention on me. But, after I saw them I really liked them. Thank you Kristi and Kylie. Also, thank you so much Vicki and Dale for making the t-shirts, you did a great job. I just love them. Thank you!!! This has been really hard on me. I wish I felt better and I want my healthy body back. I miss hanging out with my friends and doing the things I like. I also do not like it when I feel sick. The blisters in my throat and mouth are gone right now, but when I take chemo again I know they will come back. It has been nice feeling good these last few days. I haven't had to have chemo this week because of the scans. It is such a good feeling to feel good again. I never really appreciated my healthy body till now. The chemo makes me feel horrible. I have no energy. I feel nauseous all the time and I get horrible headaches. They hurt so bad. I get s...

Keeping Kolby

Kolby’s website was originally named so appropriately by Sarah Barlow, one of our family’s closest friends. I think that more than anything it describes this strong selfish desire we have… not to lose our daughter in this battle with NHL cancer. Today we won another round in that fight. We got some results back from the cancer center today that had a lot of positive in it. Kolby’s new MRI and PET scans indicated that the cancer is on the retreat. Her tumors have reduced in size significantly as seen in the MRI photos, and the cancer cell activity has also dropped significantly. This is a good indication that the chemotherapy treatment is having a positive effect on her bone lesions and tumors. She still has mild patchy areas of disease on her sternum, anterior right first rib, anterior left 5th rib, in her lower vertebrate, and in her pelvic area. These areas still lit up on the PET scan, but the activity was greatly reduced. There was one area on her on her right first rib that has mi...

ONE YEAR CANCER FREE!!!

I am beyond blessed! I finally hit my one year mark on May 22, 2012. After going through chemo for a year and waiting for the those cancer cells to be gone, I have been free from it for a whole year! I cant even begin to tell everyone how excited i am! For my one year, I did some of my favorite things. I went to lunch with Kylie at Panda Express, Outback for dinner with my dad and Gabby and then went and got ice cream at Baskin Robbins! :))
