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!

Father's Day

Today was a great day for our family. Kolby went to church. It was a challenge , but it was really important for Kolby to go to church today with her dad. She got up, got ready and she looked beautiful. I really wish I would have taken pictures of the girls with their dad, but we were in such a hurry to get off to church that I forgot. Next time I will for sure. She was pretty emotional at church. It was a lot for her to get ready and go to church for the first time in a while. She wanted to arrive a few minutes late, and leave a few minutes early. It is really hard for Kolby to see people, only because of all the different emotions she is feeling right now. She gets very emotional when people hug her and express their love and support. She loves it, but right now, she cries every time she has a new visitor or sees people. So, please do not get offended if Kolby is quiet when you see her or visit with her. It's just how she is right now, and that's ok . Everyone deals wit...

A Very Generous Gift!

Brinley Truman, an eight year old girl in our ward and a dear friend of our family over heard her parents discussing Kolby and their desire to make a donation to "Keeping Kolby." Brinley asked her parents, Tom and Taralee, what they were talking about and Taralee explained to Brinley that they were going to donate money to the Cramptons because they wanted to show them that they love them and also because all the medicines and procedures that Kolby has to have cost a lot of money. Brinley told her parents that she wanted to give her money too. She went into their kitchen, climbed on the counter and got her money off the top of the fridge. When she got down she handed her mom 5 one dollar bills, 4 nickles, and 7 pennies. Her mom told her that she didn't have to give her money and that they would donate money as a family and Brinley said, "No, I want to use this!" Taralee told her that she should keep her money since she doesn't get money very often and they d...

Met A New Friend!

Kolby went to her weekly doctor's appointment today and as soon as we got there Dr. Kline came right out in the waiting room and told Kolby that there was a 15 year old girl who was just diagnosed with cancer and she was having a really really hard time. He asked Kolby if she would go back and talk to her. Kolby met McKenzie. She is such a darling girl. McKenzie was just diagnosed with brain cancer two weeks ago. She was very quiet and we could tell that she was scared and uncomfortable. She is just beginning to lose her hair and Kolby chatted with her about her experience. Kolby told her about the Wig Cottage and a few web sites with hat hair. McKenzie seemed a little uplifted. Kolby also told her all about her experiences the first few cycles and how much better it does get. Kolby also learned that McKenzie has to have chemo and radiation everyday for 30 days and it really made Kolby appreciate her 21 day cycle. The two were able to get strength from one another. I was really pro...
