So much...

Has been going on around our house lately. I've been waiting for pictures and will post our adventures when I get some. We went to Wallowa Lake for a McGary family reunion. Before leaving I took Alyssa and Jason to the dr. Both with ear infections and Alyssa had pink eye. I was glad to get them on antibiotics before the trip. Jason turned 4 on the 24th. Cameron got pink eye when we got home. I was glad to see he's gained 3 pounds. He is now up to a whopping 51 lbs! I don't know where that falls on the charts, but it seems pretty small to me! Luckily I haven't seen anywhere that says a certain weight has to be made to be out of a booster seat in the car. Just 8 years old. I will be glad when that day arrives! David took a business trip for 2 days to CA. when we got back from the reunion. Legal stuff is no fun. Alyssa has been attempting potty training. It's not going so well. I REALLY dread potty training. It is no fun and the messes are no fun. It is nice when it's done though. I am wondering still if Jason is fully potty trained! He changes underwear and pants every time he goes to the bathroom. And yes, they are wet! I am still doing laundry from the reunion. Washing coats and sleeping backs I think are the last of it. Of course the laundry never stops, but it'll be nice to get the camping stuff done. I watched "Confessions of a Shop-A-Holic" while David was in CA and I loved it. It's hilarious. I liked it so much I watched it the next night! I am almost 22 weeks into my pregnancy. We discussed baby names on the way home from Wallowa Lake. Melanie and Cameron came up with some. The list so far: Daisy (Melanie's), Jenna (Cameron's), Lindsey and I can't remember any more. There weren't to many. I like the trend we have going of common names. The hard part will be the middle name. I also like common names for middle names and I might have to dig deeper in to our genealogy to find one. And of course, school for the older 2. I am glad that they enjoy it and I have really loved going to the library several times a week. It has been so enjoyable not to have cable in our home anymore. I don't know if David will fully agree with that, but I love it. I spend more time with my kids at night doing the important things than watching the latest reality show. I love reality shows. This is a good thing for us right now. And school pictures came back this week!

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to change up, little specks to take off, small touch ups before th

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah,

TRIALS

We have been preparing for over 4 years for this trial. But nothing, no matter how much you knew it could and most likely would happen, can prepare you when your son's doctor tells you now is the time. "Your son needs open heart surgery." August 24th, 2005, Jason was born in Las Vegas, NV. He was perfect and healthy looking in every way. At his 2 week check up the doctor heard a heart murmur and recommended I take him to the cardiologist. I mentioned that I was flying out to WA in a few days and so I'd probably go when I got back, 3 weeks later. The cardiologist doctor called me the next day after visiting with the pediatrician, asking me to go in to have Jason checked out. It was late and he was willing to stay after hours for us to get there. After an ultra sound of his heart (echo) the cardiologist diagnosed Jason with a very small hole in his heart. Nothing that needed to be fixed right away, unless it started causing problems. So Jason started going every 3 month
