A Blizzard...on my birthday!?

So I'm not talking about the Dairy Queen Blizzard, which I would LOVE for my birthday, but the kind of blizzard that brings down white stuff from the sky (namely SNOW). A sure sign that spring has not quite sprung here yet! I usually enjoy getting spring clothes like capri's, short sleeve shirts, sandals and such for my birthday, but I guess I will have to wait a few more weeks for that. David is taking me to dinner tonight. I hope that the blizzard stops before then since we are driving to Orem to drop off the kids at Chris and Andrea's and then driving to Provo to the Olive Garden (my favorite place)! Thank you so much for the gift card and the free babysitting Chris and Andrea!

This morning when Melanie woke up the first thing she said to me was "Happy Birthday Mommy!" I couldn't believe she remembered since I briefly told the kids yesterday that it was my birthday today. At the breakfast table Cameron said he was going to give me 10 pieces of chocolate (another love of mine). He said that I could have them all myself. That was a surprise to me because he has a love for chocolate too and is usually asking for a "bite" from whom ever has it! I don't quite know how he is going to get it or when, but it's the thought that counts when it comes to kids!

David has a weekend planned of remodeling the girls' room! I will post pictures when it starts! I am soooo excited! It is going to look so different!

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great night and the snow doesn't keep you away from spending time with David. How sweet that the kids remembered your special day. It sounds like you have some sweet ones (in addition to dang cute)!

Happy Birthday- Your kids are so adorable to make it special for you. Have a blast tonight-I will pray for nice roads for you, though we got snow early this morning and it has already began to melt-so you may not need me to. Anyway, can't wait to see the new girl's room as well.

Glad you had a good day. Chad did mention after looking at the calendar, "I think it is Kira's birthday today". and he hadn't even seen your comment on our blog. I guess he remembers like you do. Have fun remodeling.

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
