Things They Do!

I had to post a few quick things that my kids have done lately that I don't want to forget...

Sunday during Sacrament Meeting, Alyssa fell and David took her out. While trying to comfort her he looked down and he had blood all over the shoulder of his white shirt. I guess she bit her lip from the fall. Church is from 11-2 and it's right in the middle of nap time. He took Alyssa home and put her to bed and stayed with her the rest of church. It was a good thing that David's advisor in Deacons quorum had the lesson that day. It was all good. So of course we don't live that far from church, but we always still drive. So when church was out I figured we'd just walk home. Melanie was walking in front of me and she had a dress on that is pretty fitted. So she had one hand on her hip and she just started swinging her little bum from side to side. She new she was strutting it! I really had to hold back the laugh and not comment. I can't let her get too cocky so young!! I do have to say though...when you got it, flaunt it, and she's got it (I'll just never let her know!)

David is doing another weight loss/get in shape competition with a guy at work. The first one at the beginning of the year was to lose weight which they both did and both got to their goal. This time they are doing P90X and losing more weight and getting buff at the same time. At the dinner table Sunday, David was flexing (I know, try not to laugh) showing off a little bit to the kids. Next thing we look over at Cameron who is lifting up his sleeve looking at his "guns" kind of secretly. We just had to laugh. Before long Cameron and Jason will be in competition with each other and probably even with David he's so competitive! Things to look forward to!

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
