Easter-Conference Weekend

Saturday morning we were up bright and early to go to a Cousin's Reunion (Floyd side) in Provo. My mom is the oldest of 8 kids and so I am one of the older grandchildren on that side. Actually I am the 3rd oldest and 1st granddaughter. There were no other cousins until my younger brother was born. So when ever reunion time came around (which wasn't often enough) when we were younger, I didn't have any cousins to play with my age. I think I pretty much hung around the adults when I was a teenager at those things!! HAHA!! But everyone lived far away so it was always so much fun to see everyone anyways! In some ways it was funner that way to. Lots to catch up on! Now a LOT of cousins are at BYU. Great time to get together!Nick & Jessica (Floyd) Berejkoff, Addison Floyd, Kim (Floyd) & Michael Allred, Caleb & Ben Coburn, Bryce Floyd, Me and my kids, Allison (Floyd) & Scott Lalor. A few others had other plans that morning and couldn't make it! My uncle Wes and Aunt Barbra were there for the weekend also with their daughter Sydnee.
We had breakfast and watched the Saturday morning session of conference together at Aunt Barbra's parents home. David came for an hour than had to leave for a work meeting. He missed out on the pictures!
While David was at the Priesthood session the kids colored eggs. They loved it! They are showing off their names they wrote on them.

T-ball starts this week for Jason and Melanie. Dad got out there and did some practicing with them this afternoon. It was pretty cold. Snow covered the grass when we woke up this morning. But it was fun. Daddy time is always great lately!!

Cute pictures. Looks like you had a fun Easter weekend. Lyndin got the same line of dresses your girls got and we watched Blindside last night. It was excellent. I couldn't believe the snow! I am so ready for summer. Oh well I'm sure by August I'll be ready for Fall.

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
