Memorial Weekend

We left to St. George on Thursday night. Here is a run down of our weekend. Friday I took the kids to a park. Jenna was asleep and David was working so it was nice to have my arms free to push swings and play with the kids. We also took a lunch and ate there. Then later that afternoon we went swimming at the pool by Chuck and Carol's house.

Saturday we went to Sand Hollow Reservoir. This was such a fun place and won't be our last time! There was a lot of boats and ATV's and it was just so fun to see. My favorite outdoor activities when I was young. We had some friends down visiting also and so we got to see them there. Melanie loved playing with their daughter, Alyssa, that is her age.


Sunday night we drove out to the home Chuck and Carol are building. Next time we visit they will be all moved in!

Monday we went to another park and then cooled off at Town Square where the kids got to play in the water.









It was a fun weekend with something new everyday. And we missed the cooler weather that was hitting our home. It was nice to feel the warmth of summer. Can't wait for it to come to our house soon!!

When I saw the stroller photo I had to look at it for a min. I love how much she looks like Alyssa. How fun to be able to go play in the water on a warm day. Can't wait for you guys to come down for the 4th.

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
