I took Jenna to her one year appointment at the doctor today. She has had a cold the last couple of days accompanied with a fever. She hasn't slept very well with her stuffy nose. While waiting in the room, Jenna fell and hit her mouth. Under her lip that connects with the gums it detatched. She was bleeding pretty bad. I didn't realize it until a few minutes after when her mouth was filled with blood! The dr. reassured me that she would be fine. They don't do stitches when that happens. It probably won't reattach itself though...sad! So while she was calming down I had the doctor look in Cameron's ear. It has always been full of hard wax. We have tried candle sticks, over the counter drops and even bobby pins to try and get it out! It is so gross. The doctor suggested going to the EAR/NOSE/THROAT doctor. He said he couldn't see the ear drum and it was really hard in there. Not a surprise. So I will be scheduling an appt. for him soon. I don't know how he can hear very well!

Jenna is still proving to be a little thing. Here are her stats:

Weight: 18 lbs. 11 ozs. (15%)
Length: 28.5 inches (40%)
Head: 46 cm (70%)

I can't even turn her around forward facing yet because she hasn't reached 20 lbs! Oh, well! She likes to look at her brothers and sisters! So along with the lip detaching she also got 3 shots and a finger poke for an iron test, which she passed. I was glad that she took a good nap after all of that!

What a tiny thing. Poor thing having to go through so much in one day. Hopefully the ENT can help Cameron too. We're headed there with Lyndin.

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
