Alyssa starts Kindergarten

Alyssa is so EXCITED to finally have her turn to go to school.  She was so worried before that she didn’t know how to do homework.  I reassured her that her teacher would send home stuff to work on.  Her teacher is Mrs. Porter.  Jason had her last year.

When the bell rang I told her to go in to class.  She started to run that direction then quickly turned around with a panic look on her face and said “I don’t know what to do in class!”  She was happy with my answer that the teacher would tell her what to do.  After school she said she made 2 new friends and was super duper happy when she got home, and hungry!  She will do great in school.  I am not worried about her a bit!

We got a carpool this year!!  We even had to split it up!  There are 8 kids in our neighborhood in AM Kindergarten.  We split up the boys and the girls.  On our week to drive we have one day a week where they go home with the one who is driving.  They will eat lunch and play for a couple of hours.  Giving everyone a chance to get shopping or stuff done.  2.5 hours doesn’t give you a lot of time to do very much.  Especially when you have to go to Orem (25 mins. away) and stores don’t open until 10.  This will be a welcome change from last year!

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
