Lucky 7

Jason’s birthday finally came!  Seems he starts the countdown after school ends every year.  He had a great birthday.  I took donuts to his class at the end of school.  He loved that!  This was Jason’s first year to have a friend’s birthday party.  Mostly because of the fact that he didn’t have many friends in West Jordan.  He was the only boy in his Primary class and he had just started school there and was making new friends in class when we moved.  When we were making the list of boys to invite to his party last week he ended up with a list of 12!  He was beaming and said “I have so many friends mom!”  Only 2 of those 12 live outside of our neighborhood.

We decided to do a water theme.  The kids had slip n’ slide races and water balloon fights.  We ate pizza and had cake and ice cream.  They also had fun playing with all of the presents everyone brought. 

After the party David took Jason and Cameron to the Springville High School Football game.  I am sure they are loving it!

Some things about Jason:  He is extremely smart.  He retains things well and catches on quick.  He can’t sit still very long.  He has a little bit of ADD (like his Dad)!  He is really shy and does not like to be in the spot light.  He is quiet and does not voice his feelings very readily.  He loves to play on the WII.  That is one of his favorite things to do.  It is funny to watch him move his whole body while he is playing.  He gets really into it!  He loves to play with friends.  He is a sweet boy and tries hard to do his best at church and school.  I love this little boy so much!  I can’t believe his next birthday will be a big one for him turning 8!  I hope this year doesn’t go to quickly.  I want to keep him little for a bit longer!!

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
