End of Summer Pictures

This girl stepped up her game in gymnastics for the summer.  She moved up to level 2 and went 2 days a week for 3 hours each day.  She worked her booty off and by the end was a tired, hot, sweaty mess!  She has sure improved the last 3 months though!

Took these boys out school shopping at the Outlet Mall in Lehi where their biggest priority were shoes at the Nike store.  We went to dinner at Johnny Rockets after!  Boys are soooo much easier to shop with!

I finished Jason’s quilt!  He threw away his old one I made 8 years ago that was falling apart!  He loves it!

Alyssa had a BBQ/swim party for her gymnastics team.  She played in the sand until we could go swimming!

Olaf!  This dog sure missed his Dad while he was gone to the Philippines for 2 weeks!  He licked him and licked him all over his face for 5 minutes!   The girls put Oly in a box and I have about 25 pictures of him on my phone in that thing!  He is not short of any love and attention around here.

After a date night I came home and checked on the kids.  All asleep in their rooms and the girls had laid out their “outfits” that they were going to wear for school.

My friend, Bonnie, came and visited with her family!  We met at Beauty School and became great friends!  She lives in Draper but the last time we got together was when we lived in West Jordan!  It was fun to catch up!!  After dinner we took them on a hike out back up the mountain.

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
