If Once wan't Fun Enough, Then We Better Try Again!!

Our Spring Break this year was spent at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake. Kaden was hospitalized for a week with an emergency appendectomy. We enjoyed 5 days of hospital food, a room without a window and the hardest chair bed available. However, Clark and Grace had a great time getting free slushies and having the full attention of the volunteers in the playroom.



LEAVING THE HOSPITAL. At least we had two days left of spring break before going back to school!!!


TWO WEEKS LATER! Thursday April 23, Kaden had so much fun the first time he decided to go back. All the infection was not quite out of his body, so they had to put a couple of drain tubes in and hopefully Monday he will be able to go home with a pick or IV in him for 2 weeks. He is a tough kid, but is anxious to get back to normal life.

Surprise Getaway!!

Blaine and I surprised the kids with an overnight trip to Midway over President's Holiday. We told them we were going eagle watching (because we do that every year in February at a bird refuge in Farmington),but, we told them we had a new place to look at the eagles. We headed up to Park City and then over to Midway. We ended up at the Zermott Resort. We had them all fooled (except KaeLee, because she finds out everything) clear up until we pulled into the resort. I had won a nights stay at the Zermott, tickets to the tubing hill at Soilder Hollow and lunch at Dairy Keen in Heber. We had a great time and enjoyed some needed family time. Kaden and Clark enjoying a friendly game of chess in 19 degree weather!! Grace, Clark and Kaden enjoy a dip in the indoor/outdoor pool. They experienced the polar bear plunge, by, doing snow angels and then jumping into the warm pool. Here we are eating our FREE lunch at Dairy Keen! Home of the yummiest milk shakes ever!! YUMMY!! It was a georgeous day at Solider Hollow!! It started out snowing, but, by the time we went down our first run, the sun came out and we were taking off our hats, gloves and coats because it was so warm.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

Last week was my mom's birthday! She is such a wonderful, kind, fun, and loving mom! She has always been so helpful and patient (even when things get out of control)! I am so grateful for her and all she does! Happy Birthday Mom!!

Christmas Nativity Family Style!

Yesterday night Kaden, Clark, and Grace got into some nativity dress-ups that I had bought a couple of years ago at a craft fair and decided it would be fun to dress up as Mary(Grace), Joseph(Kaden) and Donkey(Clark). Was really cute and a good laugh seeing Clark carry Grace on his back.

Red Rock Gymnastics

Friday the girls got to go the The Ute Gymnastic practice meet. It was so fun to see all the cool tricks those girls could do!



After the meet all the gymnast were signing posters and Grace just had to have one so we stood in line for about 25 minutes waiting to get the signatures but, it was worth it because now Grace can show off her true Ute spirit with her gymnastic poster on her wall.
