Why can't I get the backgrounds to change? I follow the directions and still get a stupid white screen!!!

That Has to Hurt!!!

I know it has been a while since I have posted. I just posted about our dog and now it is time to post about a boy who fell.

On Feb. 21, 2009, Kestin was in attendance of a Boy Scout overnighter. On the morning of the 21st, the scouts and leaders went out for a hike. The were on top of what they call the Petrocliffs. Kestin was the first to the top of the "mountain". On the way back down, Kestin lost his footing and slipped 40 feet down the side of the mountain. The last 10-15 feet of the "mountain" was a drop off. Kestin landed in a bunch of Cactus.

He broke both of the bones in his lower leg about an 1 1/2" above the ankle. He was really lucky that he didn't get hurt worse. We found out later that out of all the places that he could land, he had the best spot. There were old tree stumps and boulders at the bottom. He could have broken his neck or worse died. We were very lucky.

The scout troup was about 10 miles in from the main highway so the trip back to the road in the bumpy truck was to say the very least painful for him. I am so grateful that the Priesthood was able to give him a blessing before they took off to the Emergency Room.

Lucky, Lucky, Lucky!

A Very Sad Day

This morning at about 11:00 am, Bear was struck by a car on the Highway. We took him to the ER Vet and he had a spinal injury. His left side was paralyzed. There was nothing they could do to help him. We left the Vet and came home so that everyone could say goodbye. We are all very very sad that we lost our "Baby Bear".

Here's the Deal.....

Hello everyone! I just noticed on my sisters blog that I hadn't posted anything for 4 months. How sad is that???

It actually stopped about the time I went back to work full time. Who would have thought I'd enjoy being at work. I do however miss my time to myself and also the kids. We shall see what Christmas Break brings as to whether or not I can work through the summertime.

I work at a company called Home Health Services, Inc. We are the parent company for Southern Utah Home Care and Hospice, Southern Nevada Home Care, Virgin Valley Home Care and Hospice and Granite Mountain Home Care and Hospice. Our website is www.nursingathome.com if you feel like you want to check it out. I work in the Accounts Payable Department. (I am the Accounts Payable Department.) I have been there since September of this year. I am really enjoying it. \

RJ is still working at Stephen Wade Powersports. It is still going slow. It is his slow season, but it doesn't help that the economy took a nose dive. He has been praying for snow and Monday we got a foot of snow at our house. I love the snow and I miss having it, but not for 9 months like we did in Alaska.

Shelby is still doing her cheer thing. She really loves it. In the next couple of weeks she will be getting her drivers permit. SCARY HUH?!?!? She should do fine but it is hard to believe that I am old enough to have a 15 yr old.

Kestin has grown about 8 inches in about a month. He has finally hit that growth spurt that we all hear about. Voice changing, growth, moodiness, laziness. All that fun stuff.

Grayson is still his "little man" self in a little boy body. Since I started work, he is my shadow in the morning. He follows me around like a lost little puppy. He has never known anything but mom being at home so mom at work has been an adjustment for him.

Hope everyone is well. Hopefully when I get my internet connection in Jan. I will be able to keep up with this again.

Love to all our friends and family.

Merry Christmas!

Oh, Pioneers

July 24th is a state holiday in Utah.

It is called "Pioneer Day" (some info @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_Day_(Utah)).
Both Grayson and Shelby were in the parade.
Grayson was on the float for our church primary.



Grayson is right at the front of the trailer. I couldn't get a better picture.

Shelby was on the float for Enterprise HS Cheer Squad.




They also got off and did part of thier pom-pom dance.


The parade lasted about 45 min which is surprising due to the population of Enterprise.





It was a fun morning.

I've been Tagged!!!

Thank you Janell!

How to play the game. Post these rules on your blog: List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions, and 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names.

3 Joys- My family, my friends, the knowledge that the gospel is true

3 Fears- Heights, bees, throw up sickness.

3 Current Obsessions- Regular Coke (mmmmm!!! but so fattening),
Blue Diamond Hickory
Smoked Almonds, reality TV shows.

3 Random Facts- I hate the taste of Pepto-Bismol or anything that has that sort of flavor, yuck!
I hate to fold the whites when they come out of the dryer, especially the socks!
I was just called to teach the CTR 5's.

Ok, So I have to tag people. Donna Shoop, Monica Stanton, Nikki Estes, Mardi Gubler, and.... do I know anyone else who has a blog????
