Oops!

I left off the rest of our trip...ooops! I hear kids crying and my brain shuts off. We also stopped overnight in Las Vegas to visit Adam's family there. We stayed at the "castle" AKA Excalibur, and Shaylee and Savannah loved it. We had a great view of the running roller coaster at New York New York and they loved to watch it go!

Well, I am doing a little better at this....We had a great Christmas and hope you all did too. We went to Utah for almost a week and spent Christmas with my sister and her little family in Springville. Unfortunately, we hit black ice just outside of Cedar City sending us spinning off the freeway! Thank goodness that they had already had a few storms that left behind a lot of snow....I am positive that without it we would have rolled our truck! As it was, we slid about 30 ft off the road and had to call a tow truck. We are all OK and the truck received minor damage. But it took us 18 hours to make an 11 hour drive with 3 little ones in the truck! We had snow all the way from Beaver in addition to the snow outside of Cedar City (about a 15 mile stretch). It was definitely an adventure!

The girls really enjoyed Utah and getting to know their cousins better. Deb's kids are closest in age to our kids out of my side of the family. Adam took Shaylee sledding on Christmas with her uncle and cousins, which she LOVED! She would only use the the fastest sled and would not let anyone on it with her. I asked her when they got back, "Did you have fun?" To which she replied, "YES!!!!!" I asked, "Do you want to go again? She answered, "Noooo, it was too hard!" (referring to climbing the hill over and over again) We also went to the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork, which was really neat, visited Grandma Sandy, Great Aunt Merry, and Great Uncle Jim is SLC, and blessed Ricky.

The day after we returned, the scissors were left down and Shaylee cut her hair! (Our 1st experience with this) Of course, it was New Year's Eve night and no one was open for business until 2 days later!

Well, we hope that you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Years! Love you all!

I am not very good at this blog thing! I don't know how you all find the time to do it! We are all doing well and are looking forward to Christmas. Adam gets 2 weeks off....so I am extremely excited! Last week, we took the kids to a PolarFest in our community. The kids got to ride carnival rides, ponies, etc. It was a great family outing. I think we are staying home for Christmas....there is a possibility that we may go to Utah......we will see. My sister asked Adam to bless her little boy so we are looking into a last minute trip since Adam has the time off. I hope that you all have a fun and safe Christmas! We love you all!

Going Crazy

Hello all! Sorry it has been so long. Things have been crazy around here. My mom is still here and is staying until after Thanksgiving. Adam is working his tail off trying to get the business back up to speed. With all of our medical adventures lately, it has been sorely neglected and boy are we feeling it! I am doing much better but am still recovering. Shaylee is thriving in preschool. We just had her 4th birthday party at our house. We think that poor Savannah may have sprained her ankle yesterday while playing in our backyard. Nathan rolled from stomach to back for the 1st time this week and is starting to laugh and smile at everything. Not much else is happening. I hope you are all anticipating a delicious Thanksgiving feast. Have a fabulous one!

We have had a crazy couple of months! We moved our business, added a new family member, Adam was hospitalized at the beginning of September for 6 days for a severe allergic reaction to an antibiotic, and DeAnna had a spinal tap done almost 2 weeks ago which has caused non-stop headaches, mostly migraines. Poor Adam had to take the kids trick-or-treating by himself. Adam is all better but DeAnna is still on bed rest until the headaches clear. Adam is heading to Tennessee this week for training so De's mom is coming to stay indefinitely until De is all better and can resume normal activities. All things considering, we have been looked out for and blessed so much.

new family blog

I am trying this blog thing at the request of some of my friends. I will try to keep on top of it, but we will see if it works out.
