Family fun night!

Kaylee had family home evening(this can always be a scary thing), she planned a family fun night. We started out with tricks on the trampoline and then we played horse......which me and her tied for loser:(

Troy shows off his smooth moves!

Kaylee did good keeping up with making her baskets!

Ok.....so my turn was after Jeffs and as you can see he had all kind of strange moves for his shots!! That's the last time I go after him....haha!

Yes Dave always had to show us up with all his fancy shots!......Such a show off!

Do you see that.....I actually made it!

Yep it went in!

Jordan made his shot look easy!

He likes to show off like his dad ;-P'

As you can see Troys real talented when it comes to tricks!

Kaylee was pretty proud of her handstand!

Took the picture to late!

This picture was just plain weird....You can see her shadow in the sky......

Thanks Kaylee for the fun night....You did great!

Spring Break Happenings!

For spring break this year we went to Bulldog Canyon with some friends! We had a lot of fun with them! Lots of hiking, talking, and good food! However I didn't take many pictures!

Kaylee's 11th Birthday!!

It's taken me a while to post this one....for some reason I've had so many memories going through my head that have been buried for a while. I don't know what sparked them as her birthday came....maybe its just the fact my baby is growing up on me and I am so proud of who she's becoming.

This is an awful picture, but I thought it might help you understand my memories. There were times during her problems when I wondered if things would be all right. The first being when I found her the first time she had a siezure. I didn't know what happened all I knew is Jordan told me there was something wrong with her. I ran upstairs and found her on the bed. She was like a vegetable. No life except for her breathing. (is it stupid that I still can't think about it without tearing up!!) It took her about an hour of her lying lifeless before she started to come around. At that point she still couldn't talk, and she didn't recognize me. she looked at me with terror in her eyes and tried to push me away. I just remember thinking-don't you push me away I'm your MOM!! When the parimedics arrived I remember looking at one of them in the eye (he was in my ward) and asking him, "whats wrong with her, is she going to be ok?). He looked at me and couldn't say anything. At this point all I could do was plead in my head with Heavenly Father....Please don't take my baby!

She finaly came out of it fully after three hours, but that was the start of all her heart problems. I'm so thankful for how good she is doing now. For all the friends and family that prayed for her while she was going through it.....I don't know if I ever told everyone.... I remember the sunday before her surgery one of her friends coming to her (Anna Snow) and telling me Kaylee was going to be ok because everyone in the ward including her were having a special fast for her. Everyone was so good to her and helped her feel better.

I don't know why I decided to write about it I guess its because it made me appreciate my kids a little more and remember that even though they look perfect, things can change it the blink of an eye. Lately I've been wanting to hold on to my kids a little longer just so they know their mom loves them. The older ones find it kind of annoying! :-P'

Kaylee got contacts for her birthday!! She was so excited she has wanted them for a long time but we made her wait. I was so proud of her she learned how to put them in and get them out pretty fast!

She had a hard time remembering to keep hold of her upper eye lid. She would blink before it was in all the way!

Finally got it!

Kaylee & Kaylee
Didn't have a birthday party this year, but one of her good friends showed up to wish her happy birthday anyway!

Wanted to call her Grandma's and thank them!

Of course what else do you get Kaylee.....books! She loves to read!!

She bought a turtle for the pool with the money she got from her Grandparents!

She's perfect and we love her!

Just some fun pictures!

We took these ones when we were taking our family pictures!

Jordan & Friends!

Jordan and his friends wanted some pictures for facebook. They were so funny and couldn't stop laughing! I told them how cute they were, they didn't like "cute" so they had to grab their hoodies and act tough....O brother!

Jeff's 1st Homecoming! Boy I feel old:O'

Jeff went to his first homecoming! He had so much fun! The group of kids he hangs out with are such a good group they love to be silly! They went rock climbing, picnic at the park, olive garden, dancing, and mcdonalds for icecream. His girlfiend is a real sweetheart too. I'm glad he picked such a nice girl!

New Glasses!

It's that time again! Kaylee's eyes got really bad....poor girl is up to -500. I tried to tell her she didn't need to catch up with me!(She just rolled her eyes) She had to go with a plastic frame this time since her lenses will be so thick....soon she'll have contacts.....I just don't think she's quite ready enough.....or maybe I'm not quite ready enough to deal with it.
