Bella and Edward in Utah

OK, maybe not all together, LOL! Wednesday morning Joseph, Aiden and Michael set out on our trip up to Utah. We got on our first flight without too much stress (heaven bless whoever invented a good double stroller), and we sat down to get settled on our first flight (that's right, we had a layover) As soon as I was settled a Man came down the isle with a little girl and a wife with a baby girl. As soon as they sat down the woman started hyperventilating and stressing about a flight with two kids... Um yeah lady, I had to bite my tongue to not tell her to find 4 more kids, or add a kid and loose the husband, and then complain... Soon after we took off the husband asked me why I'd fly alone with…

Halloween Costumes

In the spirit of blogging, and since I'm so picture obsessed, it's only fair, regardless of other circumstances, to share some Halloween snapshots. Friday was the day we made our final decisions on the job and move, so it was a BIG day in many ways! We went to the ward "Trunk-or-treat," and had a great time. Michael was our "Soccer 'ball' Player" I got the outfit at the AF DI, on our trip last month, and hoped he'd latch onto the "basketball player" idea, he didn't, after three weeks of 5 different ideas a week, we went to Traders Village, and ran across some soccer balls, he decided he wanted to be a "Soccer 'ball' Player" (the "ball" addition all his own), but when it came down to time…

ICE or In Case of Emergency

Family, Grief and Loss, Health Concerns, Polls, Pregnancy

OK, I deleted the chain email, but people are doing this "ice" thing, where in your contacts on your cell you put "ice" in front of the names of the people you'd want contacted in case something happened and you weren't able to respond about who to contact. Ice Husband, ice2 Husband desk, ice3 Mom, ice 4 Mom cell, ice 5 MIL, etc... While I was pregnant I was especially concerned about this and put "husband" in front of Kevin's numbers, and "Mom," and "OB/GYN," and "Ped, Dr. ******," etc... So hopefully if anything had ever happened that they'd be able to contact the right people, and get necessary records, as well as wished doctors for my care. Thankfully it was never used, but I was happy to know that…

Utah Trip Update

So, in case that didn't make any sense, I had 5 teeth majority worked on here. Two root canals, and a tooth pulled on Wednesday with a bone graft for a future implant. On Thursday I went back for two more root canals, but once they'd cleared the decay, we realized there wasn't enough left the save the teeth. So those two were pulled as well and I got bone grafts there too. So yeah. I'm in less pain now than before, but still plenty of pain. So, on Tuesday we flew in. We got in at noon and ran to temple square and to get some supplies for my family. By 4 we picked up Nate. That was wonderful! Everyone was filled with joy and excitement to all be…

Still Sinking In

I don't think people realize how much this storm has effected this community. I'm grateful there are not more deaths, but it will take us a while to recover from all of this. There's a very somber mood about. People are panicking as they run out of supplies that they hadn't thought of. I've seen a lot of alcohol, which isn't normal to me. We need to boil water for a while, but have enough water pressure to do dishes and laundry again. We still have a bit of bottled water though we are starting to ration the boys on that. We're still "stuck at home" and Michael and Kevin are off the school and work hook tomorrow, well unless Kevin needs to run a short update. We feel so…

Updates.

Family, Grief and Loss, Health Concerns, Memories

Last I heard lastnight Grandpa still had not gone into surgery, he'd been continuously bumped out of the OR by more important procedures, but today he's at the top of the list, and they'd be informed with morning rounds today about when his surgery would take place, but it definitely should be today. It's sad for him, he so wants to stay independent, and wants to keep doing so much but his body just won't let him anymore, that's got to be one of the most frustrating things we go through in this life. Update (early afternoon), surgery is scheduled for this afternoon, thankfully it now looks like instead of an entire hip replacement that they'll be able to just put a few pins or screws in and sew him…

My Grandpa, My Parents, and My Brother

Aiden, Church, Family Fun, Grief and Loss, Health Concerns, Me, Memories, Pictures, The end is near, To new beginnings

My 80 somthingish Grandpa broke his hip lastnight and fell, they're not sure what happened first. He was carrying a BIG watermelon and Grandma seems to think it landed ON him and that's what broke it... So I guess there's three options. He was supposed to go into surgery earlier today but it kept getting knocked back. So I'm not sure what's happened. My parents are currently at a neighborhood/stake (gotta love Utah) meeting concerning a woman in their neighborhood who was badly beaten this week in her home by a door to door magazine salesman, who'd been to my parents home earlier that day. I'm not sure if it's so much concerning the actual incident, local emotional control, or information to help protect themselves. The hazy details I have…
