March & April

In March, my Grandmother passed away. I flew out and was able to be at the funeral with my Mom's side of the family. Although my Grandma is missed, I enjoyed seeing so much of my family and enjoyed the time I spent with everyone.

Mark's 10K run in Gunnison!

Mark's Birthday!

Kayley's mile run.  I got to go meet her, with the boys, and even got to run some of the way with her.  She was so FAST!  It was a neat experience to be their with her!!!

Daddy's Birthday dinner.

TIME for a long overdue update (1 of many)!

Mark took the girls skiing (way back in January).

Kayley's 100th day of school.
She was asked to make something with
100 things so we made a hair accessory.

My Birthday
Celebrating with Mark's family.
His sister and I are a year and a couple days apart
so we get to celebrate each year together!!!

My favorite birthday present that my girls
and my sweet husband put together for me!

Moriah and her cousin Derek.
They got their braces on just days apart.

Jacob's primary teachers gave him his
very own Book of Mormon.
He LOVES having his own book!

Braces, Snow & Tumbling

Moriah and her braces! 

BEAUTIFUL!!!

We have had LOTS of SNOW this WINTER!!! 

 Parent observation day at Jacob's tumbling class.  It was so much fun to get to go in and watch him, he was so FUNNY, always looking over at us.

The Manti Temple

Mark and I FINALLY got to attend a session at the Manti Temple.  It is so NICE to have this temple so CLOSE to where we live!!!  I am thankful to our Moriah who held down the fort while we were away!

Jacob's Surgery

Jacob had his tonsils removed after Christmas. He was so BRAVE and is doing Great now!

Daddy getting Jake all ready (he was strictly "Dad" and not "Doc")

This is right before they took our little sweetheart to the OR. They kept asking if someone gave him versed (a sedative)! No, he was just tired, and sad.

After the surgery, just waiting for him to "wake up". The OR crew dressed up his monkey, "Shower", who was the only one allowed back there with him!

All done and headed home!

The saddest part was getting him to take his medicine and then convincing him that when we could see him wincing painfully when he swallowed, it was time for more medicine!

He seemed to get better, then worse on day 6/7 (as far as pain and fussiness go) and then one morning (about day 8 or 9) he woke up without any pain and could eat whatever he wanted! Now you'd never know he even had surgery.
