I know I have not updated in along time. I like to see everybody elses. And I really need new pictures to update. It has been quite the year for our family. We just keep saying our prayers that everything will be ok. We are very blessed. I am so glad we have the church in our lives, I really don't know where we would be without it. So much has happened. It is nice to know my Savior is always with me. I know sometimes i have taken him for granted. With what has happened this year I have really had my testimony strenthened. And I am glad I am here to tell about it. I have got a greater apprecition for life and the family & friends in my life. I love you all so very much. Kendel is my rock. I don't tell him enough how much he means to me and how he gives me the strength I need. I love you Kendel. My children bring the most joy in the world to me. i love having them around. Holidays seem to go by way to fast and I don't seem to get enough of them. Aidan brightens my days when Randy & Chanc come home. We can't hardly wait to have another grandson coming in Febuary. Manny & Chelsea are always wanting us to go to Boise and spend time with them and we love it. Chace is become such a great strength to me. He really has growen up and is pretty responsible. We are very proud of him. He has been working with Kendel and caught on to what has to be done. He also knows what his dad expectes. Chad keeps us laughing all the time. Also keeps us on the go or thinking for a come back for what ever he says. I love you kids and our grandson! I will try to be better at keeping this updated. Maybe i should stay focused and do this instead of seeing whats going on in the facebook world. HAHA!

what a crazy life we live. So last Saturday we made a mad dash to Portland to be with Nels & Betsy Chelsie & William. It is still a tough situation and Nels is having all kinds of surgery this week. Came home late Sunday. On Tuesday Kendel's mom called to say another cousin is in the hospital here in Burley with congestive heart failure. ENOUGH ALLREADY!

Well this has been a busy nonsense couple of weeks. And no I still have not taken time to know how to do this properly. Oh well! Maybe I'll be lucky and someone will help me out! Hint(Chanc & Lacy). My dad is doing really well and is doing out patient therapy now. He's pretty excited. But getting antsy to get back on his horse. I hope he will wait for Russell to come home in July. But I'm sure we will all be there for his first time back on.
Then last thursday we had some really sad news a 2nd cousin of mine, that we have been really close to lost there baby at 5 months along. we went to Pocatello today for the burial not fun. Last year on January 29th my bother Russell and his wife Connie lost their baby at full term so it just feels like it just goes around. In the last year and a half my family has lost 4 babies that seeems alot. then when we got back today Kendel got a phone call that a cousin of his had stop to help someone in Oregon and was his hit by another passing car, and is in Spokane in critical condition. It just goes to show we never know what can happen in the blink of an eye. Love the ones you have and always be that better person. I am so thankful for the church and its teaching. I know there have been alot of times I have not been the person I should be, but I feel I have grown because of those mistakes. When my grandma died last April she said, Remember I don't want any empty chairs in heaven. I have to tell myself everyday that statement. I also love the saying Remerber he never said it would be easy, only that it would be easy. Also I want to say sorry to anyone I have ever offended I truly am sorry. Boy this is a sad post kinda of a feel sorry for me.Ugh Love to all

Okay! Sorry but i am just now able to sit down to post. I got dad & mom home on Saturday night. By the time I got them settled down and me settled down, ( I needed a breather ). anyway dad is doing good and glad to be out of the hospital. Home health will be into help with him for the next couple of weeks. It will give mom a break (ihope she takes it). HAHA ! The thearipist will also be in. dad is not wanting to go out. Please call him & mom or stop by. Love to all !

Well today has gone real well for dad. He has been able to get up and walk alot today. Dr. Lind told him he will send him home on Saturday. So we will head tommorrow and take it slow. Stop and let him get out to stretch. I think he will do okay. Leslee & Jaxon came last night, Mom & I went with them to eat at Dairy Keen a cute little hambuger joint. It had a train track that went around close to the ceiling that also had a little truck that went on the track to. Then this afternoon my moms cousin Kaye and her husband Steve came over to visit they live here in Heber. They took us mom & I on a ride. We went to Midway. Everbody should take aride up thur there. The homes have a swiss look to them. They have been restored. The brand new ones have the same look, except they are multi-million dollar homes. Some have muruels painted on the out side to do with the swiss. Kaye showed us Pres. Monsons, Elder Holland & Elder Nelson summer homes there. Took us to a place called Homestead where they have a golf course, ice staking ring outside, and they do horse sliegh rides. Around the golf course they cross country ski.A place to ride snowmobiles. Also there they have a hot pot where they certifie for scuba diving. There are other hot pots ar0und in Midwaay we could see the steam coming off as we drove around. They have cute food places to eat at. Lots of Condominans to rent one set had an indoor pool. They have 3 or 4 Bed & Breakfast that are big. One Kaye called the castle and it looked like one. They said that when the Winter Olpmics were in Park City the people that came discoverd Midway so there has been alot of development inthe last 12 years. We also seen 3 herds of deer, one herd was completley surounding a home. Must be someones summer home from the looks of it. Then we saw a herd of elk. Also wild Turkeys. Then we drove back to Heber and seen the new golf course that Arnold Palmer designed and is develpoing the area. Then we drove up on the eastside of Heber Where there are homes that are huge. Kaye is a realtor so she was telling that these homes have abedroom for these famlies that have married kids with kids, that have bathrooms and Kitchenetts in them. WOW! To big for me and I wouldn't want to clean it or pay for someone to clean. But of course these people have the money to do so. If Ihad that kinda of money I would rather travel. Then they took us to eat at a mexican restraunt called Dan Pedro's yummy yummy! Well this is a long post again no pictures and I have nmanaged somehow to change the font. OH well! Love you all.

hello to you all ! Dad had a very good night. They had him up and walked him this morning. He has been sleeping since. which is very good. So we will see how the day goes. when we bring him home he will have to keep the ice machine with him plus the leg exercise machine that keeps his leg moving. So we have 2 big things to bring home with us. The afternoon dad was up and walked with crutches. He is excited he is doing so well. They have turned up the leg motion to 80 degrees. By Saturday they want it at 90 degrees. The nurses, theraapist have been very nice. Last night we watched the Jazz play tonight we are watching another game. Leslee & Jaxon are coming here and mom & I will go eat with them. Oh to those that know aunt Betty her knee is not getting better. Because she won't stay off of it. The crack is bigger so it sounds like she is going to have to stay down so it can heal. Betty stay down!JEEZ
