HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAY AND TYLER

Here we have the family gathered around the dinner table to celebrate Kay and Tylers birthday.

Kay is looking at a book from Neal Maxwell that Josh gave him. Kay loves books by Elder Maxwell. Kay is 52 this year. Where did all the time go?


HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY TYLER!!!!!!!

Now maybe Tyler will stop stealing Kay's ties.

Tyler saw this picture of Joseph in a seminary video. He told me about it and how much he liked it. We had no idea what the picture was called or who the artist was. It took me many hours to find it and then a lot of work to find someone who would sell me a print. I found a Gallery up in Utah finally. Tara helped me pick out a matt and frame. Tyler seemed very excited.

Sweet Sixteen and Never Been Kissed. Yeah right.

A BORN ATHLETE

Daxon has his own basketball standard and has a great desire to play but there seems to be one problem. He's too short.

Uncle Tyler comes up with a great solution.

Maybe Dad can teach his some basics while he's waiting to grow.

THE POOL

Jeremy and Ashley bought a pool for the kids that fits on the deck. They spent a lot of time in the pool while we were there. It was very enjoyable to sit out and watch them play.

ROCKBAND

So it has been forever since I have posted and a lot has happened so we will start from the beginning. Josh and I went in the the video system Wii. It has been a lot of fun. We took it to Ohio with us and while we were there we bought Rock band. Cambri is a natural and Tyler is looking all cool.

GRANDKIDS

Here's just some updated photos of the grandkids. The joys of my life.

LORELAI

I took a short little vacation this last week and went to see Emily, Preston, and Lorelai. Prestons mom Janet was there also and we had a great time. Lorelai loves to smile and does it all the time. We were taking pictures constantly because she was always so happy. Emily called us the Paparazzi. One of the days we were there we went to see Shoshone Falls which is about two hours away.

KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS

What's a "Krispy Kreme?"
When people talk about a Krispy Kreme doughnut, they're usually referring to our signature treat: the Original Glazed. Made from a recipe dating back to the 1930s, our Original Glazed doughnuts have helped set us apart. And if you haven't had an Original Glazed HOT off the line, you need to try one!

So you are probably wondering why I have this on my blog. Well you wouldn't have to ask if you have ever had one of these doughnuts. I discovered them a few years ago when they opened a Krispie Kreme store in Tempe. We would drive there special just to get the doughnuts. Then something glorious happened and they opened one just ten minutes from our house. Well a couple of years ago all of the Krispie Kreme stores in Arizona closed. I can't even tell you how bad that hurt my heart. Especially during the holiday seasons when they have their pumpkin doughnuts. Well the most marvelous thing happened. On May 13th 2008 the Krispie Kreme store by us once again opened it's doors. I went there the other day and their were 30 cars in line for the drive through. I guess I'm not the only fan.

KAY MEETS THE ROAD PART 4

So I know I haven't been keeping you up on Kay's accident but I don't think anyone is reading this anyway so it doesn't matter. Anyway if someone is out there reading this I will update. Kay had an MRI on his wrist. The MRI showed that he has deep tissue bruising. The doctor said this can cause much more pain then the break and takes longer to heal which has certainly proved to be true. Kay started with a physical therapist on Monday and will continue to do that twice a week for six weeks. He comes home from PT pretty sick. Hopefully the end will justify the means. The good news is he can put on and do up his jeans by himself. It is very painful but he does it.

KAY MEETS THE ROAD PART 3

So we went to the orthopedic surgeon today and the good news is the elbow is healing well so no surgery there. The bad news is that something is terribly wrong with his wrist and after three xrays the doctor can't figure out what it is but is is extremely painful. So now Kay has to get an MRI and the doctor put a brace on his wrist. The road rash is healing but still painful especially on the right knee. I will keep you informed.

KAY MEETS THE ROAD PART 2

So I have an update on Kay's arm. We went to an Orthopedic surgeon yesterday. He said the arm is broken in three peices. The problem is it is so close to the elbow it is dangerous to immobilize it for very long. So they splinted it again and said that will be on for one week. Then we go back and have another xray taken. If it is stable and not moving then they will keep the splint off of it. If it is not stable then they will probably do surgery. So pray for stable. The road rash is doing better. The pain in the broken arm is very bad when the arm is moved, bumped or Kay breathes wrong. I had to go back to work today so he will be on his own. Try going potty or pulling up pants one handed. It's tricky. An insurance adjuster cam to look at the motorcycle yesterday. There is a great possibility they will total the bike. YEAH!!!!! Think good thoughts.
