SPRING IS HERE!

Here is the beautiful Brittany, taking a break from her homework--acutally I dragged her away, to take this picture. It's nice to see the green grass again. It's hard to believe that she is almost 14 already, and she's so excited to become a Mia Maid.

Brennan is soooooo excited that he FINALLY gets to go outside! I ran back and forth with him for almost a half hour, trying to get him to look at me and smile for a picture--then I settled for to have him at least LOOK at me!---Then I realized that wasn't going to happen either, he was just having too much fun to pose for the camera-- so here he is in all his glory!

I just love my family, and have the MOST ADORABLE kids, even if I do say so myself, and I'm so proud of them and love spending time with them. We're planning to do lots of outdoor stuff this summer----I'm even going to start walking--I should've warned you to sit down before dropping that bombshell! (ha! ha!)

BLOGGING AGAIN SOON!

I just got a new camera and I'm excited to get some more stuff on here! Haven't had much time lately, but will soon.

Brittany the Scholar!!

I wanted to post pictures of Brittany holding up her two High Honor Roll and Citizenship Honor Roll certificates, but she said she was too embarrassed (I say too humble!) to show off. So I took the liberty of announcing it anyway, without the pictures! Sorry, Brit, but I (and dad and Brennan) are too proud of you to let it go! WAY TO GO BRITTANY!!! WAHOO!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We hope you have a fantastic birthday honey!!!!
You're the greatest!!!
29 again???????????
We love you!!!!!!
Love, Jule, Brit and Bren

Calla Update

Calla is currently in Life Care Center for three weeks to rest and hopefully get stronger. She seems to be improving some.

Get Well Soon Calla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last Thursday, Jan 14, Calla suffered a major heart attack......where it was very up in the air if she'd survive or not.............An odd coincidence to have on her birthday of all days!!!! She was taken by ambulance to Lakeview hospital. They fixed the worst of the two arteries that were giving her a problem. They'll do the other one in a couple of weeks, when she'd stronger. This one is only 90% blocked (as opposed to 100%). The same doctor who worked on M. Russell Nelson of the 12, worked on her and did an excellent job! She is still in the hospital as of today, Sunday, Jan 17, but is expected to go home soon. This was totally unexpected, as she's had no previous heart problems. Get well Soon, Calla, our thoughts and prayers are with you!!!!!!!

Welcome 2010!!

Well our New Year's Eve was very eventful! (Ha Ha).

First, there's Brennan, the life of the party!

Then, Brittany insisted on going to bed at her usual time of 9:30, but she agreed to pose for this beautiful picture of her before retiring. If you look close, you'll notice that the New Year's banner came with an extra "P" in Happy--hopefully this means that we'll have an extra happpy year!!

We had a great relaxing time, though, and we hope everyone has a fantastic New Year!!
