Good morning everybody! Thought I'd drop a note and a quick update on everyone. Kids are doing well. Daniel and Leslie are good both working. Lily is good. Getting bossier by the day! She decided to "color" herself with a magic marker the other day (thank goodness it was washable and not permenant!!!) She definately has a mind of her own and pretty much runs the show most of the time but we love her to death she is a sweetheart! Drew seems to be doing okay out on his own. We miss him lot's he comes by once and awhile but it's just not the same. Anissa is good. Just had parent teacher conference and she is doing very well in school! She is still enjoying dance and practicing really hard for her first solo competition in March. I think that she will do really well this year. Jeff is good just working lot's. Been riding a few times with the boys and a couple of times with the neighbor had a good time. Good stress relief for him! I would love to go but my shoulder has prevented me from going so far, maybe some spring riding? I'm doing okay. Shoulder is doing better. Feel much better now that they are getting the blood clots resolved and my blood where it should be. I see the doc on Friday to have my blood checked again so cross your fingers that it's staying where it is supposed to!!! Have to be off work for another 3 weeks so going crazy!!! School is good, only taking one class this semester and started late because of my shoulder so trying to catch up. Had my first test last night did okay I guess but could have done better, oh well. Well, hope that everyone is doing great. We love you and miss you all!!! Have a great day and I will write again later.

Well, I'm finally feeling a bit better. The pain from the clots is going away so just have some shoulder pain still to deal with. Been having a lot of muscle spasms the last few days been pretty painful but hanging in there. My blood work on Saturday was still bad so uped my dosage of blood thinners even more and left me on the injections as well. I go in this morning to have it checked again and see where things are at so we will see. Everyone else is doing fine. Jeff's brother Gus made a suprise visit over the weekend. It was nice to visit with him the kids have missed him. Not much else is new, everyone is doing fine. Hope that you all have a good day!

Hi everyone. Sorry it has been so long since I last updated but life has been busy. We are doing fine. Daniel is still working for Capitol. He is thinking about maybe going back to school if he can do it in the evenings. Leslie is good. She is still at Big 5. She would like to find something different but for now she is still there. Lily is getting big!!! She is talking so good now and has a mind of her own. They are still staying with us right now until they decide to build or buy. We love having them but makes things hectic at times!!! Andrew is good. Still working at Cspitol also. He is taking this semester off from school but will start again in the fall. He is thinking anout going to Weber state so we will see what the summer brings. He has moved out on his own and so far is doing ok. We miss him a bunch even though he stops by frequently its just not the same! Anissa is doing great. She is getting all A's and B's in school and is doing very well. She is a math tutor also for some of the students at her school so she is enjoying that. She is doing great at dance and has been working hard on her solo which she will start perfoming in the next month or so. Jeff is good. Working hard. Had some challenges with work but hopefully we can work through them. I just had shoulder surgery to remove some bone spurs and calcium deposits that were getting into the muscle and tendons of my shoulder and arm and getting bad enough that I couldn't use my arm. Surgery went well but, developed some blood clots a couple of days after the surgery so now I'm on major blood thinners to try and get my blood where it should be. Been on it for almost a week with injections and pills and still not even making a dent so will have it checked again on Saturday and see what I will have to do next. The doctor won't let me start physical therapy or anything until my blood situation is taken care of so my 3-4 week recovery is now 6-7 weeks! I've been a bit stir crazy but trying to study for class since school started on the same day I had my surgery and I have not been able to attend! My professor has been really good to work with me and help me along while I've been out so we will see how it goes!!! Hope that everyone else is doing fine. We miss and love you all. I will try to do a better job of keeping up to date! There is a new slide show with new pictures of everyone on this blog just click on it to start and enjoy!!!! Best wishes to all for the new year!!!!
