I can't believe how fast the time went. I remember bringing her home from the hospital, and now she is my beautiful 8 year old! Happy Birthday Hailey...I love you so much!

Just a sneak peak

Hailey is getting Baptised on March 1st. My sister in law Jessica (THANKYOU SO MUCH!) took her pictures for me, made invitations and a bunch of cute things with the pictures. I love this white dress poem...I love how she took a close up of Haileys dress to put as the background...I LOVE ALL THE PICTURES SHE TOOK! Invites are going out today, so be looking :)

I have been tagged

My friend Melisa tagged me...Im not sure if she tagged me because she wanted to see what I would say, or if she wanted Thomas' snot picture to move down on the blog...either way, here we go!

5 Things people dont know about me

I love socks, I have tons of them

I love plants. I used to have 25 of them in my room growing up (thomas keeps saying there is no room for inside plants....i had 25 in my ROOM...now i have only 4 in my whole house...how sad) so i just put them in my yard.

I have to have one foot out of the covers to sleep at night...no foot out...no sleep.

I love to scrapbook, I love to get stuff to scrapbook, but I just havent had time to scrapbook...so i guess you could say, I collect scrapbook stuff.

I am really bad at spelling. As we speak, I am trying to get spell check to work, and it won't. So, this one may not be a surprise to anyone!

We have results

Drum roll please! The lump they took out of Thomas' neck was a benign tumor. The thyroid ultrasound found the lump to be nothing. They are going to re-ultrasound it in 6-8 months to make sure it hasn’t grown, but they believe it to just be another benign tumor. He got his nose splints out on Wednesday (pictured below…not for the weak stomaches…it has a big ‘ol booger hanging from it…yuck! I wasn't even going to put it on here, but I went through the hulimation of taking the picture, I may as well use it, right?!) It was well bigger then is entire finger. There were two of them in there, one on each side. He swears he could feel them brush past his eyes on the way out. All grossness aside, he is feeling so much better since they were removed and we are just about to 80%...I will take it! We didn’t celebrate our anniversary on Wednesday. My sister is soooo kindly taking our kiddos on Friday night to Saturday, so we are going to go to a movie and dinner. (Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Colette!) I am so excited! Thank you for everyone’s kind words, prayers and thoughts in our behalf. We appreciate and love you all!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, THOMAS!!

Thomas and I wrote on his mission for a year and a half. He got home the middle of August and we got married Feb 6, 1999, in the bountiful LDS temple. Thomas is my best friend, a wonderful husband, a fantastic father...and (sorry mom's) a fabulous lover :). I am always amazed how well he is with our children. He always is playing with them and having fun. I call him the fun one...someone has to fight the homework and brushing of teeth! :) Every day that goes by, I love you more Thomas!! Happy 9th year anniversary!!! Here is to an eternity more!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from our wedding!

bye bye bump

It has been a L-O-N-G week. Long week. Long week. Thomas went in and had surgery on Wednesday. He had a bump removed from his neck (bad picture below), and a deviated septum (nose) fixed. As he went into the ENT to see what he thought of the lump on his neck, he found that he was getting little to no air out of one of his nostrils. He was breathing mostly though his mouth. The ENT said that made it so the quality of air he was getting wasn’t as good as if he breathed though his nose. He thought it would help with his asthma and his SNORING (yeah, crossing fingers!) While he was there he also found a lump on his thyroid. So, on Friday, we went to McKay Dee hospital and had a thyroid ultrasound done. I could see the lump on the ultrasound, but I already knew that was there ;) No fingers and no toes?? That is the kind of ultrasound I am used to looking at! Anyway, we will find out the results of the lump they took out and sent for testing, and the ultrasound when we go in on wed and get the nose splints out. (I tried to find a picture of the splints...they are HUGE!! Thomas wants me to take the camera on wed to take a picture of how big they are....so stay tuned for a special treat! LOL). Anyway, Thomas helps me so much....SOOOOO much. When he isn’t able to help me, I feel the stress. I treid to keep the kids away from him (they kept being wild and making him afraid they were going to hit his nose), keep him drugged (he isn’t doing so well with the recovery...actually not well at all), keep the stupid sidewalks and driveway shoveled...none alone really push me over the edge, but I have been really grumpy and ornery! I guess I am just praying that the lumps are nothing, Thomas will FINALY recover and we can get back to good old same ole same ole.

Just some things about me

I got this idea from my friend Amber's blog. Here's what you do:

1-answer the questions

2-type your answer into Google image search

3-use the first picture that comes up

A Bad Habit
I have always bitten my nails. I have on fake nails now, and haven't bit them since they have been on...although I still mess with them.

Favorite Animal

I am going to have to tie with a polar bear and a panda bear. Hailey loves polar bears, and Kaden loves panda bears...since I like them both...I couldnt side with either kid!







Where you met your sweetheart

I had to pick two pictures for this too. Thomas saw a picture of me at my sisters house (in michigan) while he was on his mission. He asked her if he could write me (in utah). She gave him my address, and he wrote a letter. (the reason there is the mail picture). We wrote for a year and a half. BUT, the first time I ever saw him in person was the day of his homecoming. He was in his parents car headed for the church and saw us pull up. He stuck his head out the window and told me to follow them to the church (that is why I googled head out the window).
