Christmas 2008

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. We started out the morning with Carlee opening her gifts from Santa. This whole month we have been telling her that Santa was not going to be bringing her toys. He was going to give her some Dumbo ears instead.(she does not listen very well) So after the first few presents she says to Chad & I Nener Nener Nener, I told you Santa wasn't going to give me ears!!!:):) Cami & Rod came over and enjoyed some of the excitement with us.

We then headed over to my dads house. Can we say WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!! It was snowing & blowing the entire ride there. When we got there we noticed that my brother had his truck stuck. So when it was time to leave all the men head out to get him unstuck including my dad (who had a 5 bypass surgery 20 days ago) They start out in my dads truck which gets stuck. So my dad gets on his tractor and pulls his truck and my brothers truck out. Chad gets in our truck to get it warm and realizes that he is stuck as well. We had some good laughs.

From there we headed to Cami & Rod's house and spent most of the day. We are so lucky to have such a loving and giving family. We don't know what we would do without them.

How things can change

We as a family had such fun & exciting news at the first of the week but that changed by the end of the week. My Dad called me on Wednesday night and said he had been in the ER all day because he had been having some chest pains. They did a bunch of tests and sent him down to Mckay Dee in Ogden on Thursday for an angiogram. From what I understand that is when they place a catheter in his leg that goes up to his heart. It takes pictures and checks for blockages. So if it showed he had some small blockages then they could place some stints at that time. This is what we were all hoping for. But no! I received the news at work on Thursday afternoon that he would be going in for a 5 bypass heart surgery at 6:00AM on Friday. So most of you that know me could only imagine what is going through my head. Your right my mom. Here I am thinking that I am going to be parent less due to heart problems. Friday was a very very long day. He was in surgery for about 6 1/2 hours. During his surgery a nurse would come out every 2 hours and give us an update. His heart surgeon is great and has explained everything very well. He was supposed to be in ICU for 3 days but was discharged yesterday to another floor. So far everything is going well but we have a long road ahead of us as a family. I will keep you all updated.

The results are in BOY or GIRL????

We went for our ultrasound on Monday morning at 7 and found out our great news!!!! I am feeling really good but am quite MOODY!!!! My clothes are starting to get that tight feeling. I am at the stage where people either think I am pregnant or I am just fat.
Carlee seems to be somewhat excited to be a BIG sister. She keeps saying that she has a baby in her tummy like her mommy. We tell her that you can not tell people that.:):)


This is a pretty good outline of the face
