Hello all,
We have had computer trouble so it's been awhile since my last post. I love that SUMMER is here!!! Zack will be out of school tomarrow. Cortnee graduated from preschool in May.
Carrissa is going to be living with us for the summer. Last month the Clements family came to visit. I loved seeing them and getting all caught up with their lives.
Sam and I have been busy making some boxes our new wood project.

Hello all,

I just wanted to update everyone. Sam has been working for Powell Pro Remodeling for about a month. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. He is back in the field doing all the labor, but he is learning a ton and I think he is enjoying the different jobs. however he comes home really tired and sore, not the best thing for his back.

We went to Crystal hot springs last weekend and had a blast! The water was really cold on Saturday morning but they had the pools hot, hot, hot, by Saturday night. The kids had a really fun time. We made it home without any problems and stayed warm.
Zack is off track for three weeks , so I hope we can go do some fun things. If the weather would stay nice it would make it so much easier. Zack is doing really well in school, he is a great reader, hard worker, and good at math. I am very proud of him. Cortnee is doing well in pre-school, her handwriting is really improving. I'm so proud of her she is a hard worker and very social. She will be graduating this May and can't wait for kindergarten to start. As for myself I can't believe how fast they are growing up, I am so glad I'm able to be home with them and be apart of their lives.

OH NO!!!!

Oh yes, I have a really bad ear infection. It made the whole left side of my face swell up three sizes bigger. My ear is so big I think it's going to burst! The doctor gave me some drugs for it so we'll see if it gets better. It was so painful I asked for a blessing, I'm sooooo greatful for the preisthood.
About four months ago I had Strep throat. A few weeks after that I got shingles and couldn't go to Thanksgiving dinner with the family, it was no fun by myself. Now I have this extremely painful ear infection. I think it might be a huge boil in the beginning of the ear canal followed by a regular ear infection, the type that little kids get, by the ear drum. It just adds one more thing to all the crap going on in my life. YEAH ME!

Swollen ear. Normal ear

Going CRAZY!!!!!



With all the CRAP in our lives right now, we had to get out of the house and blow off some stress. So we went to the Hollywood Connection and had a blast. Every Monday they have a wristband special. For $7 you can ride all the rides, mini-golf and go roller skating. So we had fun in the bumper cars, the dragon, and other rides as well as mini golf. We even tried roller skating, the kids didn't really like roller skating, they only made it around one time. I'm glad it was included in the price for the wristbands. We were able to do all the rides several times and had some much needed family fun! Thank you Gramps for giving us the money so we could treat our family to some fun, and much needed stress relief.

Hello all,
We are still looking for employment. The market is so tough right now. We have been doing small jobs for family and friends. We have had so many people help us with suggestions of work as well as other things. We are so grateful to all the people that have helped us in this low time in our life. Zack has been off track and is glued to the TV. He has played with friends, enjoyed his new toys and the Wii. Cortnee loves playing with her princess dolls.
