Dinner Can Be Exhausting....

when you have a hard day sometimes this just happens. Please note she did finish all of her dinner before nodding off.

Don't be Jealous...

her she is in all her glory at 17 months old, I know too cute for words!! And yes I am a little bias cause she is mine, but hey I have the right being her mom!!! This little girl has it all personality and spunk, to go along with the curls on top of her head. Mom, do you see a little Chesney right here!!!

Cort Has Surgery

dad and him watching TV waiting for the doctors to come and get us


in his cute hospital gown, he did not want to put it on

His face shows the disgust for the good medicine

following the good medicine

here is how we found him after the surgery

On Tuesday, we made the great voyage to the Dixie Regional Health and Performance Center and had a tonsillectomy for Cort. We knew after our fifth or sixth throat illness something needed to be done. He is home and doing really well, we all need some sleep due to the fact our sleep is in limits due to needing drinks and medicine about every four hours. We are also home bound due to a spike in strep throat our doctor has warned us about.

Our hope is he will gain some weight and get healthy!!

Juan and I had a great laugh after they gave him the medicine that make him sleep in about ten minutes, the nurses told us it would be the only time we thought it was funny for him to under the influence.

In Memory of Tharrel E. Caldwell

It has been almost a month and I finally feel like I can share this info with everyone. After Christmas we had to say good-bye to my grandpa. It has been hard to know he is no longer here with us, but it is what it is..
So I say goodbye this way and on the warm day this spring when we say our final goodbye, I will know you up there looking down and holding Camille, showing her how to drive a nail with one hit and how to fish without getting your line caught in the motor. Just promise me you will never try to teach her to drive, I will always remember that was the longest trip we ever made in the ford from Castle Dale to Ferron. And I will always remember it is okay to be tall, cause I do not have to stand on a cigarette bud to kiss a ducks ass... Take Care Old Man!!!

Festival of Trees in Hurricane,Utah 2010

Cort's Preschool did this tree for the festival of trees, he was pretty darn excited when we got there to see if a couple weeks before Christmas. He class helped make the gingerbread men and gingerbread houses that were the decorations.... More Christmas photos to come

SOMEDAY.....

this is the first of three kids (Cort, Camille and JUAN) who are just waiting to go here someday, we have decided as a family we will wait until both are potty trained and can enjoy the rides, so a couple more years, but hey it never hurts to start dreaming early right!!!
