Winter Fun

Acouple weekends ago Kyle and I went out for our first razor ride of the year. It was also the first time we had gone in the snow with the razor and the first time Kyle has been in it since his back surgery. We didn't know what to expect. We had so much fun. The day before we went out to the same place with the Sameri which sort of got stuck and then the big diesel truck. The truck we got stuck in. We had to call one of Kyle's friends to come and pull us out. It was pretty funny. It took acouple tries to get us out of the snow and once we were free his friend decided that we should go fourwheeling with the trucks. I was worried we would get stuck again but atleast we weren't there alone. These first two pictures are of where we got stuck. You aren't suppose to be able to see dirt cuz there was ALOT of snow on the ground.

These last pics are of us riding around on the razor. I didn't think would be much fun on the snow but I was surprised. I can't wait for it to snow again so we can go back out. Don't get me wrong I'm glad we are having nice warm weather but now that we can have fun in the snow I won't mind it if is snows again.

Introducing...........KEETA!!!

Well I never thought I would say it but We got another puppy!!! We have always talked about getting another dog since Max but never did we really mean it =) But a week and a half ago we were looking on KSL and spotted her and her owner said his wife was forcing him to get rid of her. She was so cute and here in town. We went back and forth and Kyle said it was up to me. I would get all excited and then I would tell myself we don't need another dog. But here she is. I couldn't help myself. She is so much fun!!! We have had her for a week and the potty training is actually going pretty well. She weighs about 2 pounds and she is 2 and a half months old.

Here she is doing what she does best. She wants to bite everything. I'm having a hard time getting her to only chew her toys.

This is pretty much the other thing she does best. SLEEP!!! This is when we like her best =) She sleeps in the weirdest positions. She likes her head lower than her body and she has to be near your face. Which sometimes isn't the best cuz she latches onto your lip.

This is Keeta in the tub having her first bath. She HATED it. She kept shivering for about 30 mins after I took her out of the tub. But she slept for a long time. Which was way nice.

Jaxsen has a blanket that he has had since I got him and he loves this thing. But this picture shows how much Keeta likes it too. Anything he has she has to have. So you can pretty much tell he isn't her biggest fan. =) They are getting better. I should have gotten a puppy when Jaxsen was younger. He is 5 1/2 years old and so he doesn't have the same energy that Keeta has. I'm way excited for her to grow up and these two can be friends.

Christmas 09

This Christmas Kyle and I decided we wouldn't over do it, but he never listens to me. Back in October Kyle talked me into letting him get a bullet reloading system and he would consider that Christmas. Well as you can see he won. It has been nice though cuz he was able to get up after surgery and spend some time reloading bullets and I think that helped motivate him in getting better. He also humored me on Christmas day by letting me take a picture of him with it. =)
I got an awesome ipod docking stereo system. My regular stereo broke and so Kyle surprised me with a new one. It is AWESOME!!! Then as you can see my friend Becca got me a pug calendar which only makes me want another pug! and my friend Sunny got me a mug that has my favorite pictures of Jaxsen on it. This was a good Christmas =) We also recieved a cool book that my mom put together of pictures from our last family reunion. It was way neat to look at the pictures. I never would have thought to put them in a book. Thank you Mom!!!


Well this next picture is of Jaxsen and his present. He has a soccor ball that he just loves but he ends up ruining it after awhile so I got him a new ball that I'm pretty sure he can't ruin. It is pretty fun to watch him play with it cuz he can't see where he is going when it is in his mouth =)
We had a great Christmas with Kyle's family. We had some yummy food at his sister's house and his mother's house. We saw lots of family we don't see very often. I wasn't in much of a Christmas mood but being around family sure helped out alot.

It's Christmas Season!

It is officially Christmas Season!!!! I'm so excited! I love this time of year. I love the music, the decorations, snow and wearing cute warm sweaters! I got my christmas tree up and did it totally different than I have ever done. I put stars, snowflakes and rafia bows. I think it looks ok. It is a nice change from having a red n white tree. I'm sad that we won't be putting up lights outside this year. I just wish the kids would leave our house alone. It really ruins the christmas spirit when kids come and mess with the lighted deer. Oh well. This year we will be spending Christmas with Kyle's family and I'm so excited. His mom and sister always cook some yummy food! I can't wait for Christmas!!!!

Thanksgiving

This year Kyle, Jaxsen and I went home to Duchesne for Thanksgiving. Everyone was there except Brian and Becca. We had a great time. The food was fabulous! and so was the company. Friday we got to go see Grandma. She looks so good. I just wish her memory was better. Atleast she remembered me so I was thankful for that.

I was so thankful that Kyle was able to handle the ride home. It just wouldn't have been thanksgiving without him. I'm so thankful that his surgery went so well and that he is feeling better. I'm thankful for all my family and friends. I"m thankful that I do have a job and for most of the people I work with =) Just kidding. I do love all the people I work with.

I love this season cuz once thanksgiving is over Christmas is so much closer! I love Christmas!! I'm looking forward to spending Christmas with Kyle's family. Thanks again to everyone who prayed for Kyle to recover quickly from his surgery.

Kyle's Surgery Part 2

WE ARE HOME!!!! Man this was such a long week. I finally got a picture of Kyle. I think he must have had a pain pill on board cuz there is no way he would let me take a picture any other way. =) Friday he finally felt good enough to walk. It was so awesome to be there to see him walk. I know it sounds stupid but what he went through to get that far was amazing. He first walked to the nurses station and little farther which was about 30 feet. (I could be off a few feet.) Then the physical therapist came acouple hours later and he walked a long ways. He was so tired when she was done with him. His last attempt was to the elevator and it was all I could do to keep him from getting on and leaving! Most of the nurses were good to him but he had 2 that were horrible! It sure ruins the experience when one nurse decides to ignore his requests. Oh well now I'm the one that he gets to bug about his pain medications. (Wish me luck! I'm sure he will want to divorce me cuz I'm going to follow the rules). I want to thank everyone for your prayers. He did great and I have my husband back. I was just nervous something horrible would happen but nothing like that did. Thank you again!!!

Kyle's Surgery

Well Kyle went to Las Vegas to have surgery this past tuesday. He had an anterior/posterior back fusion. They went thru his belly and put a plate on L4-5 and L5-S1. Then they flipped him over and put a plate and rod on the same vertebreas thru the back. Dr. Kabins did the surgery and he said it went perfect. Kyle is doing good but he is in alot of pain as expected. Today he has gotten up 5 times and this last time he moved so much faster. I think he is making great progress. I went to take a picture of him but my batteries were dead. I will have to stop at the gift shop at the hotel and buy some. He is staying at UMC and I'm at Palace Station Casino. Both places are nice. The people at UMC are so nice except Kyle's nurse today. He seems to think that Kyle doesn't need any pain meds. I think Kyle has thought about killing him but I won't let it happen. I will keep you posted and hopefully be able to get a picture. Maybe I'll ask him when he has had a few pain meds on board. He pretty much does whatever I ask then. I got him to walk to the door which was huge for him.

They Say It's Your Birthday!!

This past weekend Jaxsen and I celebrated our birthdays. I just wanted to post some pictures of us. We had a great weekend. We went and picked up pine nuts with Kyle's sister and brother in law, went to St. George to do some shopping and watched movies. It was a nice relaxing weekend.

This picture is of Jaxsen when I first got him. He is 2 months old. He was so cute. Mostly eyeballs and ears!

I was driving home one weekend and had Jaxsen in the front seat with me. I looked over and he had his face between my cd case and the seat. I thought it was so cute!
