New Hair Cut

Savanna has been wanting to cut her hair really short for a long time. She has naturally curly hair and I was afraid that if she went as short as she wanted to that she would look like she had a "fro"! We finally came up with a compromise and she had it cut this week. It's really cute and it looks great when she wears it curly also.

Pretty in Pink


Thursday was my mom's last Chemo treatment. My sister Nicole had a great idea to have all of us wear pink to show our support. Although the boy's wardrobe is sadly lacking in the pink department, it was fun to show our support and how much we love her. We love you mom and we're so happy that the chemo is over!

Bug in the eye!

Today when Parker was out riding his bike he got a bug in his eye. Nothing really big, just what looked like maybe a small flying ant. Well, I'm not sure how fast he was going but it must have been pretty fast. It turned out that the bug was imbedded in his tear duct and we couldn't get it out. We ended up having to take him to the DR. to have it removed. It took me, Brett, the Doctor and the nurse to hold him down so that the doctor could remove it!

New Job!

I have finally finished up all of my requirments for my Ameri-Corps contract. Although the last two years (3400 hours) have been challenging, it's been a rewarding experience. I was honored at the Utah Commission on Volunteers Service Conference and presented with the Presidential Service Award last month.

Next year I will be moving on to new and exciting things! I will be teaching P.E. at Parker's Elementary School. I guess if I wasn't motivated to get into shape before I definitely am now!

Savanna's 15!


Savanna is 15! I can hardly believe it. I can remember my 15th birthday like it was yesterday! How can it be that my baby girls is 15 already! We celebrated this year with family. Aunt Lesa was here from Oregon and Aunt Nicole and Uncle Jake came over to help us celebrate!
