Ramblings...

Christmas Day!Christmas Day was a wonderful day at home with the family.
A great day is one where you can spend the day in your PJ's,
and where the family is together all day!
Life is good!
Test Results

We finally have the test results for the boys.
Riley is negative and Sam is positive for the Factor V.
So Sam now gets a trip to the hematologist.
We just visited the Hematologist for Katie and that pesky Blood Clot is still there...
It was quite big to begin with and is dissipating very slow.
Katie gets to wear her favorite white socks and take coumadin a little longer.
We go back in June for another ultrasound and to see the Hematologist.
In the meantime Katie has tested positive for the Factor II,
which makes her more prone for a repeat clot.
Well the Dr. mentioned to me that the family would need to be tested for that now...
The continuing Saga...
Road Trip...

We took a road trip to take Katie to College! She is all moved into her new apartment! It is hard to believe this was the last time we will take her to college... Now that she is getting married she won't move home for the breaks. Jeremy had picked out a great apartment and Katie will live there by herself until they get married. It is a nice complex and some nice young man appeared to help us unload her stuff. I think they will have a lot of fun meeting all the other cute young couples. It is fun to see your kids get older and experience all the wonderful things life has to offer. Keeping with Tradition Mike and I took Katie to the grocery store to make sure she had food to eat. Katie must of realized this was the last time the Parentals were paying so she stocked up! It is hard to see your kids grow up but fun to see them embark on life's journey.

Christmas Eve Tradition...

CHRISTMAS EVE 2008

It started years ago when they were all little.
Every Christmas Eve they all sleep in the same room and watch a Chrismas Movie.
This year it was "Home Alone"
They are getting a little older and wiser...
They watched part of the movie and then turned it off and went to bed!

Snow Day!

Let it snow, let it snow...

We have had snow days in Utah and Wyoming!

Never expected one here, so what do we do on a snow day...

The boys have loaded up and headed to Utah for skiing!!

It is great to live in a town with no snow equipment, a little snow and the town shuts down.
Even the airport is closed and so is I-15 south. We are enjoying the humor.
No one here has a snow scrapper in their car!

Thanksgiving is over but...

This is a great thing my niece sent to me:

Something cool that Xerox is doing If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! This is a great site. Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them...
