Welcome to the age of technology!!

Well we have finally decided to enter the world of technology. So here goes nothing!!

Our family is keeping busy here in Layton.
Travis is still working for Fidelity Investments in Salt Lake City. He is working in the training department and helping people who are studing for the series 7 & 63 exams. He enjoys his job there alot. He is also serving in the High Priest Group leadership.
Melinda keeps busy at home with the two kids. She is also serving as the Young Womens President in our ward, which is a fun & hard calling. Melinda has also become the coupon queen, she loves all the deals she can get and loves to show off all the free items she is getting each week.

Parker just turned 5 in November and is in his last year of Preschool and is just growing up so fast. The other day he said, "Mom, I'm getting old, look at my hands." He loves school and anything SuperHero. He loves to sing and is often found rockin out with his new mp3 player. (Credence Clearwater Revival is his favorite band.)


Hannah will be turning 3 in April and she is such a princess. She loves anything that we say is a girl toy. She keeps Melinda busy while Parker is at school. Hannah loves to go shopping and help mom with the coupons. She's still trying to get the whole potty training thing down, Mom will be excited for no more diapers!


The newest addition to our family is our puppy Dewey. He was given to us on Dec. 26th, 07. and has just fit right into our family. He's finally got the potty training thing down (kind of) and so Melinda is liking him more.

Well this is the first of hopefully many posts. We'd love to hear from all of you!

YEAH!! I'm glad you've decided to join the rest of us "bloggers". I feel like I haven't seen you forever, so at least this way we can see what each other has been up to.

I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering what you were up too. I am glad that you gave into the blogging thing because now I'm not the only one who gave into peer pressure. You kids are huge!!!! Has it really been that long since we've seen you? Well keep blogging so we can keep updated.

P.S. Nice choice in dogs, they're a great breed. We sure love ours!!!

Expressing my feelings.

So this post has taken me a long time to write. I never thought I was the kind of person that kept things inside, and didn't know how to express my feelings. Usually I confront things before they become an issue, but over the past 2 weeks I haven't known how to express my feelings on a particular situation. So since I think of the whole blogging thing as a form of Journal I thought no better way to get a few things off my mind. In November of 2007 I had a miscarriage, when I was 10 weeks pregnant. I didn't want anyone to know that I had a miscarriage so I just kept it inside. (I told family of course) Since then I have been unsuccessful in getting pregnant, so two weeks ago I finally went to talk to my Dr. When I was there he did the routine yearly exam and felt that I had a lump (Nodule) on my thyroid. He informed me that this could have been the cause of the miscarriage & why I haven't been able to get pregnant. He suggested that I go the hospital to have a ultr...

Nervous!!

So I am getting really nervous for my surgery tomorrow. I haven't been sleeping very well this past week. Those that know me know that I am not a morning person & I love my sleep. Well I've been up since 5:30 this morning. So far I've changed my blog background 5-6 times and looked at anyone & everyone's blogs. I've looked at blogs of people that I don't even know. So I find out this afternoon what time my surgery will be. Now the key is to keep myself busy until tomorrow. I have a ton of things to do today so hopefully I will be successful at forgetting about being nervous. Well wish me luck! I'll update when I get home from the hospital, which could be as late as next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Hannah is such a good big sister.   She loves to hold Olivia & play with her.  One day she got really quiet & I went in to check on her & she had fallen asleep with Olivia on her.  Tooo cute!!  Olivia 3 months old!  Trying to catch a smile on camera.  So Cute!!! Trevor wanted a picture of him. Parker turned "10" in November.   I can't believe we have a 10 year old.  We love him so much!!! Here is a picture of his cake.  I didn't get one of him blowing out the candles.
