Okay I have to rant for just a minuite, the Dr. at the emergency room in A.F. is an idiot! When we were there the other night he told me that if they did the test for meningitis that we would most likely be admitted. So he did the test, which consisted of him inserting a large needle into Stevens back and getting a sample of spinal fluid, they told us that we were being admitted and then about 30 minuits later the Dr. comes in and tells that whatever Steven has, it IS NOT meningitis and that we are being discharged and to follow up with ouf family Dr. in two days. So two days later, and Steven is still not feeling any better, we go to see our family Dr. and he pulls the labs from the E.R. and proceeds to tell us that Steven DOES have meningitis and that he never should have been released from the hospital! Apparently the E.R. Dr. took the spinal fluid sample , but never bothered to get the results, and just sent us home! If it had been bacterial Steven could have died! So the moral of my story is, if you have to go the E.R. in American Fork, and your Dr. is Mich Jones- ASK FOR ANOTHER DR.!

And the winter drags on.....

So it's been awhile since my last blog entry, but sadly nothing much has changed. Why is winter so boring? I don't have any new pictures to share because, seriously who wants to take pictures when it's just hazy grey skies and dirty snow. I think we should do a "Spring dance", you know like a rain dance, but for Spring. I am still looking for a job, and that has been taking up a lot of my time so uh, that's why I have been a slacker where blogging concerned.
You know that your life is sad when the only thing exciting you've done lately is visit the emergency room. Well that is where I got the pleasure of spending last night. Steven came home from work on Tuesday and looked like death. The whites of his eyes were completely red. He went to bed and I couldn't get him so wake up long enough to have a drink. He continued to get worse and was in a lot of pain. When I checked on him last night he actually asked to go to the Dr., fir those of you who know Steven, he DOES NOT go to Dr.'s. I knew that there had to be something really wrong if he was willing to go. He was in so much pain, it was awful to watch him, it really scared me. He did not have the flu, he did not have strep, and he did not have meningitis, he has some kind of infection somewhere but they don't know exactly where. He is doing better today and hopefully will keep feeling better. Thank you to Bro. Sargent and Bro. Gamble for coming to give him a blessing, I'm sure with out it we'd still be at the hospital, before they came we were told we were being admitted, and after the blessing his fever started going down and he was able to talk to us and tell us how he was feeling. Thank goodness for the priesthood and the men who hold it!

Anybody else ready for Spring?

I was thinking this morning, as I looked out the window and couldn't see the house across the street due to this horribly depressing, suffocating haze, that I am done with Winter. That got me thinking about my plans for my world (yes, one day I WILL have my own world). I thought I might share my plans with all of you.
1. No one will have any hair.
2. Everyone will be Naked.
(Note on first two rules, no I am not a perv who wants to see hairless naked people, but just think of how much time, effort, money and frustration we would all save if we
didn't have to worry about our hair, or what to wear. And if no one ever wore clothes
it wouldn't be weird. Obviously though our bodies would need to be tweeked a bit.)
3. Winter would only last from Thanksgiving to New Years and then we would just move
right into Spring until, lets say June when Summer would start and last until the first
of August when Fall would start and last until Thanksgiving and we started all over.
4. We can eat what we want when we want and, as long as your a nice person, you get to
to be skinny, Yeah!!!!
Now doesn't that sound like a good place to live? You're all welcome to come and visit me in my world anytime.
By the way, I am in desperate need of a job so if anyone knows anything that I should know, feel free to let me know.

Our year in review. Hope you had as much fun as we did

We went 4-wheeling out at five mile pass on New Years Day, We had a great time, and the weather was great. And not once did Steven succeed in flipping me off the tube!


We had a great Christmas!

I finally painted my bedroom after 8 years!

We had a interesting Halloween. Me and the kids were out trick-or-treating, and I got a phone call from Steven saying that our dog, Marley, already had one puppy and to hurry home. She ended up having 10 puppies! We had alot of fun with them and I even miss them.

Steven did (and is still doing) his part to keep the bird population down

Wesley got to go hunting with dad and grandpa

We hiked to a waterfall up by Aspen Grove, and I got a HUGE reminder of how out of shape I am!


Steven got an elk, maybe this year he'll draw out on Monroe.
