I am so emotional today but feel his presence ever so near. I wanted to take a minute and write a little something to the St. George NICU staff. I am forever grateful for them! There are so many that played a huge role in taking care of Austin, in which some i don't know their names. But a few that impacted me forever is Dr. Carrol and Dr. Rideout, Nurses Emily, Bre, Jenn, and Amanda.
Dear NICU Team:
You have no idea how much you mean to me, or how you will always hold a very special place in my heart. The love, respect, and admiration that i have for you can compare with no one. You took care of my baby, and LOVED him.
And I, his momma, didn't know. I didn't know how to change his diaper without moving his lines, or how to clean his face from the ventilator tape. I didn't know how to pick him up to change his bedding. I didn't konw what medication went where, or how to run the machines that kept him alive.
I tried my best, I really did. But he was so sick, and i was so scared. When Angie and the life flight crew came to get him in Cedar, i panicked. I questioned the whole way down to St. George, as i followed by myself in my van, if i could do this, if he was going to be ok. The first time I walked into the NICU, washed my hands, and was shown to his room. You guys were still switching him over to your machines. It was all very overwhelming for me, but you were so calm and collective. I had a subway sandwich with me in his room and didn't know the rule that no food was allowed, but you let me eat without saying a word because i didn't want to leave my baby. You explained everything so well and made me feel at ease. I instantly knew that he was in the best of hands.
Dr. Carrol was so thorough with his work. He would stay in Austins room and sit in the rocking chair for hours at a time, trying to come up with why Austin was sick and what he thought they needed to do next. And then there was KerryAnn. She was always making sure i was pumping when i needed to and let me tell you, Austin LOVED the massages she would give him. And we cant forget Rose. She was so kind and sweet to me, always making sure i had eaten a meal and was taking care of myself. She made sure i didn't need a room at the jubilee home. 3 days before Austin passed away was the night that they had finally gotten test results back from the Spinal Tap that finally gave us answers. As Dr. Carrol came in Austin's room and told Jon and I that he would like to sit down and talk to us in the first room, i knew what was coming. Him, Tina, Nurse Emily, and Jeannette the NICU Superviser, sat us down and told us the most awful news you could ever hear. But i couldn't have asked for a better group of people to explain to us the situation and our option for the next few days. Dr. Ridout came on call the next morning and let me just say, he also took great care of us. He was always so optimistic and positive. He couldn't have picked better timing to come on call and be the doctor. Towards the end, he even suggested that I get to change a diaper for the first and last time. That seems like such a stupid thing but I am so THANKFUL you let me. And Nurse Amanda, you brought me a blanket you had made him the night before he died. THANK YOU ALL!!!
You kicked me out of the NICU because you knew i needed a shower and sleep. You were so kind and let me board upstairs so i didn't have to come home. You listened to me cry and encouraged me to believe he would beat the odds and come home. You gave him, and me, every piece of your strength, day in and day out, for 9 days. You did everything in your power and more to keep him alive.
And then he died.
And you gave me another gift that day. You told me how he was going to die, and you guided me through his death in a way so full of grace i couldn't explain it if i tried. Dr. Ridout called all<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhCEfKodZa8i_eqwsQe8hqwHGDDfddyR1AMh2VnyjJjMRCkwdFvca6vndhSLb-7rAo0jVNDgYFI_FigOz0D8ktQQP3ucyPprCzA23xTtMkx0Vx-k3tOLuxQmZkD-4vDvB6P-CCxDrb6Iw/s1600/F4ABDDF3-369A-472A-BB78-67F08AFCF7AF.jpeg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhCEfKodZa8i_eqwsQe8hqwHGDDfddyR1AMh2VnyjJjMRCkwdFvca6vndhSLb-7rAo0jVNDgYFI_FigOz0D8ktQQP3ucyPprCzA23xTtMkx0Vx-k3tOLuxQmZkD-4vDvB6P-CCxDrb6Iw/s320/F4ABDDF3-369A-472A-BB78-67F08AFCF7AF.jpeg" width="267" height="320" data-original-width="1333" data-original-height="1600" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheOHNNp-LL1_lf5uliBMe2Ne3Ufdfhw_Ho2_1WpyLXOI0Wmm7acwXJliIH7KlSvl6WecWYHGy4f1GMwlKqKvvnN_rYAuBdMlmQ9lSuxOnUJUAKSgKuWbnfMyiPPvn-0BKLw2PJr2DdFWI/s1600/F4C2380A-1E69-4FDB-AB16-E986F1BC2BDE.jpeg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheOHNNp-LL1_lf5uliBMe2Ne3Ufdfhw_Ho2_1WpyLXOI0Wmm7acwXJliIH7KlSvl6WecWYHGy4f1GMwlKqKvvnN_rYAuBdMlmQ9lSuxOnUJUAKSgKuWbnfMyiPPvn-0BKLw2PJr2DdFWI/s320/F4C2380A-1E69-4FDB-AB16-E986F1BC2BDE.jpeg" width="320" height="232" data-original-width="1125" data-original-height="815" /></a> the family in Austins room and explained to them his sickness and why he wasn't going to make it, so i didn't have to. Nurses Jenn and Bre....I am forever grateful for you for letting EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF EXTENDED FAMILY THERE have the chance to hold him. You would have to carefully hold all lines going into him as you passed him from person to person. I am so thankful. You cried with me, hugged me, and were devastated with me. You placed him in my arms for the very last time. You made sure he wasn't in pain. And when i could bare it, you pulled the plugs when i said i was ready. You sat there and witnessed my sweet baby pass away. And after Dr. Rideout came and checked for a pulse, you left Jon and I alone and told us we could take as long as we needed.
And when i asked if my family could come back up to the room and see him after we dressed him in his outfit, you were kind enough to let them. Nurse Amy you were so kind to be there to take pictures of us one last time with our baby. i cherish those pictures everyday and forever indebted to you. After the family left, you nurses were so kind to come in and do molds of his hands, feet, and face. And Mark, the awesome respitory specialist that has a lot of meaning to our family, you took the time and detailed out the molds and finished them. And the ladies out front that would open the NICU door to let us in each time we came, thank you for making the scrapbook page of him and for making copies of his hands and feet for all my other children.
After we decided that it was time for the mortician to come and get him, Nurse Lauren C. came in and took him and watched over his little body until they got there. I am so sorry you had to be the one that did it, but i am thankful.
I feel like "Thank You" isnt enough, but its all i have to give you. You're brave and amazing, and you guys do things no one else can. So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
Love,
Austin's Mom

Austin's story. I compiled my journal entries a long with text messages i had sent to mine and jon's siblings into a little journal of Austin's life. At the very end when he left this earth i did not include. There are some spiritual experiences that happened that are too personal for me to share. This is kind of long so don't feel like you need to read it all. I am forever grateful for my Father in Heaven - for his trust in Jon and I to be Austin's parents. I love this little cowboy so much. Here is his story:::
Fri. Oct 11
10:00 am woke up this morning not feeling right. I am not in pain but something doesn’t feel right. Not sure what it is but somethings off with my body. We are supposed to go to st. george today and get me a new phone.
3:00 pm Our trip to town was very short. Once we got down there I started having horrific pains in my stomach. I couldn’t walk. Anytime I walked I would get pains. I called my doctor and am waiting to get a phone call back. The nurse didn’t know if he would want me to go the hospital and go to labor and delivery and just come to his office and have him check me so I guess we will wait and see.
5:15 pm Just got a call back from my doctor. He said to head over to Labor and Delivery at the Hospital.
5:29 pm Headed to hospital. My mom came and got the kids.
7:08 pm Dr Sanders is questioning if I am leaking fluid. Ultra sound came back borderline as far as the fluid. He is concerned about infection inside around the baby. If tests come back positive, he is taking the baby no matter what. The ultra sound measured the baby to be 5lbs 4oz. He has been consulting with the St. George NICU docs. I have been fevering and they can’t get it to break. I just hope everything ends up ok.
7:30 pm They are taking the baby. They cannot give me steroids to help develop baby’s lungs because of my infection. All the test came back negative but my infection still worries him and the NICU doctors.
8:08 pm I got moved to a room and IV’s are hooked up...starting Pitocin.
Sat. Oct 12
4:57 am We got a BOY!!!! Weighing in at 5 lbs 3 oz and 18 inches long. I am ok. I have to stay in hospital another day cause of my infection. He started out good but is struggling a little bit now. They told us the first 6 hours are the most crucial so I guess we will wait and see. It is his lungs. They said as of right now he shows no signs of infection but they have him on antibiotics just to be safe. They did a chest x-rays and decided to put surfactant in his lungs to help keep them expanded.
9:07 am Jon finally decided on a name......Austin Wayne Platt. Austin after both my great grandfathers on my mom’s side and Wayne after Jon’s uncle Wayne.
Mon. Oct 14
I got discharged this morning...but they said to plan on him here 3 weeks or so. The doc said they are going to try and taper everything down in the next couple of days and see how he does.
6:42 pm He is on 30% oxygen and level 8 on cpap. His blood came back this morning with high numbers for infection so they are going to treat him another 3 days of antibiotics. 8:00 PM Just got home. The doctor came in tonight and told me to plan on three weeks with him being there. They are hoping to have him off the oxygen and CPAP by the end of this week. And then he said it would take one to two weeks for him to learn how to eat! I cant wait to bring him home and love on him without any tubes connected to him.
Tues. Oct 15
12:46 pm I just got done holding him for the past 2 ½ hours and loved every minute of it.
6:49 pm Life flight crew just got him settled and are ready to transport him by ambulance to St. George to the NICU. They had to move his IV to his head. I got to see him with his eyes open for the first time...he is so cute!!
8:50 pm Well we are settled in at the NICU. He just wasn’t making progress so they are hoping with the lower elevation he can do better on his oxygen and breathing. I am sad to leave Cedar. It was convenient having my sister live there for someone to visit. I am thankful for all the doctors and nurses over there that took care of Austin! They did a fantastic job. I am excited to meet the doctors and nurses here. Misty hopes I get “Jenn”. She was one of her favorite nurses when the twins were here.
Wed. Oct 16
10:04 AM Doing skin to skin with him and loving every minute of it!!
12:45 PM Just held him for 2 ½ hours and when they put him back he woke up!!
Thurs. Oct. 17
4:36 pm Blood test came back this morning with low enough numbers - shows his infection is almost gone. So they decided to take his iv out of his head. His oxygen is lowered to 26. We are seeing small improvements. He has been very alert and awake most of the day.
4:45 pm Well Austin got his first visitor today being in St. George! Mack Probst came by with Jon after work. He about crapped his pants on how little Austin is! But he is back up to his birth rate which is 5 lbs 3 oz. That is a really good thing!
Fri. Oct. 18
5:22 PM He has another infection so he has another IV :( They are not sure, but questioning a UTI. They just barely put the IV back in him. He is waiting for the UTI test to come back.
Sat. Oct 19
11:45 am My mom and Cozy brought the girls down to see Austin for the first time since he got moved to St. George. But just as they got here, we got told they are going to do a spinal tap and change his cpap to the ventilator within the next hour or two! So they couldn’t go up and see him. I feel so bad! Mylee is really struggling with all of this and she is mad at me for it. Every time I promise her she can see him, something comes up that they cant see him and it bites me in the butt. So Jon is going to take the girls home and spend the day with them to get their minds off of it.
12:11 pm Austin has another infection - put another IV in his head and have him on some antibiotics. I was holding him a little bit ago and he stopped breathing for an extended period (longer than I cared for) and his heart rate dropped down into the 80s. Thank heavens jon was in the room because I yelled at him to go find a nurse since I was stuck and couldn’t move cause of everything hooked up to him. It concerned the doctor enough that he drew blood. He didn’t like the results so he decided to put the ventilator down him and do the spinal tap now and draw some fluid to check for meningitis and a few other things. So I am going to lunch with my mom and sister while they do it to him!
8:29 pm Came home tonight to be with the girls. My mind is going in 100 different directions. They ran the spinal tap early today. I am nervous for the results but ready to find out what’s causing this little cowboy his grief. I love him so much. It kills me to be home with my girls cause I feel guilty for not staying with him. But when I am with him I feel guilty for not being with the girls. I just wish I could be in 2 different places at the same time.
9:51 pm Just got a call tonight with updates. Docs are questioning a few other problems he could have. They have 4 different antibiotics going right now in his IV. Bad news is all I have gotten today!
Sun. Oct 20
5:57 am Got a phone call from Dr. Carrol needing consent from us to give him blood work because they cant get his blood to clot. We are headed down to hospital right now. This is when I really feel guilty for coming home to sleep.
11:00 am Dr. Carrol has ordered a head ultra sound so we are waiting for them to come do it. He is wanting to make sure there is no bleeding around the brain. He said with his blood not being able to clot he is just wanting to check! The veins going into your brain are very fragile and he just wanted to make sure none of them have ruptured! Also they are just coming in to do a stomach x-ray. He is starting to turn red on his stomach and its starting to get firm so they are wanting to keep a close eye on that!
12:00 pm Jon and Turley gave Austin a blessing awhile ago. I am so thankful for family being so close and willing to help out at the drop of a dime. So grateful for the priesthood and to have a husband and brother in law worthy to hold it so this little cowboy could be comforted!
12:19 PM They just got here to do the brain ultrasound! Can I just say how nervous I am. I am trying to stay positive but sometimes I just want to break down! I hope it goes good! I get to watch it get done! Wish us luck!!
1:49 pm He is having stomach problems. There is no air flowing through his intestines. If it continues to get worse, he will have to be life flighted up north for surgery! 1:51 pm His brain scan came back good! There is no blood around the brain which is what they were hoping to find!! Thank you Heavenly Father for listening to my prayers!! I am forever grateful!
2:02 pm Dr. Carrol has been talking to an infection specialist up north about what his thoughts were. Nothing is growing on the cultures they sent from the spinal tap so far. He is leaning more towards the stomach problem that’s causing all this. Dr. Carrol said we would know within 24-48 hours if he would need surgery or not!
5:35 pm We just got told we are getting life flighted. 7:08 pm Talk about a roller coaster ride....holding off to be life flighted. The surgeons up north said they won’t operate with him having an infection. They told Dr. Carroll to try a couple of other things .
7:52 pm Still don’t know where the infection is. They should have results tomorrow. The surgery would be on his intestine. But they don’t know for sure if the infection is causing the intestine problems or if he will need the surgery no matter what!
9:31 pm They gave him a little morphine cause you could tell he was in pain. It broke my heart to see his face expressions and know he is hurting! They just put a catheter in him so they could be more accurate on how much he is urinating. They are doing more stuff at midnight and might need more blood but they said that was normal.
9:57 pm He looks so much better than earlier! His coloring is so much better and he looks pink not grey/yellow!
10:07 pm I honestly have not been worried about Austin since last night. I said a prayer to my Heavenly Father last night to help me relax and be strong and I’m not kidding----I have had a good peaceful feeling since. Jon keeps asking what’s wrong with me - why none of this is bothering me and how am I staying so strong........well its my Heavenly Father blessing me.
Mon. Oct 21
3:00 am They took ventilator out of him and hooked him up to the high frequency oscillator cause his swelling is making it so its pushing on his lungs and he can’t breath.
6:58 am Dr. Carroll just came in and told us he has sepsis. We are hoping results come back today from spinal tap sent in 2 days ago.
8:30 am Had a long night. Getting ready to do a stomach ultrasound. He is going to draw some of the fluid out of his stomach that he is swelling up with and test it to see if it has infection in it or not or any signs of stool in it. If they don’t find anything in the fluid under microscope then no surgery as of now. They finally gave him some morphine to relax him. I hate seeing him grimace from pain but I really hate seeing him lay here lifeless! I wish I could take every pain he is feeling away and let me be painful not him. I love him so much!
12:55 pm Herpes and Meningitis test came back negative which is a good thing but it only leaves 1 test left to have results. If it comes back negative - we are back to square 1 on not knowing what is wrong with him. 1:19 pm Dr. Ridout is coming in to do a pickline. He is going to have to do a cut down first cause he can’t see his veins!
1:30 pm There is a big group in Enterprise fasting today for Austin. Phyllis Cooper is the one that started it. I have had the best feeling all day and I know it is because of everyone fasting and praying for us. Whether its to help me be strong for Jon and the girls if things don’t turn out the way we are hoping or if its cause we are going to see miracles. Either way I know it is helping and I am so thankful for the community we live in. 4:30 pm His liver is not functioning. It is enlarged. They think it is some kind of viral infection that is the root of all of this. So its just pin pointing to the one viral infection and getting the right meds will hopefully eliminate all the other problems.
6:18 pm. Dr. Carrol and Tina (nurse practioner) just told us he tested positive for enterovirus and that he has a very small chance of making it. It has killed a big portion of his liver and has attacked other organs in his body. Even if they can get the virus to go away his liver may be too far damaged to heal itself. That has to be the WORST thing any parent can hear is that their child is more than likely going to die. I felt the room close in smaller and smaller and I couldn’t breath. Then the most peaceful feeling came over me and I knew I had to be strong for Jon. He fell apart. He has waited through 4 pregnancies to get his little boy to take hunting and cowboying and now his dreams are being shattered. It completely breaks my heart to see the hurt in Jon. I just hope and pray we can get through this. We have to keep staying positive and hopeful everything will work out for the best. Austin can do this....He can beat this!!
11:30 pm We had the privilege of giving our sweet baby and name and a blessing. Jon did such an amazing job. I am so thankful for all the family/friends that were here tonight and for everyone that traveled far to be a part of it. It reminds me how blessed I am to have the family I do and for their support they give. It was such a spiritual moment. I could feel Jon’s mom so close. Jon commented afterwards that if he could have opened his eyes while giving the blessing that he could have seen him mom.
Tues. Oct 22
5:03 am. Still hoping we see a miracle today. WE WILL!! I read on facebook this morning that more and more people commented on Phyllis’ post opting in to fast for us yesterday! I felt so relaxed and at peace all day.....STILL DO!! I can feel my Saviors love for me. I honestly feel Phyllis was prompted by the spirit to hold a fast for us yesterday. She couldn’t have picked a better day. Because I don’t think I could have handled hearing those aweful heart breaking words the doctor told us last night if I wouldn’t have felt EVERYONES fastings and prayers. I will forever be grateful for everyone that did.
10:00 am He had the best night he has had since he got real sick. I slept better than I have since the past couple of nights. We switched doctors this morning. Dr. Carroll is leaving out of town for a week so we are getting Dr. Ridout. He is getting ready to come talk to us about blood work they ran this morning. Just waitintg it out!! They have taken him off of 1 of the 2 blood pressure medicines. Wahoo!!
10:45 am. Jon got to hold him for the 1st time!!! 4:30 pm I told Austin as I was holding his hand today his Daddy was very sad and torn up over him being sick and not healthy! I told him I loved him with all my heart and that I was OK. If Heavenly Father needs him more that I will try my hardest to be strong for his sisters and dad. I think my little Austin is worried about everyone. And if he does have to leave this earth I think he will hold on until he hears it come out of Jon’s mouth that Jon will be ok if he leaves! That is the hardest thing to have to tell your baby but I really felt like he needed to hear that come out of my mouth!
7:03 pm He is starting to pee!! He was only peeing around .6 ml an hour and now he is averaging 1.7 ml an hour. They are hoping 2-3 ml’s per hour but we will definitely take 1.7 ml. Step by step, whether they be big or small he is progressing forward. We HAVE to stay positive!! KerryAnn massaged his whole body today and you could tell he was LOVING every minute of it. It made me so happy to see him look like he wasn’t in pain.
8:58 pm They just changed his diaper and it weighed 73 which is more than he pee’d all day put together! I never thought I would be so proud of a diaper! I just hope his Kidneys continue to work.
Wed. Oct 23rd
4:27 am Look at him!! He keeps peeing and look how much better he is looking! I know its only
4:30 in the morning but I wanted everyone to see how much better he looks! Just PLEASE pray this experiment drug works today and doesnt have any bad side affects on him!! I told him Cozy was going to spank him hard twice when he gets better but that she would only spank him once if he continued to show us good things! He raised his eyebrows when I told him - HE KNOWS!!!
6:30 am They started giving him blood pressure medicine again......Keep praying he can do this!! We have to have FAITH!! They are just going to put more fluid down him. But it’s OK. I still have a good feeling! People are still praying and fasting for him. I can feel everyone’s love.
8:07 am He is losing coloring and doesn’t look good with the eye but his vitals are all good. Dr. Ridout just checked him over. He wants to see him wake up so no morphine today unless absolutely needed. They took blood this morning to check numbers so hope its good news not bad!
8:36 am Other than putting him back on blood pressure medicine in the night, he had an excellent night! Just got blood work results back this morning. His liver count has dropped!! This means his virus is dieing off and its trying to heal itself or it means its too far dead to do anything more. We are hoping for the first one! HE CAN DO THIS!!! We have to keep praying and having faith. I know its helping him.
12:11 pm Experimental drug is here----hope it helps!!
2:31 pm Medicine is down him. The name of it is Pocapavir! Some of it came back up cause his stomach didnt tolerate it but they expected that cause he hasn’t had my milk for 6 days. This medicine is a 14 day process. He will get it once a day. He hasn’t had morphine since 8pm last night. They are trying to get him to wake up and be alert. The doctor is worried about his brain and any activity cause of the virus since that is where the fluid from the spinal tap came from. But we have to stay positive! Austin needs us more than we need him right now!! He can and will do this!
6:30 pm I got to change his diaper for the first time. I am so thankful the nurses let me do this. It sounds so dumb but it meant a lot to me.
8:06 pm The next 12-24 hours are going to determine if he lives! His brain shows no activity. I have a very peaceful feeling no matter the outcome. I know Heavenly Father is mindful of our situation and he will help us get through whatever happens!
8:20 pm I am not losing hope! Just starting to get a little anxiety! I have the best peaceful feeling but its so HARD cause I swear everyone has given up!! So its hard to stay up when everyone around here is down!! Everyone left here crying like was their good byes to him!! IT’S NOT!!!! I wish they would try and at least be positive around me!! I appreciate their support but it doesn’t help when you can honestly feel in the atmosphere such doubt and sadness! We need to be happy! We are blessed he came to our family and has at least got to spend this much time with us. I am FOREVER grateful for my sweet baby. I love him so much!! 10:30 pm Jon has gone out to the parking lot to try and get some sleep in the van! I said a prayer to my Heavenly Father earlier this evening. I have felt so strongly he is not going to make it. I didn’t have the heart to tell Jon! It is going to tare his heart to pieces. He was so excited and happy to finally get a boy so he could have a hunting buddy and a roping partner. I don’t know what to do. I guess I will try and let him get some rest. They hooked up a brain scan again a couple of hours ago. Dr. Ridout is concerned cause he hasn’t had any morphine since 8pm last night and he hasn’t showed any signs of waking up. He is questioning if the virus damaged his brain. So far he hasn’t shown any signs of brain activity. I just keep looking at the dang monitor wishing it would just start showing signs of activity! I want my baby to live so badly!!!! I never EVER thought I would have to ever go through something like this in my life. 11:15 pm They are giving him blood. We just need to keep praying. I know it’s helping!
Thurs. Oct 24
1:58 am I called Jon and asked him to come in here and sit with me. I can’t do this anymore! I know we are going to lose him and I don’t know how I am going to get through this. I asked Jon to PLEASE let our baby know that he was going to be ok if Austin had to return home to our Heavenly Father! I told him Austin needed to hear it come out of his mouth. I think that is one of the most hardest things Jon has had to do but he DID it! I was so proud of him. I know it meant the world to Austin that his daddy told him he loved him very much and could return to heaven if that’s what needed to be done! I can feel Jon’s mom Nancy so close tonight! I know she is here with us helping us get through this!! I wish so bad she was here to give Jon a hug! I can’t imagine what he is going through after losing his mom and now his baby!!
3:30 am Jon went back outside. I don’t know if he will get any sleep or not! I am so grateful for his support and love towards me through all of this!! 6:00 am Dr. Ridout came in and asked if I would call jon to have him come back in here. So Jon came in for him to talk to us. The brain test has shown no activity since he hooked it up last night. He told us that there was nothing more they could do for him. It was now up to Austin and Heavenly Father as to what the outcome would be. He told us we needed to make a decision if we were going to pull the tubes and let him go. I knew deep in my heart this is what needs to be done but its just something you don’t want to have to do to your baby! 7:00 am Our little trooper has fought an incredible fight the past 12 days but Heavenly Father has decided his work on earth is coming to an end. I need everyone to stay strong for Jon and the girls. I hope they don’t suffer a lot from it. 9:00 am They just did a final brain test that is more accurate. It showed the same thing - no brain activity. It breaks my heart.
1:00 pm The doctor just pulled in all the family into Austin’s room and explained everything from the time he was born up until now so they would understand what happened to him. I am so thankful he was willing to do that so I didn’t have to try and explain it a thousand times. I am so thankful for all the family being here the past couple of days and for their support. I probably don’t say it to their face enough but they will never know how much it means to me. I just wish my sister Annie was here. I know how bad it is hurting her not being able to be here with the rest of my family. 2:00 pm Every member of both mine and Jon’s family that is here got to hold Austin today and say their goodbyes. I didn’t tell my girls he was going to die until they got to hold him. I feel like the worst parent in the entire world. Nancy is too little to really know what is going on. But Mylee started sobbing. I don’t know what to say to her to help her understand it fully. I wish so bad that I didn’t have to break her heart. Austin is the 5th grandbaby in Jon’s family to be born this year and what she said to me broke my heart - “why does Tammy, Chana, and Misty get to keep their babies and we don’t?” How do you tell a 5 almost 6 year old so they can understand? She doesn’t understand the plan of happiness fully. She doesn’t understand that even though we don’t get to keep him on earth that eventually we will see him again and be able to hold him. I HATE THIS!!!!!!! I wish it only affected me and noone had to suffer! Anyways......my family and Jon’s family took our kids and went to the park so they didn’t have to be here when we pull the plugs.
2:12 pm Jon is holding him for the last time. Oh how this breaks my heart to see his heart hurt so much. plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-67444554503937829802011-09-17T15:38:00.005-06:002011-09-17T15:49:01.174-06:00Labor Day Weekend<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3L_9hFEXiEd2IAHHItxzVDqFCrc7St2Wh4RWMJSM89dYAjo0nOY8WXk4Tt-JOnGP4niHdX0wNNHIFEYW3Z7SZEubXvaK-aX_C9fMhD2lyj6nHihyphenhyphen7X1YiKf0CEo8P3UocDIp6TzlSGh0/s1600/IMG_4416platt+family.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Everyone got up there Friday night other than mom and dad. They had a couple of set backs (dad in charge of a funeral Friday afternoon and then grandma Beryl taking a trip to the hospital unexpected). Jon didn't join us this weekend cause he went out with his family elk hunting to try and help them get their elk. But the kids had a lot of fun playing in the sand box. We missed seeing Annie and her family as well. Rulon & Tam came up Saturday morning to tell the family their sad news of them getting a divorce. Hope all goes well with both of them. But we just visited and enjoyed the fall air up there. It was a great weekend and was a blast. Thanks everyone for making it enjoyable.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-17918183089907796572011-09-17T15:31:00.002-06:002011-09-17T15:38:51.123-06:00Girl Weekend Out July 29 & 30thI have no pictures to go with this post but my mom, her two sisters, and all the girl kids and grandkids came to cedar to spend the night at Cozy's and have a girls night out. It was so much fun. Mostly everyone was able to make it. We had an enjoyable time. Some of us got up early Saturday morning and went yard saleing. Then we just sat around and kept visiting. Everyone went home early afternoonish. It was a great memorable weekend that we need to keep doing every once in awhile. But that night when i got home we got the EXCITING news that MEG IS PREGNANT!!!!! WHOO HOOO!!! we are super thrilled and can't wait.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-85175017660848187072011-09-17T15:03:00.003-06:002011-09-17T15:14:58.324-06:0024th of july<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWkWdrQVv6MZrXLCN-Lb2C4XihFrCCb8v36w9mb9Tos73Mfh3BwLiGKTCJ8_f9zpnkmH0DHBhuMEAs1HUD0xJgFt5Uy6KL-5g2OU2gRopPoMOVvllrGRqq-SdDQBvYH8si5wOnS8xJ0G8/s1600/IMG_4143+dad+parade.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWkWdrQVv6MZrXLCN-Lb2C4XihFrCCb8v36w9mb9Tos73Mfh3BwLiGKTCJ8_f9zpnkmH0DHBhuMEAs1HUD0xJgFt5Uy6KL-5g2OU2gRopPoMOVvllrGRqq-SdDQBvYH8si5wOnS8xJ0G8/s320/IMG_4143+dad+parade.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653439470847892594" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxHlzBMzPzzxwLZhH5QhHh6HAgjXIZdPg-yXsNvlf2W_IkhePM984-Hgn3FDoIOhMBAg1GSkggSGMXpKmkcvAMH7OldKx68RWsJB9GEqmh3b7uF4o7aHBSe6Q-6fJhni2bIpnmLqEt5_Y/s1600/IMG_4140sm+group+parade.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxHlzBMzPzzxwLZhH5QhHh6HAgjXIZdPg-yXsNvlf2W_IkhePM984-Hgn3FDoIOhMBAg1GSkggSGMXpKmkcvAMH7OldKx68RWsJB9GEqmh3b7uF4o7aHBSe6Q-6fJhni2bIpnmLqEt5_Y/s320/IMG_4140sm+group+parade.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653439463425299234" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicP2-S_7UMKgQ2wemdQm_-nYAUYOCploXsRhPPgDrPT3zANeFmCLflmsrDNE4-a3OhYTxRb_yZobOp1A49ZV_dSnBQ7cvC0wfEgvGdXgEOykjQoaHchreiaWe-glcQjgXSjoMfMacUmZU/s1600/IMG_4130sm+nancy+parade.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicP2-S_7UMKgQ2wemdQm_-nYAUYOCploXsRhPPgDrPT3zANeFmCLflmsrDNE4-a3OhYTxRb_yZobOp1A49ZV_dSnBQ7cvC0wfEgvGdXgEOykjQoaHchreiaWe-glcQjgXSjoMfMacUmZU/s320/IMG_4130sm+nancy+parade.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653438985775646754" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm7NoD-VOpYJyy0VcyB2lP8v07siYMZ8cets1dO9g5gWfnx87NgVM2m0LfqVGtzZ1qXjLXiNCbdyHQ15tTm1J9lodw33t1_ymqGL-uNzkTW06h93-rb2p0eeGJGo_l5BbKH4VpQO_8nAY/s1600/IMG_4115+mylee+parade.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm7NoD-VOpYJyy0VcyB2lP8v07siYMZ8cets1dO9g5gWfnx87NgVM2m0LfqVGtzZ1qXjLXiNCbdyHQ15tTm1J9lodw33t1_ymqGL-uNzkTW06h93-rb2p0eeGJGo_l5BbKH4VpQO_8nAY/s320/IMG_4115+mylee+parade.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653438978580919362" /></a><br />The 24th of July was great.

We had over 50 trees down on my dad's property. So we all went up the 4th of july weekend to clean up. WOW!! was it a work out. We stayed up playing cards late at night. Yes COZY WON JON!!! we always have to keep playing one more round just to see if Jon can pull ahead. He hates when he loses to her. It's quite funny. But the cabin looks good again other than there is no shade anymore cause of all the trees that came down. Love all of you and it was a fun weekend with everyone.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-39683211565670295192011-07-21T16:56:00.003-06:002011-07-21T17:10:07.629-06:00catch upSo after we had the birthday party in march, came Easter. We went out to Hamlin Valley. We met Russ and his family out there and also there was mom & dad and Trav & Meg. The kids had a blast playing and the Easter Bunny found all the kids. We had a fun Easter Egg hunt for the kids. It was a good time. Next came Mother's Day. Just want to say thanks to all the wonderful MOM'S in my life especially my MOM. She is the APPLE to my kid's eye. She is such a wonderful example in my life and I love her very much. Thanks to all you do for us mom, we appreciate it. And to Nancy, I wished you were here more and more. Mylee is always asking me if we could go to heaven and bisit (thats how she says visit:) Grandma Platt and Jesus. I wished we could. Anyways after Mother's Day I had girls camp the middle of June. It was fun. The girls tried pranking us but didn't get us very good:) Next was Father's Day. Just want to tell Jon how much i love and appreciate everything he does for us. He is the best husband anyone could ask for. I look up to him a lot and appreciate the example he sets for me and my kids. Our Anniversary was the weekend after Father's Day. We didn't do anything other than we did go out to dinner. It was nice. It has been a good 5 years together. Lots of good memories.

Nancy turned 1 on March 20th. She was so cute. She took her first step the night before her birthday. Her birthday fell on a Sunday so we had her party that night. We had all the family over for dinner and cake and ice cream. The cake was Jon's favorite part. I put him in charge of it. I made the cake and he was in charge of decoratiing it. Well he goes in the girls room and gets in the barn and gets some puppies and a bear. He makes it look like the puppies are chasing the bear. WOW!!! Leave it to Jon to think of decorating a 1 year old's cake like that. We had a fun time getting together and visiting. Nancy thought the money was the best. Look at her face:)plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-34400736315305071482011-01-22T14:32:00.009-07:002011-01-22T14:57:29.049-07:00Catch Up!!So i really need to play catch up to what has been going on in our lives. Christmas came and gone. Mylee got what she wanted - a toy box and play dough. Nancy got a dolly and a turtle with balls, which she loves. Jonny got what he wanted - a GPS tracking unit for the hound dogs, and i got surprised with a new video camera. It was a pretty good day. We spent it in Newcastle until christmas evening and then we went home. It was nice to visit all the family. We sent Leon on a scavenger hunt for his new bow all of us kids went in together and bought him. It was quite comical. He pretended like he didn't like the scavenger hunt but i think he really did. We are now into the new year and are grateful for what the last year has brought us. We have all stayed pretty healthy and cant complain. We recently had Teque and Carter's birthday on the 12th of January and then Jon's birthday on the 15th. Nancy started crawling a couple of weeks ago and is into EVERYTHING!! gosh i forgot what it is like having to keep an eye on a little one CONSTANTLY! Mylee is still in preschool and is loving it. At the first of this year she moved upstairs to the big kid primary which she loves singing the HELLO song. She misses playing in the nursery but she thinks she is a big kid. We have been very blessed. I love my family:)plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-56468504715126447882010-12-24T20:10:00.003-07:002010-12-24T20:28:45.580-07:00Christmas Eve is HERE!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZg3b_UCrOQ26A04dxCaVXxgGVsiFvFinB58XWCDCBHFpAQY2eIQkkHqzo1I2Mqhzo_QvfdSoZ6-XEu_pdYbsr-csxB0uLqGfe3xj85BQ0SUrIKZfjk8vqAHkRRr4SZpZrRMsEOSpMw2o/s1600/P1040547.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZg3b_UCrOQ26A04dxCaVXxgGVsiFvFinB58XWCDCBHFpAQY2eIQkkHqzo1I2Mqhzo_QvfdSoZ6-XEu_pdYbsr-csxB0uLqGfe3xj85BQ0SUrIKZfjk8vqAHkRRr4SZpZrRMsEOSpMw2o/s320/P1040547.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554456086137441634" /></a><br />So Christmas is finally here. Mylee is super EXCITED for santa to come TONIGHT!!! We got over to here to NewCastle at about 4. We ordered all the kids matching pajamas and ironed on their names. They turned out SO cute. Mylee has asked Santa to bring her a toybox and playdough. So we will see if she has been a good girl this year after tonight. Everyone from Jon's family is sleeping over to Leon's except misty and her family. They are coming over early in the morning. So we have a FULL house but it is SURE fun. It is a little crazy though:) We hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and hope Santa Claus finds you tonight...We love you all.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-21258673539594017102010-11-23T18:41:00.012-07:002010-11-23T19:04:48.190-07:00Shark Museum & Air Show<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTd84vwp9XsY3cqkzSc4xrumwxRpJlBMkm5igcUYUwCXMFLNunBbLossC342T_zfBvJTh4Fz_hO_oo1kPckCSt6v4n5X-WJOCld8FvrXRrTVzh6SD7Cb90UxGKp93At_B2bdBn01UxwRQ/s1600/sm+lion+fish.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 162px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTd84vwp9XsY3cqkzSc4xrumwxRpJlBMkm5igcUYUwCXMFLNunBbLossC342T_zfBvJTh4Fz_hO_oo1kPckCSt6v4n5X-WJOCld8FvrXRrTVzh6SD7Cb90UxGKp93At_B2bdBn01UxwRQ/s320/sm+lion+fish.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542931344724607170" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQhuEl5dphlDgwShDOZUoPLvG8cZ6d4ICYhxOZkwfZo1nX3SmOhltuqPOgjCR6yB0A_fiWcERsmPI9MJYEFcPIpbZ8i4hBdb3ihwR1IIohdfE_ZLIMnVEs8D-hBdLw8tbR5VI4-y2r9xg/s1600/shark+teeth+sm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 162px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQhuEl5dphlDgwShDOZUoPLvG8cZ6d4ICYhxOZkwfZo1nX3SmOhltuqPOgjCR6yB0A_fiWcERsmPI9MJYEFcPIpbZ8i4hBdb3ihwR1IIohdfE_ZLIMnVEs8D-hBdLw8tbR5VI4-y2r9xg/s320/shark+teeth+sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542931213433868834" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq6DCnjHzYGbtvQfqXwR0EdvDpNSTnCExAK0wcD0Gw4zTqBFeWGqWI6ETMeKA6I8ZCYKKni0oO4TDsuN9oSChoGi47tsyzLnvce_rISSfJGqB30iZYer7bSS7OvLqNAPIebgVswMMo77U/s1600/jon+small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq6DCnjHzYGbtvQfqXwR0EdvDpNSTnCExAK0wcD0Gw4zTqBFeWGqWI6ETMeKA6I8ZCYKKni0oO4TDsuN9oSChoGi47tsyzLnvce_rISSfJGqB30iZYer7bSS7OvLqNAPIebgVswMMo77U/s320/jon+small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542928472356936706" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjdY5ESsHS4vIllFcPoPJMK6MeAve7J7WPS4OtVEu0uV0Ir_Rd6uIu8SbFOUsSbKx8pQcV2FMvKGfJvMGgVUObQD5lvFJ2zfh6RXg_QjP2vhPB7z7x-7Ko681SgPtEdraSPW3Qy6sAKE/s1600/me+and+girls+small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjdY5ESsHS4vIllFcPoPJMK6MeAve7J7WPS4OtVEu0uV0Ir_Rd6uIu8SbFOUsSbKx8pQcV2FMvKGfJvMGgVUObQD5lvFJ2zfh6RXg_QjP2vhPB7z7x-7Ko681SgPtEdraSPW3Qy6sAKE/s320/me+and+girls+small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542928146354912482" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFeBJTdC2wvzlZihUwdU3ktM0Uwqqw9KoPiBAaRg4M0KWb2t626kPcXigTpWCRb7C5_jEu_7N1MO3ImJpZKTwj2UBSlSiocUQvnvgstuTEC1yj9V2FWiJauGvnG4p9JoiSp2MhbIaJ1Wc/s1600/nancy+small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFeBJTdC2wvzlZihUwdU3ktM0Uwqqw9KoPiBAaRg4M0KWb2t626kPcXigTpWCRb7C5_jEu_7N1MO3ImJpZKTwj2UBSlSiocUQvnvgstuTEC1yj9V2FWiJauGvnG4p9JoiSp2MhbIaJ1Wc/s320/nancy+small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542927848907830386" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ2Tv2CNlW7YmfhpcjoGsv_XAsNDCD46d1rbnfXVpyJ1tgGE88J2_d0be6MfoTUPFqVA6RQMoGF4xrw0G9pyL-q0h5dmhFdWAq5UuJfVbYyWq_wiGc6epJ39suxi-FmkX14klMscyLLPY/s1600/mylee+small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ2Tv2CNlW7YmfhpcjoGsv_XAsNDCD46d1rbnfXVpyJ1tgGE88J2_d0be6MfoTUPFqVA6RQMoGF4xrw0G9pyL-q0h5dmhFdWAq5UuJfVbYyWq_wiGc6epJ39suxi-FmkX14klMscyLLPY/s320/mylee+small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542927686339819970" /></a><br />The first weekend in November we took a trip to Vegas to spend the night. We took Jace and Carter with us. Turley, Misty, their kids, and Karol & Dana went also. We left Friday afternoon after Jon got home from work. We went down to Mandalay Bay to see the sharks which the kids EXTREMELY loved. They got to see Alligators, sharks, lion fish, sea turtles, stinging Rays, star fish, octopus, and much more. Mylee was scared of the alligator. She thought it could get out of the glass cage and get her. After we got done there we went to Circus Circus and let the kids ride all the rides. They had way to much fun. Then we headed to Chana's to spend the night. Her and Casey weren't there but they were so kind to let us sleep there. The next morning we got up and headed for the air show. Nancy wasn't too fond of it cause the loud planes breaking the sound barrier. Mylee liked it for about the first couple of hours and then got tired. The Boys loved it. After that we headed home. It was a fun little family trip. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmShYPo3b1CLV7-RcoLB4Gj8xoyTkjCqQ5FK-zAQD9D-ID28RG6g7ZbiKPFBj1Ygdofna7j_JpaeZ4UZ0JM7QtqR3SBLIhNFUnkfLpYtQk6bdVPzJNahysOzYYhcbckj-venLdtfWAhrU/s1600/SDC10345nancy+sm+air.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 162px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmShYPo3b1CLV7-RcoLB4Gj8xoyTkjCqQ5FK-zAQD9D-ID28RG6g7ZbiKPFBj1Ygdofna7j_JpaeZ4UZ0JM7QtqR3SBLIhNFUnkfLpYtQk6bdVPzJNahysOzYYhcbckj-venLdtfWAhrU/s320/SDC10345nancy+sm+air.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542928704789097538" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBSmpXl8KyQvD5QlQpOtdyboYpYkqbjc0RKopQb5hcX32X535m8ebTOURBPIg52DZ5dv3NHkajWbiKG1Dfm_lK8clNY8Ce3o6kcqHKcT4oWtlMIdVvM_c25yHlFuslOr-y4VnMkindXek/s1600/100_5425helismall.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBSmpXl8KyQvD5QlQpOtdyboYpYkqbjc0RKopQb5hcX32X535m8ebTOURBPIg52DZ5dv3NHkajWbiKG1Dfm_lK8clNY8Ce3o6kcqHKcT4oWtlMIdVvM_c25yHlFuslOr-y4VnMkindXek/s320/100_5425helismall.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542929402408458658" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiibfNT0sz3gePsCqF_SuGO-Ex6zdbFW63x3rBRZwkkqG1ps9uu7kCK8SCsBrAx4US0jvItmwRhQZ0ZzA-Y4YFo_Y7he-Kd2DhKOLgMerQ4KKM_FlE6cF59Ge1odDNWuEd6ioyUxIJVC5o/s1600/100_5427jawsplanesm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiibfNT0sz3gePsCqF_SuGO-Ex6zdbFW63x3rBRZwkkqG1ps9uu7kCK8SCsBrAx4US0jvItmwRhQZ0ZzA-Y4YFo_Y7he-Kd2DhKOLgMerQ4KKM_FlE6cF59Ge1odDNWuEd6ioyUxIJVC5o/s320/100_5427jawsplanesm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542929517938178066" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieVklBrozhHlFekER2yqTeAsX5YeVUukQAZu_-T1F2jhtfNwti0Ct898ZKSwusX8ogzd8wUUWoIKHXfJkfwKCG8uhCbLTtwPUC_GjrAjVYE9H8jNOwpwWKIcYpfUXnQPwOZczA20ucFbY/s1600/SDC10344+mylee+sm+air.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 162px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieVklBrozhHlFekER2yqTeAsX5YeVUukQAZu_-T1F2jhtfNwti0Ct898ZKSwusX8ogzd8wUUWoIKHXfJkfwKCG8uhCbLTtwPUC_GjrAjVYE9H8jNOwpwWKIcYpfUXnQPwOZczA20ucFbY/s320/SDC10344+mylee+sm+air.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542929790061819938" /></a>plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-39063506462111229002010-10-13T15:45:00.003-06:002010-10-13T16:00:28.993-06:00HORRIBLE!!Ok so i am horrible at blogging. i keep telling cozy to just blog for me, but to no surprise she tells me NO. So here i am blogging but i have no pictures with me. Not much has happened with the family since the horrible friday the 13th week. Mylee's forehead is getting better. Nancy is getting big. She has such the cute personality. Mylee turns 3 in 3 1/2 weeks. It makes me so sad how fast they grow up. She gets to go to pre-school starting on her birthday and that makes me REAL sad to think she is that big. Jon has just been working non stop. I love him and appreciate his hard work. I have officially went back to work at the store. It was a nice 5 1/2 months off but school had to start and i didn't have the school kids to cover my shift anymore. I did drop all my afternoon so i only work 3 mornings a week. So its not too bad. we are all doing good and can't complain about life.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-74763803558112390382010-08-29T10:21:00.004-06:002010-08-29T10:42:38.568-06:00Friday the 13th!!!So on Friday August 13th, i woke up and thought to myself- this is NOT going to be a bad day. (little did i know what kind of events would happen in the next week) My mom and annie were on their way driving to Utah so annie could stay a week with us. Well as the day progressed, Nancy started to be more fussy and wouldn't drink her bottle. So i ended up taking her in to the doctor and she had 2 ear infections. Well i thought, that aint to bad. Well that night mylee started to get sick and running a fever. She had no other symptons other than a fever. She fevered all night and into saturday. I had a family reunion and after we got done with it i threw a surprise baby shower for my sister cozy. Well that night mylee was still running a fever. Jon and my dad ended up giving her a blessing. Not but 10 minutes after they gave her a blessing, she jumped off my lap and said, "mama, i no sick. i better" Well sunday was stake conference for our stake. We didn't go to church and stayed home with all my family and visited. Well about 5pm is when it all started. Jon was swinging carter out on the tire swing and mylee was out there. She pushed the empty wooden swing and it went and hit carter in the ear and came back and wiped her out. It hit her in the forehead and split it open to the skull.

We go through this when we comb it too. So i decided right then that we were chopping her hair off for the summer. Jon was working nights and so i decided i would take it upon myself to just do it without asking him...BIG MISTAKE. He freaked. He LOVES the new haircut but he HATES how it makes her look older.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-27077833755723040452010-06-26T13:20:00.007-06:002010-07-17T16:06:30.918-06:00Special Weekend!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpbRvi9fVfLqrB0zyTN3GEv3MMar9p08vXQbdymJd8zj3RW9qLIWSvweuJBV5c0vbv4Pgt2rXTiObm72KJT-rHTLMaZ_XwfRd5LgSzKRRHO2ybqSzUqhCEi5v4xA1dM_i0PqJyB1O-_JU/s1600/jessie%234"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpbRvi9fVfLqrB0zyTN3GEv3MMar9p08vXQbdymJd8zj3RW9qLIWSvweuJBV5c0vbv4Pgt2rXTiObm72KJT-rHTLMaZ_XwfRd5LgSzKRRHO2ybqSzUqhCEi5v4xA1dM_i0PqJyB1O-_JU/s320/jessie%234" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494999735856101282" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWg2CkuLL4o2vvqOwZUIzrSI2XDIPDMwS7FqS8OyQxQ3y0iNL3d8ay2MBIGU-YUhct2bedbdhGkAv9pcqYtXUznaBe0ZcPpboDnfMf2u9CNUpu1zXzXQUn6sdTZvqwaoiMxBVOTHizQKU/s1600/jessie%233"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 218px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWg2CkuLL4o2vvqOwZUIzrSI2XDIPDMwS7FqS8OyQxQ3y0iNL3d8ay2MBIGU-YUhct2bedbdhGkAv9pcqYtXUznaBe0ZcPpboDnfMf2u9CNUpu1zXzXQUn6sdTZvqwaoiMxBVOTHizQKU/s320/jessie%233" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494999679278630546" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6eTxuIAZfOH2uGBfDg7GeMVm6zcGZ-wXW9aETy6CZBFcBc0Ljs3H0lgrsuTFst9ORbs24OKHd605bTBoyUneGD2s_h-5Z9AmZyvuHPDQ8o35GhxmqcvnPhRgH6PfKwHFmPzZFRXV5FcA/s1600/jessie+%232"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6eTxuIAZfOH2uGBfDg7GeMVm6zcGZ-wXW9aETy6CZBFcBc0Ljs3H0lgrsuTFst9ORbs24OKHd605bTBoyUneGD2s_h-5Z9AmZyvuHPDQ8o35GhxmqcvnPhRgH6PfKwHFmPzZFRXV5FcA/s320/jessie+%232" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494999603616913490" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuQuBYNKNsEeUOiWdy2KPd8TT_vxOqcGB08KNTHhyA3Gs_0JT_UVGsm8RmwKrRWM1KKDiFMzmRyIpPMu7Ap-s_arer9mwrhQiB1GRMgugGaLRq9mOlj2QQjbOwt__P3mOieS-sVXXTrxI/s1600/jessie+%231"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 254px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuQuBYNKNsEeUOiWdy2KPd8TT_vxOqcGB08KNTHhyA3Gs_0JT_UVGsm8RmwKrRWM1KKDiFMzmRyIpPMu7Ap-s_arer9mwrhQiB1GRMgugGaLRq9mOlj2QQjbOwt__P3mOieS-sVXXTrxI/s320/jessie+%231" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494999434292232498" /></a><br />I had the most AMAZING weekend (2 weekends ago) in a LONG time. Me and ALL of my old high school friends got together Friday night. I hadn't seen or talked to more than half of them since graduation. It was so good to see all of them. Mylee went to Meg and Trav's for the night (thanks). We met at the Temple and had one of Tiff's friends come and take our pictures. Then we went and did Sealings. It was an AWESOME experience. We were the "daughters" getting to sealed to their parents. They split the 9 of us into 3 groups. The couple that my group was with said they didn't have any daughters, only boys so they were glad we showed up the same time they did - so they could have "daughters". Afterwards we went to Applebees to eat dinner. Then Kari has as AWESOME uncle that hooked us up with some rooms at the Marriott Hotel. We stayed up past 1 in the morning catching up on every one's lives. Woke up Saturday morning and all of us departed our own ways with some of them driving 13 hours back home. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful experience since that was probably the last time we will all be together again:( Especially thanks for the few that drove so long just for the one night so we could get together. I appreciate all of you and for the great examples you have been throughout my life. You guys are WONDERFUL!!!plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-42345774774815908202010-06-01T18:20:00.004-06:002010-06-01T18:25:18.458-06:001st Fishing Trip of the Year<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJd6nrckmkJqpXqd0dcKCaTYUL42zhg0KigyUu0CUOM7cbIheZwu3UCvxgh1OeV1dAfPmxgOJNylfntRe8owW-Hhn4UcL0OFbYMpl_3dXSmEhmxYLHf5X58N_7ocSTe77X0LOPnF6tVAk/s1600/IMG_0732sm+hold.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 144px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJd6nrckmkJqpXqd0dcKCaTYUL42zhg0KigyUu0CUOM7cbIheZwu3UCvxgh1OeV1dAfPmxgOJNylfntRe8owW-Hhn4UcL0OFbYMpl_3dXSmEhmxYLHf5X58N_7ocSTe77X0LOPnF6tVAk/s320/IMG_0732sm+hold.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477964928675031906" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI9ynyTE4WNkv007aKwb85KniMwT2ivVTrMteYedYXE4N76yYtLdpoOzwJ7D3kakz9jMFmsYEz-eq-F27_chPUUXap-g8fxQ-cY_D6MokLhrH1J2fRS7ufGc7hShoPuv3M93OuGeDm-fA/s1600/IMG_0728sm+catch.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 144px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI9ynyTE4WNkv007aKwb85KniMwT2ivVTrMteYedYXE4N76yYtLdpoOzwJ7D3kakz9jMFmsYEz-eq-F27_chPUUXap-g8fxQ-cY_D6MokLhrH1J2fRS7ufGc7hShoPuv3M93OuGeDm-fA/s320/IMG_0728sm+catch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477964923530682162" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjepTtmdqBYE_4eS1Wz-hpCW-bgdej-58zF6g6__9AEe4QttN6k5QRGJIAbsKj7e72vfJail1PvzUtPP0xDG-3b1WxiyqlD0g14_j_9jqI8rgyfnyKtU4bmkug2olUswF1BNHxW4QbaFfc/s1600/IMG_0707sm+nancy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 144px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjepTtmdqBYE_4eS1Wz-hpCW-bgdej-58zF6g6__9AEe4QttN6k5QRGJIAbsKj7e72vfJail1PvzUtPP0xDG-3b1WxiyqlD0g14_j_9jqI8rgyfnyKtU4bmkug2olUswF1BNHxW4QbaFfc/s320/IMG_0707sm+nancy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477964916171566802" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMIGDn47YgDirT_eN8m0kXBXmBqNMWJwDQTaMhJ_7Vah7DNxC_bgNivWzpbd3nFqtCE_qZCb1B7LXgWXDZh0IE1ipDaS9u2Kh3dNDJJKYausG24OyidT9NThNG8GLbOzo5a2Do50Nmbqg/s1600/IMG_0704sm+mylee.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 144px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMIGDn47YgDirT_eN8m0kXBXmBqNMWJwDQTaMhJ_7Vah7DNxC_bgNivWzpbd3nFqtCE_qZCb1B7LXgWXDZh0IE1ipDaS9u2Kh3dNDJJKYausG24OyidT9NThNG8GLbOzo5a2Do50Nmbqg/s320/IMG_0704sm+mylee.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477964918675192354" /></a><br />We didn't do much for Memorial Weekend. Sunday we just went for a ride after church. Monday we woke up and went to Jon's Dads house. We did a whole bunch of yard work, planted the garden and Then went out to the cemetery to put flowers on Jon's moms Grave. After that we met Cozy and Joel up to the Newcastle Reservoir and went fishing. Mylee caught the first fish.

Her dress, booties, and bonnet was made by my Aunt Patsy who put many hours into making it.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-42489233363535583012010-04-10T13:00:00.002-06:002010-04-10T13:07:39.857-06:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcIg-fOPbpJj8XS3eoAH0NB00RVJ06NJMUdUiNUR-EvWXcXCBRZmZKTDkpYsUMwZTdgE59uqt66KobfwPf3Htitk5LxFqKwtQqF6FY8Nmvv7olYJplkPGuW6zHC25er9MDfHpCwPltQPA/s1600/flatten+glow+sm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcIg-fOPbpJj8XS3eoAH0NB00RVJ06NJMUdUiNUR-EvWXcXCBRZmZKTDkpYsUMwZTdgE59uqt66KobfwPf3Htitk5LxFqKwtQqF6FY8Nmvv7olYJplkPGuW6zHC25er9MDfHpCwPltQPA/s400/flatten+glow+sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458586040486559666" /></a><br />here are a few more pics of the little one.....jonny is still out of town and wont be back until a week from tomorrow.

After waiting not so patiently ALL day Friday, Friday Night, and Saturday Morning, I finally got the call to come to the hospital. We arrived at 10:00 am Saturday morning and they got me situated into my room. My nurse - who is the most AWESOME nurse anyone could have asked for - got me hooked up to my IV and got everything ready and made the phone call to my doctor telling him i was there and ready to go with whatever his orders were. He came and broke my water and we waited patiently for things to progress. We played a little bit of Farkle with Jon and Cozy arguing who was playing the "dumbest". But things progressed really fast. I got my epidural when i was to a six plus. They called my doctor. He was there within 5 - 10 minutes and came and checked me. He asked the nurse what i was to before he checked me and she told him and then he checked me and ask her how long ago it was that she checked me. She told him maybe 5 minutes ago and then he said i was to a 9 plus. He told her he would go get changed to get everything ready. Things weren't going good with the baby. Her heartbeat dropped down to 56 right after my epidural and they couldn't get it to go up. My nurse looked at me and said this baby is coming within the next 15 minutes no matter what as the NIC-U nurses came into my room preparing for the delivery. I felt sick inside. I didn't want an emergency c-section. I looked at Jon and the look on his face said it all. He was scared crapless. But i tried to keep positive. My doctor came back in the room and checked me and i was ready to go. I started pushing and before you know it, she was out. It was a little scary but she was healthy and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful baby than what we got. I had her at 4:37 pm. She weighed 6lb 15oz and was 19 1/2" long. She looks just like her big sister but with dark hair and lots of it. Mylee was bald until she was one. She is a good little baby and her big sister loves her to death and can't stop kissing her. We got home Sunday afternoon. Jon hung out with Mylee all day on Monday and left out of town Tuesday. We miss him and wished he was here. He didn't want to go but that's him for ya....willing to do anything to provide for us as a family and I am SO GRATEFUL for him and I LOVE HIM so much.<br />Here are some pics of our newest little addition to our family.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-20164113294859688712010-03-19T19:18:00.002-06:002010-03-19T19:25:38.699-06:00NEW BABY???!!!So i had a doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon and was to a 3 and almost all the way thinned. He told me that he would be seeing me within the next day or 2. Well we just found out that Jon is leaving out of town for 2 to 3 weeks and so i called my doctor this morning to see if he would start me on Sunday if i hadn't had the baby yet. He called me back and said if i start you then it is going to be tonight. The hospital said they had a lot of people to work in over the weekend and that it would be best if i came tonight. So it is now 7 tonight and i am waiting for the hospital phone call to tell me there is a bed open for me to come down. I REALLY REALLY didn't want to be started cause i have just heard horror stories on how long the labor is, but it's either that or not have my husband there with me. So i am a little nervous. But my doctor has great confidence that once i am there and he breaks my water that i will go on my own. So we are praying that is what is going to happen. So hopefully the next time i post you will know if its a GIRL or a BOY!!!plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-88472982898966079422010-03-13T15:15:00.005-07:002010-03-13T17:12:48.094-07:00Baby Coming ANYDAY!!Well this is something that i really don't like to do but these ones of mylee are too cute to not post. I hate putting pregnant pictures of me publicly. I have 11 days left until i am due. I went to the doctor on Thursday and he told me that i would probably have the baby before my next appoint next Thursday so we are patiently waiting. I keep telling myself, Maybe it will come tonight. But its not happening. I am so EXCITED to find out if its a GIRL or BOY!! I hate Jon for not letting me find out but when its this close to having it, it's so much FUN not knowing. Don't tell Jon i said that or he won't EVER let me find out on any of them. Mylee is still insistent that it is a "sisters". That is what she calls it all the time. She says she is excited to hold the baby but we all know her WORLD is going to be ruined in her eyes....Hopefully this one isn't a daddy's kid like her or she wont know what to do having to share her daddy.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnCWQz2lJU3T9cSrpkvwmKS1LgLA71RjqsTFtoV5Vd52CqcX537Sf3dzy79IV2Aml0QOsPh4bXCjscxR_3xUcozHHIzezG3g2x1WNXQ8zBbpycvd3bu-TKXan_NSIUJMiMEOIZV-f1uoI/s1600-h/7x7+flatten+sm+glow.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnCWQz2lJU3T9cSrpkvwmKS1LgLA71RjqsTFtoV5Vd52CqcX537Sf3dzy79IV2Aml0QOsPh4bXCjscxR_3xUcozHHIzezG3g2x1WNXQ8zBbpycvd3bu-TKXan_NSIUJMiMEOIZV-f1uoI/s320/7x7+flatten+sm+glow.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448275731698174050" /></a>plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-29373483123700386812010-02-20T07:43:00.003-07:002010-02-20T08:10:14.020-07:00Slide Fun<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLDOwsqzjgOQywLhYhewp1-Hvw8iPOCmTk78Ig03HJP2ta1l8c8JNnSwtyvUsw6oIsNdfkIRG7unVq0lqKxAMTX5J6sqiKxZX9T9gwrO1Xxuk8_8qbpXLiKk3Rtpo-M5qLD4UrSwYoYoc/s1600-h/IMG_0243sm+face.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 144px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLDOwsqzjgOQywLhYhewp1-Hvw8iPOCmTk78Ig03HJP2ta1l8c8JNnSwtyvUsw6oIsNdfkIRG7unVq0lqKxAMTX5J6sqiKxZX9T9gwrO1Xxuk8_8qbpXLiKk3Rtpo-M5qLD4UrSwYoYoc/s320/IMG_0243sm+face.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440343125785996898" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5PXYNcGHSEkZ8XH-qkmpuA87PKZbGuuTjsxzZWu18KGl1GK6AfWmhLB5MJ8ozz5jPh-CtyiB9aW1fh8l37MvgpvI7pXUr7dQ4EYDMJ5HwB7h7r0b2p1R_ZNWyo1eQqAK1AVX3DXnRNtg/s1600-h/IMG_0217sm+carter+and+mylee.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 144px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5PXYNcGHSEkZ8XH-qkmpuA87PKZbGuuTjsxzZWu18KGl1GK6AfWmhLB5MJ8ozz5jPh-CtyiB9aW1fh8l37MvgpvI7pXUr7dQ4EYDMJ5HwB7h7r0b2p1R_ZNWyo1eQqAK1AVX3DXnRNtg/s320/IMG_0217sm+carter+and+mylee.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440342964540514098" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGdy9s2wQc7rT5N-MsgC4ivR7Y1oo2iYxSOA18LtNXBqxQLECsEBgFijpjbvvLL8QpOhA8FM7PH53UVrmfN0HUTg5BJPgfQN0jpd7Ft8mZtAEUWHeTC1llPBaMlirlJ2c7i48lNUwqdlo/s1600-h/IMG_0249sm+down.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 144px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGdy9s2wQc7rT5N-MsgC4ivR7Y1oo2iYxSOA18LtNXBqxQLECsEBgFijpjbvvLL8QpOhA8FM7PH53UVrmfN0HUTg5BJPgfQN0jpd7Ft8mZtAEUWHeTC1llPBaMlirlJ2c7i48lNUwqdlo/s320/IMG_0249sm+down.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440342837769317586" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPs4Y9UfU4wt1mxu2CWbbri1ty-QtHPRs8pvtLJR6I-hfwBKoo64O3hbROuiWDCtFfPgHNRIcRrHn5Hfi9WVGgLNjbkxiorvwFvElRkoZ_3g8x4EwvVSAq05Xo8dbkoBvTFn2ls9KvUz0/s1600-h/IMG_0230sm+mylee.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 144px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPs4Y9UfU4wt1mxu2CWbbri1ty-QtHPRs8pvtLJR6I-hfwBKoo64O3hbROuiWDCtFfPgHNRIcRrHn5Hfi9WVGgLNjbkxiorvwFvElRkoZ_3g8x4EwvVSAq05Xo8dbkoBvTFn2ls9KvUz0/s320/IMG_0230sm+mylee.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440342596121588242" /></a><br />On February 13th, We went down to st. George to go to the temple with April & Mike and Tyler & Daleece. Cozy met me down there to watch Mylee while we were in our session. She took the kids to the park and let them play. Mylee didn't want to leave. She loved every minute of it. Oh how i can't wait for summer to be here so we can play outside. After we got done at the temple we went out to dinner and then i met cozy and got mylee and her 2 kids so they could go to dinner by themselves. I brought the boys home with me and then had Russ and Lacey's kids over also for a cousin sleepover. Well we all know that Teque is a crybaby and wouldn't stay so it was just the rest of them. The "Valentine Cupid" Came and left each kid a pop, popcorn, and a card with money in it. this is the sleepover that carter and jaylee look forward to every year. It was fun and i am glad they all got to come and spend the night.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-56084963132346520162010-02-20T07:29:00.008-07:002010-02-20T07:42:27.311-07:00sledding and snowmobile<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhum05VFbITJgOl6tc-wr_9mD1Q7xSanxVkzPPTLeUNtt0rlSgXtPpPjwn14AJCyKVGiS-s6h9qOfi6ZCrLsrCpkdmix9NhYMBThvxfylI-jNVXfynUTrm24scu7m1st-nrOwew0DW2nL8/s1600-h/DSC00174sm+start.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 122px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhum05VFbITJgOl6tc-wr_9mD1Q7xSanxVkzPPTLeUNtt0rlSgXtPpPjwn14AJCyKVGiS-s6h9qOfi6ZCrLsrCpkdmix9NhYMBThvxfylI-jNVXfynUTrm24scu7m1st-nrOwew0DW2nL8/s320/DSC00174sm+start.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440335875589352642" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_09G-SLFy2l0NJ3WayxRssvkyICSkwbz0pZ9BsrJwVFzPNmfKUvjJWdXNBs9KkZOKEbg8BnyD4uD3lIHlXKAuP94k7l0hK1ICo2Crb6KDxFZrbxFSKMjrPDG0DprvFVEFm6whJZ270_Y/s1600-h/DSC00194sm+up+close.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_09G-SLFy2l0NJ3WayxRssvkyICSkwbz0pZ9BsrJwVFzPNmfKUvjJWdXNBs9KkZOKEbg8BnyD4uD3lIHlXKAuP94k7l0hK1ICo2Crb6KDxFZrbxFSKMjrPDG0DprvFVEFm6whJZ270_Y/s320/DSC00194sm+up+close.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440335729857258546" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVMEXjuz7os0IDG5h0WQDGpe5W8Y9s8nzYwMR9aYm8BHq24khvuA9fpRJp9Vscz8t20cSl_Z5QatTTRkbyFmqXIiF4owpMkcPh6DNHvwDmMyO6HiBczFpokABB4-kaB4ThZNFc0tR5LIo/s1600-h/DSC00193sm+hill.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVMEXjuz7os0IDG5h0WQDGpe5W8Y9s8nzYwMR9aYm8BHq24khvuA9fpRJp9Vscz8t20cSl_Z5QatTTRkbyFmqXIiF4owpMkcPh6DNHvwDmMyO6HiBczFpokABB4-kaB4ThZNFc0tR5LIo/s320/DSC00193sm+hill.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440335543565910962" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx0x0c6y6dIm_2Aoftve4sE0lQR7-z5lF0_zxZ_tGPsx1H6tR6Uk-Mg7FbeN163jLh88zuyFYuLCVBLgt7iFoDlPAWNYDpdtPEIirUuahib5dSsz0uoczrmluQoxAqApknSwZnybDqwHw/s1600-h/DSC00179sm+snowmobile.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 122px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx0x0c6y6dIm_2Aoftve4sE0lQR7-z5lF0_zxZ_tGPsx1H6tR6Uk-Mg7FbeN163jLh88zuyFYuLCVBLgt7iFoDlPAWNYDpdtPEIirUuahib5dSsz0uoczrmluQoxAqApknSwZnybDqwHw/s320/DSC00179sm+snowmobile.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440335336037231538" /></a><br />On January 30th, cozy and her family came over and brought their snowmobiles. Mylee was so excited to go. They just drove around in the fields by my moms and then they went over on the hill past the corrals to go sledding. Joel would haul the kids up to the very top on the snowmobile and then the kids would sled down the hill. They had a blast. He took mylee a couple of times half way up and let her sled down it by herself. It was the most funniest thing to watch as she would face plant it in the snow when she got to the bottom. But every time she got done, cozy would ask her if she wanted to be done and go home and she would say NO!!! Thanks for the good time she had cozy.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-81733733442887300872010-02-07T19:44:00.002-07:002010-02-07T19:48:13.961-07:00Happy Birthday Mom!!Today is my mom's birthday. I just wanted to do a little post and tell her how much i appreciate all she does for us and tell her how much i love her. She is visiting Annie right now down in Tuscon and isn't home. Mylee is having withdrawals but we have her front room decorated for when she comes home tomorrow. Mylee loves her Nana and it isn't going to be easy for her to share her Nana with this new baby coming. But we love you mom and thanks for everything.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721205808016368.post-59372761204689327892010-02-07T19:10:00.005-07:002010-02-07T19:20:20.504-07:00Jon's Birthday!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeNGE_DPCBwY5Gxsm2Zn0pRqzG9zUPY4dh9k7WmSwRA9JeDbm41YBebVvlHlmT2iaVQkV0SSClWE4n9nE60pDoboga_vGtNXXEWEZP1Y8NMWbXPYTwR9wnQdKb-4Jk6ggkRCdANEgM5_8/s1600-h/GEDC0069sm+presents.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 288px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeNGE_DPCBwY5Gxsm2Zn0pRqzG9zUPY4dh9k7WmSwRA9JeDbm41YBebVvlHlmT2iaVQkV0SSClWE4n9nE60pDoboga_vGtNXXEWEZP1Y8NMWbXPYTwR9wnQdKb-4Jk6ggkRCdANEgM5_8/s320/GEDC0069sm+presents.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435689711708065538" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHSivDg0_DJ1NZxXKDsa4ILuMZBABAMijGRMhj68iKRazzQ3lewIdhVfx8S4tdu408g5y3nbg4vYIkLg-_OpHtmbcU0vASwb_zR6d_AVf_0LvhlejD2JBlzN_ZLvA8_ig3yOW4npG-fkQ/s1600-h/GEDC0085sm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 288px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHSivDg0_DJ1NZxXKDsa4ILuMZBABAMijGRMhj68iKRazzQ3lewIdhVfx8S4tdu408g5y3nbg4vYIkLg-_OpHtmbcU0vASwb_zR6d_AVf_0LvhlejD2JBlzN_ZLvA8_ig3yOW4npG-fkQ/s320/GEDC0085sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435689597473397954" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxoCzjj7WPGCoyR1PigJCzYyyR722ydhiLwJ9tbtgqQcdS5JOoozP0kKnMJON9HavaQsDUSdBSomRlkk9h1d79KHHSiJ6R869ItjMZ8e1dKlZUbup06C7AOrN3IftzXZL8TwTj-KFpmR0/s1600-h/GEDC0088sm+cake.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 288px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxoCzjj7WPGCoyR1PigJCzYyyR722ydhiLwJ9tbtgqQcdS5JOoozP0kKnMJON9HavaQsDUSdBSomRlkk9h1d79KHHSiJ6R869ItjMZ8e1dKlZUbup06C7AOrN3IftzXZL8TwTj-KFpmR0/s320/GEDC0088sm+cake.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435689480151540882" /></a><br />Well I am a little behind updating my blog. Not much has happened since Christmas. Jon's Birthday was fun. He went hunting early on his morning, so when Mylee woke up he was gone. We decorated the front room with balloons and streamers and the Happy Birthday Banner. Then we wrapped some presents for him. So when Jon came home he was surprised. Mylee loved every minute of it. She kept saying Happy Dada!! Happy Dada!! Happy Dada!! I decided to have a birthday dinner for him but had it the night after his birthday. I asked what he wanted for his birthday cake and he told me cherry cheese cake. So i made him a homemade one but talked my mom into making a bikini cake. My dad had got one when i was little and so i talked her into doing one for Jon. So we lit the candles in the cherry cheese cake and him and mylee blew them out and then came out the surprise cake from my mom. He was SO surprised. It was funny. All of his family loved it. He said they were all jealous cause their mother-in-law wouldn't make them a cake like this. We had a good time.plattshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03523717028140267147noreply@blogger.com2
