We got eggs

the big egg is a normal sized egg

We found our first 2 eggs on Saturday. We are so excited! They are tiny, little brown eggs, but they'll get bigger each time they lay. when they all start laying then we should get about 10 a day. We'll have to share because we can't eat that much.

Bradley

On Thur. June 4th Bradley graduated from high school, and on Sunday June 7th he was ordained an Elder by his Dad at church. We are so proud of him and the choices he's made. He had a lot of support and friends come for these special occasions. We had a BBQ and movie night with all of our family and friends, We want to thank all of you for your love and support. WE LOVE YOU BRADLEY!!

One of our friends from Leeds past away last week so we went to St. George for his funeral on Friday. So wierd that someone our age could die from congestive heart failure. David was a great guy he always knew how to make you laugh, he had his own out look on life. He was always living on the edge. We will miss you David, You were loved by many!!

Brian's Crash

Brian had a bad crash on his bicycle at the skate park last week. He was doing a really big jump and he came down to far forward on his handle bars and landed on his shoulder/neck. Brandon called me from someones cell phone in a panic and told me to hurry and get here, "Brian's Hurt, he can't remember anything!" So Brad and I hurried up there and he was a mess!! We brought him home and he couldn't remember anything, not going to school that day,the day of the week or the date, not going camping and hunting a few days earlier. It was really scary, Lane and Melanie came over and Brad and Lane gave Brian a Priesthood blessing. We waited for about 3 1/2 hours and he still couldn't remember anything, He was very upset and keep saying things like "I'm so confused, I feel like I'm in a dream. He was pretty scared. So we took him to the ER and had a CT scan done. They said that he had a moderate concussion with amnesia, a couple of broken ribs and lots of scratches. They prescribed his some pain med. and gave him a Doc. note for school and gym. Brian is feeling alot better, he remembers everything except for the crash. His ribs are still very sore and he walks a little crooked because it hurts to stand up straight. We are very grateful he is ok!! It could have been alot worse. Hopefully he learned a lesson and will wear a helmet from now on. I have seen kids from the neighborhood who saw him crash wearing helmets I think they all learned a lesson, We have had lots of concerned parents calling and checking up on him.

Happy Mothers Day!

I hope you all had a nice Mothers Day! I also want to tell my family that I love them and am greatful to be the Mom of my wonderful family!

Brookie

Brookelyn has been a very sick little girl! Last Thursday she woke up for school and said that her back was hurting. I thought it was just from doing back bends and jumping on her friends trampoline, when I picked her up from school her back was really hurting and she had a tummy ache so she came home and rested for a little while before her softball game. We went to her softball game and were only there for a few minutes before she wanted to go home. She had a head ache too. So I gave her some Medicine and put her to bed, at 4:00 am she started throwing up. Friday she stayed home from school and slept all day, Saturday she got a fever of 105, it would go down to about 102 when she had medicine in her, throwing up all day, she was absolutely miserable!! Brad gave her a priesthood blessing. Sunday I stayed home from church with her and just tried to keep her cool, she would complain about being really hot and want a cool rag for her head then she would be freezing with blankets piled on her, Still throwing up. Monday Brad and I took her to the doctor and he confirmed what I thought it was, She has a kidney infection, which he said is not very common for someone her age. He gave her an antibiotic and said she might be able to go to school on Wed. Tuesday she was miserable.Well Wed. came and went and she was still miserable , throwing up, high fever, the antibiotic wasn't working. The Doctor called to check on her and said to give her until Friday and then we'll decide what to do. Thursday morning the fever is gone and Brookelyn wants to eat.Yay! She is feeling alot better today and we are sooooo happy!! Our little Brookie lost 8 pounds in 7 days. Now that she's feeling better we'll have to fatten her up. She only weighs 57 pounds. I'm going to keep her home from school tomorrow and help her get caught up on her homework. Hopefully she'll be back to her fun little self again soon! We Love our sweet little Brookie, She's just an angel and a blessing in our home, her brothers have been very loving and helpful in taking care of her. I want to thank all of our family and friends who have been praying for her.

Well it's that time of year again. Brandon is playing baseball and Brookelyn is playing softball, They've both had about 4 games. They've lost some and won some. I get to drive to practices and games every day but Sundays, aren't I lucky? They both have 3 games this week, hopefully Brad and I can split up so that they each have someone to watch them. I really enjoy watching their games, it's alot of fun to watch them improve and have more fun each year! Good Luck Kids, Love You!

Brian's Car

Check out the car we bought for Brian while we were in Leeds for spring break. It's a 1961 Buick Lesabre. It fits Brian's personality so well. He's always loved old cars and didn't want a "normal car". The inside of it is pretty cool, it's all origanal and in pretty good shape. It has 66,000 original miles on it.








He ran out of gas while driving it around after we bought it, We had to go rescue them.





This is what he wants to paint it.
