Miscellaneous School Projects

I don't love saving school projects but I find

if I take a picture of the kids with their project, I can still remember

what they did ;)

Here are a few from this year...

 At the beginning of the year (6th), Emmie's teacher

had them make their own iPhone poster that highlighted the

things they liked.

 This is a book report project Emmie did of one of the 

Diary of a Whimpy Kid books.  It's a school dance.

(I notice that I take a lot of pictures when my kids are

in the pajamas :)

Thanksgiving 2013

We had a great Thanksgiving this year.

We did our traditional thing and went to the Marriott as a family for brunch

and then we went as saw the movie "Frozen"

It was such a great day!

Brittany and I also did our traditional Black Friday shopping :)

We got great stuff!!

Dave's Surgery

It was  rough couple of weeks for Dave but as of this week,

he is back at work and feeling much better!

Here is the x-ray of the bullet behind his prosthetic left eye

before they did the surgery.

 Dave - feeling excited before the surgery

 Here are the souvenirs they took out of his eye.

The bullet is on the left, the clear implant that his muscles were wrapped

around, and his old prosthetic eye.

 He was in a lot of pain after surgery

 The kids came to see him.  He had to spend the night in the hospital

and have his pain monitored.

 He had a pretty gruesome black eye afterwards.

 Boston and Brittany came to see him the next morning.

Boston made him a picture...

 It had a one-eyes turkey on it ;)

 This is a picture of Dave at his 1 week post op appt.

He was still having a lot of pain but it started to improve right after

this appt.  The black and blue was going away and the swelling went down.

 He's doing so well now.  He is pain free and he will have a 

new prosthetic eye made in 2 weeks.

I'm so glad we finally had this surgery done and that he

is "bullet free!"  I really think this will help improve his health!

HERE IS A PICTURE OF DAVE IN SURGERY.  IF YOU ARE 

EASILY GROSSED OUT - DON'T LOOK AT IT ;)

Kailyn's Shower

I have known Kailyn Jackson since she was 5 years old :)

Her family was in my ward for years and I taught her in 

Young Women's, she taught Bronson piano lessons,

and we go way back.

She works with me at Dr. Myers' office and we decided to have a baby shower

for her before she has her little girl.

Here are some pictures of the party.

We filled the sacks with baby items and we

all guessed what was inside.  Kailyn kept the gifts

and the best guesser got a prize.
