So, it's my brother Dave's Birthday on Nov. 5
th and I failed to mail his card on time. So tonight I was looking all over for some cool e-card to send him, but I found nothing! I take that back, I found a really funny cowboy that I put my picture as the face, and had the cowboy singing this really funny song. But after typing my message and all the info, they wanted me to pay an outrageous amount, so I decided to do something a little different...sorry Dave. I decided to do something I saw Melanie do on her blog, and do a little highlight on David and why he's so great.
David is the oldest in the family and the only boy. Some may think it's not too bad, but when there are ten girls, you are a bit out numbered! However, David's always been a great sport about it and has been a great big brother. Although Dave may seem pretty tough having been a marine, a bull rider, a great
outdoors man, etc. , he really has does have a tender heart. I've always felt that David would do anything for me. I feel blessed to have a brother who, although he is 11 years older
than me, is so fun to be around and has always been very protective and supportive in all I do. David is also a great dad and has a beautiful family. I just wish we lived closer so we could see
each other more!! David's also been a good example to me of a hard worker and someone who stands up for what is right and good.
I hope you have a happy birthday David!! I love you lots!!
Here are a couple pictures of the man himself!!
Although it looks like christmas, we went to Colorado for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun having all of Jason's family home. All 9 kids were there for the weekend. Besides stuffing ourselves full on Thanksgiving, we also had a mini Christmas as well. It was great!!
Jason with 3 of his 4 brothers, Jordon, Josh, and Joey. They had fun wrestling, playing video games, and arm wrestling all weekend long! (something I realized I'm not quite used to with so many sisters) :) We had a lot of fun!
I thought I would give a quick update on my surgery. This is Jason and I before the procedure with the teddy bear my Dad and Peggy sent me. Everything went very well. The hole was the same size as my sister Becca's, 12mm (about 1/2 in.). Pretty good size. I stayed one night in the new hosptial in Murray. The hospital is beautiful and has huge rooms. And, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, being on the other side of things. :) The nurses were great and Dr. Sorensen did a great job. Jason took some picutres after the procedure, but I thought this one of me was a bit better. :) I'm feeling pretty good and am thankful to have it all over so we can move on with life! I'm greatful the Lord helped us find the problem and fix it when He did. :)
So this is our new toy, a Kymco People 150 scooter!! I never thought I would buy anything close to a motorcycle, but I was wrong! A couple of months ago, a friend of ours bought one and let us ride it...and man was it fun. After much discussion about safety issues, we decided to buy one. Shortly after we decided that we wanted one, a friend of Jason's offered us a great deal on his. He is moving in the spring and can't take it with him. Anyway, we are having a lot of fun on it now before the snow hits. It gets great gas milage (about 80 mpg), so of course that was a big selling point for us. :) We would love to take anyone on a ride, so come visit!!
Don't we look good on it? And don't worry, the helmets are coming soon!
My Birthday was on the 8th and I had a fun day. I actually got to celebrate on several different days, so it was great! My sister-in-law, Jannae, made the cake for me and it was yummy!!
That night we went to the BYU vs. TCU football game with our friends Erik and Miriam. We won, so it was a lot of fun!
I'm married to Cosmo's biggest fan, so we were excited when we got this picture. Cosmo is a pretty big celebrity around here for those of you who don't know!!
