Happy New Year!!

Danni this is for you. I don't know how to take a picture off a post so I put a bad picture of myself up. Let me tell ya it was hard to find a bad one of me cause I am so photogenic. HAHAHA No it was hard cause I am always behind the camera. I can't remember what Kym and I were doing that day but I look like a cancer patient.
Happy New Year!

Dad's crash

I just threw this pic in cause it was so cute. I came in and she was wearing Taybee's jacket.

Dad got in a little fender bender yesterday and here is the aftermath. It was not his fault he got off the road as far as he could and she still hit him. They are both okay.













Christmas at Sunshine and No No's 2008

We were very lucky this year we had two Christmas. In Escalante we had a full house.
Dad and Mom
Grandma and Grandpa Gleave, Uncle Arby
Me, Kym, Devyn
Tempe, Rayce
Brittany, Karter
J.S., Rhett
Danni, James, Taylie
and don't forget Leeda the dog.
Then on Christmas day the Woolsey bunch came over for dinner. Dad said there were like 30 people in the house that day. Wow!

A picture is worth a thousand words so here is like fifteen thousand words.





Mom and Dad's Jazz hats. They have really good seats to a couple of Jazz games this year, like second row seats. So Lew got joking around saying they should really dress up for the games. I tried to find some "fancy" hats for them but I couldn't so I made them some. We wanted a top hat for Dad, but I just don't know were Lenza shops. It fell apart as I was putting it in the box to wrap. Lew is looking for a monocle, gloves, a fan, and "fancy clothes" for them to wear.





















Sunshine and No No this was for your photo frame

The big idea:
Have the kids hold a WE LOVE YOU sign for the digital frame. The reality the kids would not cooperate, then we left for Salt lake. Some day this may be on your frame.
Karter did a really good job of listening.

Rayce tried


Dev was in her own world and Kym threw a huge fit. Complete with a half hour time out.

Not a good idea to try and get four kids under four to sit in front of a tree, smile, and look at the camera.

More about my heart

I am beginning to wonder if ol' Doc Sorensen really put a second device in my big heart. I have had a tiny bit of squeezing, some shortness of breath, I almost passed out the other day when I blew my nose . (I have a big nose too) But this is nothing like the first one. I am just wondering if he gave me the second shot of drugs and then told his staff that he would not be putting another device in and when I go back for my check ups they will all be in on it to.

I am just kidding I know that he put it in cause I feel better than I have in a very long time. I feel like I should get up and clean, cook, exercise, the reality is shortness of breath and a racing heart. Which is prob not a good thing right after heart surgery. When I was in the hospital when I would get up and go to the bathroom the nurse would come in every time and say 'Your heart rate just shot up are you okay?" By about the 5Th time it was kind of a joke but they still had to check.

Long story short I am just taking it easy, milking this for all it is worth. I have taken advantage of my Mom, Dad, Brothers and Sisters for almost a week. The good thing is Lew will be home tomorrow and I can take advantage of him for at least a few more days. (get your minds out of the gutter) Okay I won't be to mean cause the first day he is home he is so tired that all he does is sleep. I would too if I had just worked for 12 hours then drove 8 more.

When I get home I will try to scan the picture of the devices and see if I can post a picture of it. Most people are like so what is this.

Santa visits us at Sunshine's and No no's

We were lucky enough to have the old man in red stop by Grandma Sunshine's and Papa No no's last Sunday night. we were just about to eat when we heard a knock on the door and a Ho Ho Ho. The door opened and there he was Kym and Devyn instantly started to scream and cry. Rayce did to but later calmed down. My girls would not get off my lap the whole time he was visiting. He was nice enough to bring them blankets and goodies bags.











Bet ya can't guess who Santa is.

My holy heart is plugged

I write to you from my hospital room. Today around 11:00 AM I went in to have my second heart surgery. As always I have to be a challenge, what usually takes about 1 hour took and hour and 45 minuets. Because the first catheter putting the second in was a challenge the first one made the angle weird.

I feel great! After the first one I had a migraine today no problem. A month of no heavy lifting and my football career is still on hold for about a month or two. I know what you are thinking my super bowl ring is still a distant dream maybe next year. {{wink wink}}


MERRY CHRISTMAS

Up all night

December 16, started out as a normal day both girls were more cranky than usual. I put them to bed around 7:30 cause they were so mean. By 8:30 Miss Dev was up and vomiting. About every half an hour she would start to moan and then it would come out. It didn't take long until she had the dry heaves. But she wouldn't eat anything. It was about midnight when she finally calmed down and went to sleep. Then it was Kym's turn just after one she was up and vomiting. Luckily she is old enough that she knew what was coming and was able to hit the bucket. She was up till after 6:00 AM then she calmed down and went to sleep. Dev woke up a few times during the night. On an up note I did get a few things done and the girls only were sick during the night. They were tired and cranky the next day but no more puke. I was able to sleep from about 7:00 AM to 9:00 Am. I am still tyring to catch up on my sleep.

edited- I forgot to tell you that i also called poison control that night. Remember the wonderful flowers that Lew and the girls sent me? Well while I was putting them in a vase Dev decided to eat the floral block (the green Styrofoam). She only ate a little bit. I didn't call poison control until she started throwing up later that night. Just for your information Styrofoam is not poison and plant food is made from manure, vitamins and minerals. Not harmful if swallowed. Also when flowers are shipped they use a small amount of bleach but no enough to harm a child. They use the bleach to kill any fungus that might grow on the flowers. The stuff you learn when small children put anything and everything in their mouth.

Christmas flowers

Lew and the girls sent me flowers for Christmas. How sweet is that?
Then sent 12 from Kym and 12 from Dev. I love my family. Dev was trying to pose like Kym don't' they look like a happy bunch?








More snow

Kym came home and wanted to play in the snow but first she had to take off her shirt. I am not sure why but she took off her shirt put her coat back on and had a ball playing out side.
