I HAVE WHAT!!!!

Over the last couple of weeks I have been going to all my doctors doing the check up thing, I do it around my birthday so I always remember when I last went. My Neurologist had me get an Echo cardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) to see if I have anything wrong causing my migraine, which is still an unsolved mystery. My primary and I decided to try different things for my joints; because I feel like my Rheumatoidologist doesn't know what to do or just doesn't want to do it, (can't seem to figure that one out, mom you know what I mean.) He wants me to have and MRI done. I still need to see my Gynecologist to discuss the dreadful cramps and lumpy breast tissue (I am to the point I think I want a biopsy done.)

Which brings me to the most devastating new I have received in all the appointments, it was at the dentist. I have four cavities!!! Two are old fillings "leaking" and he said weren't my fault because ever couple of years they need a tone up but two are new and thus my fault. I was so sad I almost started to cry, but my dentist is the best and he made me feel better. He and the assistant were making me laugh (or rather snorting because I had hands in my mouth so laughing was a little hard) so hard while they were filling my cavities I had to have them stop so I could catch my breath. We came to the conclusion it is because of all the soda I drink at work at night. So because of the horrifying news I am no longer drinking soda and so far so good. I just hope it can last!!

Pictures

For Christmas my sister in law got Richard and I a gift certificate for pictures. The day it expires was also our anniversary, so we got all "dolled" for the pictures and then went out for dinner. The photographer Vikkie was great, she was funny and kept things moving.

Here are the results....



I do have to say it went really fast and we didn't have many choices to choose from but I think they turned out ok. Richard is smiling, I know it doesn't look like it but that is he smile. Anyway I hope you enjoy!

4th and fireworks

As I said before the 4th of July is my favorite holiday and after the adventure at the animal sancturary we had dinner and FIRE WORKS!!! Now remember my mother in law just moved into her place, day 2 and we are making noise with fire works.

Richard Teaching Gabe how to safely light a fire.

As I said before save the best for last, all of the kids, me and Tiff with sparklers.

HAPPY 4th OF JULY

GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!

Ceader City for the 4th

The 4th of July is my favorite Holiday because of all the history behind it. This year we went to Cedar City to help my mother in law move. It was a lot of fun to spend the weekend with Richards siblings and all the kids. Still don't want any of our own yet, but it was fun to play with theirs.

Here are the two youngest waking Richard up and when I sat down to do my make up they stopped what they were doing and wanted to do what I was doing, it was like a kid magnet.

We moved Debi over on Friday, and on Saturday we went to the Best Friend animal sanctuary. It is a two hour drive through a beautiful canyon and a red rock canyon. We didn't make it for the last tour which goes to the dogs, cats, and birds but we had fun with the goats, potbellied pigs, and horses.

The Potbellied pigs had a sign on their cage that said we eat fingers. WTF?

Here are all the kids with poop pick up bags on their heads. What it was like to be young.

Snake River Pictures

Here are some pictures from our Snake River trip, sorry it took so long.

Me, Richard, and Sammy went up early to get the good camping spot and hike the Tetons but it cost $25 just to drive into the park, so we just looked at them from a distance!

Here is Lunch counter, the biggest rapid on the Snake. It doesn't look that bad right? Oh it wasn't, it was the under tow that was bad. I still closed my eyes, held on tight and prayed to make it out a live!!!!!

Here is Daddy the day after he almost didn't make it out of the river.

Here is Aunt Kimmy, she came out with us last year and had a blast. It is now becoming one of her yearly traditions with us. We love having her and miss her lots and lots when she leaves.



Sammy and Richard were in charge of the fire wood, which was scary!

Look at him swinging a hatchet into another hatchet that Sammy is holding, crazy two.



Here is our camp site with all of our friends just chilling and eating dinner.

It was a blast just hanging out with the family and friends, and I really can't wait until next year. We have already made our plans for next year, mid July hopefully it will be a bit calmer but still big rapids for the fun of it.

Two Years Together.....

On June 30 Richard and I shared our 2nd anniversary. It hasn't been easy with all that we have had to deal with but we are still together and going strong and that makes it all worth it!!!!!

Here are some pictures from over the years
