Funny Allie

My creative daughter has started her own blog. Allie's Blog. She is so funny in her insights and things.

I get to go back to work tomorrow. Not really excited about that. Oh well, I gotta do something!

Hi Family,

It has taken me forever to get into the system. When I decide to write, I can't remember my password, so Karla has to help me. Anyway I am enjoying looking at your pictures. Keep them coming!


Mom

This Is For Posterity

I found this video clip from 2004 and it's priceless. My 2 year old son learning to head bang from his daddy.

Thank You!

Mom & Dad--thank you so much for being willing to drop everything to drive an extra 2.5 hours for your crippled daughter. I know driving up from Bluff to Cello to Blanding to Cello back to Bluff couldn't have been fun or entertaining in the least.

It never ceases to amaze me what you two are willing to do to help one of us out. Thank you from the bottom of my bulging disk and my heart. I love you both so much.

Oh, and

Happy Birthday Wendy!!
Sorry you're feeling crappy. I love ya!

Hey Crew

Well, I messed with the blogger template again. I should just post once in a while. Who knows? Maybe no one reads this thing any more.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Mom. I love you.

I have a new goal/project for the year. I stole it from Kassie. I'm going to post one picture a day. Nothing great or earth shattering, just working on my photographic technique and in a few years these posts will make me laugh.

Anyway the addy for the pic a day blog is http://theviewfrommylife.blogspot.com/

Love you all!

YAH!!!

Way to go MOM!!!

I love you!

Ain't He Cute!!

This is our new family member, Indy. He's cute.

Oh, and I love the fact that I only have one mortgage now. It is so nice. There is a big framed picture of the Jordan River temple I was going to buy after we got some $$. So, I went to deseretbook.com today and was going to order it. It said "free shipping" but then the "large or irregular item surcharge" was $55. Killjoys. I'm gonna have to wait until I make it up to happy valley for something else. I am not paying $55 for a surcharge. Call it what it is!! Shipping!! Free shipping misleading ads. GRRRRR

The Devil Made Me Do It

Yup, had to put the John Deere background on, just for a while.

I'm FREE!!!!!! I only own one house now. Sooo Schaweet!!

Now on to the crazy stuff. Have to have an ultrasound tomorrow to figure out what's going on with my insides. They're not working right. And due to the DES cancer link, I think I'm going to campain for a removal. Now my only hope is that my uterus weighs 35-40 pounds. That'd help a bunch!!

Love you all!

Finally!!

I'm leaving the office in about 10 minutes to go close the paperwork on the old house!!! WOOHOO!!!! I'm gonna throw a party!

WOOHOO!!!!

We got a signed contract to sell our house yesterday!!! We're not getting as much as we had hoped, but we're not losing anything, either. We'll finally be done with it! This is such a relief. Last night Jim & I went on our weekly "date". We walk the trash can out to the road together each Tuesday night and talk and hold hands and stuff.

As we walked back and turned the corner and could see our house, we both just stopped and looked at how pretty it was in the night with it's lights glowing.

I asked him, "Does it feel different to you, too?"

"Yep, it finally feels like it's ours. Without worrying everytime you drive in if you're going to end up losing it."

We couldn't be happier.

Hello Lovely Family

I thought I'd give you something to make you all smile

http://www.lovelylisting.com/

Truly heartwarming to see how bad it can really be.

Can't wait to see you all this weekend!
Love ya!

Ane Martine

I'm posting for my technologically challenged sister. She wanted to post some pictures of her beautiful new baby, but wasn't sure she remembered how. She also wanted to wash the cover on her baby swing and had to have my help to get it off, too.

But, I digress--Ane Martine Crane arrived April 10, 2009 at 9:35 pm weighing in at 6 pounds 3 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long. She's beautiful--Mom & baby are doing great.

First we have Dr. Black--It was a madhouse!
Then we have "Dr. Crane"

Here she is!!

Here she is getting footprinted.

She was wide awake and curious as she could be.

Here is Grandma and Ane.

Figuring out what the tongue thing is.

Ben and his girls.

Congrats!! You did good, Wendy!! I love you.

I love you Mom!

I just want you to know that I love you. My mind keeps racing back and forth with the "what-ifs" and the "NO-WAYS"! I am so greatfull for the the testimony you have taught me throughout my life..having an understanding of Heavenly Fathers plan brings so much peace and comfort in these times. However, I am so scared to see you in any pain or discomfort. I can't imagine anything slowing you down! You are so amazing and I will put up a good fight to keep you here longer..I hope you will put up the same fight! Seeing what you can accomplish here its no wonder Heavenly Father would threaten to use your talents "up there"! Be strong like I know you are and know that I love you with all my heart!

Pics on my blog!!

Check it out!
Whew, I'm glad that's done.

Where Is He??

Kas

Where's my new nephew?? I'm ready to meet him. Hurry up will ya?? I'll lend you the Beast to get things going if you want--That should help.

Love ya!! :)

And In This Corner!!

Peyton had a wrestling match in Blanding on Thursday. I wasn't expecting much because he'd only had one practice so far and when he wrestled 2 years ago, he didn't do so good.

Here's Peyton before he realizes I'm taking pictures...

Here's Peyton after he notices me....

First up--Clayton Young. The son of Tim & Sidney. Here's how it unfolded. Peyton is in the t-shirt & red shorts. Clayton is in the girls' swimming suit. The ref lines them up..

He did really well. He even looked like he knew what he was doing.

Right up until he started choking Clayton down...

I think Peyton was having a good time--not so sure about Clayton.

I think he even had him pinned but the ref wouldn't call it.

But he smiled through it all--who wouldn't when you're winning.

And the final score was....

Then his next match was a kid from Whitehorse. Good thing I got the camera out early. I only had time for about 3 pictures--probably a good thing because sports gym pictures are horrible to take and look crappy no matter what you do.

They lined up and got ready.

Within about 10 seconds this is what it looked like...

Peyton pinned him in about 15 seconds. He was so excited. Here's the shot of the victorious hand raising (note to self..position yourself better. Lousy angle!)

So that was it for our fun exciting evening of wrestling. Nothing else new & exciting here. Love you!

:::Sigh:::

Guess what we had for dinner?? I'll give you a tip I bet you didn't know. If you want fluffy scrambled eggs, add about 1/2 tablespoon of water per egg and mix. Water, not milk. I know, sounds weird, but trust me on this one.

Karla, I love your pictures. I think we should have a huge egg throwing contest or something like that! Actually, I think I should call all these people in Bluff and see if they want some eggs. I have been busy painting in the main living room, I wish I knew how to do pictures so I could put one on the blog. The rooms look really nice and clean!
I haven't much to write about, except to say that I remembered my new password, so now I can add a note or two.
Love to each of you. Mom
