YES, I REALIZE MANY OF YOU HAVE GIVEN UP ON ME! ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS 3 KIDS! WOW I AM A BUSY WOMAN THESE DAYS! I REALLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START WITH THIS BUT HERE IS A BRIEF RUNDOWN OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN OUR LIVES IN THE PAST 9 MONTHS.....
- DECEMBER - MIKAEL GRADUATED FROM BYU - I IN NURSING
- JANUARY - SO SICK OF BEING PREGNANT, EXPERIENCED KIDNEY STONES AND MY FIRST KIDNEY INFECTION! BABY #3 IS SHOWING AN ABNORMAL HEART BEAT - SCARING MOM!
- FEBRUARY - EXPERIENCED 2ND KIDNEY INFECTION AND COAXED MY DR. INTO STARTING ME 2 WEEKS EARLY! THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT - EVAN ELIZABETH WAS BORN WEIGHING 8LBS. 6 OZ. WHEN SHE WAS BORN MY NURSE SAYS, "FORGET MILK, GET THIS GIRL A STEAK!" SHE WAS SO CHUBBY! WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE CAUSE FOR MY KIDNEY ISSUES, SHE WAS SITTING ON THEM!
- MARCH - LOVING BABY AND THANKFUL THAT HER HEART IS HEALTHY! I TURNED 27 (UUGH!) AND SICILY TURNED 5
- APRIL - WHOLE FAMILY STILL TOTALLY WRAPPED UP IN BABY! SHE IS THE BEST EVER! MIKAEL IS BUSY WORKING AT THE HOSPITAL AND SPRAYING FERT. AND ELDER'S QUORUM AND SEARCH AND RESCUE AND TAKING A COUPLE MORE CLASSES AT THE COLLEGE...OH, AND FIRST RESPONDERS CLASS...YEAH, WE DON'T SEE HIM MUCH THIS MONTH! SICILY FINISHES DANCE.
- MAY - DYLAN TURNS 7! WE CAN'T BELIEVE IT! TRIP TO UTAH WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS, FIRST CAMPING TRIP! PRESCHOOL GRADUATION!
- JUNE - SCHOOL'S OUT! RAIN, LOTS OF RAIN! WHICH I DON'T MIND BECAUSE THAT MEANS NO SPRAYING FOR MIKAEL! DYLAN'S BASEBALL GAMES! I RAN THE TETON DAM RELAY, WHICH IS ALWAYS FUN ( EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT VERY PREPARED!)
- JULY - YAY! HERE WE ARE! WE ARE LOVING THE SUMMER WEATHER AND MIKAEL IS LOVING HAVING SOME TIME TO FISH! I HAVE THE BEST BABY EVER! SHE IS HEALTHY, FAT, AND HAPPY! OUR COUSIN COLBY HAS NICKNAMED HER "HEAVY EVVY" WHICH I MUST SAY HAS A RING TO IT, BUT CANNOT STAY! SHE IS SO GREAT! WE HAVEN'T SLOWED DOWN A BIT AND SHE IS JUST HAPPY TO BE ALONG FOR THE RIDE! WHAT A GIRL! MIKAEL IS EXCITED TO BE AT EIRMC ON THE CARDIAC FLOOR AND TO HAVE A 3 DAY WORK WEEK! (HE IS DREAMING OF ELK AT NIGHT) IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE HE HAS HAD A FALL TO HUNT AND I AM EXCITED FOR HIM TO NOT BE IN SCHOOL! HE IS GETTING READY TO APPLY TO GRAD SCHOOL THIS FALL, BUT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS SMALL BREAK.
WHEW! SORRY, THAT WAS LONG!
