For Memorial Day we went down to Escalate to visit Grandma Dean with the whole family. It was a little crazy but still fun. The first night me and Devin wanted to sleep outside on the hammock. We went outside and put all of our bedding down except for our pillows. We went back inside until it was time for bed. All of a sudden we heard the pouring rain. We ran outside and got all of our stuff and rushed back inside. Luckily we had dry pillows. That night we slept on the kitchen floor without a air mattress. It was very uncomfortable! It rained every day that we were down there! Luckily we were still able to go slide down the red rocks and we went to Devils Rock Garden. It was just fun to see how much fun the kids were having. The boys were also very entertaining while they were trying to catch a lizard. So even though there were eleven adult, five kid, and two babies in a tiny three bedroom one bathroom house it was still a good time.

Who ever said EASTER was not a dangerous holiday

So for Easter we went to my parents house for dinner. It was so yummy we had Steak, funeral potatoes, pasta salad, fresh fruit, and deviled eggs. For dessert Mary made a truffle, one of my favorite desserts. It was a pretty warm day that day so I was wearing flip flops. So as I was helping and taking Whitney's plate to her I slammed my foot into the bottom of the fridge. It felt like I just stubbed my toe but I knew I had ripped something. I fell to the ground (did not spill the food)with everyone laughing around me. They soon stopped laughing when they realized how deep I had cut my pinkie toe.
Growing up we never went to the doctors so I'm not used to it. It didn't hurt to bad but I knew the cut was deep. All the boys gathered around to look how deep it was and when I herd my dad(the person who never took us to the doctors) say it was deep and we should go get stitches. We then left and went down the street to the Insta Care. They were able to get me right in. I was so nervous about stitches.
I got five little stitches on the side of my pinkie toe. I was so surprised when it was over and it didn't hurt to bad, I thought the worse was over. Nobody told me how I would feel after the numbing went away. I woke up that night every hour it ached so bad.
Well it feels fine now I just have to deal with the stitches for another week and wait to see the Insta Care bill. Who new it would be such an eventful easter.

Grandma Jeans Birthday Party

So two years ago we started a new tradition. Every year on Grandmas birthday all the girls in the family go out to dinner. Each year a theme is picked and we are to dress up accordingly. Due to Grandma and Grandpas new addition to there family (nuisance the sheep), the theme became "on the farm." This was the first year I dressed up and it was so much fun.
We went to Brick Oven for dinner and yes we got the salad bar. It was so funny watching peoples reactions as we all walked through the restaurant. By the end of the night Brick Oven was probably so excited to have us out of there.

Texas

I am so exciting to have a blog! I am not very computer smart so it has taken me a while.
Well life has been good. Last month we were able to go to Texas to visit Garret and Courtney and there families. It was so much fun! We were especially excited cause we knew that Texas is a lot warmer then Utah and we could finally wear shorts and flip flops. Well so much for that, it was freezing cold and very rainy. It was actually warmer in Utah while we were gone. It was just so much fun to see everyone and for Devin to get to know everyone a little better. All of are family in Utah were nervous when we came home thinking that Courtney would move another family to Texas. As of right now we are here to stay.She is so cute! It was raining and she was getting soaking wet but did not care. She actually fell down in the wet grass a few times.So of course they had to find the biggest corn dogs, do you think they ate them all? Nope!Well I guess I did't eat all of my food either. If you ever go visit Texas just plan on gaining 5lbs.

What handsome boys!

Well I know it has been close to a two months since I found out that IVF did not work but I have not wanted to write about it until now.
So they were able to take out 11 eggs but only 2 fertilized. Devin was taking a test the day I went in to have the embryo put back in. Devin was suppose to take the test the Saturday before but asked to postpone because of the egg retrieval that we had done that day. I could not go to the doctors by myself because they give you a valumm after they are done so I had my mother-in-law come with me. When they called me back for my appointment they took me to the doctors office instead of an exam room which made me think something was wrong but I tried to stay positive until the doctor came in and said have you heard the bad new!!! My heart was crushed to hear those words come out of his mouth. We wanted this to work so bad and so many friends and family helped us to make it even possible and it just FAILED!! Dr Foulk told me that my eggs were not good. One of the ones that fertilized was spliting uneven and the other only split once and it should have split six times by that day. So here we are in his office and my mother-in-law and I are both bawling as the doctor is telling me that I will probably NEVER be able to have children unless I use a egg doner or adopt. I was so glad that I had to have someone with me that day I would have hated to be by myself.
I am so blessed!!! I have so so many things to be thankful for. I have an AMAZING family and I dont know what I would do without there love and support. Devin, all my sister that live here in Utah, and my parents all left work early to come and be with me that afternoon. I also have wonderful people that I am surrounded by all day at work who get me through the day. There are so many people that care about me and who have been there to help me through these really hard days. I go to work everyday with a reminder of something I don't have but I try to be positive each day. I am not perfect and am not always as positive as I should be but at least I am trying!
