Pray for Jeremy!

My nephew Jeremy was in a horrible accident early yesterday morning. He is hurt really, really bad and is in critical condition up at the U of U hospital. His dear friend was killed in this accident. They were hit by a drink driver. Please, please, please NEVER DRIVE DRUNK!!!!!! Jeremy had surgery yesterday to remove his guts from his lungs and put them back in place. His pelvis is also broken. He had surgery again today on his arm. He will have to have more surgeries and has a long road physically and emotionally before he recovers. Please pray for Jeremy and his friends family. Remember to hug your kids and tell them you love them and most importantly DONT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!

Carter turns 5!

Carter turned 5 on February 17th. This was a 3 day celebration! The fist day was a family dinner party. He got some amazing gifts!





The 2nd day (his actual birthday)we went to his favorite resturant, Empire Chineese Buffet and then to Jungle Jim's.














The last day was a friend party. Not many were invited, not many showed up, but Carter had no clue. All he knew is it was his party and he was soooo happy!

Are you here to take my husbands job?

Part of the company Ivan works for is moving to the Philippines. They have sent a team here to be trained. Ivan is training them and it has me really freaked out. I think they are here to take his job. Ivan has survived several layoffs and if he teaches these people his job what will he do? I am a worry wart!

We took them to the Myan (bad food awesome atmosphere). They absolutely loved it! We had a blast and the kids were treated like gold by them. They adored our children! They put all of their focus on the kids. Usually we spend all our time making the kids be good, but not tonight. These people wanted to hear the kids silly storeys and jokes. So it comes down to this... If they are here to take my husbands job, at least nice people will get it.

I am back on the evil diet so all I had was lettuce. Such a joy!

This was my favorite part!

Leo with the kids.

Jannabee and Janika
Elvis (yes his name really is Elvis) and the kids.
All done eating (I am still very hungry).
Janika being crazy!

Morgan was with us, but we don't have any photos of her for some reason. Whitney was at work.

They will be here for 2 month. Tonight we took them to the first KFC. They were so excited to go. I guess KFC is a big deal back home.

Going Privet!

I hate to do it! Really I do!! The time has come for me to go privet. Just some really creepy things have happened over the last year and I just can't deal with it anymore. I am just tired of worrying about it. So if you would like to keep up with us and our family. Please leave me a comment with your email address or email me at karolynn4@comcast.net. Hurry! Next week I will be privet!

The Big 37!

Yesterday was my 37th birthday. It was a great day! I had so many phone calls, emails, facebook messages and gifts brought over. It all made me feel so special!

The best part is Ivan got Bryce and Renee to come over to tend the little kids and took me to The Roof! My favorite place! Whitney came too. It was a very special night!

The best birthday ever!

Christmas was great...

Christmas was great! My parents came for our traditional breakfast (breakfast casserole and cinnamon rolls). In the evening we went to Ivan's parents for dinner. It was a wonderful day!
