Braxton's 16th Birthday

Braxton is such a good kid and we are so proud of him and glad he is in our family!! He has been into basketball cards lately so curt had a great time finding the perfect wanted cards on ebay for his Birthday. He loves the Mrs.Fields chocolate chip cookies so we ordered him a big one for his special day and then we ate at his favorite place to eat the olive garden with family.

Can not wait......

For our cruise.... to just relax on a warm beach.... eat whenever or what ever we want..... sleep in or not sounds DIVINE!!!

Mine and His christmas tree

Curt finally made his sport tree this year up in his sport room with his 2 favorite teams the Yankees and Steelers....I thought it was cute!!!
My tree still needs a few more things on it but we love sitting in the living room just looking at the lights!!

Halloween 2010

Kambree was tinkerbell this year...It was a cold rainy night to go trick or treating but she LOVED it and kept asking to go to more houses.

18 years ago today...

Curt and I were married in the SLC temple for time and all eternity 18 years ago!!
Nothing makes me love him more then too see him take care of us, play "get you" with every one of his kids at one time or other(the boys are a little too old for that), Wake up early to go to work and provide for us, coach his boys in baseball and basketballl, talk with a teenager about friends and even girls :0), correct the kids when they are not respecting me, not matter that the house is not perfectly clean with a 2 year old around, read stories to little nursery kids that are sitting on his lap, making breakfast for dinner almost every wed. night, ect. ect. there are so many things i can't list them all those are the ones just off the top of my head :0)
Sorry i couln't find an old wedding pic to post on this computer!
Happy Anniversary Curt... I love you!!!

He made each of his grandkids and greatgrandkids feel like they were his favorite!!! He loved everyone no matter there background!! He was a great example to us and can't wait for the day that we get to see him again :0)

Poor Curty :0(

yesterday he finally had surgery on his foot that has been killing him for ALONG time now!!! We got there checked in paid our copay, talked with a nurse about his current medications and signed informed consents, changed into the infamous gown and cap, the nurse came back to start his I.V. and told us the anesthiesiologist will be in and the Dr. Curts fear was that he would wake up in the middle of the surgery and feel pain but not be able to speak. The Anesth. Dr. said don't worry we will have you in a deep sleep and your Dr. will numb the arch of his foot really good and to not worry about that. Then the Dr. came in and marked the left foot with an arrow and a yes on it. They weeled him back and said it would be about 45 min. then they would come get me. They were right and he was awake and alert but still groggy when they brought me back to recovery Drinking a diet coke :0).
We didn't stay there long before I got him dressed and the boot on and we were gone. He did o.k. at home just tired and was still numbed. He thought by taking his ambien and a pain pill he would hopefully sleep all thru the night but not so much... He hobble into the bathroom at least twice with the crutches(thank you nana for letting us borrow them). When he woke up at 6;30 a.m. he was in alot of pain!!! Up until then it was managable (pain) with only one pill every 4 hours. He is hurting so bad tough today he will take 2 every 6hrs.
We know the first couple days are the worst so just pray we can get thru this :0)
I feel so bad for him and really hope after it is healed the pain is gone!!!!
