Korts Heart appointment

Kortney went in for her heart appointment. She is having a little problem and looks like she will need to have her surgery within 6 months. Her Aunt Ashley came with us to the appoointment and it was a good thing. Mommy had a hard time getting the news that the surgery would be so soon. Kortneys little heart has one side getting bigger then the other and so the Doctors feel that it would be best to do the surgery sooner then later. The pictures are from her EKG which looks bad but it didnt hurt her besides holding her down and taking the stickers off. The ECHO was hard because she had to sit still for over a hour while they took 170 pictures of her heart. I know that it's better to get it done sooner then later, I just wish it never had to be done. My baby is going in for open heart surgery and I'm a little scared. I know all our family will keep us in their prayers and thank you all so much for that.

Carving Pumpkins

Pumpkin carving

Ohhhh the fun of pumpkin carving! We took a trip to the pumpkin patch and got to see the "great pumpkin" the kids had a lot of fun trying to pick the perfect pumpkin..though Kort got a little side tracked watching the man walk around with a pumpkin on his head! We got home, and wala, started the amazing, messy carvings. They all dug in and had a fun time picking out the insides. Kylie is getting more creative with her carvings, Kassidy is all about size (her's was the biggest), Dallas wanted scarry, and Kort just had fun. Even though it was messy it was fun!

A Day at the Park!

Sunday at the park!

So instead of going to church today I decided to take the kids to a park that we went to when we lived in clearfield. It has a great playground and then a awsome pond/creek that you can feed ducks, geese, all kinds of birds! This was a first for Kortney and she was so amazed and had a blast, she almost got bit because she would hold the bread till they would take it from her. I kept telling her "throw it Kort". Dallas had a blast and kept laughing at one that had a mo-hawk. We talked the trail and had a great day, one of the best since we have moved back here to Utah. As I watched my 4 children hold hands and skip along the path my heart took a picture (and so did my camra). I need more days like this one!

My Kentucky Peeps

Thank-you Kentucky Peeps!

I want to make a post to tell all my Kentucky Friends thank you for all you did for me. I found out what "home" feels like and have missed it since I have left. I meet some great people and life long friends during my short time there and know that I came there to have all of you apart of my life. You are all amazing people and will never forget the time I got to spend with all of you.

I cherish all my friendships that have taught me how to not give up, that I'm stronger then I think I am, and that one day I will have that respect, love, and joy in my life that I have missed for so many years. I truly don't think I could get through these times without all of you,

So let me tell you all thanks so much for your Love and the examples you are to me.
I LOVE YOU ALL!
