Laundry....may be hazardous to your health

So last Tuesday I was carrying laundry up the stairs when all the sudden I felt a popping in my back, and I couldn't really walk. So I went and layed down for a min thinking it would go away, and it wasn't, so I got up to take some Advil, and I was standing at the sink and it popped again, and I couldn't move. So I layed on the bed in pain, all the time I was talking to my friend Debbie. So I decided to call Brett and tell him, what was happening. And he told me to go to the Dr if I needed to. So I called an made an appointment and called my friend Candace, and bless her and her daughter, they took me to the Dr. It was her daughters b-day and they were going to Chuckie Cheese, and put it off to take me. So I went to the Dr and after bending and twisting me, he said it looked like I slipped a disk. I was confused, because my back didn't hurt so much as my right hip and leg. He said that was because the disk slipped and was sitting on my nerves. So needless to say, I have never been in so much pain in my life. So Candace took me home and got me medicine. Thanks goodness for pain killers. I hate how they make you feel, but the pain went away, somewhat.
So Brett was in SLC working, so he did the next best thing, he sent him mom over to help with the kids. Candace brought dinner in that night. I can't thank all the people that helped me out for the next couple of day. Debbie and Donna brought dinner in and Laura brought it in another night. My mom came up one morning and help out to.
I am feeling better now. The Dr said it could take up to 2 months to feel better. I hope not. But he kids have been a great help. Colt is becoming quite the little cook and cleaner. He will do any job in the house you ask him to, but don't ask him to clean his room. He does not like that.
Soo... Any way Thank to everyone who has helped out, I don't know what I would have done with out you.

Daddy Daughter Date

Brett and McKenna went on a Daddy Daughter Date on Sat night. It was a 50's theme. So on the invation it said to wear your poodle skirts and for the guys slick back your hair and wear your black jacket. So Brett did just that.

Sand Dunes

We went to the Sand Dunes, or Little Sarha. As we was loading up the night before Sierra started to cry, saying that she didn't want to go. So we called Grandma, and she went and had a sleep over with her, and then played with her cousins the next day. So those of us who went, we had a lot of fun. The kids kept getting stuck, and we would push them out. The next day I was so sore. I was the only one who didn't get stuck, well I got stuck, but I was able to get my self out. Even Brett got stuck on on hill and had to be pulled out. There was a big bowl, that I loved going around and around on. I would take the kids, it was so fun. Here are some picutes from out fun day in the sand.

Winter Camping

Hunter wanted to go caming for his birthday, and we told him it was suppose to snow, and he didn't care, he wanted to go. They have tried for about a month to go camping and have not made it. So they were getting stuff ready, and I didn't want them to sleep in the tent, so I talked him into taking him moms trailer. It is just a little one, but it would keep them warm. So he got it and was glad he did. They just went up Bountiful Canyon, and spent the night and came home. But they had fun. Hunter has now had his first winter camp out. Colt has his when he was 2. He has been a slacker with Hunter. To Cold for me.

Dresses

Any of you who know my mom, knows that she is a wonderful crocheter. As was her mom. I am not sure why I did not pick up on this talent. It must have skipped me. I had a baby dress that was my moms when she was a baby, that was made by her mom, and it was pink. Then I have a purple dress that I wore as a baby that was made by mom. Then my mom made McKenna a green dress and Sierra a peach baby dress, and the thread that she used was my grandma thread. So all these dresses have something to so with my mom and Grandma. My mom volunteers at the Syracuse History Museum, and she wanted the pink dress that her mom made, to put on display, with some booties. My Grandma Barber was very famous for making baby booties. So I donated the dress to the museum. So before I let it go I took some pictures of them. My how we all have grown.

Chuckie cheese

Last night we went to Chuckie Cheese for Hunters Birthday. We had a fun time. It was a little crazy there. SIerra was not scared of Chuckie, until I told her to give him a hug, and she didn't want to do that.



Hunter brought his best friend Nick



I was playing skee ball, and all the sudden I had 40,000 point. I didn't know I had gotten that many, and then it just kept spitting out tickets. I got a 122 tickets. I was so suprised


Even Brett got in the fun. Brett got the high score for the football game.

General Conference

Today McKenna sang in General conference. It was such a neat experience for her. Her favorite part was at the end when Pres Monson waved at them and gave them a thumbs up. She said that a lot of the other general authorities gave them a thumbs up. She was only on tv once, that is if you have wide screen. They showed her in "The Light Divine", kind of at the first. I saw her on the screen, and was excited that we saw her. When we came home, we watched it, and we could not see her at all. We watched it like 3 or 4 time, and I was getting frustrated, because I know I saw her. Then I saw a shot, and it occured to me that in the conference center, you see it in wide screen, so at home, if you don't have wide screen you couldn't see her. So I called my sister, who has wide screen, and she could see her. So Tim, my bro in law got on his computer and you could see her on the Internet also. So she was very excited that she could see herself. So I was so excited that I copied the picture and emailed it to everyone. She could have had a little more time on tv, but the girl behind her wanted her to trade her places, so she did, and that girl was on a couple of time. She was disappointed that she changed her places. but she is ok with it now. She thought is was pretty cool to sing to the whole world. We are so proud of her. This is the picture of her, that you would see on tv, if you have wide screen.

Conference

Just a reminder to everyone, to watch the Saturday afternoon session of Conference. McKenna is singing in it. She is on the left side, 4th row up, on the very end, in a long sleeve pink shirt. It is such a neat experience. WE are so proud of her.
