10 Amazing Years!!

I can't believe it!! We have been married for 10 years today, we have moved 9 times, had 8 different jobs, lived in 7 apartments, owned 6 vehicles, gone to 5 concerts, had 4 amazing and wonderful children, lived in 3 different states, bought 2 homes, and been on 1 trip to disneyland.

Life has been full of twists and turns, but overall LIFE IS GOOD! I feel very blessed to have Micah by my side. He is seriously so AWESOME! I couldn't imagine my life without him and I hope we have many many many more years together!
I love you Micah!!

My sister-in-law is super crafty. She is doing a workshop on making cards. They are awesome and the thing I like the best is that they are gender neutral so you can send them to anyone.

Check out her new blog at craftynat.blogspot.com for details!!

My friend Amber has just also started her own business and has very cute things for sale! She is having a give-a-way and these cute applique shirts are up for grabs. Check her out at http://simplesayings4u.blogspot.com/

Josie

Today was the first time Josie sang the musical number in Sacrament meeting. She sang a duet with our cute neighbor Kimberly. They sang "Search, Ponder, and Pray." It was fun to accompany them. They practiced so good. However, Josie was singing a solo on the 1st verse and she mixed up a few of the words with the 2nd verse. She was awesome though and jumped right back in at the chorus. It sounded great and she recieved many compliments. Josie shed a few tears of dissapointment at first when she sat down, but was fine after primary. What a good girl she is.

Speaking of Josie, she got to go on her first "daddy-daughter date" for activity days last month. They had such a fun time. Because I was in charge I got to be there and see them interact. We ate dinner and played a few games. I couldn't believe how excited the girls were to be with thier dads. I was bummed though because I forgot to take my camera! I did snap these pictures afterwards though!

After the date, he took her out for ice cream and took her to Walmart to buy her her favorite movie, High School Musical 3!! She was one lucky girl!

Good deals!

**Just a quick update on Lacey first. She got off the oxygen last Tuesday and is doing great! We were so happy to loose the oxygen tank. It was a pain.

I didn't take a picture, but I should have because I got such a great deal at Smiths today. I got 3-200 count napkins, 3 tubes of Colgate toothpaste, 3 quaker quakes, 2lbs of cheese, 1 box of lasagna noodels, 2 bottles of Tylenol, 3-2 liters of Root Beer, 3 bags of chips, and a couple of non-sale groceries and spent over $80. However, after the sales and coupons, I spent $32.77. That's right.....I saved $51.62. A 63% savings!!! Yikes, I love getting a good deal!

We're HOME SWEET HOME!!

I love these picture because you can totally see a smile behind that binky!! She was so good in the hospital, but was SO ready to go home and get in her own bed. They released us Friday afternoon with an oxygen tank, breathing treatments, and a ton of information. She will stay on the oxygen 24/7 atleast until Tuesday.

This is us as we were saying good-bye. Notice I totally put a cute bow on Lacey to go home. :-)

Thank you so much for all of your love and support!! We really appreciated the prayers, phone calls, babysitting offers, meals, packages, flowers, visits, ect. The love shown to us was incredible. We are so thankful to be home. Last night Lacey slept over 12 hours straight! Who doesn't love their own bed??

Another update

I don't have time to do the pictures and everything, but just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and concern. Lacey is still in the hospital, but doing a little better everyday. The doctor said that it is safe to say that she has "turned the corner." It was sad to hear him say yesterday that "she is the sickest baby we have seen this winter." Too bad we had to be the unlucky ones!

Hospital pictures

Here are the pictures from the hospital. These were taken on Saturday and it was the 2nd day we were there. She has been so exhausted that she has slept most of the time.

I left for a while to take a shower and have a break and I was so excited to hug on her when I saw here again.

Luckily my mom was able to come and help too! She was there for 24 hours and really helped us out! Thanks again mom. You are the best.

Thank you so much to all those who are praying for her. She isn't doing too much better yet, but we are starting to see little signs of improvement. More updates to come....
