Male Bonding!

Bruce and the boys had a great "male bonding" experience today. It was so amazing that they were able to coordinate their schedules to go hiking up a mountain called Haystack in Bruce's old stomping grounds. They set out early this morning on their adventure in Kyler's new Jeep (more info in a posting to come). There was a little too much testosterone in one little place for me but they had a marvelous time as you can see on their faces. It was a much needed day away and I am so glad that they were able to go. I love you guys!!!

MY AWESOME DATE WITH LAURIE!!!

We have had such a great time!!!!!! I have been looking forward to July 14th for so long that I can't believe it has come and gone already. I have the best memories that I will share with anyone that wants to listen. Laurie is such a great friend and even though she wasn't excited for the concert, she was a great sport and took pictures the entire time. So much fun!!!! Thank you Laurie!!!

We started our day about noon by watching artists at work. It was so cool!!! and I will never be able to forget that! ever, ever!!!! It will be with me always! Then we ran a couple of errands and went to our motel room. Time went so fast and we thought we should grab a bite to eat before the show so we ran over to Costa Vida. My kids know that I am always so glad that we "got there when we did". About 10 minutes after we sat down, the line in that place was way out the door so I was glad that we got there when we did. We ran back over to our room and got dressed for the big event!!! As we walked over to the E Center you could almost feel the electricity as all the young girls, and their mothers, wore all differet pieces of clothing with David Archuleta written all over them. Everything was amazing and the show was great!!! So much energy in that building!!! I didn't care for Ramiel, Krista and Syesha. I loved!!!! Jason, Michael, Carly, Brooke, David and David. Chikeezie was cute as usual! Brooke did Yellow, it was awesome! Jason did Over the Rainbow, Carly threw in some Heart. Michael was just great and he is such a cute guy. David Archuleta did Angel, Apologize and Lean on Me. and David Cook baby was AMAZING!!!!! He did Wouldn't Change a Thing and BILLY JEAN!!!!!! They sang other things, but those were my favorites. The crowd was crazy when the Davids were performing. I have such a sore throat from screaming and my body isn't working so well. I have to admit I get a little crazy at concerts...any concerts. I just love music and I have to dance and sing...can't help it!

Here We Are Again!

Seth and I are hanging out at the big house again! He is doing well. He had surgery yesterday to place a G-tube in his belly. We will not actually be using that tube for a month and will continue to feed him through his NJ-tube. At the end of July, we will come back for a procedure to look at Seth's esophogus and have the G-tube replaced with a GJ-tube. Then we will be able to get rid of that awful nose tube and start feeding him through his belly. Even though I am still freaked out by the idea, it can't be worse than worrying about the tubes in his nose getting all plugged up and getting pulled out. I am sure there are similar worries but I guess we will cross that bridge when we get there!

Kyler Is Home!!!!

We are so excited!!!!! Kyler traveled home from Brazil, without incident, and arrived into our family's open arms on saturday, June 30th at 11:05am. The electricity at the airport was amazing as our family and many others, watched the escalators impatiently for the sign of handsome young men in suits. Kyler was one of the first ones to come and when I saw his beautiful face high above the crowd, I thought my heart was going to burst. He was quickly enveloped into our family. He met Elliott for the first time and saw our little grown up Miette. She had been so excited to see him but I guess the realization that he was a real person and didn't just exist in the computer or on the wall was a little bit too much for her. She was really shy and kept a close eye on him for quite a while but she loves him now. How could you not? He is a great guy. He has brought such a spirit home with him. He has been struggling to find some of his words in english and I'm sure he is in culture shock but he has been very gracious and patient with us. He gave his missionary report in church on sunday and did a marvelous job! Diane Rigby said the she has only seen a light around a countenance two other times in her life and she saw it around Kyler. I am glad that his light is back with us. We Love You Ky James!!!
