Thank You!!!

Hey All! We just wanted to send a huge THANK YOU for the awesome baby gift. Laurel came over yesterday, in the middle of a snow storm, to take pictures of the kids. It took Mikey a little time to open up, but he ended up saying "more, more, more." Katie did her thing and looked cute and peaceful. We can't wait to see the pictures and share them with you. Thanks again for helping us create wonderful memories of the kids.

Love you. Joni and Derek

SLC Night

So we did Temple sq. for fhe the other night.  London loved it.  When she first saw the Christ statue she said " Jesus night night"  So silly.  They had a great time! 

My Brave Little Girl

She is SUCH a trooper! Even the doctors were amazed yesterday at how brave she was throughout the whole process - X-Rays, cast, etc. Stupid chair! She got her leg caught in our new kitchen chair while it tipped back. Luckily Jarom had the day off and could take her to the hospital. AND thank goodness she didn't break it on a growth plate - that would have required surgery. As my neighbor said, "At least she doesn't have cancer or something." Sometimes yah wanna punch people that are positive like that. JK

JONI & DEREK, AWESOME job on baby Kate! She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

High Carb Dinner!!!!

Yummy! Spaghetti and meatballs! It was great and Mikey enjoyed every bite. We think he ate enough, but our floor was a mess after dinner.

Some Pictures of the little one...

Here's Kate in her "pajamas". If you look closely, the pants are a long sleeve shirt on upside down.



Here's Kate in the nursery. She's under the "french fry lamp" as my sister called it. She had to spend some time under a warmer to bring her temp up so she could have a bath.




Here she is... a little angel.



Derek was reading to both kids the other morning.

Eyes open!

Pools suck!

Well, I did it.  Dropped the darn cell phone in the pool.  I went out to pick up a screwdriver off the ground and plop, out slid my cell phone into the water.  I am not sure what I am going to do about it, but I have tried to dry it and let it sit.  Still not working, and I can tell there is still water in the sucker.  I need to call Matt and see what to do with it.  Wouldn't ya know I just bought it a month and a half ago!  Anyways, CONGRATULATIONS to Joni and Derek and Mikey for bringing little Kate into the world.  I CAN'T WAIT for you guys to post some pics of her.  And I can't wait to see her in person, hopefully soon.  All is good here.  Jasmine just got called to 1st councilor in the Beehives at church and she is so excited about it.  Ross still has his cast on from breaking his finger in his motorcycle accident and chose a pink cast of all colors!  I am recovering very, very quickly and can't wait to try and jog someday here.  Well, I guess I need to wait until I get the go ahead to vacuum at least.  I hate waiting.  Love and miss you all!  Tracy

LOVE Auntie Tracy & Uncle Jason's House!

We had a GREAT time playing w/ Grammy, Jazzy, Tracy & Jason last weekend! We missed seeing Ross, though! Kids spent most of the time in the backyard!
Jazzy made Charlise's 3rd Birthday cake! Cute, huh!
WE WANT GRAMMY, WE WANT GRAMMY!
The weather was awesome! We partied at a nearby park, ate cake, hit a pineda (sp?), and had a great time! Darius ate like 5 pieces of that cake. Again, another reason why I should get "mother-of-the-year" award!!!!
