Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!
This is definitely my favorite time of the year, I love the giving spirit and happiness that seems to surround us during the holidays. Well I guess it is time to play catch up once again, I seem to be having a hard time updating this blog, hopefully I can be better at it. Anyways, Shawn has had yet another surgery which was the day before Thanksgiving, they cut the bottom eyelid off and took a skin graft from his upper eyelid and then sewed it closed, which will stay that way for three weeks he is on the final week now, which he cant wait to be able to open his eye again. They also ended up taking out a titanium plate that was under his eye, it had came loose apparently and was poking outwards, they also had to file down one of the implants that was holding the eyeball out. When his three weeks are up they will go in and do a minor surgery and make a new slit in the eye and then he will have to keep going back for a while to get steroid shots into the new eye tissue, OUCH! Hopefully this will be the end of this long journey, but only time will tell! He was also ordained a High Priest last Sunday at our Stake conference. Karlie is enjoying her job working with "Tucker" at West Weber School, she really does a great job. She is getting ready as well to start school up at Weber State in January. KayCee is doing great in school and loves the social life as well, I swear I have never heard a phone ring so many times! She also spoke last week in our Stake Conference at the tabernacle and did a wonderful job. Shandee still keeps winning the competition at the youth rodeos in the Pole bending, the girl wins more money than you could believe. She also has started roping, her partners is a kid named A.C. he is from Wyoming and is Deaf, they do a great job together. Kynedee is still keeping me running with soccer, her comp team took 2nd place for the entire spring and summer league their team has really started playing great together and are now playing indoor for the winter to keep in shape at the 12th street indoor complex, the funny thing is they play against boys that are 2 years older than them and it has really made them step up their game and play tuff, the team calls Kynedee "Crusher" because she has no fear of the boys and loves the ruff play that comes with playing boys. (Hard to believe little shy Kyn has turned into Miss Ruff and Tuff.haha) We also went to PMC hospital for her check up and seems everything is about where it was last year but we have to go down next week and have the big MRI done which will give us exacts, so we will see. Hadley is loving kindergarten and can read up a storm. His teacher told us that he is Brilliant. And that their is probably nothing that she could put in front of him that he could not do. He has made a lot of new friends. He is very excited for Santa to come, he informed me that all he wants is a laptop, Nintendo ds and a touch phone. I asked him if he thought Santa was made of money! Hope he wont be to disappointed on Christmas morning, haha! I am still working for Utah Custody doing supervised visits and exchanges between parents, they have asked me to start working for Cragun Lawfirm as well now so I will be starting in January. Shawn and I were also lucky enough to get to spend 9 fun filled days in the Western Carribean in October, with our friends the Craguns, we had a BLAST! It was just what the Dr. ordered. Well that's about it for now, I hope you all have a magical Christmas full of family, friends and loved ones.
