The Wonder Years

Today I was looking through my computer... putting off doing my homework and I come upon a folder that has all of mine and Les's baby pictures so I was trying to figure out what our kids will look like by comparing our baby pictures. We both look kinda funny as newborns (doesn't everyone?) but we definately got cuter as we got older. But I thought these pictures were cute so I decided to post them so you could all see and let me know if you think our kids will be cute when we evenutally have some. I'm guessing our kids are going to be super blonde but hopefully with my complexion.

I love this picture. It cracks me up! Les hates this picture and is so embarrassed when I show people but it just makes me laugh. Below is one of Christy, Marcia and me to even out the playing field. I love looking at old pictures.

Tragic Spill

Today my mom went to get her haircut and slipped on the ice and broke her arm. She slipped on the way into Amie's house (our stylist) and landed on her right side. She was all by herself and had to hobble to the door to call my dad. Well, while she was waiting for my dad to come pick her up she insisted that Amie still give her a haircut. She couldn't move her right arm and she was in a ton of pain but she wanted that haircut! My dad took her to the InstaCare and by looking at her X-rays they told my mom and dad they needed to go to the ER to get it looked at. Once they got the hospital the specialist told my parents that my mom needed surgery right away! So my poor little mom had surgery on her arm and she is spending the night at the hospital.

She broke her ulna right by her elbow. Because the break was so close the elbow they had to put two screws in her arm.

Apparently my mom is a little firecracker. My parent's wonderful neighbor Dan Barrett came over to give my mom a blessing right before she went to the hospital and when they placed the oil on my mom's head she was all "I just got my hair washed!" Then when she asked the doctor how long the surgery was going to take, the doctor told her an hour and she was like "An hour?!" My dad said "You are going to be unconcious!" This was the first time my mom has ever been in the hospital besides having kids and she wasn't too pleased. She claimed she had way much to do and this was wasting her time.

So lately I've been listening to this series of books on tape. It's the Tennis Shoes Amoung the Nephites Book Series. They are really good books. It's about this family who travels through a magical cave and journeys back to Book of Mormon times. The author, Chris Heimerdinger, does a really great job bringing the stories of the Book of Mormon to life. Of course, the books are fiction but he has done a lot of research and incorporates doctrine into the books. The books give you a desire to re-read the Book of Mormon and they paint a picture for the things you are reading. It gives you a different perspective on the events that transpired. I totally recommend these books to anyone. My family loves these books. I listen to them in my car instead of listening to the radio and I'm totally addicted. The author is the one who narrates the books on tape and he does an awesome job. He really brings the books to life. There are 10 books in the series so far and I think the last book is suppose to come out this year. They will suck you in and you won't be able to put them down. Plus, you won't feel guilty for reading them because they are really uplifting books. So if you haven't already read them I suggest you do it!

My Courses

So I know many of your are wondering what classes I'm taking this semester so I thought I'd share. I am taking 17 credits and working part-time doing the nanny thing. So far so good...I think. We'll have to see when all of the tests start rolling around.

I have Physics II and Physics II Lab...no bueno

My Trig teacher is awesome. He printed everyone a packet so that we didn't have to buy $133 book. I love him just for that!

Someone Kill Me!

So as you know school has started and let me tell you what...it sucks! I did, however, get 102/100 on my first math test so that was nice but then today I went to my Antamony class and I feel like my head might explode...

If any of you can name all the bones in skull (cranial) or head (cephalic) and also be able to point each bone out from each view please let me know...I could use your help.

Okay and its not just every bone in your body either. On top of that I have to know everything there is to know abouts cells, tissues, and skin for the first test...this could be a long semester

Back to School...

So I haven't been up to much lately. School started again Jan. 7th and it's been crazy. I took a full plate this semester and so there isn't much time for anything else. I'm taking Physics, Physics Lab, Anatmony, Anatomy Lab and Calculus...I spent my weekend locked up in a room doing homework...no fun! Hopefully I'll have some fun this coming weekend. So until then...

Hooray It's Done!!!

ok it's been updated. There's a lot to catch up on...Happy Reading!!! Next time I won't wait so long that was brutal!
