Thanksgiving Weekend

 

Thanksgiving weekend was a busy one!  Wednesday the schools in Heber were out so I helped at Sunny Day Preschool and Daycare. I packed my bag that night so I could spend the next three to four days in Sally Lake. I was excited to see my parents and sissy.  What I never planned was just how accustom I'd become to Heber City 's clean fresh air.

We spent Thanksgiving with our family at my parents place in Taylorsville. That evening Heidi 

headed  home as I settled in for a weekend with my parentals. Friday dad had to run mom to work because since her accident she hasn't been able to drive. So we dropped her off and headed to village inn for breakfast, my treat. It was nice to have time with my dad alone. It made me realize just how much I miss him. I was able to spend time with Kman and sissy that afternoon as well. 😄

By that night though I was pretty darn wheezy. I spent the night tossing and turning cursing the nasty City air. By Saturday night I was so wheezy I ditched our Christmas concert Heidi and I had tickets to and begged to go home. After three Albuterol treatment s in a matter of a week I finally sound better. I'm thankful I was able to see my love ones even if it resulted in a horrible asthma attack and three treatments.

Forgotten Carols

So we have this amazing tradition that was started over a decade ago. Every year we get tickets and attend Michael McLean's beautiful concert the Forgotten Carols. Because it's been such a rough year we opted for the Heber City concert and went with a few people here.
  As always it was an amazing performance with a great cast. As we left Michael and his family all gave Heidi their deepest love. It always leaves us feeling like we came make it through anything.

Here comes Winter....

I have spent the last two winters in Ogden, Utah. I was attending Weber State and lived in a duplex a few blocks from campus. Ogden gets cold but never real frigid. I learned to layer and called it good. Now I live in Heber and Heber gets cold. The rule here is that the kids go out for recess until it's 10 degrees. So our first major storm hit yesterday and I got a little taste of just how nasty it gets here.
So I invested in boots that go down to -32 and got water proof insulated gloves. Brought down my long johns and other things to layer. We were suppose to get somethings done in Salt Lake, but we got snowed in... Today it is absolutely beautiful.  Go figure, well Jack Frost bring it on!

24 hour Stomach Bug

Ask anyone who truly knows me and they will tell you there is nothing I hate more then throwing up. I work two jobs and together that's close to 60 hours a week. Both jobs are with kiddos too. I work for J R Smith Elementary School as a title one aid and then at my sister's daycare. When I worked before at a daycare in Murray I had a stomach of steel. then the last three in half years I've been working on my bachelors. Now I have to regain that stomach of steel.
  A bout of a stomach bug has been floating around the valley and Tuesday night my stomach was really blah. By 8:30 pm I was running to the bathroom every 20 minutes. I fell asleep by ten and was in the bathroom vomiting a hour in a half later. You know your sick when you fall asleep on the bathroom floor and call your sister on your phone who is a room away to bring you a cup of water.
 I spent all Wednesday between my room and the bathroom and sucking on saltines. My stomach is still a bit raw and the sight of boo berry cereal makes me queasy.  Hopefully I get that stomach of steel soon because this chickadee doesn't want to be that sick again ever!

Party Time!!!!

Happy 29th Shany!!!

We can never be serious...

thank goodness they didn't have 29 candles...

I couldn't pick a better sister!

this would be better if kman's head wasn't chopped off...

waaaats up?????

Boo

I love these two

Because my birthday was on a Thursday Hoho and I went to Salt Lake Friday night. We were able to watch a movie with the family and visit Katie and the kiddos!  I miss being near my family but love Heber City and my job. Hopefully I will get my licence soon and I will be able to visit more often.

twenty-nine will be divine...

Now having a Birthday on a holiday usually means I have to work or when I was in school go to class. The only time I get my special day off is on a weekend. So I came to work welcoming on the hyper kiddos and day of trying to keep attention on a lesson. I arrived to a cupcake and card from my coworker Nikki that just made my day. That afternoon she had her kindergartners wish me happy birthday. It was a nice day and I cannot wait to visit my family this weekend!
