Christmas has come to our house

Finally... we got Christmas up at our house. Since most of you won't see our house for Christmas I thought I would share through my blog. As many of you know, I love Christmas. I love the lights and the decorations. I love the kindness I witness all around me. I love the reason we celebrate it. I have a village that takes all day to set up which has stretched into 24 houses and many accessories. Thanks to Nate, we got lights put up on the house. Thanks to Tradio, we got ourselves our first artificial tree for $25.00. We think it turned out quite nice and it sure was easier to decorate. This way I can leave it up until March if I want! If you read this share your favorite things about Christmas.

He's coming home

Our baby gets to come home today! He gets to come home without oxygen too! We are so grateful he is doing better! Kwinnae is doing a little better each day. It has really been a challenge trying to find some pain medication that she can take and not itch or get sick. Sorry Kwinnae for giving you that challenge! She also said Tyce opened his eyes for a few minutes last night which we have all been anxiously awaiting! Thank you everyone for the prayers.

Our newest additon

oday.

Tyce Zachary was born friday nov 21 at 10:01 am. He weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and was 19 inches long. He has given us quite a scare but seems to be doing better. He is just so tired out from everything he has been through that he just wants to sleep and not eat. So they are watching that close. He is sure beautiful. I just want to sit and hold him all day. I am so blessed. What a miracle life is.

Fall Brings on many changes

I have been so busy and I am not sure what I have been doing! I haven't posted for a month! Part of that is due to having my computer crash! Darn!
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Grandchild #2. They told us it's a BOY! I don't care either way. Just as long as he is healthy.
Jeff is changing jobs at the site. He is moving to a different company, one that is supposed to be more stable. He will start working for Bechtel Bettis as of Dec. 8.
The leaves have changed and so must our lives but as each leaf falls a new one will take it's place!

Fall Pictures

On Thursday we noticed out trees had recognized the coming of fall and they were beautiful so I coaxed Kayloni to go out and let me take her picture. I think they turned out great!

Archery Camp 2008

We finally got to go camping last weekend. Jeff, Nate and my dad all went archery hunting. It rained a lot and they didn't have any luck but I had a marvelous time just hanging out in the trailer. I even scrapbooked 10 pages. I was very excited. Tiandra came and spent some time with me at camp. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

My Dad is 77 and still Archery Hunting!

My dilemna

I work 3 days a week in a dental office in Blackfoot Idaho. I have the perfect schedule, Monday - Wednesday 8:00 - 5:00. Doesn't get better than that. I am learning a lot of new things since my experience has been in the medical field prior to this. Kayloni is playing on the Blackfoot JV volleyball team and has matches every Tuesday and Thursday evenings and tournaments every other weekend. That pretty much sums it up. I have piles of pictures to do for scrapbooking but can't seem to get motivated again to work on them. I don't seem to find/make time to pay bills, talk to my familyon the phone, work in my yard, read my sunday lesson... the list goes on and on. I need some help. I'M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS! HOW CAN I GET MORE DONE IN A DAY and motivated to SCRAPBOOK?

California!

I got the awesome opportunity to go to California for Angela and Cesar's wedding. I went with my sister Chaunntel. It was such a great time. We were able to go to the Newport Beach Temple and the San Diego Temple. They are both so beautiful but my favorite was the San Diego Temple. It was fun to see where my Aunt Lorie lives and to see California. Talk about beautiful! Special thanks to Dave and Lorie for helping make our trip so much fun and definately and forever memory.

Crane Family Reunion at Lava

We spent the weekend in Lava for a get together for with Jeff's family. We had a good turnout considering we only planned it a couple of months ago. We missed Doug and his kids and Bob and Mom, Kris, Devin and Derek and Kristin and Breanna. But everyone else made it. At times we had over 30 people there. The kids had a wonderful time floating the Portneuf, jumping off the platforms, going down the slides and playing volleyball. They all voted to make this reunion an annual event and they want to do it in Lava again! Thanks to everyone that were able to arrange their schedules it turned out to be a great time for everyone.

My New Job

Well it has been 3 weeks at my new job and I am still feeling like I don't know anything. The dental field is a whole different world than what I am used to so I am able to learn so much. I am working an ideal mon, tues and wed from 8:00 to 5:30 and then I am done for the week. Can't beat that right! I work for Dr. Von Kunz in Blackfoot so if any of you are in need of a good dentist and want to come to Blackfoot, give me a call. Haha. Just can't wait for the day I feel like I am trained!!!
