Goodbye Facebook

I had to say goodbye to facebook because it is just too addicting, and everyone knew way too much about everyone's business. Since I am a prickly pear (according to Mike) I decided to just log off forever. Actually, I am having some withdrawal, but it is great to not know everyone's business all of the time. Can you imagine what the neighborhoods would be like if we actually got to know the people living on our street, or the next door down? I took some cookies to my across the street neighbor last week. We have been across the street neighbors for almost three years, I didn't even know his name until last Saturday. Pretty lame. What about those lame ". . . " statuses? Those sure get people going in one way or another. hahahaha! Well, until next time . . .

I just did a . . . HAHAHA (evil laugh)

Summer that never got mentioned

This summer was full of so many fun and hard things. Since I am not the best at keeping up with this, it is happening at Christmas. We spent Pioneer Day in Nevada, at one of my most favorite places in the world. There is always a spirit of gladness, tons to do (if you like adventure and dirt), and family. A great memory for my kids is that we were able to follow some wild mustangs! Truly! My uncle knew just where to find them. My kids still talk about it. We also went to Antelope Island for the first time (that I can remember). It was really fun, we saw a bunch of Bison and got to talk to an artist who put one of his works on the island for people to enjoy. It was really cool. My kids called it a "gypsy boat". There were solar panels on it so it could power a freezer. If you were tenacious enough to go out in the field and look at the art, you would be rewarded because there were fudge pops in the freezer. It was really fun. Also, boating at Jordanelle, picnics at Silver Lake Flat (where we were too close to a mama moose), sisters day out, Lehi Round-up, and so much more. It was a great summer.

So, Who is your alter ego?

Wonder Woman is my alter ego and has been since I have memory of myself. My favorite thing to do was eat my lunch and watch WW on the TV after kindergarten. Of course my awesome "super" mom made me an awesome WW suit to go along with my fasination. I have a rather large collection of WW items. Most of these things are in storage, but someday, I will have a place to put them where I can admire them on a regular basis. So, who is your alter ego?

Hemihypertrophy

I recently found out that my little guy has a condition called hemihypertrophy. There isn't a lot of information about this out there. I have found a good website though. Right now, he seems to be doing great and I am hopeful that everything will continue to be great. We are scheduled to get MRI's done still. There is a lot I don't know. Besides getting an ultrasound every three months to check for tumors on his kidneys, and getting his shoe modified to help him not be uneven, I don't really know what else to do or even what to ask? If you have any suggestions or know anything that would be helpful, let me know. For now, we are just laughing it up watching him. He is a crazy social little guy.
