Our trip to Arizona

I drove for 10 hours with 3 kids and a dog to Arizona for Thanksgiving. It makes for 2 really long days of driving! We had a great time with our family and friends, but it is always nice to be home. Corey took most of the scenery pictures, she says she wants to be a photographer when she grows up. She did a great job!

Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. It seems like it is the only time of year that everyone makes the effort to get together. Plus we get to have eggnog pie! YUMMY!!!! We were missing some people though. We had about 46 this year. These are just pictures of people that we saw and that were at our dinner, I am sorry that I didn't get pictures of everyone that was there.

Standin' on the corner

When people ask me where I am from and I say Winslow, AZ most often they will say, 'Hey didn't the Eagles sing a song about Winslow?'
Since we were in Winslow for Thanksgiving we decided to do the touristy thing and stand on the corner!
I was born and raised in Winslow and most of my family lives there. http://www.winslowarizona.org/Visiting.htm

Intermountain Medical Center

Two weeks ago the hospital that I worked at closed its doors and we moved to a brand new hospital. There are a lot of changes involved with this move. We have had to merge our staff with another hospital's staff, new management, new schedule and senority, not to mention all the little things that just aren't the same. Change can be a good thing but I am having a hard time adjusting. Each shift seems to be slightly better than the last but it still isn't great. I love being a nurse but right now I dread going to work. This is a picture of the building I work in, it has 15 stories and the ER is on the lower level. There are 5 different buildings, each with their own specialty, such as the women's center, heart and lung, cancer center, etc.

Hopefully things will improve quickly and I will be happy to go to work again.

My cousin, Stacie, and her husband Isaac have finally been blessed with not one, but two babies!

Born Oct 27, 2007 about 12 weeks early, they both weighed 2 lbs 14 1/2 oz.

The boys will be in the NICU for quite some time but they are making great progress. Now two weeks old in these pictures, they have been taken off the ventilators.

Congratulations! I can't wait to see them.

I took Colton to Brighton this afternoon to pick up his season pass. He can't wait for the season to start. He thinks the world revolves around snowboarding!

I went to Phoenix this past weekend and met my nephew Caden, born August 17. What a cutie! My sister in law Stacey and her husband Ryan are the proud parents.
