Sarah

One of my friends from my mom's group was in a car accident and is not doing well. Sarah has a two year old little girl and a two month old little boy. As of right now she is in the ICU and the upper part of her brain is showing no activity, this means she will most likely be non responsive for the rest of her life. The other mom's and I have decided to have a garage sale/ Bake sale on October 25th at 247 E. Handcart Way (8400 S.)Sandy, UT 84070 If you would like to stop by and donate to the sale, or buy something that would be great. Sarah is a great person and my heart hurts so much for her family. Feel free to pass along any info to anyone about the sale. Or call me if you need more details. We will be donating a couch and a washer and dryer, let me know if you want to just buy them now.

Update: Sarah's family made the very difficult decision to take her off of life support and she passed on Tuesday.

Oh BYU!

Our ward had an awsom pie's pumpkin's, and poetry night on Saturday and I decided to wright my own poem and share it. I sang it to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree.

Oh BYU, oh BYU
Why did you fail us again
We thought you would be a challenge
A chance for us to get revenge
Oh BYU, oh BYU
You failed your quest for perfection
The U of U will show the way
To play and win on New Year’s Day
Oh BYU, oh BYU
We want to thank you for losing
You had big dreams of the BCS
And now your program is in distress
Oh BYU, oh BYU
Why can’t you be perfect
Like the U


I think it went really well, but Brad said we now have to move due to the threats we recived afterwards!

California!!!!

So last year for Christmas, by the way I have issue's with spelling the word Christmas, I usually spell it Christmass in fact I have misspelled it in one of my scrapbooks. The reason for this is when I asked my good old dad one day how to spell Christmas he said "It's just Christ plus mass." so for the longest, and I really mean longest, time I spelled it Chirstmass. Anyways back to the post, We got a trip to San Diego California for Christmas last year from Brad's parents and we are finally taking it. Not that we delayed taking a free trip, but this is when it was scheduled. We started the trip a little rocky, our flight was canceled and since all the boy's had 240 dollar tee time's at Torrie Pines we decided it would be best to just fly into Orange Count and drive down to San Diego. The Flight was fine, except Lincoln cryed during take off, Callie cryed during the flight, and Mia cryed during landing, so the Burns family made sure we were known on the flight. The hotel is AMAZING! It's right on the water, and it doesn't smell funky! Pretty much any hotel that doesn't smell funky is great for me. Lincoln had made it his life's mission to not be on the same nap schedule during any vacation as any of the other kid's so that kind of sucks, we always miss swimming with the cousin's.

So we hit up a Dogers game and I guess when we bought the ticket's some one specifically asked for the fight section! It was down right crazy! First it took about a year and a half to park, eventually we all got out and went in except for Grampa and Grandma, they got stuck parking outside of the arena parking because it was too full. We made our way to seats that were so high up I really felt sick like I was going to die, it was really scary being that high, and because we were outside of Utah everyone was drinking and quite a few people had a little too much. In fact one guy went in the ladies room and wasn't even fazed by it. So we are sitting there trying to see the game when a fight breaks out about 3 row behind us and a little to the left, Brad handed me Lincoln and I guess the rest of the family just left, all I know is all the sudden one of the security guards and another guy are falling down a couple of row's of seat's, at this point it just seemed like pure insanity was breaking out. There was like 3 row with no one sitting in the seats so they fell a few row's and landed on some people, Brad jumped down to help the guard get up and another guard started pushing him, and people were still fighting above us. It was crazy, I'm sure Kara (Brad's sister) will post more about it. Needless to say I will never go to a baseball game again. Once was enough for me.

The trip was great Lincoln really enjoyed the beach, he ate some sand but was terrified of the water and we had a really great time. Thanks for the trip, Oh and a big shout out to the best dad in the word, Brad took care of Link the whole time it was great!

Lincolns Firsts

So Link has had a lot of first come up lately that are worthy of noting. First he got his first tooth, then he right away got tooth number two, so really he got his first teeth. I have tried over and over again to get a picture of these teeth, but I have failed. I have tried everything from the surprise picture to holding his mouth open but his tongue seems to be in the way every time. So alas no picture of the teeth.

Lincoln attended his first University of Utah Football game. I think this may have been the proudest moment in Brad's whole life. Everything went really well, Lincoln feel asleep right after halftime though so most of the pic's he's asleep in. Oh and Brad accidentally dressed him in girl pants. (I know it's half my fault for accidentally buying them, but come on they were 5 dollars.)

Another big first for our big man is he is finally crawling, but only on carpet, which we do not have any of. So he lives it up every time we go over to grandpa and grandma Burns house.
