Mother's Day Week-end

Hyrum did so well this week-end. We've had some bad times recently where when we leave the unit we have to have 3-4 staff members hold him back while he is hysterically crying. We haven't been able to have him home for awhile since his behavior has been dangerous. This week-end however, the whole family visited on Saturday and then again on Sunday and he was happy and calm.

We love the grounds at the hospital. It's gorgeous and every Saturday you will see couples and photographers taking picutres there for wedding announcements etc. This is one of the ponds. I'll have to get the camera fixed soon so that you can see the catch and release fish pond. Our kids are getting spoiled for fishing anywhere else. They get a fish on just about every cast!

Where did they go????

Okay so it's been awhile since I've updated the blog. I have some good excuses if you would like to hear them.

Wendy's top 10 reasons why she didn't update the blog
10. Hyrum got Hennoch-Scholine Pepura and we had to spend a bunch of time in hospitals
9. We dropped the digital camera and now it turns on but won't open. (I like Julie's suggestion that we just drop it again and see if the problem clears up... very scientific!)
8. I directed the Tolman Elementary school musical performed at Viewmont High School.
7. We've been in therapy trying to hone our keen parenting skills.
6. Jason took and passed the regulatory section of the CPA exam.
5. We've planted a garden
4. We've waged battle on the overgrown yard. We've installed sprinklers and cut down on the amount of flower beds in the yard by planting more grass.
3. Jason used his handyman skills on a broken water heater, a broken bed, the swamp cooler and his dad's sprinkers.
2. I've been waiting for some good news to post about Hyrum. I'm still waiting.
1. I'm just lazy!

We love you all even though we're not the greatest in keeping in touch. Keep the faith!
