Waylon Got his mission call!!

2009-08-15T12:40:00.000-07:00

Last night we all gathered together in the dining rm, everyone had there cellphones out with family and friends on the line to announce Elder Waylon Huffman's mission call. Waylon and His Dad happened to be in Puerto Rico so that Waylon could earn the last of his mission money. He has already earned all the money to serve!
So with Jeff and Waylon on the phone, Buckley opened the envelope and handed it to me. As I read, of coarse, I began to cry. But I read it. And this is what it said!
Dear Elder Huffman:
You are called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Philippines Tacloban Mission. It is anticipated the you will serve for a period of 24 months. You should report to the Prove missionary training Center on Wednesday, December 16, 2009. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the Cebuano language. Your assignment my be modified according to the needs of the mission president.
we are all to excited for Waylon to serve the Lord. Waylon's reaction was shock and awe. He was freaking out and dumbfounded and excited all at the same time. He can't wait to go.
We know that Waylon will help change the lives of those he serves with and those he serves for. He will be a great and honorable missionary!

What a blast it is to be Jack's Grammie! He is such a boy! Not afraid of anything and loves to get into everything! So...I thought i'd channel his energy into learning to walk! He is so much fun to have around. We are so blessed that Jessica, Justin and Jackson live only minutes away. Today we were having fun learning to walk with the help of his little lawn mower!

THE CHAMPIONS

2008-10-26T18:27:00.000-07:00

This was a GREAT season for Hunter and his teammates! They were UNDEFEATED! Even so good, that the league they played in wouldn't let them compete in the championship tournament because they thought their team was above there level. American Fork allowed them to play against them because they kicked them out too! They beat American Fork 27 to 7! During the season Hunter was knocked out for about 5 seconds during a practise. Along with the every day practise bumps and bruises, not to mention the games! He loved every minute of the season and looks forward to the next season! Thanks Coaches Jay Taylor and Bryce McBride and Ryan Liljenquist and Coach Dean! You have been Great!

It bit me!

2008-09-10T09:24:00.001-07:00

My swollen hand neck and face! Pretty hugh!

This is what my normal hand looked like.

And this is what it looked like about an hour after a baby rattlesnake bit me!

This is the next day after spending the night in the hospital. No fun. Here's the story...I have three little dogs...2 Chihuahua's and a baby Pug. The neighborhood kids all come over to play with them everyday. This day they came knocking at my door, not to return the puppies, but to tell be there was a little snake under the tire of my Suburban. I told them not to worry and that I would get it out and sent it home. So I went to look and sure enough it was tucked in, hiding under my back tire. So I trying to woosh it out with my fingernails so I could grab it. As I did that, I scared it and it struck me! I wasn't worried about it because I'd been bit by Garter snakes before so it was no big deal. So I thought...til I whipped my hand back and it felt like the little guy used razors or something! It really hurt! But I payed no attention to it and went and got my gloves, grabbed it out from under the tire and took a look at the little guy. It was a baby Rattler! No wonder my finger hurt so bad. Knowing that I couldn't just send it on it's way...I had to contain it. Meanwhile my oldest daughter Jessica had called he husband (who is a hunter and great outdoors men) to find out what she should do. By this time my finger had swollen up to mu knuckle and was hurting really bad! She immediately told me to get in the car and that she was taking me to the ER and that rattlesnake bite can kill you. I knew they were dangerous but I didn't realize that they were life threatening! So she demanded I get in the car right away and she was taking me to the ER. By this point 10 minutes latter my entire finger had swollen up like a balloon, and it was very painful! So I agreed. Apparently if you don't get the anti venom soon enough the snake venom can travel to your heart and kill you. After an hour and a half of waiting in the ER they finally gave me a small dose of the anti venom and said that they needed to watch me to be sure that the swelling stopped progressing and that they would give me move as needed. They finally gave me something for the pain and admitted me. Latter that night they had to give me more anti venom and more meds for the pain(thankyou thankyou thankyou). I was surprised at the amount of swelling! Through the night the swelling had moved up my arm to my shoulder and neck. Apparently if it get really bad the doctors have to take you into surgery and cute long slices along your body to relieve the pressure from the swelling. Thank goodness I got into the ER so quickly...I only had to stay over night and in bed for a couple days after that! The swelling went down slowly and so did the pain.

My family (Jeff was in Puerto Rico) but we were shortly back together again in Puerto Rico

This was such a fun day! We all came back from Puerto Rico and I just had to get pictures of my kids cuz they were all in the same place which doesn't usually happen! We had a blast on this beautiful autumn day!So I sent my Family Picture and another one I had taken of Jeff in Puerto Rico to my sister Corinne and had her stick Jeff in with the family for the Christmas card we sent out! Turned out pretty good! He was always working so we rarely got a chance to do things together. But when we did get together... we had FUN!
