Happy Birthday Shawn!

Shawn and his two most precious things in his life! Shawn is the best dad ever to his two little girls! They both have him wrapped so tight around his finger it is not even funny! He tries to act tough when it comes to them but all they have to do is look at him and say "Daddy please" and pretty much they get what ever they want! Thank you Shawn for being an amazing Dad! Your little girls love you soooooo much!

Thank you babe for being a wonderful Husband! I am so lucky to be blessed to have you in my life! I am so glad that about 11 years ago I meet you and that you have put up with me ever since! I love you and I hope that you have a great Birthday! We are all so lucky to have Shawn as part of our lives! He is the one that always keeps our family going and on the right track!

I had to put this pitcure in here! I think that it is so funny of Shawn in this little helmet! Shawn is always up for a good time and he is hilarious! He is always there to cheer all his girls up whenever needed! Shawn you are the very best in all our eyes! We love you!

My cute little Dancer!

Remie performed her first Performance with the company team that she is on, on Friday Night! It was so much fun to watch and they did a great job! I think that they was all a little nervous but was so cute anyways! They did a Christmas Dance at the Poinsettia Festival in Highland. I love to watch her dance!

All the kids had a good time after she danced, they had cookies for all the kids to decorate, and of course my little sugar fiends loved that!

Ryklee enjoying the performance!

Thanks Jed, Candice, Kylie and Steele for coming and watching Remie! She loves to have people come and watch her!

Ben, Heather, Jack and Mack also came to support Remie along with Grandma and Grandpa Elton, Uncle Brennan and Grandma and Grandpa Wall. Thank you everybody!

Aren't these little boys cute! I love all my little nephews! I have to enjoy them because I don't think that I will ever get a little boy of my own!

I just don't know what to think!

So I just have to vent a little. I was so sad tonight when Shawn came home and asked Remie if she wanted to go on a ride to get a treat and she said "no I will just wait here for you to go and bring it to me!" That would have never been her response before the accident! It mad me so MAD! She is scared to death to get in a car! Any time you do get her in a car all she can worry about is how long it will be until she can get out! So as the night went on he asked her if she wanted to go to Montana to see her cousins. The answer was no I just want to stay home! He tried to get her many times to leave with him and she just wouldn't! If you know Remie that is not her! I felt so bad! It was time to go to bed and Shawn was trying to get her to go and she didn't want to so he said "okay lets go on a ride" and she said "no I am going to bed, you said that it was bed time!" Remie made it out of the accident not harmed physically but it definitely affected her mentally! I came up to bed tonight and thinking about this it just made me cry. This whole thing has ruined one of her favorite things to do with her Dad, go on rides! I hope that it will pass and I am sure it will, it is just going to take time just like all the rest of the stuff from this whole mess! I love her so much and I hate that it has caused her to be scared like this!

Hairstylists in training!

So Mom had a ot of help. She had to cut Dad's hair, he was starting to look like a girl and we was going to have to buy him silk panties, and since I am not able to do it right now, Mom did it for him. Remie and Ryklee didn't think she needed to do it though, they thought they would be fine to do it on their own. Ryklee had the spray bottle and kept spraying Dad in the face and then she would crack up and almost fall off of the chair. It was so funny.

Remie tried telling Mom that she needed the scissors and that she could cut Dads hair if she just told her where to cut. She actually probably could she has watched me cut so much hair. So who wants to be her guinee pig, anyone?

This is Ryklee thinking she needs the scissors and to do the cutting.

It is amazing that Mom had so much help andhis haircut did actually turn out looking very good!

Since she couldn't cut the hair on the head I think she picked up all the chunks on the ground and cut them! I love my girls, they crack me up! They are so stickin cute!

Anything goes at Grandma's!

Candice and Steele came over today to babysit me today, yes I have to have a babysitter! Kindof sucks! Not that I didn't enjoy your company Candice! Ialways do! It was nice though, Mom and Dad was able to go to church and Shawn was able to go out to little Moab with Dagan, Whit, Brennan and Jed, and other Jeep Buddies! I think that it was a little sad for him. A guy from Dagans work bought our totaled Jeep and he had it out there! It was a sad day for Shawn when he had to sign all the papers and receive the payment on the Jeep from the insurance! That was him and Remies favorite thing to do, was to go on a ride in Daddy's Jeep! He would put her car seat in the front seat and so he could drive where ever it was they was going holding her hand listening to what ever music Remie wanted to! Those times will definately be missed! Anyways as you can see Ryklee and Steele had a great day today! They both know that they can pretty much do what ever at Grandma and Grandpas and get away with it! Thank you for being such great Grandparents!

Got to love helping Grandma make brownies! While Steele found the flour Ryklee claimed all of anything that had brownie batter on it!

And licked it all clean!

Yummy!

I think here she is yelling at Grandpa cause he was eating batter out of the pan and she wanted more! Really looks like she needs more, huh?

Quite the little artist!

So proud of himself!

"Wait I didn't get enough on this arm, Mom!"

"Ha, Ha, look what I found! I am at Grandma's and she won't even care!"

Thank you Candice for coming and spending time with me today!

Accident update

I went to the Doctor yesterday and he removed all of my stiches! Yeh! My face looks much better! I wish that I felt the way that I looked I would be doing good!

I got a little frustrated after the Doctor yesterday. He checked my eyes and he said that they didn't look good but they did look better than they did last time he checked them. My vision is just blurry! He also told me that they measure the healing from brain injuries in months not days or weeks. So he said that I would probably be feeling the way I am for 2 months! That was a little hard to hear because I feel like crap! But I have to try to look on the bright side and at least I am not recovering from brain surgery because they thought that was going to be the case and I just have to be thankful that me and my family are still ALIVE! He is making me an appointement with a Dr. at a pain clinic so that they can maybe do something different than just pain pills for my pain. That would be nice I am sick of taking all this medicine, but I can't be without it!

Thank you Aunt Debbie for the packages! This is the girls enjoying their things!

Ryklee absolutly loves this blanky, she won't hardly go anywhere without it! I have to say thank you to everyone that has sent flowers, brought food, sent cards, said prayers and kept us in there thoughts! We appriciate everyone so much!

I love my girls so much! I know this has been hard for them. Remie understands what is going on but she did have a hard time with seeing me the way that I have been. Ryklee on the other hand I don't know if understands and she for quite a while would not have anything to do with me, it is a good thing for her grandma or the little girls would have been so lost. She has started wanting me again and coming to me and that makes it so much easier, that is a hard thing to deal with when your kids won't hardly come to you! I am so thankful for my family and it is so good to have the girls around me all the time they help me keep my mind off of things and they can always make me smile! I love you Remie and Ryklee! Know when ever I get up I have both of them right there grabbing my hands and holding on to me helping me walk! I love it, I don't know what I would do without them, they are my life!

Saturday November !st was I would have to say one of the worst nights of my life. We had been out to dinner as a family and was on our way to Walmart to get Remie the movie Tinkerbell, then home to watch it. We was driving down American Fork State Street when a man turned in right in front of us causing Shawn to have to slam on his brakes and turn to miss him. We was driving Shawn's Jeep because when ever we go out as a family that is Remies favorite thing to drive. When Shawn turned he went into oncoming traffic and was going to hit a Suburban head on, so he turned back the other way and when he did our jeep rolled. I do not remember much about it, I must have been knocked out, when I came to I remember laying there, my arm stuck under the roll bar of the Jeep and I could see Shawns head. He didn't look to good to me. I don't really remember much after that. I just know that I am so thankful that my little family made it out of the accident alive. My little angels walked away with just a few scraps and bruises! Thank you, thank you, I know that they was being watched over! Shawn had a cut on his head that required stitches and he has a fractured vertibrea from a previous accident that flared up, the vertibrea that was hurt is the last one that holds your last two ribs so his ribs were very tender also. I am so thankful that he was not hurt worse than he was! I was cut on my face, which required plastic surgery to be sewn back up. My checkbones and my eye sockets are spiderweb fractured. I have bleeding and bruising on my brain that they thought they would have to do brain surgery and by some miracle they did not have to. My shoulder, arm and leg are all bruised up but thankful I did not have any broken bones in them, just damaged tissue and muscles. I am writing this a week after the accident happened and I am starting to look much better than I did, I wish that I would start to feel the way that I look, my head and arm and leg still just hurt. But soon I am hoping the pain will all start going away. I am very thankful for all the love and support that I have had! I am so lucky to have Shawn he has been such an amazing supporter though all of this, I know that this has all been very hard on him but he has been so good to help and do all that he can. I love you so much Shawn! I am also very thankful for my Mom and Dad! You guys are so amazing! I would never be able to make it though all of this without you! I love you so much and I am so thankful for you as parents! You are amazing!

The Leaves are falling!

I love this time of year! I love the smell in the air, the colors of the leaves as they change and the crisp cool breeze. All though this year it has not been really crisp and cool! But it has been beautiful! Saturday we went up to Mom and Dads and we ended up helping rake the leaves up and Shawn helped Dad on his shed. The girls had a blast playing in the leaves and helping Grandma. We should have stayed there that day cause that night ended in a nightmare! (my next post!)
