Whats new

Well nothing much is new at our house. Still doing the same old thing.

I am still working at Dance Tech and I am loving it. It is a perfect job for me. I work 4 hours a week doing what I love.

Adam is doing well. He is still in the recovery process and we are taking things one day at a time. He goes to the Doctor this week so we will see how he is healing up. What a year it has been I can't believe that it is almost over. I hope that this year will be a little better for us. Adam is done with school in April or May and then he will do implant training if he does not get a job. Then after that I guess we will see where life will take us.

Bridger is CRAZY! That is the perfect word for him. Oh I do love him so much but he is all boy. I can't imagine my life any other way. He is progressing and learning so much so fast. It amazes me the new things that he comes up with everyday. He show you all the characters from cars if you ask him which one is which. He will say just anything that you ask him to say also. Sign Language has been such a life saver though, it really helps me to understand what he wants.


So this last week we had a new experience. I went and got my really early Christmas present at the Perfect light store with my Mother n Law Barbara. We took the camera out so we could look at it so I locked all the doors in my car. As we were leaving I shut the last door forgetting that it was locked and my keys were in the car. So there was Bridger locked in the car with the keys. I was telling him to get the keys and he kept yelling no. So I had to call the Police to send someone to unlock my car. WOW! That was so embarrassing.

Sunday we had the chance to go to Creed's baby blessing.






































I have been playing around with my camera so I have a lot of random pictures. I am using it on Auto until my Photo class next week. I am loving it so far. I would recommend it to anyone.

Happy Halloween

I hope that everyone had a great Halloween. We were busy from 2:30 on visiting family. These are some of our favorite pictures of us and the family. Enjoy!! Brider's costume turned out great. My mom and I made this from complete scratch.



















The cousins..






































This is sweet baby Creed. I am hoping to be able to watch this little man a couple days while his mom goes back to work.



















The swine flu-man and the Monkey in the mall






































Cole is such a cutie. He was hiding from the camera, but I got lucky!



















The grandkids














The Taylors. I had a cute one of ALyssa but can't find it right now.

Sneek-Peek

This would be a sneek-peek of Bridger's cute costume. He makes a really cute Monkey! He was no thrilled though.























This was when he was ok with it.























Our Pumpkins that my mom and I carved last night. They turned out pretty good considering that we used a paring knife.














Meagan and the Pumpkin that she carved at Braxton's


















These are a few things that we have been up to these last couple of weeks.



















These are some of Bridger's cars. He loves to try to pack them all in his hands. SO cute!

6 Years and Updates

Well Adam and I will officially hit 6 years on Sunday.
I can't believe that when we got married my little
sisters were only 10 and 11. That is what really
makes me feel old. They are 16 and 17 now. Not a
day goes by that I am so thankful that I found
Adam and we were able to be sealed for eternity.
I could not imagine my life without him by my side.
I can truly say that I love him more than I did 6
years ago, and the trials that we have faced
just makes me love him even more.












It is so amazing how much your love can intensify when you go through trials in your life. When Adam fell and was going through his surgery, I realized then and there how much I really need him. He is what completes me and has made me a better person. My love for him has grown in such a different direction and I know that we have to go through these trials to experience that amazing feeling. The spirit testifies to me everyday that he is the man that I am supposed to be with and I am so grateful for that.
















I found these questions on a site and thought that it would be fun to answer them.

1. Do you remember what your spouse was wearing the last time you saw them? (Whether it was before one or the both of you dashed off to work, left for a business trip, or left to run errands.) What color shirt, sweater or blouse did they have on? Or, for the truly astute, which shoes were they wearing?

a- When I dropped him off at school he was wearing a red shirt, black shorts with red and white, white hospital socks and his slippers.(we forgot to change them)

a- I would say action or what ever you call super-hero ones.

3. What were your spouse's favorite TV shows to watch growing up?

a- Loved anything that had super-hero's like Spider man, Superman, Batman

4. What kind of deodorant scents does your spouse NOT like?

a- I don't know scents cut I do know he only likes Old Spice!

5. What is your spouse's favorite candy?

a- Reeses cups

6. Which type of chocolate do they prefer? (Milk, white, dark.)

a- milk

7. When was the last time you watched a sunset together?

a- When we got engaged six years ago!

8. When was the last time you paid your spouse and compliment? What was it?

a- With his accident I try to do it daily! I tell him I am so proud of him.

a- 10-08-2009( When the doctor came and told him that his life would be changed forever)

if you don't want to cry I would recommend never talking to a Neurosurgeon.

10. Do you remember the last laugh you had together and what caused it?

a- my son of course. He always is doing the most interesting things.

Most of all I am so proud of him for the man that he is and the father and husband he strives to be. Adam is truly my best friend. Happy 6 years and I hope the next 6 are as good as these were!

Pictures from the fall

These are the pictures that I took from Adam's accident.

This is the archway that he fell from. He was hanging a banner from that wood piece. It it tall enough for large buses to go under.









These are of Adam being prepped for surgery. They had all these wires on him so they could monitor his nerves. It really made you realize how serious this surgery was..









This is Adam sitting in his chair(or my chair when I was there).
This was one of his first times up.












This was crazy! I could not beleive the tube was sticking straight out of his back. His incision does not look that big in this picture but it actually goes from the top of his bum to the middle of his back. We were very surprised how long it was.















I thought that I would stick a picture of this little pill on here also. I am not going to lie it has been a bit overwhelming but things are starting to slow down. I look forward to nap time everyday. We are being well taken care of. They have a RN that is assigned to our case that will to all of our appointments. So that is going to be so nice. We get to get the staples out tomorrow. Then our next step is to get him back to school.

I am so grateful for the gospel at this time and for the power of prayer. I could not do this alone. Our family and friends have been so AMAZING and so generous. Thanks for all the kinds words, it truly does help. As things progress I will keep you updated.

Sleepy Baby!!!

Bridger has been a little of schedule since I was at the hospital for 5 days. The day Adam came home he was falling asleep in his high chair.

I am working on some pictures from the hospital and the accident to check back soon. Adam is doing so good. I am so proud of him for his strength. He has been such an inspiration to me. Man am I one lucky woman. We are going to married 6 years on the first it is a bummer that we will probably be spending it at home. If any of you have some ideas for me to do for a romantic night at home, please help. Thanks for everyone's comments we really appreciate it!

Looking up

Well we are going on day 3 tomorrow in the hospital. Adam is doing very well, and is looking 100 times better. Today was his first day out of bed. He walked to his chair sat for 45 minutes and then walked back. This is such a huge thing, so we are pretty excited. The therapist was so positive and put such a great feeling into the room. He said that Adam is doing AMAZING. We have been so blessed with some of the best nurses and doctors. Adam is going to walk the halls tomorrow, and then we are hoping stairs on Sunday. I am so proud of him. He has been such a trooper through this whole experience. I am looking forward to the days to come when Adam is completely healed.

We are so grateful for all the kind words and the prayers that are being offered in our behalf. We could not do it with out the lords help. I am so grateful for all the Lord has done for our family and even though this is a trail that we are meant to face at this time I know that it will make us stronger. We love each one of you more then words could ever express. Thanks so much.

The Trials we must face

I am at my moms taking a small break from the hospital so I thought that I would let everyone know what is going on. Adam was at work hanging a banner for there open house and his assistant manager was holding the ladder. The ladder folded and Adam went down with the ladder falling about 12-14 feet. He landed on the pavement on his feet then rolled to his but. As he was laying on the ground he felt pain like he had never felt before in his life. He could not even move. About 4-5 minutes later they called the ambulance and then they called me. Adam had to wait for three hours before they would give him any pain meds. So it was an interesting couple hours. They came back with the first x-ray and they said that it looked very minor and that he would probably not even have to wear a brace. They wanted to be sure so they had a cat scan done just to be sure. They come back and say that it looks a little worse then they thought and said they wanted us to talk to the neuro surgeon. At that point they come in and tell us that he would need surgery that his disc was pushing into his spinal cavity and that he would need this immediately. He got surgery this afternoon and everything went well. He was coming out of it slowly when I left. That is where we are at this point.

The doctor told us some pretty hard news this morning. Not something a 28 year old father wants to hear. Adam will not be able to snowboard, wake board or any other sport that will jar his spine. Because they had to fuze his L2, L3 and L4 discs he has no where to give. We are looking on the positive side of this and thanking our father in Heaven for protecting Adam. I know that we all go through trying times in our lives, and he would not give us something that we could not overcome. MY HUSBAND CAN WALK, HE IS ALIVE. We have so much to be thankful for and will learn and grow form this experience.

Thanks to everyone for all your support. We love each one of you and could not do this alone.

McDonalds and new car

We went to McDonald's today and to our surprise Ronald McDonald was there. Bridger was a little freaked out at first, then we warmed up enough to give him five an knuckles. This picture was taken with the blackberry! It is not the best quality.

I forgot to add a picture of Bridger and his new stroller car that GG bought him. Man you would think it was Christmas.
