Poor Poor Jack

Yesterday was a heck of a day.  Taking Matt to get his wisdom teeth out in SL, then coming home to a doctor visit and emergency surgery.  It was a LONG day and I'm tired.  Today, just relaxing.....so nice!!!!

Update

Hey all,
It's been awhile since I updated my blog, but now that I have a new fancy one, I'm actually looking forward to posting more frequently :)

Jess & Kade are Livin' the Dream up in Cache Valley. They're both hard at work and attending some summer school. We don't see them too often, since they're so busy being newly married and dealing with the harsh realities of independent life everyday... But I guess that in itself is an update on them.


Matt just graduated from high school, and at this moment is getting all four wisdom teeth plucked from his jaw. But the only cash coming out of anyone's pocket is coming out of Jean Brown Research's perfectly pleated suit pants. Its a great deal for Matt, >$500 in exchange for teeth he wasn't going to keep anyway. He is most likely going to save that money for his LDS mission, for which he leaves this fall! He's a good boy.


Brooke is too excited to turn 16. She sometimes thinks she already is 16. But she's not, and her siblings remind her of that often. She loves her phone, her facebook page, her DVD player, her ipod, her clothes, her privacy, and her brothers (though she's not as eager to admit that).





Jackson just had surgery to remove a burst appendix. Surprise. There were virtually no signs or symptoms, he walked around with a burst appendix nonchalantly for 48 hours before we went to the emergency room. He's a pretty tough kid. He can't wait to get back in good shape so he can play some more basketball.


Porter has been hard at work cleaning the house. This comes as a surprise to you? Well he cleans the house in exchange for money he can spend on shakes at the new Maverick. He's getting really good at cleaning the bathroom ;) A little while ago, he and Jackson built a raft to float on the pond above our house. They also built an oar, made from a netless lacrosse stick with a garbage sack over it. I thought it was pretty creative.


Heber is constantly torturing Eli. Though he vies to call it "brotherly love". He has also discovered the shakes at Maverick, and has been panning for gold with pie plates at the afore mentioned pond in order to buy some.


Eli is constantly torturing Heber. And whatever Heber does, Eli usually does it too. But with a little more flare, a little more shaking of his booty, and little more raising of his eyebrows up and down while saying "me-ow".


Then there's me. I've been so busy lately, there's nothing that I haven't been doing. Well, except drinking. And smoking. And skydiving. And I haven't been to Idaho in a while. But I have been considering a trip to Sturgess-- where I can hopefully do the first three things, find a biker husband, and land a job at Northern Exposure.
