Christmas 2010

Wrapping up 2010

Where should I start??? It seems as though these last 3 months have been as busy as ever. Since we heard of our new grandbaby coming in October we were busy all summer with moving Brooklyn into Shianne's room down stairs and finishing Ryan's room (Yea all the rooms are finally finished in our home). We moved Shianne upstairs where the 2 bedrooms are close so she could have a baby nursery and we could help her if needed. Shianne's due date was October 28th so we had our fingers crossed that we could attend Don and Brienne's wedding without any complications, btw their wedding turned out great, they were married on October 4th. I was happy that Shianne did not go into labor however that week returning back to work I got a phone call on October 7th from her that her back was hurting. I rushed home on my lunch break to see that she was hunched over on my bed in pain. I thought ok lets go back to the hospital where I just left ha ha ( I work at Davis Hospital). Shianne gave birth on October 8th at 3:27am to Karson David Turner 7lb1oz, I was so proud of her.What a blessing to have the both of them in our home. I am happy I can help her out with her finishing her high school. She is a great mother!

Camping at South Fork

We went with Don and Brienne to South Fork we had a great time tubing down the river. We cooked dutch oven meals and enjoyed our little weekend getaway. I love camping too bad we are selling our trailer this year. I think we just might have to be real campers and sleep in the tent next time. Thanks Don and Brienne for the fun family memories. We need to go more often!

Brett smoking us his ribs and making homemade rootbeer

poor Hunter broke his arm the day we were coming down :(

Mom and Dad

I love the firepit and huge garden. I want a 1/2 acre.

Brett has done an  awesome job with his yard in Glenwood.

Dad and Brett

Richfield

We enjoyed our stay in Glenwood. It was nice seeing Brett and his family. It is 4 hours away from Clearfield so anytime we can get away. I would have to say Glenwood here we come. Brett definatly had us eating like Kings and Queens with his great BBQ. His smoked ribs were awesome!

4th of July Richfield Parade

 
For the 4th of July we went down to Richfield to stay at Brett and Melanie's house. Mom and Dad came with us we had a great weekend. The kids had fun being in the childrens parade

Happy Birthday Ryan

Scrapbooking Photo Tinks by WiddlyTinks.com Happy 7th Birthday Ryan! It seems just like yesterday June 3rd 2003 my 10lb 4oz bouncing baby boy was born. It has been such a blessing to have you in our family. I cherish every moment I have with you. Happy Birthday Ryan!

Travelocity Knome

We made a new family tradition to take the travelocity knome with us to our vacation spots. So far its been good luck for the Turner Family!

Bear Lake Activities

We rented this bike at bear lake. It was fun riding along the roades however it was quite the workout especially if the other kids aren't pedaling.

Bear Lake Activities

I was very impressed with all of the activites the Koa campsite had. The kids had fun with free miniture golf, bouncing pillow, hay rides, train rides, swimming and not to mention the lake was across the road from where we camped.

Bear Lake

We had a fun family vacation at Bear Lake in June. We went with Jeff's family we stayed at the Koa. The weather was good we had fun swimming and riding in the canoe, however it scared the hell out of me. I was afraid it was going to tip over but I guess that is the good thing about life jackets.

My Little Angel

Ryan loved playing machine pitch baseball this year on the Angels. He could really hit the ball out there to 2nd base. I was amazed! I told Jeff he should sign up to be a coach next year. I think Ryan enjoyes baseball more than soccer whatever sport he likes its always fun for our family to go watch.

Daddy Daughter Date

 
Jeff and Brooklyn had a daddy daughter date at the church for Brooklyn's activity days. I had fun getting Brooklyn ready for her date she was so excited! They had a prime rib dinner, danced and had a great evening.

Grandpas gift from Kalub

Kalub surprised grandpa with this wooden plaque that he had made and worked so hard on in woodshop at school.

Our Family

It has been forever since we could all get together and get a nice photo!

Handsome Boys

The kids had a fun time at grandpas birthday playing ball outside. I was so happy the weather turned out nice. It was meant to be the rest of the week the weather was cold and rainy.

Dads Birthday BBQ

We had a nice BBQ Birthday for Dad he was so excited. I was happy that everyone could come Brett,Melanie and kids came up from Richfield. Its not very often that our whole family can all make it to functions so it turned out to be the perfect Sunday afternoon. I think dad was proud to know that we surprised him with the party. It seems like we are always having birthday parties for the kids. I am happy that we could plan this for him.

Easter 2010

 
We had a fun Easter Sunday on April 5,2010. We watched the first session of confernce then went over to Aunt Stephanies for an easter egg hunt and dinner. Its always a great time for the kids. They love and cant ever get enough of the candy!

Information on PFO closure

Stroke Survivor Undergoes Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Surgery at UCH

Hole in My Heart" is the story of a man who suffered a stroke and later underwent successful PFO (patent foramen ovale) surgery at UCH to repair the underlying heart defect. John Carroll, MD, appears to

Shianne at PCMC

Since Shianne has had her surgery at Primary Childrens Hospital, she has not had any migraines everything seems to be going well. Her next follow up dr appointment is in July with her cardiologist Dr Grey.

Janurary 4,2010 PFO closure

Alot has been going on in 2010 on January 4th Shianne had her pfo closed. For those of you who do not know what a pfo is it is a hole in the heart. We had no idea Shianne had this. I guess she was born with it who would have ever known? She has always been such an active child with tumbling, cheerleading and dancing. It was last fall during football season that she had told me she was having shortness of breath and felt dizzy at practice where she felt like she was going to pass out. I made a dr appointment they did a MRI scan and an echocardiogram with bubble. Sure enough there was a significant hole in her heart wich was causing lack of oxygen to her brain. Her mri revealed white matter on her brain which showed up as mini strokes. It was so shocking to our family where you think your child is so healthy and then this comes up? She now has a device in her heart that seals the hole off she is taking adult aspirin to prevent any blood clots for 6 months.

Brooklyns 11th Birthday

 
We Love the Ice Sheet!

Brooklyns 11th Birthday skating party

 
We had a fun day ice skating at the Ogden Ice sheet other than my ankles or should I say kankles kill! lol I tried to talk Jeff and Shianne into going but Jeff remembers the last torture of ice skating a couple of years ago. Shianne had a cheer practice and was pretty worn out from running and practicing there cheer comp routine. I must say ice skating is a great work out! Brooklyn and Ryan want to take ice skating lessons. I think that it would be a fun activity to watch them learn to skate backwards and learn the twirls. We had a great day today.
