Lucy cried from the other room but was too much help opening presents so she got to be involved only from her bed. Richard wanted to make a big breakfast but the kids ate candy and soda and did not want to eat breakfast. I just wanted to go back to bed since I had to go to work. Richard ended up watching the Simpson's movie and I napped. I went to work and the kids played in the snow and Richard continued to work on his movies for the "Fish Lake Film Festival".

Christmas 2007
Lucy cried from the other room but was too much help opening presents so she got to be involved only from her bed. Richard wanted to make a big breakfast but the kids ate candy and soda and did not want to eat breakfast. I just wanted to go back to bed since I had to go to work. Richard ended up watching the Simpson's movie and I napped. I went to work and the kids played in the snow and Richard continued to work on his movies for the "Fish Lake Film Festival".
All I wanted was to clean my room.............
Saturday morning Justin and Lindsay dropped off their little dog to have us watch while they spent time with Lindsay's family. We had to do some picking up as she put everything from toys to wrappers in her mouth. She then tried to open a present under the tree. I had borrowed a puppy pen from my friend. Lucy only got to be free for about 45 minutes after her drop off. We set her up in the kitchen, we were all in and out doing our normal things. She was fine until she was alone. Richard got ready for work and the girls were playing and KayLee kicked Kenna in the knee where she had a HUGE wart. The wart was knocked off and bleeding down both sides of Kenna's knee. Once she saw the blood Kenna got sick. She was about to faint. I had to cut off the wart and wrap her leg to get the bleeding to stop. (Kenna had put on her Christmas list to have her wart burned off) Well we saved a trip to the Dr. Richard left and Lucy needed to go outside. Kenna put her on her leash and KayLee went out to brake up Shadow's water. KayLee let Shadow off her leash but she was so excited about Lucy that she jumped the fence and came running to see this new dog. She is pretty frisky and pounced Lucy. Lucy started crying in her beagle bark and Kenna started screaming. I was in the house and thought maybe Lucy had been hit by a car or something. She looked fine so we thought maybe she was just scared. I got Kenzie and Kenna in the house and went to help KayLee catch Shadow. When we got back into the house Lucy had vomited on the floor. The kids informed me that they could not clean it up. So I did. I noticed spots of blood in the puke. So I had KayLee who was holding Lucy fill around and see if she was hurt anywhere. KayLee stuck her finger into a cut. Now my helper was useless. She was going to faint. I got a look and found that Lucy had a small cut in her skin on her belly. I called a vet and told them I had a dog that needed stitches. He informed me that I would need to pay a $75 fee just to show up, then $50 for a diagnostic fee and then a fee for what every was done. Oh yeah, it had to be paid up front. I informed the Vet that we would not be coming. I jumped in the car and ran to the store to buy Super Glue. I glued the dog back together! Now I am playing Vet without an assistant! Now it was time to take KayLee to work. I got Kenna, Kenzie and I something to eat. I walk into the house and my just filled 44 oz. drink fell onto the floor. Now I had to get the carpet cleaner out and clean up soda and dog barf. Finally things calmed down enough that I got to clean my room.(Richard's Christmas present) I was barley finished when he walked in at 10.
Pre-Christmas Suprise!

On 12-18-07 Tres and Brett got an early Christmas present. Whitni decided to come into the world 6 weeks and 2 days before she was expected. She was born in St. George and spent 1 week and 2 days in the N.I.C.U. She was born at 5 lbs. 1 oz. She was released from the N.I.C.U. yesterday and was released from the hospital today. Yeah!! Big sister Mardi is so excited about "her new baby".

Christmas with the Jenkins
I am not sure how it got to be so late in the month but I will now try to update the happenings thus far. On 12-15-07 we made the trip up to Cache Valley to have Christmas with my family. Kortny, Tyler and baby Taylie all came along. We had the party at Lauri's house as Mom has no room at hers with her new furniture. Steph and Chad let Kort and Tyler sleep over at their house with them. It was fun to have everyone together. It has been many years since we have all been in attendance. It is also fun to have babies in the family again. This Grandparent thing is great!! Now I know how people feel when they say "It is good to see them come, and better to see them leave". We watched Taylie so the kids could go to the movie. She was as good as can be but it was nice when her mom took her back and we could go to bed knowing we could sleep through the night without interruptions.
