Lucky Girls

Lucky Alyse left for a trip to Florida last Wed. to visit friends that she worked with during her internship at Disneyworld. Last report, she is having a ball! Lucky Annie is still on a roll with her volleyball team. They beat both their games this week! One more team to beat and they will have played and won all the teams in their division. Then it will start over and they will play them all again. This weeks games are both home games. 3:30 pm at Olympus High. Come watch if you can! Lucky Brianna is loved by everyone and is gaining weight. Only 4 more oz. and she will be back to her birth weight! Yeah!

Drivers Permit, More WINS, New BABY!

This has been a busy exciting week for us. First Annie got her drivers permit so if you're on the road watch out! Second, Annie's volleyball team won both their games again this week! Third and most important we have a new little grandaughter! April went into labor Wed. night. The baby was still a couple of weeks early so she is very tiny. Only 5lbs. 80z. at birth and she has lost some weight since then, she was 17 and 1/2 inches long. Her name is Brianna and lucky April was only in labor for 3 hours with her! Thats how to do it! Part of Annie's winning team.

Hunter's birthday party reminded Alyse of how much fun her birthday party had been this year. Alyse likes theme parties. Yes we are all pirates.....good times!

Big Win

Annie's team won their first game of the season against Highland! Good job Annie! On Thurs. they play Cottonwood High. 3:30pm at Cottonwood. Good luck Annie!

Titan Volleyball

A few weeks before school started Annie tried out for her High School volleyball team and she made it! Yeah! The team has been working hard. They had a tournament in St. George the weekend before school started. They practice about 4 hours a day and on Tuesday they will be put to the test as they play their first game of the season against Highland High School. So if any of you are free at 3:30 in the afternoon come cheer for Annie [#13] Go Titans!

update on exciting famliy night

Just to let anyone who is interested know that by using drugs they were able to stop April's contractions last night. We'll hope for a couple of more weeks before she goes into labor again.

Exciting Family Night

Tonight we were having a family night with all our family. We barbequed and sat down to eat dinner. After a few minutes April said " Mom I am having a really bad pain!" [April is 8 and 1/2 months pregnant] We had her lay down and the pains continued so I drove her to the hospital with Andy and Annie helping her remember to breath and Annie getting her hand crushed during the contactions while Eric ran home to get their insurance card and a car seat for the new baby just in case. Everyone else at home was calling every 5 minutes for an update. Andy and Annie and I ended up coming home. April and Eric are still there and we are getting updates every 1/2 hr. The last was they were going to give her drugs to see if they can stop the contractions because she is only dialated 2 and 1/2 cenimeters. It would be great if their little girl would wait another couple of weeks so she could get a little bigger, but we'll see what happens. It made for an excitng family night. The planned activities went by the wayside. That is life for you.
