The Shumway News!

Our first story today is nothing but good news. My niece Cassidy is home from the hospital. We are so excited to have her home and she is doing incredibly well. We were able to see her last Saturday and spend time with her, Lorin, Janice, Megan and Logan. We sure missed going to their home and seeing them. Janice's home has a wonderful spirit and its very welcoming. I love going to her home. Cassidy still has some challenges to face but she is so strong that nothing gets her down. We sure love that little girl and we know that she has a wonderful spirit, a sweet smile and loving personality.

Our second story is in regards to Kami. A week ago Kami lost her second tooth and was very excited to have the tooth fairy come to see her. Well Neil accidentally threw her tooth away. You see after she pulled it out I put the tooth in a plastic bag to keep safe. Neil was cleaning up that night and grabbed the bag by accident without checking to see what was in it and threw it away. He felt so bad that he gave her $3.00 to make it up to her since the tooth fairy cannot come. She was okay with that and she forgave Neil too.

Our third story is a sad one. Four days ago, Friday night, Devan went over to our neighbors house to play when he was bit by their dog in the face. Our neighbors daughter came to get me saying that Devan was hurt and wanted me. She said he hurt his eye. Well I just thought he fell on some ice and jabbed himself in the eye. When I got over there I could hear him screaming and he was covered in blood. I of coarse was hysterical, asking them what happened to my child. Michelle (the neighbor) said that Devan was petting the dog when he turned on him and bit him in the face. We took Devan to the E.R. for stitches and a good cleaning but he is going to be okay. I don't know how he will feel about dogs now but only time will tell. As for the dog, out neighbors are getting rid of him so that no other children get hurt again.

Shhh! We're sleeping!

I went to check on Kami the other night and this is how I found her. Our cat crawled underneath the covers and snuggled up to Kami. It was really cute. The cat loves to sleep with her, ofcoarse she tries to sleep with Devan but he won't let her and for some reason she won't even come in my room (which is fine with me, I'm not sharing my bed). So she sleeps with Kami, right beside her.

Kami has lost another one

Everyone, Kami has lost another tooth. She was so excited. This time she just pulled out her tooth. Ofcoarse it was hanging on by a thread, but she did it. Now the tooth fairy will be visiting our home again tonight. I wonder how much he will leave this time?

P.S. Devan has his first loose tooth but it has yet to fall out. Will post on a later date.

Mamma Mia!

My friend Devin put together a girls night at her home to watch "Mamma Mia" and eat a lot of junk food. Pictured are my friends (left to right) Devin, Bekah and Rachel. We talked for hours while eating our snacks and laughed soo hard during the movie. To wrap up the night we sang along with the movie using the sing along part of the movie. For those of you who have not seen the movie I highly recommend seeing it. We all loved it.

Sleding With Friends

Our neighbors Randy and Malory Klingler and her sisters family invited us to go sleding with them. We had a blast, in fact my kids didn't want to go home. Kami was even brave this year and went down the mountain alone. And she didn't even mind the climb back up. As for Neil and I we got our days exercise just walking up the hill so many time. We sure were tired but the memories we made will last for ever.

Outings with Daddy

So I am a terrible mom and did not take pictures of my children going out with their dad so I will just have to write about it.

For Christmas this year I gave Neil tickets to a Jazz game, the Jazz vs. the Spurs. When I bought the tickets they were center line around the first row but it turns out they were clear in the back and had to watch the whole game on the screen instead of the floor. But they had a great time eating snacks and cheering on their favorite team. As they were leaving the game Devan turned to Neil and says "Dad thanks for bringing me to the game." How cute is that. Kami and I stayed home playing little pet shops and watching a movie.

Just a side note: The Jazz lost that night.

The next week Neil went on a daddy daughter date with Kami. They went out on Tuesday February 3rd to dinner at "Old McDonnalds",(McDonnalds) and they were going to seeing the movie "Hotel for Dogs". Sadly the movie was not playing that night like the website said so they finished their date on Thursday February 5th. They loved the movie and had a great time together talking, and just hanging out. Devan and I stayed home playing Monoply junior. We both won a game.
