Kyler hanging out...

Ashlyn had her Chiro appointment on Monday and he said that she was super tense on the right side of her neck, so she was worked on and was super sore all week. She goes back in tomorrow for more adjustments. She also got her MRI done on Thursday, and the tech said they would call if they saw anything. So I'm hoping that no news is good news. Abby was in a lot of pain on Friday and we figured out that she had started her period. Poor baby girl, she's been in so much pain all weekend with a heating pad on her belly. She's been such a trooper and her sweet Aunt Sarah sent her a milkshake to help her feel better! So sweet!

I wore my 49er's shirt out shopping yesterday, excited for the super bowl today...

Abby had activity days this week, she has a great group of girls!

 I gave a talk today on Patriarchal blessings, it was a very spiritual week for me and I loved sharing my testimony at the pulpit. I had timed my talk and it was 11 minutes, so I told my speaking partner that I wasn't going to take up much time. Well, I ended up not reading from my talk but just telling stories about everything that I had learned about patriarchal blessings and I ended up talking for 20 minutes! Whoops! I left the last speaker with 5 minutes. Sorry! I also received a new calling today, I'm going to be a  primary teacher for the first time. I'm a little nervous and a little wary, but I'm excited to start something new. 

Rough week

This is the only picture that was taken this week...it was a tough one. 

Rick got a 2nd opinion on his knee and they said that if he doesn't get the surgery that he will continue to injure his knee. He's planning on getting the surgery and is excited for a new start with a new ACL reconstruction. 

We got Ashlyn a chiro appointment for tomorrow and we are really hoping that it helps, this last week was tough for her. 

Jacob is working a ton of hours, he worked 31 hours this last week. It's too much, we are hoping that he will get less hours from now on. He and I got really sick this weekend, some sort of sinus/cold. Luckily we are both feeling a bit better today. Hoping for a better week ahead!

 

Week in Review...

 

This week was a tough one. Abby was really sick, throwing up  a lot and missed a few days of school. We found out that Jacob's new school which has been going so well will be closing at the end of this year. We will need to find another virtual school for him, he's been loving it. Ashlyn went to the neurologist on Friday and they think her headaches might be happening because of the tightness in her neck, so we have been massaging her neck. We are going to try the chiropractor and physical therapy as well. We will see if it helps. Ashlyn's latest painting...

My sister Kim found this old picture of our family with our cousins the Davis', fun to see and remember the memories. 

Week in Review...

Some Flashback pictures that my sister sent of Baby Sarah, me, Carrie and Ryan from Halloween. So cute!

Ashlyn went to a girls soccer game for her mutual this week, look at that sunset!

Jacob sent this picture of the Mesa Temple that's hanging in the Albertsons store!

I thought this quote was so interesting...

We got to watch Grandma and Grandpa J give their homecoming talks, they both did great!

 We took Jacob to the audiologist on Monday and they told us that last year his left ear was just under normal hearing range and his right ear was fine and that this year it was the opposite ears. So now we need to go to the ENT to find out why they're fluctuating. Ashlyn had a pretty good week healthwise, hopefully this week will be good too. Rick starts his physical therapy tomorrow morning so we'll see how that goes! Hopefully a great week coming up!

Thrpwback picture to when Abby was in preschool, so cute!

Abby got some hair chalk for Christmas and she has really enjoyed playing with different colors in her hair that wash out every day. 

Jacob got a keyboard for Christmas and has enjoyed learning how to play the piano again...

The dogs have started sharing this big dog bed and it's so cute...they actually like each other now.

Last week we took Ashlyn to the Cardiologist and they did the ultrasound of her heart and luckily found that it was strong and healthy. They believe that she has POTS syndrome and advised her to up her salt intake. we got her some salt tablets, pretzels and ramen. We also got her some compression socks. She has an appointment with the neurologist on the 26th and we are hoping to figure out her migraines. 

Jacob started his job at Albertsons this week and worked 23 hours! He loves it but is exhausted. He also started online school and absolutely loves it! He says all of his teachers are very nice and his classes are pretty small, about 20 kids. He's a busy little guy! We take him to the audiologist tomorrow to see what they say about his hearing. Busy week coming up!
 

New Years Eve

We got a small pack of fireworks for New Years Eve and had our own celebration, then the kids went to a neighbors house to watch a lot of fireworks go off! Rick started walking on Monday and has been gaining more and more stability everyday. He no longer wears a brace at all! His MRI is tomorrow, so we will find out what happened at his next appointment on Friday. 

Abby had a movie night at the neighbors house...

My amazing nephew Trevor gave his homecoming talk and it was awesome. He is truly one of a kind, we are so blessed to have him in the family.

 Jacob got a job this week! He'll be working at Albertsons pushing carts and will be in charge of the electronic sweeper. He's so excited to start a real job. He's also been dealing with a lot of hearing issues, so we are switching him to an online school, we will see how he does. Hoping to get him enrolled soon. We also have an appt with an audiologist in a few weeks to see how his hearing is doing.
