Thanksgiving 2009

This Thanksgiving my mom and dad decided to down to Arizona to see my brother Dave and his Wife Lori and there daughter Ila. So, all of my brother’s and sister’s decided to go down too! We had done it before and we had a blast. The weather was warm the last time that we went and went swimming in NOVEMBER. The only family member that didn’t go down, was my younger sister Lisa and her Husband Kellen. Before we left Whitney was sick and Travis was sick and I started to feel sick, but we had already booked the hotel and I decided it wasn’t going to be bad and that we would be fine and we would get better. I was WRONG. I started to get more congested and my ears started to hurt and it hurt to swallow. We mostly stayed in our hotel and slept, it was 75 degrees outside and it was beautiful, but we were So sick, that we didn’t even go swimming and it was PERFECT weather to go swimming. Whitney started to feel better, but I was getting worse .We did a little shopping and had ate dinner at Dave’s, but we didn’t do much, because we were SO sick. We came back home, and on the way backI felt like CRAP it was bad, I wanted to die. We came home and I went to bed, I was so tired and I was extremely miserable and truly did want to die. We went to the Dr. and they said that Trav had a virus and that I had a virus and a Ear infection. The Dr. put me on Anti-biotics and I thought I was going to feel better soon, but after two days I wasn’t getting any better, I was actually getting worse, so Travis decided that I needed to go the Dr. again, but we would try a different doctor. We went up to the Spanish Fork Clinic and I saw Dr. Lytle, he looked in both of my ears and said that I had a double ear infection and that I probably had a virus too. I started to cry and he said “What is Wrong? I told him that I was miserable and that I was hurting, he prescribed a new anti-biotic and gave me some cough syrup and pain medication. I really liked him and he was really nice and very compassionate. I think we found a doctor who is not a idiot and knows what he is doing! Hopefully next Thanksgiving we will be well and not sick. Now that we are well, I want to go to Arizona again and get warm!

Whitney's Birthday Party

Well.... Sorry it has taken me so long to update our blog, but we have been super busy and now I have 10 minutes before I need to go to bed, so I will type fast. The day after her Birthday it was time for her Birthday Party!! I was really excited, this was going to be the first time for cake and Ice Cream. I was excited and had it in my mind that she was going to go for it and dig into the cake. My Family came down to Santaquin, Utah and we had dinner and then it was time for Whitney to open presents, she got a lot of cute toys she got a cute "Little People" school bus from Aunt Amie and Uncle Bryce and their kids and then Aunt Karen and their family gave her a "Little People" suv and Aund Lori and Uncle Dave and Ila gave her a cute airplane that you put little balls and it plays music. Grandma and Grandpa Bezzant gave her cute p.j.'s that had little Ballerinas on them and then Grandma Fairbourn gave her some money. Grandma Sheryl lives in Ohio and we don't get to see her very often, but we are grateful for her. Also she got some money from Great Grandpa Bezzant and his wife Bonnie. After we opened presents then I sat her back in her high chair for Cake and Ice Cream. I made chochlate cupcakes and a cake. Like I said before I thought she was going to dig in and make a mess! WRONG she was very dainty and girl like and picked off the sprinkles and ate them one by one, a true girl! She does not like to get messy. She was really cute and then it was time for the Ice Cream! She LOVED the ice cream and ate the whole bowl that I gave her. It was a great party and we had lot's of fun with the family and it was a great memory that I will never forget.
