Kenzie's new hair cut

Kenzie's new hair cut.

Thought I would up keep you on everything. Kenzie is not in a walking boot. It hurts her pretty bad so she still uses the crutches with light pressure on the foot until it feels a little better. When they took the cast off there was a lump on the side of her leg. The doctor said that he has never seen that before so in two more weeks he will see if the lump has gone down. If not we will need to get it looked at again.

Jordan is doing good. He has started working again, thank goodness. That kid goes though more money than I have. He is almost getting straight A's in school now. His medication is working well. He is going to the state play-offs this weekend in Boise and is pretty excited about that.

Ryker is battling something right now. He has had a fever of 101 to 103 these last four days and is starting to feel better today but he is still right at 100 degrees. So he is spending the day with grandpa Watt today.

We love you all.

Up date on Lockdown

The kids are going good. Jordan still doesn't understand how this could all happen over a girl breaking up with him.

They did find the boy about 8:00 that night. He had shot himself there on school grounds. I guess he drove his truck back to the school and hide out there on school grounds. They have not said where they have found him.

I am at work so I need to go.

Love you all

Jordan and Kenzie's school is in lockdown as I write this. Luckily Kenzie did not go to school today, her classmates are still in the autitorium and very scared. Jordan was there but because he had his own car, was searched, led out by four arm police officers, out to his car, then had his car searched, drove down the football field and then searched again before being let out onto the main road. Any of his classmates that did not drive to school that day are still there on lockdown. Thank you Sha for letting us buy your car. It has saved Jordan's life today.

They are saying a girl broke up with her boyfriend, he then went home got a gun and went back to school. His mom called the school and said she did not know what he was capable of. Once he got to the high school he noticed the police coming and ran over to the Jr. High to hide. Kenzie has been on the phone texting her friends but the jr high told the kids to stop talking and texting. So here we sit waiting for the rest of our friends and family to get out safely.

On another note, Kenzie's friend Morgan got the bad news about her knee. He ACL it blown out from her cheer fall. Also, today another cheer girl on kenzie's team went snowboarding for a school activity and broke her ankle. I guess Kenzie started a new trend.

We love you all. Please keep all of our kids in your minds. I don't know how much more of this is can take. I sure am grateful here again that my kids are home safe and that Heavenly Father is keeping a close eye on them. Kenzie would still be there now if she hadn't stayed home today. What a blessing from Heavenly Father. And that Jordan was told to cover the windows, lock the doors to his classroom, to try to keep the boy from seeing in or getting in. And now he is home safe. Heavenly Father has watched over him today. How gratefull I am for all Heavenly Father has done for me and my children.

Well I now have two cheerleading girls to take care of. Morgan, Kenzie's best friend, was also dropped in cheerleading and has possibly tore her LCL. Morg is spending the night tonight and I will just drive both of them to school tomorrow. Just think of having two girls hobbeling around on crutches. They are pretty upset because tomorrow is the Valentines Dance at school.

It was fun to hear from all of you. It's nice to keep in touch. We love you all. Steph

This is Ryker with his new Christmas bike. I thought getting a bike at Christmas was a bad idea because he couldn't ride it outside but he is burning up the carpet. Maybe be summer we can take the training wheels off.

Jord and Kenna at Grandmas house. We love you little Kenna.

Kenzie at the hospital

Kenie is doing better. We took her and had four of her permanent teeth pulled. So with her swollen face and her crutches it looks like I have beet on her. Hopefully she will be in a boot on the 21st of February.

Jordan is doing great. He really enjoying his car. He drives to school every day. He has had a great opportunity to go and shadow Dr. Peggy. He loved it. Dr Peggy is hooking him up with a Neuraligist doctor. That is what Jordan wants to be when he grows up.
Jord is accelling in Forensics (Speech and Debate). He has taken third, second, and second in the three sessions. He is on his way to taking state with his newest paper is writting. He loves to debate with me all the time and I am willing to let him win.

Ryker is loving prescool. He keeps me busy with daycare, preschool, an runs to the hospital to get his head glued back together. He is sure growing up and loves to play with Austin and Jake.

Troy is keeping busy at work. If you can call going to Jazz games and going to California to "check out" wheat. He is busy trying to get the equipment back in order and getting rid of the waste water at the warehouse. In -30 degree weather the pivot doesn't want to work to get all the waste water out of the pond. They spend many hours defrosting the pivot.

I am glad to have all my kids still alive after all the troubles they have gotten into this past year. The car wreck, Jordans arm in the belt at work, Ryker skalping himself in the nursery, my tonsils, and now kenzies leg. I was hoping that things would get better in 2008 but Kenzie kicked it off with a bang or a break I should say.

Thing have just fallen into place for them to be ok and get the best doctors in the area. I know that they are being watched over.
