Ken likes to break ribs!

Here we go again!

Saturday night Ken was replacing the U joints on the truck and he clearly was not thinking and he did not use the emergency brake. After he took out the last bolt the truck started to roll backwards. (We moved and our new driveway is a bit steep.) He was not able to get out from under it and something grabbed his sweatshirt and twisted him up underneath the truck. Phil was out there with him but was able to get out in time. Thank goodness Phil was there with him and he was not alone. Against his wishes I called 911 so an ambulance could bring him to the hospital. I realize head wounds bleed and scare people but I also knew he was hurt in other places because he was unable to breathe without pain. Remember he broke his back and ribs in May so I am getting pretty good with all of this stuff..............:) We were informed in the Emergency room that he would receive 4 stitches in his finger on his left hand, 10 staples in his head,(which apparently is equivalent to 30 stitches) and a nice couple of days in the hospital. The punctured lung and 5 broken ribs (the opposite side of the broken ribs from the motorcycle accident)are the reason for the hospital stay. We are hoping he can come home today. More then likely tomorrow though.

So there you have it, I know, I know, there were many other things that could have happened, however, they did not. For that we are most grateful and are extremely happy that these injuries are not life threatening.

Just one of his MANY bruises

Out of touch

Can you say out of touch? I can, we moved and we have not had the Internet in over 2 weeks. I was going crazy, I was having to go to a hotel parking lot to hook on to their wireless to write to Little Kenny....ugh!!! So for now we are using a wireless card from Sprint. I just wanted to say that on Thursday while you all are cooking, relaxing, or cleaning be sure to watch Good Things Utah. I did a segment on it for women over 40 that still want to look stylish. Yes, that's right, over 40, there I said it!!! Please, Please, Please, remember that Television puts weight on you. I feel it important to say however that I truly have lost quite a bit of weight since you all have seen me so just remember that I am not has FAT as I am going to look. Oh yeah, be sure to check Little Kenny's blog on what is happening with him.

General Conference

Sunday morning Kenny said "hey you know what we should do, we should go downtown and see if we can get into the afternoon session of conference." Of course I was thrilled with the idea as I have never had the opportunity to attend conference. Vicki and Phil went with us as well and Vicki left her house before we did so she could wait in the standby line. We had numbers 62, 63, 64, & 65. I was excited but still had no idea where these seats were. They actually save very good seats for people that wait in standby. I just wanted to share some of these pictures with everyone. Also, it was a "beautiful" day!!!

Our fall foliage drive!!!

Well you all know how much I love to take pictures of nature so here are a few more. I have always told my kids when you see something in nature that is beautiful it is Heavenly Father's way of letting us know he is in charge. Ken and I went for a ride last weekend on the motorcycle to see the leaves changing and to just be together (that doesn't happen a lot these days with me working 2 jobs) so here are a few pictures from the ride.

I wanted to go this morning but it is raining up here so it is snowing in the mountains...........:( I can tell you that it is "freezing", I had to turn on the heater to take the chill out of the air. Don't be jealous..........:)
