Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my wonderful mother. She is such an amazing person. Oh what would I give to have her a little closer. I hope you have a great day and the best dinner ever. Aubrey took this picture of "Grandma" when she was here a couple of weeks ago. WE LOVE YOU.

Jonathans Surgery







Oh...where do I begin. It has been the longest month, probably in my whole life. Jonathan had his left knee scoped on the 4th of Sept. It had been bothering him every time he would work out, play basketball, or stand for long periods of time (which is all the time since he is a teacher and coach). So he chose to get is scoped. They cleaned up behind his knee cap and also realigned the knee cap. The doctor said his knee was so worn out it looked like an OLD persons knee. It all began when the hospital told us we HAD to be at the hospital at 12:45 to prep for his surgery and the surgery was suppose to start at 2:00. They didn't start on him until 6:00pm. We waited in prep for 5 hours. AAAHHHH. He was out of surgery in less than an hour. Things seemed good till we got home around 9:00. He was in so much pain (Like he had just been tortured) that we went to the emergency room. They gave him a shot of morphine which helped to calm it a little bit. The next 2 days were going OK. He did his exercises as told by the P.T. Around 2:00 in the morning on the 7th we were in the E.R. again. His pain was even worse than the 1st time. They gave a couple of shots of Morphine which only worked for about 10 minutes each. Finally they put a line in his hand to give him the Morphine straight into his vein. They did that until about 8:00 in the morning when the pain finally slowed down. He had developed a Hemotoma (spelling?) After many doctor visits of trying to drain his knee, they finally were able to drain quite a bit of blood out of it today. He is beginning to show a lot of improvement these past couple of days, but still not all better. Thank you all for your help and prayers. I am so greatful for all of the wonderful family and friends that I have in my life. You are all truly the BEST. THANK YOU.

This Week


It has been a while since I have posted pictures of Aubs. She got her hair cut yesterday for the first time in a Salon. She did so good and loved it. Thanks Megan. She also went with Jonathan and G-ma Packer to glean potatoes. I had to stay home and work but looks like she enjoyed it. I will try post the pictures that I took in September in a couple of days.

OUR NEW CAR...Yeah


Well, we have finally decided to get a new car. Actually, we didn't really have a choice. Our little "Suzy" (Sidekick, Suzuki) Finally broke down on us. We will miss her terribly. It is a Ford Explorer. I am so excited to have something more reliable. Thanks Dad Hansen for all of your help choosing this car...your the best.

Commercial



She was 6 lb 15 oz, 18.5 in long. (No Name yet, They are calling her Mayzie).
My Brother-in-law took this picture. It was too late for all of their girls (this is girl #5) to go to the hospital to see the new baby so they Skyped them. I think they need to send this picture to Apple/Mac so they can make it a commercial. You can just see the excitement that they all have seeing their new baby sister for the first time. Love you guys and CONGRATULATIONS.
