Just a quick update.

Well I think I am finally caught up with our blog.

Just to give everyone a quick update, Jason is doing great from his surgery. He did end up having blood clots in his legs two weeks after the surgery. So he is still on blood thinner and has to wear those cool white circulation socks. As for the neck brace, he is still wearing it, but only when he drives, around alot of people, or knows that he will be walking on slick side walks.

As for Glenda, she is still working at the hospital, but has a new position. She is over all the purchasing of supplies and equipment for the hospital. It is a salary position. She works Monday thur Friday, but it is VERY flexible. NO MORE 12 hour shifts. Last week was her first week of training, plus she was still covering on the floor with her old positions. For a two week period she worked 108 hours. She is very excited for this position and feels very blessed that she was asked to take this position.

For everyone that usually receives a Christmas newsletter from us. One is coming out very soon. It wont be a Christmas letter of course, but it will give you an update of what has been going on this year.

We are sadden by the passing of our dear Prophet, Gordan B. Hinckley this past week. We have been reflecting on all the great things he has done for the church. We are sad, but very happy to know that he is with our Heavenly Father and his dear wife.


p.s. Who ever is leaving me posts named, "Yours Truely" please let me know who you are. I have not been able to figure out who they are coming from.

Zach at the Orthodontist

Zach has finally come to a stage with his orthodontic work that he his having major work done on his teeth. The Dr. thinks that by April he will have his braces on. Here are a couple of pics of the last few weeks. We have been going every week for the last 3 weeks and have 3-4 weeks where we have to go weekly.


January 18, 2008 Week 1

Zach went in this week to have xrays and spacers put in between his teeth. No to bad

January 23, 2008 Week 2

Took the spaces out and fitted him for his bands that will go on the top back teeth. These bands will hold the appliance that he will wear for 3 months.

They took a mold of this top teeth so they can attach the bands to the appliance that will go on the top of his mouth.


January 28, 2008 Week 3

This is Dr. Graff. He thought I was a great mom because I brought my camera. So he said I could take his picture with Zach. I like him because he calls Zach, "Zacharoo" We have only one other friend that calls him that, so we thought it was kind of funny when he said that to Zach.

This is what Zach looked like after they cemented in the appliance. This appliance is at the top him mouth and everyday I have to tighten it with a key. Zach is doing good, but he hurts for a couple of hours after we tighten it. We go back next week to see if this is working, if it is not the Dr. said that he will have to have some surgery on his jaw. Keep your fingers crossed we will not have to have that done. We will keep you updated.

Sledding at Grandma's

January 12, 2008

Since we have had so much snow, Zach has been able to go sledding alot. Grandma Tolman has a park behind her house with a nice hill. I have to say this has been a great winter when it comes to snow.

Abby and Dallin waiting their turn at the top of the hill.

Zach in total concentration that he is going to hit the ramp and catch the most air.

This is Zach's best friend Ben. I wonder where his sled went. I guess he hit the ramp wrong.
