Two weeks ago Jasper & his friend Tilly got hit by a car. It was awful. We saw the whole thing happen. We were unloading groceries and chatting with our neighbors for a minute while the dogs were playing on the porch. Just as a car came around the corner we saw the dogs chase each other out in the parking lot and right in front of the car. It happened so fast. Jasper went under the front wheel of the car and rolled under before flipping out the back. Tilley luckily didn't go under. We took them both to the Emergency Animal Hostpital in St. George. Tilley was limping but her x-rays were good and she was ok! Poor little Jasper though...he sure took a beating. His front left leg was broken and he has staples in his back leg. He was covered in road rash and there were quite a few gashes under his belly and legs. He had to spend the night in the hospital hooked up to IV's and moniters. It was the saddest thing ever. We are so happy that he is alive though! And he is healing so well. Within a week he was walking on his own again and now we can't keep him still! He is so ready to be better and out playing. But he still has 4 weeks in his cast so he will have to have patience. He is getting lots of loves and treats though so he can't be that bad! My mom came and stayed with us for the first few days to help out. He couldn't get up, sit up, or walk on his own. Everytime he had to go to the bathroom, he'd whine really loud and we'd have to carry him outside and help him stand. He was miserable. Cooper sent him some pictures he painted and home made doggie bones to make him feel better...and it worked! Here are some pictures of the little man from the last few weeks.

Jasper with ice packs and an IV...so sad

The day we brought him home.

He couldn't life his head well the first few days so we had to feed him by hand.

Mmm....

Christmas Pictures

We spent Christmas morning at my house with the family. Everyone was there except Holly, Dave, Austin & Braxton who we missed very, very much!!! Cambree is getting so big and this is the first Christmas she really understood what was going on. She was such a big helper when it came to pulling the wrapping paper off! She definatly got the mother load but she is a good little girl and deserved it all! I sure love my family and can't wait to go home and see them again.

Opening my "special" present from Holly & Dave. It was a kinetic energy machine! Seriously! Holly made it in school. It was my favorite!

Mi papa!

Mi Mama! Cole made that pitcher in ceramics. He's really good.

Everytime someone would open a present, Cambree would clap! So cute!

Jasper & Ruger playing! They are die hards!

Chad & Anna

Derek, Christie & Cameron

Grandpa & Cambree Lynn

Andrew, Christie, Derek, Cameron, Cole, Chad, Anna, Mom...Just after we all woke up!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Jamie Cole!

Yup! I know this is really late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY Cole! He is a big boy now at 25! We opened his birthday presents on Christmas Eve with his family so if it looks like Christmas...it pretty much was. Here are a few pictures from that night. My favorite present was the one Savanah gave him. She colored him the prettiest picture of a colorful carwash! It's not Utah...it's a carwash! She is such a sweetie!

Our Christmas Tree

This year we went to chop down our very own Christmas tree! It was my first time hiking through the snow for the perfect pine and I had a blast! We were so lucky becuase they weather ws great and we spotted the tree from the road so we didn't have to hike too far up the mountain! We took Jasper along and he loves the snow. We put it up the second we got home and decorated it that night! So much fun! I love Christmas!

Lately...

Here is a quick update on our busy life and some cute pictures!

For Halloween this year (yes I know I should have posted this a month ago!) Cole and I had to help out with the Institute Trunk-or-Treat...because it is our calling! But we were happy to do it and love being Institute Reps! It was supposed to be outside and all the cars were going to be parked in a circle with the candy in the trunks...but we had to have it inside the institute building because of the weather so it wasn't a fun as it should have been! But still fun! There were alot of people, candy, donuts, hot chocolate, and music! Each ward had to decorate a doorway (instead of a car). Chad, Anna, and Cambree came up from Saint George to help. We were all Zombies if you couldn't tell. And 15 minute Zombies at that! I got off work just in time to throw on that awesome dress and slap on some makeup. I wish you could see my shoes in the picture. They were lovely. Cambree was a spooooky witch! And refused to wear her hat most of the night... but she was still cute!

The day after Halloween, Cody blessed Macy. We went to visit her Halloween night in hopes of catching her and Savanah in thier cute costumes, but Vani was still out catching the candy and Macy was bathed and ready for bed! I snatched a cute picture with Macy...check out my sweet t-shirt! Don't be jealous.

I was able to go home for Thanksgiving...but Cole had to stay home and do HOMEWORK! I felt so bad. It's his crazy O-CHEM class and it's ruining our lives... Ok, that is extreme but it is seriously putting a damper on things. Like Thanksgiving! I went to Delta Thursday morning and came back home Friday morning. While I ate turkey and mashed potatoes, Cole ate Burger King... because it was the only thing open. Sad stuff. I did bring him home some good eats though. And we did have a ward Thanksgiving dinner earlier in the week. Jasper had fun though! His best buddy Ruger was there to play with so he was non-stop crazy for 24 hours. All my family was home (minus my husband) and it was good to see everyone. I love my family sooooo much! Both of my families! I didn't get to see the Rasch's on my short lived trip and I miss them very much but we will be home for Christmas in a few weeks and we will see you all very soon! Here are some pictures!
