No more accidents!! PLEASE!
So, my poor Kim was riding her scooter and took a major fall! And I mean MAJOR! She broke her right arm in three spots! I was inside packing and Shaylee came busting in the house screaming that her sister fell and was screaming outside. You could just hear the sheer panic in her poor little voice. I went flying outside and found her and a bunch of her friends sitting on the sidewalk. A neighbor was nice enough to stay with her until I got there and told me he believed it was just a sprain. I pulled back Kim's long sleeve sweater and her arm was bent in a not so very normal way. Now the sheer panic and heart skipping panic hit me. She was complaining of tingling and numbness in her fingers. Thank goodness for EMT training because it kicked in at that moment. I felt bad but had to find a pulse in her hand if not I was calling 911. There was no way that I could get her to the Emergency room fast enough with no pulse. Thank goodness I found one! I told her friends to meet me by my car with her and again I flew upstairs into my house, got my keys and purse and rushed outside to the car. I'm sure I probably looked like a complete crazy person lol! All turned out well two days later when she got her cast on and it stabilized it a lot better.
Pretty gruesome
We made a trip to Sheels and this was the first time I saw her smile in two days. Definitely made my heart sing seeing her smile again.
Spirit Week at School
Spirit week this year at school was so fun! They had a blast being rivals for Utah Utes and BYU. (GO UTES!!)
They also had 50's day! Kim was Sandra dee (the bad one) and Shay was the goody one. :)
Shay and Makayla's Superhero party!
The girls were asleep when Dan and I had decorated so they woke up to Superhero things everywhere, lol!
Spiderman
The Justice league
Pin the Shield on Superman!
Cake time!
Look at all the Superheroes!
Poor Grandpa got ambushed! LOL
The girls also had a visit from Cat woman!
Winter Palooza 2014
We had the opportunity to go to a fun activity called the Winter Palooza! There were a ton of characters to meet and the girls had a blast seeing them all!
Belle
Iron Man!
Shaylee's favorite princess! Snow white! She was absolutely adorable and went right up to Shay and started talking to her!
This is Kim's favorite character and she got super shy an refused to take a picture with him. He snuck up behind her and said in a very awesome Batman voice; "What are you doing?" She started giggling and he posed for the camera! So fun!
Kimberlee turns 10!!
Kim was so excited about her Harry Potter birthday party! She had friends from school and her best friend come over. They had potions class, spells, snacks and pictures with Harry Potter himself!
Grandma and Grandpa casting spells with the girls!
Some of her decorations!!

2013 Overview
This year has been an interesting and hard year for us. Throughout the year we definitely had some rough spots with health on all our parts and financial situations. We went Paleo at the beginning of the year to help improve our overall health. We each had our own reasons behind it as well. Some were more extreme than others but definitely worth it in the end!
Dan had surgery on his knee just recently and got a lot repaired in there
. Originally we thought it was going to be back surgery but they ended up finding the main cause of the pain all around. He is still recovering but definitely doing a lot better. He is currently still on the in house swat team for the Metro Jail in Salt Lake city. He hopes to further his career and possibly seeking new endeavors.
Ashlee is currently still working in the Security unit in the Metro jail as well. Now she also is a Correction Officer instructor for the Academy for radio etiquette. She came up with the program and recruited another individual from her unit to help with the teaching. She also is always looking for ways to advance her career and always moving forward.
Kimberlee definitely has had it hard this year. She had multiple health scares that ultimately turned out better than expected. She has also broken her arm twice and also had stitched in her lip. She is apparently either my daredevil or my accident prone kid. I haven't decided which one it is yet, lol! Kim also has recently turned 10 and feels like she is going on 16, lol! She definitely is excited about growing up and doing the "big kid' stuff.
Shaylee started the year out with health issues but recovered very quickly and is her bubbly self as always. She is always excited to try new things and is very artistic! She won an award in school for one of her art projects she submitted! She is always making me love notes that I like to tuck away and someday will show her again when she is older.
Makayla is the biggest clown there possibly is. She is always trying to make everyone laugh and is always ready to give out hugs if she thinks you need one, even if she doesn't know you that well. She is such a daddy's girl and absolutely loves to come visit as much as she possibly can. She also is artistic and absolutely loves to draw!
Overall this year has been good but definitely one of the roughest ones we have faced in a long time. We hope this letter finds you all well and are excited to see what endeavors next year will be bringing in!
Lots of love,
Dan, Ashlee, Kim, Shay and Makayla
