One year ago today!








It has been one year ago today since my brother Jakob's accident/explosion! He was unthawing a valve on a water truck that brings in waste water off of the oil wells and methane had built up in there and when he put the propane torch to it it exploded in his face! He was thrown about thirty feet back and broke his neck, fractured his skull, broke his cheek bones and eye sockets and he had third degree burns on his face, neck, and arms! He was taken by ambulance to the University of Utah because it was snowing so bad they couldn't get life flight, they shut the canyon down right after the ambulance and my mom and sister went through, the storm was horrible through the whole state that day they also shut the canyons down in Logan and Zac and I were not able to go down till the next morning! Surprisingly he was only in the hospital for two weeks, the doctors were expecting him to be there for at least a month! He made a very miraculous recovery and we are so very thankful that he is alive and with us today! That was probably the two hardest weeks of my families lives! I just wanted to say thank you to all of our family and friends who prayed, called, visited, sent food to the hospital and our house, and those men that gave my brother many blessings at the scene of the accident and while at the hospital I know that is the reason he is alive today! I can't imagine my life without Jakob here! Ya we don't always get along ha ha but I love you and I am so thankful that you are here with us today! So thank you to all of our Friends and Family... from my whole family!

Happy Birthday Padre!

I Just wanted to tell my Dad ~HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hate not being home to Celebrate everyone's birthdays but we will be home on Friday so we will have to Celebrate! Thanks dad for always helping us out when we need it! Love Ya! Dad....Chelsea made me put this picture on here!!! Explantion of Picture: If any of you know my dad he is a crazy nut. lol we were getting ready to go to the Toby Keith concert and this is how my dad came down, his shorts rolled up, his cowboy hat that he wears maybe once a year and a dodge bandana around his neck and his cowboy boots! The reason for the Dodge bandana, Toby Keith is a FORD fan and we are DODGE fans so he was trying to make a statement. lol My mom wouldn't let him go to the concert like this though! Ha Ha ~HAPPY BIRTHDAY~

Well I am finally getting around to blogging about our FIRST Christmas together! Yea! We went home to Emery County and We had our annual Christmas Eve party with my Dad's side of the Family at my Parents house! We had good Food, and we opened up the tradtional Christmas PJ's! Pictured is all the Grandkids that were there that night! After our party we headed over to Zac's Parents to open presents that night since his mom had to work 6 to 6 on Christmas day! Not FUN!!!! lol I will tell you, being Married Rocks you get twice the gifts! lol Zac's family gave us, Clothes, Games, a new dvd player and I got Home Decor, and Zac got a ton of Tools! We hung out there for awhile then headed back to my parents house to stay the night! We got up about 7:30 and opened presents with them. My parents gave Zac and I Nintendo DS's for the long rides home with the brain age games, Clothes, I got Clinque and Victoria Secrets stuff and Zac got underwear and body wash along with toothbrushes and things.HA HA Jakob gave us a GPS system for our cars and chelsea gave us Mamma Mia and The Dark Night! That day was a long day, from there we went to Flower and Papa's for Breakfast and to open presents, well we opened money lol, and then to price for lunch again with my Grandma and Grandpa Killian, then to the Nursing home in Ferron to see my Great Granny, then we went to Zac's and had dinner on the table when his mom got home from work! It was a great First Christmas together!

Zac's Brother Chad gave us all a trip to Vegas the day after Christmas! The boys all went to a UFC fight and Kay and I went to Phantom of the Opera, we all argue which was better! lol The boys met a ton of the fighters and were really close to the ring! We gambled a little but didn't lose too much and we walked the strip ALOT! Then Sunday made the drive from Vegas, to EC, to Logan. LONG DRIVE! Thanks for the trip Chad!

They had a great time! I didn't get any good pictures of me and kay at our girls night!

That was about it for us! New Years day we just layed around! Sorry for the long post I just wanted to get everything in.
