Well we have recieved so much snow that the new Jr.High and Mid School flooded, the parking lot at the High School has so much snow that they can't get it all cleared. So that means the kids can't return to school till Wednesday and that's only 9-12 grades. They are hoping the new school will be open by Thursday, but the K-4 will be out for the week. I have enjoyed spending time with the kids, but I think we are ready to go back to normal life!!!!!!! The games sceduled for this week are still on, don't understand that? Can't complain, tho, its my last week of ticket taking until September.
Dave will work 6 of his 7 days off , good money, so can't complain on being so blessed with overtime!!!They are working round the clock with all of the crews they have. Pinetop got 6 ft of snow so they are having a lot of power trouble. We hear there is more snow on Wednesday and Thursday.
Everyone be safe out there and stay SANE!!!!

Haiti Relief Effort
Hi everyone!
My sister Kristal is putting together hygiene kits and blankets for the Haitian relief efforts. She is asking for donations or money to make 20 blankets and 200 hygiene kits. She wants to deliver them to the LDS Humanitarian Service Center by March 13. You can go to her site--- http://www.joyclan.blogspot.com/
She has information on how to make the kits and the blankets. This is a great way for all of us to come together and help in a great way!
Thanks,
Wendy

Sky's surgery
What a day we had yesterday! Sky had to go down fasting which didn't make him happy at all!! We arrived at the clinic at 11:00 am and waited and waited and WAITED! He finally went in to be prepped at 1:30 and went in for surgery at 2:30. Then Dave and I waited and waited and WAITED till 5:00. Finally, Dr. Graff came out and told us that the initial hit to the eye actually did more damage than they first thought. Skyler now has an oil bubble, buckle, and fixed tears in his eye. The oil bubble will be in for 6-8 weeks. The dr. also said that the blow to his eye caused his lens to shift. So that will probably cause a cataract. When we finally got out of the clinic, we went to get something to eat and then went to Walgreens to get his prescriptions. By that time it was 8:00 pm, he had also developed a migraine besides having his eye hurting. So we decided to stay the night, and thought that would be better for Sky to not have to be cramped up in the little car. He didn't sleep well, but coming home he slept more.
Sky had a checkup with Dr. Blair in Show Low today, he had taken a Vicadine without eating, the nurse put a drop in his eye to check his eye pressure. Since he hadn't eaten he got really dizzy, he freaked out the nurse to say the least! They gave him some juice and granola bar. He was fine and Dr. Blair says everything looks great. He is optimistic that Skyler will be able to play next year with protective eyewear, of course.
He will be out of school till at least Tuesday or Wednesday, which really worries Sky because of missed assignments from his classes. I'm sure his teachers will understand.
Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers, they were felt!!

BUMMER NEWS FOR SKYLER
We just came back from Sky's eye appointment and found out his retina is detaching again and he has more tears in it. We have to go to Mesa tomorrow for emergency eye surgery. He can't finish the basketball season, which is such a bummer because he was going to play more:(
He is not very happy now, but to be apart of the team he is going to be their manager and hopefully will be able to at least workout in practice with them. It will only be low impact practicing but to be with the team is really important to him. He is such a trooper, we love him so much. Hopefully this little bump in the road will be a blessing in disguise! Don't know whats ahead for Sky, but he is taking it all in stride.

Grandma Burnham's 95th birthday
The second picture is of my mom, her siblings and my Grandma Burnham. There are two sister's missing, Shirley died when she was a few days old and my Aunt Marion died sometime back. My grandma is a fire cracker, she is still active and lives on her own. I love her so much!!! We had a nice time visiting family and meeting new cousins. I think my mom takes after her a lot, she is always doing things like sewing, community service or doing things for family.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Wish I had some pictures to post but I have lost the disk that all of our family pictures were on and my little computer does not have away of downloading pictures either:( So just decided to post some happenings in our family.
Summer is doing well in Las Vegas. She is with her boyfriend that she met there in February. She did pass her Phlebotomy test in May and is still in the process of getting her Nevada license. She is anxious to start working. It's no fun not having any money! We worry about her being so far away but having Aunt Kandra 30 minutes away from her helps!
Autumn is loving not going to high school anymore, but is anxious to start some schooling in the near future at NPC. We just signed her up to take a 3 weekend course in preschooling. It is through the Yavapi college and will be held at the NPC here. She will miss 3 Sunday's, which bumms us, but know this will help her in the future. She is the young single adult rep for our ward, and is in the primary doing whatever they need her to do.
Skyler is just centimeters away from 6'6"!!! He really towers over me now and even his dad!!!! He has had some playtime on the basketball team. He is really learning to be aggresive.(It just isn't in his nature)! He is getting quite a few rebounds. He will have a lot easier school load this next semester, this last semester just about made him, and mom, go nuts!!!!
Hunter made the 7th grade basketball team! He is so excited, his best friend is the manager, and they can't wait for the first game. He is growing so fast now. I predict he will be towering over me in less than 2 years! He is such a ladies man, even though most of them come to him for boyfriend advice. He is doing well in school and is getting good grades.
Clay is enjoying 4th grade. His best friend Elysse is moving to PA on Christmas day, so he is kind of sad, but thinks he will survive! She was taller than him by 2 inches so now he will be back to being the tallest in his class. He makes friends so easily, and is popular in his class.
Dave and I have been so blessed to have such awesome children entrusted to us! We love them all so very much:)
Dave is going to take the big electrical test in January! Makes me nervous for him because it is such a dificult test. He is studying hard and trusts the Lord knows what's best for him. He loves going to work and really likes the people he works with. He will be going from a 4 on 4 off schedule to a 7 on 7 off next year! We are so excited, it will be a more steady schedule. It will be 7 days, 7 off, 7 nights, 7 off. We can plan for trips or activities better and have a consistant paycheck!
He keeps busy outside of work with bishopric, kids and lots of basketball games!
I'm keeping busy as a Domestic Goddess and love it!!! I really love this chapter in my life. I still have kids at home, but can leave for awhile if I need to. There are still challenges, especially with teenagers but I'm learning to trust my Heavenly Father that he won't give me anything I can't handle. I have been blessed with many wonderful friends and family that makes life so much easier!
I have 13 Beehives now and love everyone of them! They have so many personalities that make it very interesting. I also take tickets for the high school games which is fun and gives me alittle extra money.
Well guess I have rambled on too much now. We wish you the Merriest Christmas and Happy New Year!

ITS ABOUT TIME??!!!
I guess I've put writing off long enough! Besides having major computer issues and everyday life, I guess I haven't felt like posting. So not much has happened since I last posted. Summer turned 21, I can't believe she is that old/young! Guess that makes me old! She is doing well, trying to get her Phlebotomy license for Nevada.
Autumn is doing a little babysitting for my nephew James' son. She really loves to watch him, he is such a cutie!!!She is wanting to move somewhere, Utah or Phoenix but not sure about jobs, or places to stay. I don't blame her, there's not alot of things for young adults around here.
Skyler made the basketball team!! He was at practice 2 weeks ago, they were doing a drill called Hamburger. Its a no rules drill to help them with players that play dirty. He had the ball in the air and alot of hands trying to get to him, being 6'5" he is the tallest on the team, the boys could only reach up to his face. One of them accidentally hit him in the eye. When I picked him up he was complaining that he couldn't see. The next day was Veteran's Day and luckily Dr. Blair was working that day in Snowflake. He got Skyler in right away, after some tests he sent Sky to Show Low to see Dr. Graff who is an eye surgeon. He had Sky in emergency laser surgery! Sure didn't see that coming(no pun intended).There was more damage than we thought. His retina was torn in 3 places and blood had collected in his eye. He has healed really well. He wasn't able to practice for 2 weeks, so won't play in the first game at least, maybe two. I'm hoping he will be able to play Dec. 9 so he can play against Heber:)
Hunter is doing well also, he will have basketball tryouts in a couple of weeks. He is still quite the ladies man. He has a ton of "sisters" in his group of friends.
Clay is also doing well, loves his school teacher. She is pretty amazing!!
David is trying to get his big electric test passed, it is a pretty intensive test. There are 150 questions in 6 categories. They take 125 of those and he needs to pass with 96. He took the first try in October and got 84. So he didn't pass, but he is studying with one of his co-workers who just passed it. He is really smart and is helping Dave alot!!!
I am staying busy with the family duties:) I'm still with the Beehive group, I now have 13 giggly girls that keep me young and updated on all the latest news in the entertainment and fashion industry!! Gotta love 'um.
Well better go, I think I have taken the whole page and your probably wondering when this will ever end. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! Especially to all of my family, I love you all so much!!!!!!!!

Girls Weekend in Vegas
I don't have my pictures right now, but if you go to my sister's site (Owens family) you can see alot of what we did. I actually drove my car up there and took Autumn and my mom. Dave knew how blonde I am so he made sure that I had a GPS!! I have wanted one for along time. I drove all over Las Vegas and didn't get lost!!
When we got up there I went and got Summer, it was so good to see her! We stayed in a time share that my mom and Shannon have. It was really nice. Kristal came with her 2 girls, Shannon and her 3 girls, mom and Kandra, me and my 2 girls.
The first night we went to the pool and had pizza. Saturday, Summer and Autumn went over to Shannons room and helped watch the little girls so that we could go to the Temple. We did 45 inititories (sp?). What an amazing experience!!! The temple is so gorgeous, and to share this with my family was so neat. We all went bowling in the afternoon, it has been awhile since I've been, but we had a blast!!
That night we went to the Lion King. If you ever have the chance to go you better GO!!!!!! The costumes are so incredible, the imagination for putting the animals together is awesome!
Sunday, Shannon and her girls had to go back to St. George so the rest of us went to Kandra's ward. Then went back to her house for lunch. Mom, Kristal and her girls left for St. George to see Kristal's in-laws. Autumn and I took Summer back to her place and then went to Kandra's to babysit Gavin while they went to a special fireside for their stake. We had so much fun with the G-Man.
Monday, Autumn and I traveled the long road home. Thanks to my mom and sisters for an awesome weekend! May have to make it a couple of days longer next year:)

NEVER FORGET!!!
I saw the video below and thought it was amazing!! My thoughts and prayers are with all the families whose loved ones were murdered 8 years ago today.
I just wanted thank all of those who are serving or have served in the Armed Forces. I respect you all so much and am so grateful I have my freedoms because of you!
I especially want to thank those in my ward, Justin Hall, Thomas Montoya,and Austin Gwynn, who have just recently joined. Thank you so much and also a huge thanks to their families for their sacrifice in sharing their loved ones to keep us free!
