I just thought since people have been asking so many questions, I would update you all on my back. First of all, I want to say thanks to all those who have been praying for me. I have definately felt your love and support and the holy ghost has been with me. My surgery went well, no major complications. The pain is still there and it is becoming a challenge to have a good attitude. I have found that I'm not as patient with my kids and I have NO energy. It mosty makes me feel bad for the boys because they have and require a lot of energy. I am not back to work yet, but will hopefully be cleared for work next week. It is a worry though because I have to be able to life 25 pounds repetitavely, bend and twist at the waist, do chest compressions and everything else that goes along with my job. We will just have to wait it out and see and I'm not good at playing the waiting game. Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers. It definately helps keep my spirits up when I know how much we are loved!

So Sweet

It was definitely a challenge getting some good photos with a three year old and a two year old! I'm sure all of you who have little children understand. We have all been doing well. I am recovering from a recent back surgery (ouch). Ben just turned two last month and Isaac will be turning four in February. Our life is pretty good!

Christmas

We had a lot of excitment at our place for the holidays. We had Ben's Birthday party and the Guthrie Family gift exchange all in the same day. Everyone did have a good time and the presents took over the place.

The Kids all especially had a great time playing with each other and opening their gifts from each other. We were even treated to a wrestling match between Carlton and Nate.








On Christmas morning at our house it was more of the same. Presents and the paper from them completely taking over. The boys had a lot of fun though. Isaac was so excited that he could hardly wait. Ben on the other hand got so focused on the first one or two gifts that he could care less about all of the others. We had a great Christmas and hope all of you did as well.
