I'm so happy with them and can't wait to see the rest.

Help!

What a first Fathers day for Stuart! We woke up this morning to find that someone had broken in to our house, stolen my purse, my phone (so don't try to call me) 4 ipods, our camera, Lafaunda wallet, Mark gold watch and worst of all OUR CAR! Yes our Subaru that is not even a year old yet! I hate thieves. Grrrrr! So we spent our morning with the Cottonwood Heights Police and all the credit card companys canceling our credit cards.

So, if any one happens to see a White Subaru Outback with a Tan Britax carseat in the back with the license plate number
B95 6BB
...please call the police. Thanks!

Nanny?

So I am looking for a girl that would like a little nanny job. I need someone on Fridays from 12:30 until Stu gets home between 4 & 5, then in the fall 12:30 - 6. If any of you know anyone that might be interested please let me know!

Jane

So Ryan had some work things come up so I'm out. If you know someone who's going have fun. I hope the rest of you get this before you leave, sorry!

Movie Time

The flowers have nothing to do with the post, I just like them! Anyway while some of the out-of-towners are in town we thought it would be fun to go out with the girls next Thursday the 6 in the afternoon sometime. You can post or text me and let me know if you can make it!

A Visit

Hey, Ladies. I'm coming to Utah for a week and think it would be nice to see my girlfriends! Either a playgroup with kids or a girls only lunch/dinner outing would be fun. Or both. :) We'll be coming April 30th and leaving May 8th. Maybe during the week would be best, like Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday? I'd love suggestions of what to do, since I kind of forget what it's like to live there and have so many options. Even if we can't get together, I'd like to hear of your favorite places to take kids, eat, or go out. Let me know! Thanks.

Play Group

Hey everyone,

I am going to be in Utah this Thursday (april 1-April 8th) I was hoping you guys had a play group during that time that I could come join! I would love to see everyone (as many as I can, at least) while I'm there and Luke would love to play with everyones kids.

Good News!

Stu was accepted to the University of Utah Medical School!

Clint & Patrice...

Since we are trying to get the word out about Clint and Patrice, Meg asked me to post this on our "friend" blog. So...here is the info. Any help they can get would be appreciated.

Wednesday morning Patrice was running late and wasn't going to make it on time to pick up Bode from Pre-school. Clint works close to the Pre-school so Patrice called him to see if he could swing by and pick him up. Shortly after Patrice received a call from Bode's pre-school teacher to see if anyone was on their way. Patrice was instantly alarmed and drove to Bode's pre-school going the route that Clint would've taken. She came upon a tragic accident only to discover that the mangled truck was Clint's. Clint's truck collided with a cement truck at a very notorious intersection. As she pulled up the paramedics were loading Clint on a stretcher and putting him into the "Life Flight" He was then flown to the Ogden Regional hospital. Once Clint arrived at the hospital the paramedics and doctors realized that his head trauma was so serious that he needed to be put into a drug induced coma. Due to the coma they also had to insert a breathing tube as well as many other tubes. This was a precaution that helps to slow the swelling and bleeding in the brain.

From the time he entered the hospital until Thursday we received very little news. We fasted and prayed that the bleeding and the swelling would subside. The doctors informed us that he had sustained other injuries in the accident, but as a precaution they chose not to treat them until he was stabilized. Thursday afternoon our prayers were answered, the neurologist informed us that there had been no additional swelling and the bleeding had stopped and would heal on its own. Late Thursday we were also encouraged to see Clint would squeeze hands and blink to communicate.

This morning brought more good news, the breathing tube came out and slowly he began talking. Also another CT scan was done and the neurologist predicted that he would have a full mental recovery. He was also then able to communicate to the doctors that he was in a great deal of pain. At this point the doctors were finally able to address the other injuries sustained in the accident. They determined that he has broken his back (fracturing three vertebrae), as well as vertically fracturing his tibia (shin bone), along with some kind of injury to his shoulder that has yet to be determined. Tomorrow morning Clint will go into surgery to receive plates and screws to repair the damage on the fractured tibia.

Many have asked what they could do and how they could help. So we decided tonight to set up an account in Clint’s name to help offset some of their expenses. As you may or may not know Patrice is expecting their 3rd child this July 2010. Like many young couples in this stage of life money is tight and this accident has been a major concern financially for Patrice and Clint. A donation of any amount would help ease their burden that they are baring at this time. We are grateful to know at this point that his mind should recover fully. Patrice has already expressed the feelings of comfort she has felt from your support and many prayers offered in their behalf. If you would like to help and make a donation you may do so by one of the following ways:

Go by any America First Credit Union and tell them you want to donate to Clint Pedersen, acct. # 9040270.

Or if you have an America First C.U. account, you can make a direct transfer from your account to his Clint Pedersen acct. #9040270.

Or you can mail a donation to: Clint Pedersen, Acct. #9040270America First Credit UnionP.O. Box 9199Ogden, UT 84409

Thank you again for all the concerns, prayers and support.

With much love the Pedersen and Knudsen Families

2 YEARS!!!

He's finally home!!! And of course he made us all wait, he was the last one off the plane, we even saw the pilots come down before him! It was SOOO great to see him coming down. Hallie was instantly holding his hand and giving him HUGE hugs, Blake instantly wanted to wrestle and Matt gave him a quick hug and it was back to someone familiar! It's awesome having him home!!!

The party will be on December 22 at 6:00 I'll be making some kind of soup, and a pasta salad, if I can have you guys bring whatever it is that sounds tasty to you. Post what you'll bring so others can plan as well. Thanks a bunch!

Small World

Hey guys!

Talk about a blast from the past.....Brian McMullin lives 3 blocks away from me! He is in the D.O. program here in AZ! And, remember Dr. Bentley (Hillcrest choir)? I went to dinner last night with his cousin--she's in my ward!!

Hope all is well with everyone!!

Ideas?

Hi everyone! I have a wedding coming up for my BIL in December and am wondering if any of you have something that I could borrow for the wedding!

The colors are fall colors: gold (which I will look horrible in), a burnt orange, brown and ivory oh and olive green. I'm thinking brown and ivory will be my best bets. Keep in mind I will be 8 months pregnant roughly! So I'm looking for anything-tops and skirts, a dress, I don't think it's too fancy if you know what I mean! I've been looking online, but everything is soo expensive so I thought I'd ask all of you!

Anyway, if you have any ideas, let me know! Thanks! Nicole
