I swear, No more ER visits!!!!


I couldn't take a picture of her in the hospital bed, too sad!! Its hard to see the slice in her lip after the stitches but trust me it is not pretty!

It was too hard to take photos when it first happened so these are a few days later. And the swelling in both her cheek and lip has gone down significantly!
We got her a piggy bank painting kit to make her feel better when we were at border's, she is definitely a tough kid!!

Thaya fell at Border's books and hit her face on a plastic shelf!! We thought she was okay until the blood came out. She cut her cheek and split her lip on the outside and on the inside. She started to cheer up when the cafe inside gave her a cookie and ice cream. When we got home, an hour later, she was still bleeding. I didn't feel right not having a doctor look at it, so off we went to the ER. They said that since she split her lip on the lip line that she should get stitches to limit a scar. When they informed me that she had to be put to sleep to get it done I almost grabbed her and ran. Derrick asked the doctor what he would do if it was his kid, he said he would have it stitched. After many assurances that Thaya would be fine, they put her to sleep with a shot in her leg. They sewed her up and it took her an hour to wake up. It was very hard for Derrick and i to watch her that way but we know that it will be better than hoping it would heal well without stitches. I don't ever want that to happen again. I hated seeing my daughter lying there not moving. Needless to say Thaya is no longer allowed to move and if she does move, she must move slowly!!! Donna informed me (after watching her jump on and off the couch last night at the weekly Kelly family dinner) that this would not be the last of Thaya's visits to the ER! I wish that I could put my kid in a bubble!

Grandma, Papa and Charlie at the beach!

We went to Disneyland over the President's Day holiday and it was awesome!! Thanks to the Kelly family for doing everything to make the trip possible, to JP and Kristina for providing the place to stay (quite beautiful) and for Grandma and Papa Hicks for coming to have fun with all of us! The Kelly/Jack Clan went to San Diego on our way in so Katie could look at University of San Diego Law School and the rest of us went to Old town San Diego. It was so cute and had good mexican food! Then we went to La Jolla beach, saw seals and played by the water! Then off to the Hicks' home just outside L.A.!! We got up early and went to the Minnie Mouse and friend's breakfast. We enjoyed the rest of the day going on a lot of great rides and eating food! We wished we could have gone on more rides, there was so much we didn't see! Guess we will have to go again! on Sunday we went to a Beach in Santa Monica, CA and enjoyed a few hours of sun. Back to JP's and had a BBQ! We then begrudgingly woke up early and drove the 12 hours back to cold Springville/ Provo! At least the sun is out here too, it's just not 75 degrees! Thanks again to all those who made this a fun and very memorable trip!

Potty time!!!


My child has been potty trained now for almost 2 weeks. We have been off and on potty trained for 5 months but finally she is only interested in going in the big potty. She has gone all over Disneyland with no accidents and told us whenever she had to go. The whole drive to California, no accidents! This is a great thing! We have been praying for this stage for so long and we are there. I am also grateful that when we are at home she totally goes potty by herself, I don't have to ask her, she just goes on her own! This is the life! I will post about our trip to Disneyland when we get home! I have just been so proud of her this trip on her potty training that I had to post! Thaya has been so great! I love that she loves to go potty in the potty!!!!

This is for JP..



Here is your Hill Billy twin!!

1875?????




We found out that our house was not built in 1892, it was actually built in 1875!!
Crazy to think that Brigham Young was still alive when our house was built. This house has "seen" all the church prophets but 1! We lifted some photos from the city's historical website to see the house in the 30's(we are guessing that time frame). Plus we threw in a hilarious pic of Derrick's mom driving a tractor in 3 feet of snow, thought all you Rogers fam would get a kick out of that.

Gordon B. Hinckley Tribute

Wonderful video tribute to President Hinckley!!!!

Our little princess...






Thaya loves to dress up in princess outfits, infact she will dress up in any dress. She spends most of her time playing dress up. She also very much enjoys spending time with her daddy. Their favorite game now is for Thaya to stand on Derrick's hands, she loves it and begs for more, daddy's arms get very tired!!! She is getting so big!!!!
