The End of the Tower Era.

So about 2 month ago (yes, very behind I know) my parents had the tower in our backyard taken down. My brother built this Ham Radio Tower about 12 years ago. He built over the summer and it stretched across our whole yard. I think it was about 150 feet tall. Well since it gets no use and is just an odd thing, they decided it was time to go.

They had a crane come in and hold it in place while they loosened the wires holding it in place from our roof and the big cement blocks the field.

Here is the Peanut Gallery. It was quite the event to watch!

They cut it away from the cement pad it was on and lifted it over the fence,

and layed it on the ground. It was crazy to see this giant thing floating in the air.

This was on the top of the tower. You can see how big it was.

These big cement things were buried in the field behind our house. They were holding in place from tipping over on our house. ;) They were pretty massive too.

Then when they had every thing pulled up and on the ground, they cut the tower into 3 big pieces and put in on the truck.

This is the finished product.

These are pretty random pictures, I know, but it was pretty interesting to watch.

Prayers for Sherri and Baby Dylan

So i basically copied this from Heidi's blog but she knew more info than me.

My sister-in-law Sherri delivered her baby this morning (6-23-08) 7 weeks early in a very unusual way.....needless to say Sherri will be released from the hospital this afternoon and the baby has been life flighted to Loma Linda in southern california. They have decided to name him Dylan Teancum....he is very well developed except for his lungs. At this time he can not breathe on his own and will most likely be in the hospital for more than a month. Please send prayers her way.....Thanks

HERE COME THE NEWLYWEDS!!!!

So there is this great show on ABC on Sunday nights and Jon and I LOVE it. Its called "Here Come The Newlyweds". It is pretty hillarious. It like a new version of the old newlywed game that used to be on TV. The contestants have competions every week that test how well the couples know each other. Jon and I play along everyweek and we ROCK at all the answers.
We have got to find out how to get on this show!! Wouldn't that be fun?

Well here's our favorite team the Moutra's.

They are so hillarious and totally liven up the show. We really hope they win.

Babies

So I know this is a random post but i found this poem the other day i really wanted to share.

On the 18th Jon's cousin, Buggy had a beautiful baby girl, Grace. She was born with HLHS, which basically means that the left side of heart is severly underdeveloped, and without surgery she would not be able to survive. She's had a rough start but seems to be doing good now with the treatments planned for her. Anyways i found this poem and wanted to share it.

It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that she is just going for a visit. She is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. She asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart". "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."

My cousin Carol also had a baby in October that had some problems after she was born and they just recently found out the she is allergic to many things, with the biggest on being milk. This will defianetly be a big change in their whole families life. It has just made me realize alot lately that you never really know what could happen at anytime, and to cherish every day.

PILOT SLOT!!!!!!!

I just have to write anid say how proud and excited I am for my man Jon. We found out today unexpectedly that Jon got a Pilot slot!!! Yahoo. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means that after he graduates in December he is guaranteed a spot at Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT). And he will defianetly be a pilot for the Air Force. Im so excited. We've been waiting for so long to find out if he got it or if he got something he didn't want as much. But we won't find out where or when he will be going to pilot school. We won't find that out til probably October of November. But the options for pilot training are Ohio, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida. After Pilot training he is hoping to get the f-22's which then we could be stationed in Alaska or Virginia. This is all pretty exciting for a little girl who's never lived outside of the Cache Valley Bubble. We don't expect to move until about a year from now. Thats all we know for now. I just wanted to post and tell everyone how proud I am of Jon. I LOVE MY PILOT.
