Ugh... computers... and a husband that refuses to fix it!

Okay, so maybe he doesn't actually refuse to fix my computer. He's still the sweetest computer dweeb I have ever known. We have attracted a cancerous computer virus. No, you won't get it, I am in "Safe Mode". Curt has taught me many things about computers and their many faults.
A few weeks ago, while I was on Facebook, I noticed a few things were acting funny and I asked Curt to take a look at it. He thought I was being funny and ignored me.
As with all things ignored, it got worse. I have had the hardest time logging into anything without 100 windows popping up.
Here comes the Hero... almost.
He does all that he can to fix this thing, but it has taken over all of the Firewalls, spyware detectors and every precaution that we have.
If you see anything come up as AntivirusPro 2009. DO NOT TOUCH IT! It looks like Windows, Tastes like Windows and IS NOT WINDOWS!!!!
So, here's what's next. Download all that we want to keep (10,000+) photos and software and delete the hard drive and start from scratch.
"Hail, Curtis, King of the Mellor Computer-dom, son of Lawrence and grandson of Francis and Anthon. Leader of the Great Children of Mellor and spouse of the Glorious Shellee of the Porter Realm. May he live in Glory to defeat the Antivirus of Pro, in the year of 2009."

Sunrise... Sunset...

Here Brandon looks so innocent and sweet...


What happened? I know that teenager "experiment" with their looks, but come on. Really? Earrings, Black Nail Polish, Rocker Boots, Satan Shirt?



Is this what happens to our youth when they move to Washington State from Zion?

Oh, Brandon, please tell me that you have not gotten tattoos.

I remember the days of "Barn-wah" and changing diapers. He loved Sesame Street. Now, he's "cruisin" the street. Darn you, time... you made this nice little boy grow up.

Thanks Bailey for sharing his school dance pic. (She said that the theme is "Opposites attract". Cute. Miss and Love you guys!)

Oooo.... Love Theme

I was checking what song was Number 1 on the charts the day I was born and it's...



Really?!? Barry White?!? Really? There is nothing better in this world that some "smooth jazz" with Jazz-flute! (Written with oozing sarcasm)

Ugh, are you kidding me?

Check this site out to see what song is YOURS!

Happy Birthday Mom & Welcome Home Dad!

Happy "You get to be on Medicare" Birthday Mom!

(this is NOT my mom and I am convinced this lady is drinking sparkling cider!)

I have to say a huge "Amen" after what my sister Jenny wrote!

For those of you who don't know, but last Monday night, my Dad had another stroke. Uuuggghhh!

I was made aware of this on Tuesday morning and halted all plans for the day, dropped Hayden off at Sarah's and spent the rest of the day with Dad. Mom and Jenny were there already and it really hurt me to see my him in this way. He started joking with the nurse and it immediately entered into my heart that everything was going to be alright.

For instance, he asked if his grandkids could come in an visit him... ALL 29 of them! I loved the expression on her face, that was so funny. She didn't get that it was a joke at first until Mom, Jen and I started laughing. I think from then on, they knew that we were not a serious bunch of people. BUT we did kind of attack the poor nurse when she wanted to give dad an "optional" sedative before he went down for an MRI and he had already said he didn't want it. Poor nurse!
We must have seemed a little Bi-Polar!

We took Jen's Wyatt to see him and then the next day took Hayden and Wyatt. He loves all of his grandkids and loves to watch them grow!

Curt and I took the kids to see him on Halloween in their costumes and we could tell that he liked that a lot.

All together, I really liked spending time with him and My mom.

Dad came home from the hospital on Saturday Night and seems to be feeling a lot better! Maybe this stroke reverse some of the damage from the first one! We can always hope!


I love this picture that Jen took. It's of Dad and Jen's awesome little guy Wyatt!

I am very grateful that Heavenly Father is letting us keep our Dad for a while longer!
