GI Jane

Regan has been getting so strong now....after being excellent at her tummy time she has started to push forward and do an army crawl....if we are lucky, she will crawl like Ian did at 6 months...even with a cast on his little broken leg. It was almost worth it when Newt Gingrich signed it.

Pay Care


The past five months after the birth of Reagan have been trying on our family and I have been in so much pain it has been difficult to take cake of Ian. After many trips to the ER....various Dr appointments and hrs of physical therapy my ability to care and entertain Ian and Reagan became increasingly difficult. We had just moved into a new ward and knew no families that he could play with yet. On top of that, I was told that I should not drive more then 10 minutes a time which meant that I could not drive up to Golden Valley to hang out with people we already knew and Ian was becoming a little stinker with out getting the atttention and activity that he needed every day. After a week, our Relief society leader told us about a lady in our ward who did day care....she lived about 5 minutes away and she was w/in our budget. It was an answer to our prayers. For about a week Ian would cry every day he went....it was heartbreaking. But now after about 2 weeks of going he is adjusting ok. His last week is this week. My Physical Therapist says by March, I should be back to normal....until then....kepp mein your prayers.

Blessings








On the Sunday before it was our last at the Crystal ward, Tyler gave a beautiful blessing to our daughter Reagan. Shortly after the blessing Tyler then raised Reagan up in her blessing outfit....much like Mufasa did with Pumba when he was first born. Then he is swiftly pulled aside and asked to confirm 2 recently baptised gals...a mother and a daughter and finally....he gives the talk he was asked to give. Before the talk begins, our bishop jokes that today is the "Tyler Shaw Show". And it was indeed.
