So the day that I have been waiting for is quickly approaching! My family will once again be whole! Bradley will be home on March 7th at 4:00! It has been almost 3 years since we have all been together! 33 months of monday morning email will come to an end! I don't know what Brad has missed more, hunting or snowmachining, but the weather decided to wait untill the first of march to snow! So i guess he and Reece will be able to find some fresh powder somewhere! I'm sure there will be alot of spring riding this year!
Life has deffinatly been stressfull. Reece's truck was in the shop for 12 days. No money when it isn't in the field. That put his time off for when Brad gets home off and needing adjusting. Just when you think you have it all figured out....bam! Sitting. No moving truck means no money. Ches sat for 8 days of his 12 day stint. Then he got the dreaded call...his dad had a heart attack and needed open heart surgery. So Reece jumped in the pick up and drove to ND to work for 6 days so that he can come home when Brad gets here. We are praying that all goes well with Ches and his dad and that he will be able to go back to work. He wanted to stay for 3 weeks and make some good money and Reece wanted to stay home and be with his long lost son. It is all a waiting game now.
On feb. 20th i took leslie to the doc. She had been feeling icky for almost two weeks. They drew blood and had a urine test and did some looking around but couldn't really find anything. We went back in on the 24 and they sent us to the hosp for blood work and an ultra sound. Her blood count had almost doubled! The ultra sound showed a cyst and a slightly enlarged appendix. Over to doc 2 for a surgical consult. Doesn't look like appendicitis but all signs show appendicitis. Lets take it out. Back to the hosp. Surgery that night! She was sure telling alot of stories when she came out of anethesia! No secrets left untold! We did catch some of them on audio thanks to Bailey but no video :( She missed a day of softball tryouts while in the hosp. She came home sunday night and monday afternoon went to softball. They didn't let her do much thank goodness! Tuesday they announced the team and after being on the varsity team last year we figured she would be there this year. Nope. Lots of tears and confusion? Yes! We don't get it. They pulled up sophmores and freshmen.
Justin is playing on a traveling team. That is going to more or less consume my summer. He is gearing up for his last rising star concert. He loves it and wants to do school choir next year. The young mens team took second in our stake and are now playing for regionals. They won their first game yesterday without two seniors who are on the baseball team and couldn't make it because of baseball practice! Justin played almost the whole game and made a nice fade away jumper! He is a super defensive player!
I guess that is all for now. All our love! The phillips pham!

Time

My lesson on sunday was about "time". how much we have. how we let so much get by us. This year i hope to better manage my time! We went to Island Park for Christmas and at least there was a little snow. They had about 2 feet and it snowed the last 2 days we were there. I still cant believe that it is the 3rd of Jan and there is no snow on my dead lawn! today is Brads 22 month mark! I recieved his paperwork and he flies into SLC on March 7th at 4pm! I am so excited to have all my kids withing driving distance! And be able to call or txt if i want to! I hope 2012 finds everyone in good health and hope to be able to see everyone at the airport! Love ya
