The Wilcox Family

Me and Chris Bornes Me and Tove (before hair and makeup) No, no one in the family is getting married! My friend, Chris Bornes, invited me to be a Mother-of-the-Bride model in the KULR8 Wedding Preview. It was my third year. I wasn't as scared this year and, as Chris says, "You're just a hanger, no one is looking at you, they're looking at the clothes." It makes me feel so much better. I had a fun time.

  Chris managed to turn 10, open his presents, blow out his candles and eat cake with a broken right arm! Good for you, Chris!

At the beginning of winter it would be a good idea, when shoveling snow, to throw the snow as far as possible from the edge of the driveway. As it snows and snows and snows, the pile on the side of the driveway gets higher and higher. It is now midwinter and I am tossing snow way over the pile to get it out of the way. This will be a lesson I hope I remember next winter.

 

  I am just getting to print my photos. I love my new photo printer. How nice to crop and fix and then print. Yay!

Christopher and Ann went sledding yesterday. They got one run in. At the end of that run, wham, right into a fence. Christopher broke his arm. He suffered a subklkclklkjdfular fracture. It sounds kind of like radio static when the doctor says it. The break is right above his elbow. They had to do surgery and pin it. He and I spent the night in the hospital. He's doing quite well. We got to the ER by 5:00 p.m. and he was out of surgery and in his room on the pediatric unit by 10:00 p.m. it was nice to be taken care of so quickly and so kindly.

It was quite an exciting time last night as we settled in to watch Utah and Alabama play in the Sugar Bowl. We had Melissa and Remington Townsend (BYU) over with their kids to have tacos for dinner and then watch the game. They have a new baby, Claire, and she got passed around the room among me and my girls, as much as the football did on the screen. Remington did a good job of cheering for the U, after all they are a Mountain West team. We had a great time. Go Utes!
