It has been quite a busy and hectic week. We went in to Mandee's first Doctor's appointment and got to see our little baby on the ultrasound. We were both excited to see the little one on the monitor. Unfortunately, the doctor informed us that there was a problem...the baby had no heart beat. Neither one of us even thought about looking for the heartbeat when we saw the baby. We went from a total happy moment to a total sad moment. The baby grew to be 9 weeks and 4 days old. We figure that it must have died within the last couple of days. We all had a hard few days as Mandee was sick and our plans on having our second child were shattered. Kenton seemed to know that something was wrong and was very quite and blar for a couple of days. We would like to thank all of our friends and family who called, visited, brought use delicious food, and so forth. Thanks!
Mandee took her Jetta to get her oil change at Wal Mart last week right before someone interested in buying it came to the house to look at it. The car started up and then a sudden "thump" came from the motor and the car turned off. It is in the shop right now being torn apart to find out if it was Wal Mart's fault or if it would have happened regardless of having the oil changed. It would be great if it were Wal Mart's fault so they could pick up the bill! We are not sure what all happened yet, but we should find out soon.
On a happier note, our friends Zach and Amber were in town from Las Vegas and stopped by for a visit and some dinner. It was nice to see them since it has been almost two years since I had seen them. Zach rode in the sidecar that is hooked up to the pink stella scooter with Kenton in his lap. I don't think that we could have looked any more gay...but it was fun.
Speaking of scooters, I finally titled and registered my 1974 Vespa Rally 200 scooter. It is a blast to drive around and I get like 75 miles to the gallon!

Amber and I had fun. My favorite parts were when (1) You and Kenton and I got to be a gay family on the scooter, and (2) when you pretended like you were picking Sunchips from a Sunchip garden.
I love you guys! I wish I could have been closer to help. I did talk to Mandee about CNG, so I think that made her happy...
I love that you are updating your blog!
Both those scooters look awesome. Cardon is so jealous, he is wishin he could go out on the scooters with you. We both think the wood looks beautiful. Wish we were there to hang out with you guys. We miss you!
p.s. we blew out our back tire late last night. It was a little scary. 3 awesome mexicans let us borrow their jack to put on the spare. We were super lucky they helped us because it was 1:30 in the morning. Crazy...
Hey guys we just started a blog and found you!!! Let's do something fun soon!!
Mandee, it's Misty http://www.toddandmisty.blogspot.com/ I hope you don't mind, but I got your blog from Karisa and added you to my blogroll. Your family is so cute and I hope all is well. Take care!
Mandee,
It's your long-lost childhood friend Cynthia. Glad to have found you! Your little guy is darling! And I totally love that you took him skiing! I remember the first time I really went skiing it was with you and your mom! If you want, send me an email at cynthi21@hotmail.com - I would love to catch up!
Mandee,
Hi, This is Jana (Oler) from high school. I just found the link to your blog through Misty's blog. I am not sure if you remember me, I think we had gym together... and I think we went snowboarding once or something.
This is kind of an awkward post for me to find you on... So I am sorry if it feels a little insensitive for me to barge in. I just wanted you to know that after reading about your miscarriage, I am really feeling for you! I had a miscarriage a few months ago at 15 weeks, and it was really tough! I know it is a bigger deal than people think it is... So I will keep you in my prayers!
I just wanted you to know I always thought you were such a cool, beautiful person in highschool... and you have the cutest little snowboarding family now!
My blog is http://jana739.wordpress.com/
If you ever wanted to keep in touch.
(sorry for such a long comment)
Jana
