Well, just as we suspected, Keith's sleep study showed definite sleep apnea among other sleep disturbances. He is definitely a candidate for the CPAP device. We're waiting for the DME company to call to set up a time we can go in and learn how to use the device and bring it home. He needs the full mask that goes over his nose and mouth. We are hoping that it will help him sleep (and me too!) and moreover, improve his overall health.
I have a new favorite store. It's Macy's!! I could spend hours in there, and in fact, I do! Even when I don't end up buying anything, I travel all over the store 2 or 3 times, trying several things on in each dressing room as I make my way through that gigantic funplex! I have actually bought several things there over the past few months. And one of the best things about Macy's is that they have huge mirrors all over the walls, so you never have to travel far to hold up a sweater or a blouse to see if the color or style is right for you. Anyways, a Macy's gift card will be my new favorite gift....hint hint.
We were just blessed with a new grandson, Brigham Ottley Coltharp, on January 23, weighing in at 8 lbs 7 oz. He looks pretty handsome in his pictures, and Leslie says he's a good nurser! Brian was a good nurser, the best out of my five. Alexa and Ayla are having fun playing big sisters to him, and I'm sure they are a big help to mama Leslie. The girls also got new bunk beds last week, with Alexa on the top and Ayla on the bottom (which is a good thing, because Ayla has fallen out of the bottom bunk a few times!).
I'm trying to figure out how on earth I'm going to go see Jennie's baby and spend a week with her the last week of February, and then go see Brian and Leslie's baby blessing, possibly in March, and then Micha and John's baby possibly in April. My boss just doesn't have the same view of "multiply and replenish the earth" as my kids do. They think I should be at work most of the time, instead of taking time off to go see my grandkids and kids. The nerve of them!
Jonah's dad bought him his cub scout uniform this week, and he looks so.....scouty! and cute! But he wouldn't like cute, so he looks officially like a cub scout! He has a best friend, James Anderson, in our ward, and they are like two peas in a pod. We love James! Don't you wish you could bottle all that energy and use it on yourself at the low points of your life?
Heather is still working at Mountain Vista, where she has been for a few years. We've been trying to help her improve her health with some awesome aloe product. It has helped her energy, etc., although it will take some time for her colon to heal completely. She is another Macy's freak, and we love going together and just being girls out doing the shopping and oohing and ahhing thing! Thanks, Keith, for watching Jonah when we perform this ritual!
Braxton got a new job in Orem, Utah and he and Cindi will be moving out of Braxton's parents home into their own apartment soon. With three of our kids and their families now in the Provo area, it seems more and more likely that we will end up somewhere in the vicinity one day. I really miss my Aaron, and wish I could be seeing all his growing up milestones. Cindi's good at sending little videos and pictures.
I miss my Sam, Jennie and Dave's 2 year old. He's been pretty sickly, and they may have to have tests run after the baby's born. But we have little videos of his squeaky little voice saying all these wonderful words and saying the word "grandma" on ocassion. I wish I was in the stage of my eternal progression that I could be omni-present. I'm just so mortal and stuck in one place at a time.

My mom is still at Castle Rock Care Center. She's been there since April of 2007. Her favorite pasttimes are watching TV and working jigsaw puzzles. She loves getting calls and cards from family members, and everyone tries to keep in touch as much as they can. She still likes to eat her junk food, but she's actually not eating as much as she used to, and is getting a little more tired. I'm glad to be able to have her close, because when she first had her brain hemmorhage in October 2006, I thought I had lost her. Love to you all!
