Thanks....

A special Thanks to everyone for the cards, flowers donations, food, support and love! We really REALLY appreciate it. Everyone has made it home safe and sound, and life is almost back to normal ... what ever that is!

Sorry it has taking me so long to get this posted, but after all the stress and worry, we all decided to get sick :( I think we are all feeling better now and I look forward to having some not so crazy days! (yeah, I know good luck to me)
Here is most of the family

Thanks again , and we love you all!

How cute is she???

If you know Tyler then you know she LOVES to do hair!

Anyone, boy or girl that will let her get her hot little hands on them, and she will work her magic :)

Today (and most days) it was Grandma's turn... and doesn't she look good?

Donation fund info...

I just got the donation account set up with Central Bank; it is set up under The Michelle Malan Santoyo memorial fund. I tried to set up an account with a bigger bank that was in other states but, it was too much $$ and they would require me to have an account with them for a least 1 -3 months first. We have worked out a few different ways you can donate at this bank. The info on the Account is: Routing # 124300327 Account # 100577311, the bank’s address is 415 N State street Orem, Utah 84057. My address is 126 Greenfield Cir, Heber Utah 84032.

Thank you for all of your support!
Ways you can donate:
1. You can take it to ANY Central Bank
2. You can pay it through Bill pay,

just make sure you put the account # on it and the name
3. You can mail it directly to the bank
4. You can mail it to me and I will take it and deposit it in the bank
5. You can wire it to the account; however there is a fee for that.

A week of heart break

Well~ I don't even know where to start, that is probably why I have written and rewritten this for almost a week! Every time I go to post it something changes or well I just don't know, It almost seems like if I don't post it maybe it will go away.... (yeah, I know better!!)

Sunday night(Jan 31) at around 5 pm Aunt Shel was in a Motorcycle accident! She sustained some MAJOR injuries which she was unable to recover from , Tues Feb 2, 2010 she passed away. I know time will help, but for now that is all I can say.....

The Accident was in California, and because grandma can not travel we are needing to bring her home. Unfortunately, she didn't have any life insurance (that we know of) and the cost to do that is THOUSANDS. So, we are setting up a donation account (more details will be posted tomorrow) so that she can have a funeral here. Her husband is still in the hospital in pretty bad condition (not life threatening)and won't be able to attend her services. So please pray for him at this tough time. We appreciate all of your love and support!

For now we are just truly thankful for life after death, and know she is enjoying every min with the sister she missed so much.....

Mom and Aunt Shel as kids

`til we meet again... we love and miss you both!!

full to the brim...

I don't think we could fit one more kiddo in here.....

But, they sure had a BLAST!

First I am going to rant for just a min.... my Friday drive home up the canyon was a NIGHTMARE!!!!! It took me just over 2 hours. Now yes, it was snowing and I know that slows things down (or at least people should slow down) but, last night I think was the stinkin’ Sundance Film Festivals fault, or should I say the crazy people in their fancy rental cars that have NO idea how to drive in the snow..... Some would speed right pass you (but I saw them in the ditch a little further up the canyon) and others I think just parked their cars right in the middle of the road and cried. FYI~if you are from out of town, or just do not know how to drive in the snow... PLEASE, PLEASE get a DRIVER! For the safety of everyone….

OK, now on to the good news ~ they have started to Sheetrock the house, actually I should say they are ½ done!!! I don’t have any good pictures of the inside (sorry Linda) there are just too many people and too much stuff for them to turn out good, but here is a picture of the outside so far….

Hope to have inside pictures next week :)

Have a good night, and please drive safe and responsibly!

SICK!

Tyler only went to half a day of school, she has that awful cold that is going around ;( I have been so busy trying to keep the germs away from Grandma... I think I might have forgotten about myself! Now, I have a horrible headache and my ears and throat are staring to hurt!! NICE...
