Major Update

We have some sad news to share. Chris is looking for work again. He was working at Mozy through a contract company. Mozy offered him a job and told him they would be him emails about insurance and other benefits. A week later, the contract company contacted him and told him his contract was suspended. He tried to get a hold of his boss that morning, but couldn't. He ended up driving down to Pleasant Grove only to find that he really was fired and it was not a miscommunication. We did talk to one of our friends who works in HR for Mozy. He stated that all the contract workers, minus one. were fired. Only poor excuses were offered for a reason. Our lawyer (thank you Prepaid Legal) said nothing illegal took place, but something definitely unethical. We are planning on filing a complaint with the Labor Commission.

We have kept this news a secret for the most part because we feel that other people think we are doing this on purpose. That is far from the truth. We would love a full-time job.

Daniel's first birthday

I can't believe Daniel is a year old. He is the sweetest little guy. He really enjoyed his birthday. We invited some of our dear friends and had spaghetti, alfredo, salad, and cupcakes. Here are a few of our favorite pictures:

February 2011

This month seemed to go by quickly. Daniel kept growing and ended the month by repeatedly climbing onto the couch and head-butting the cat.

Katina's dad got out of the hospital only two weeks after having surgery. He is doing great and got his neck brace off at the end of the month.

Chris spent a couple weeks sick with a head cold. Luckily, Katina only had it for a few days. Amazingly, Daniel did not get it at all. Katina did however get a horrible case of the 24-hour stomach flu.

Chris and Katina enjoyed going down to Provo to watch the Cougars play University of Utah. We were at the very top, but could see everything well. They enjoyed watching Jimmer make 3 throws and beat the Utes.

The most exciting thing to happen this month took place on Saturday the 26th. Katina was preparing dinner and Chris was on the phone with his family. We heard a big crash and a loud cry. Looking over, the dining room chair was on top of Daniel. We quickly picked him up and checked him over. We knew something wasn't right when he wouldn't crawl or stop crying. We took him up to Primary Children's Medical Center where they took x-rays and discovered he had a broken wrist. He will have a cast for three weeks. He can't have a regular bath and can't wear long sleeves. Hopefully, the time will fly by.

Chris got called as the Sunday School 1st Counselor. His main job will be monitoring the halls for slacker people who don't want to go to Sunday School. Most likely, it will be Katina in the hallway with a rowdy baby.
