That's Mr. Nurse to You!!!

Well, it has been a really long time in coming, but I am super excited to declare that I have finally, after little under a year of schooling, and an "Exit Program Exam" and a "State Board NCLEX Exam," I have been issued a state of Utah Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) License effective July 16th!!! We are so happy, and excited to have overcome this most recent obstacle; and stand closer to my career goals!
Thank you so much for everyone's support and encouragment, and also prayers in our behalf. I did it, I took the test; but you were all helpful in our love and support! No obstacle infront of me can truly be as big as the support behind me!
Love Kitch, Angela, Jaxon, and Lia!

Let Them Be Little

Hello my Dear Friends and Loved Ones,

Our little children are such a blessing in our lives! Little Jaxon makes us laugh all the time with his personality and individuality; little Lia makes us smile all the time and cherish every single stretch, squirm, moan and cry. Life is so great! We love our children; life would be different and lacking in some ways without my children around. We certainly need to cherish these little moments...it seems just like yesterday I was holding Jaxon on my chest asleep, and now he is so big and little Lia is so small. Cherish today, be patient for tomorrow, and treasure yesterday; at times our lives seem to fly away from us, and other times it crawls. I hope my children fit in my arms and chest for a long time to come.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!! The Stork Arriveth!

Hello there everyone! Lia Eliza-Sonja Head was born 12-June-08 @ 10:57PM weighing 8lbs, and measuring 19 inches! Angela was induced yesterday, and it only took a little under four hours from admit to delivery! We will include pictures in this post as soon as possible, but we are currently using the hospitals internet, and they have firewalls that are preventing me from uploading data to the website. We love you guys!!!!
Love Kitch, Angela, Jaxon, and Little Lia!!

P.S. - Lia is now 3.5 days old, and she is getting more and more beautiful everyday!! Her bilirubin is right where it should be, and everything is working its way through her little GI system!!! We couldn't be more happy to have this little lady in our lives!!! Little Jaxon is so loving and affectionate! We are lucky he loves babies!

Kitch vs. the Fish

It was a rainy and cold morning. We had been up since 4Am; or rather, opportunity had...but not me! I was the last to show up at base camp. But it wasn't I who was holding up the show, it was the van! We had to add transmission fluid to the van before we could get together to attack the water. There were a few tense moments, but we were fishing before dawn!
Our lures were in the water, it was raining, and the wind was blowing. We were all cold, wet, and stinky...except for Andrew; he was the only one that was able to shower before our little excursion.
With Andrew at the helm of the canoe, we circled over the endless and deep abyss waiting for opportunity to strike. We waited for two hours; two hours of numbing wind and wet pants, frozen hands w/out gloves, and rain running down our backs! When Ian, the youngling, was tired of waiting for nothing, we decided it best to head back for shore. We circled the bay; attempting to prolong the inevitable and delay our approach. Soon we were 50yds from shore and it was time to reel in our nylon lines and call it a day. My lure was no more than 8ft from the bow, when I saw something break the surface. It was a beautiful, brilliant, and titliating lake troat, a rainbow trout to be specific! I reeled in a truly beautiful lake trout!!! Andrew and I ate it this morning after it was filleted and fried; success had never tasted so good!!! It's good to be a Guy!!

Jaxon's 2nd Birthday!!

We had so much fun! We took Jaxon to Kangaroo Zoo where he was able to run around crazy and have so much fun! He was there with his little cousing Hayden and his parents (my sister Jenny and her husband Corby), Aunt Wendy (my brother-in-law's wife), his Uncle Ian, and his Grandma (my mother-in-law)! We had so much fun! As you can see, Jaxon was free to run around, and he did like a mad-man! I couldn't imagine having more fun! After that we went to the Discovery Park in Highland, and had pizza and cupcakes! Andrew and Sarah were able to join us there, and we all had a blast with eachother! The wind got a little crazy so we came back to our house where Jaxon opened the rest of his presents! He got a little golf set (Dad loves it), puzzles, a big ball, and the coolest little motorcycle thing ever! He loves it! (So does his Dad!) It would have been great to have had more family, but it was so great having those that could come! It was a wonderful birthday party, and we are looking forward to several more!

Happy Birthday Jaxon! Love Dad (Kitch), Mom (Angela), and Lia (to be born VERY soon)!

Daddy's Little Girl

It's so funny. I'm sitting here at 4:00AM in the morning, and I am all of a sudden scared that Lia won't find the right guy to marry in the Temple. I brought my computer to work tonight, and I've written her this big letter about the importance and divinity in womanhood, motherhood, and femininity. It's a gift, priviledge, an honor, and a right to hold at great value! I'm telling her to take time to play with her siblings, give one more hug, to look over her shoulder at her dad, ME, when she is getting into that car for the Prom, to smell the roses, to feel the grass under her feet, to let the wind blow her hair over her face and kiss her checks, to not be in such a hurry to grow up! To assure her that we love her so much, and that the love in a family only grows and is never divided among the kids where some have more than others, or a "bigger piece." ... and she isn't even in my arms yet and I am looking forward with a sense of dread to the day that she doesn't fit into my arms anymore. Will she go into the arms of a man that truly deserves her? Who appreciates her? Who loves her more, if not as much as I do? Who would do anything to be worthy of her? To be man enough to impress me to the point where I would encourage her, if not place her in his arms?? It's a wonder that any Parent ever sleeps at night!! I have 1.8 kids, and I am already worried about all of them!!!
I want to be the best Dad. I want my family to be safe. I want so much for them. Do you worry about those things? Maybe it's these feelings that drive us to the things we need to to make all of it possible.
