Vacation Over




So after coming off our vacation high and returning to Utah, Brittany threw her back out and Tyler got apendicitis... We just can't win!

Luckily we were able to identify that Tyler's pain was most likely his apendix and listened to Brit's dad when he said "Go to the hospital NOW!" We hurried Ty to the ER where he had a CT Scan, some morphine, and surgery with a few hours. They got his apendix out before the apendix burst!

On a side note, Tyler is very amusing on morphine. He discovered his toes and waved at the nurses with them. When the surgical nurse came to get him and asked for Tyler King, Ty pointed to himself and said, "That's this guy in the bed." He would start giggling for no reason, and telling funn jokes. Best of all, he mooned Jarid :)

We were so grateful when the Doc came out and informed us that surgery went great and Tyler would heal quickly. We stayed at the hospital til' Ty could take a few walks around the halls, eat solid food, and pee. When he accomplished the list we took him home. He had to stay home from work for a week and a half. When he finally did get to go back to work he was totally excited to get out of our little apartment, but totally not excited to be put on light duty AKA office work!

P.S. the little appendix doodle is by our family cartoonist Jarid King :)

VACATION!!!

After a crazy semester with 15 credits and still working full-time, Tyler thought Brittany surely needed a break before she piled on another 15 credits for summer. They ran away to visit Jason and Alex in California. Jas and Alex were fabulous hosts and gave us one awesome weekend! We spent one day at DisneyLand, where Jason gave all the fun facts we would ever need to know about all things Disney! I don't think anyone knows that park better than my brother!!! We had so much fun. There is no place like DisneyLand: it is truly the happiest place on earth! We got to ride every ride we wanted to and just had a blast. The firework show was absolutely unforgettable! I was amazed.
The next day we relaxed by starting with the most fabulously delish breakfast at The Original Pancake House where Jas had Ty try their signature Apple Pancake- basically pancake apple pie. After breakfast we finished the day at Huntington Beach to enjoy the sun and the sand. However, the day took a hilarious turn when Jason was pooped on by an overhead flying seagull. Sorry Jas, but it totally made our day! Jason freaked out and had a cow. It was rather amusing!
On Saturday we all headed over to Knotts. It was warm, and we had to wait in a lot of looooong lines, but the rides were worth it! Tyler had a lot of fun, since the extent of his roller coaster experience was Lagoon.
Tyler loved getting to know Jason and Alex. They are sooooo much fun! Jason kept us laughing the whole weekend and we loved every minute of it!
