This Week in the Lives of Kyle and Laura

Hi everyone! This week has been pretty busy and mundane. Just work and sleep and work and sleep and work and sle.....you get the idea. But something exciting did happen to us finally! IKEA opened Wednesday! Hooray! We have been waiting for ever for it to open and in spite of large crowds and crazy traffic, we decided to partake in the opening day festivities. It was a lot of fun and very exciting. Now we have a place to go when we get bored. Also we went to Kaysville to help paint her parents living room (I guess not having cable, Laura is going through HGTV withdrawals). This weekend is Memorial Day and in keeping a Broadhead tradition, we will be driving to the old farm in Nephi and visit Les' parents graves sites and leave flowers. Maybe Laura and I can go to see Grandma and Grandpa Stapley and Russell's graves too. Congrats to Kaci for making Soundation! We are super excited for you and can't wait to hear you perform! I want the first copy of the CD you will make! Also, Get well soon Dad! We love you all and hope to hear back from you soon!

Get Better Soon Dad!!

Laura and I are both wishing Dad a speedy recovery. We wish him well and hope that he will soon be back up and moving around and start building his projects again. In honor of his suffering, we ate a box of Dunford Donuts in his honor. GET WELL SOON! WE LOVE YOU!

Dad is resting for the first time in 20 years!!!

Today Dad went to Providence hospital and received a brand new meniscus, well almost brand new ( a mended one) the doctor said he would recover in a couple days but when he saw dad's knee in surgery it ended up being worse than what they thought. (Stapley Luck- or lack of) The meniscus was torn and the bone underneath was worn so they had to drill a little into his bone, don't worry I have pictures for everyone. Within a couple hours dad was home and watching AMC on TV. He's feeling no pain, except for emotional when I beat him in a hardcore game of cribbage! He will be on crutches for a month or so and will be back to work in two weeks. He hasn't eaten much, but has not slowed down in the usual mountain dew consumption. He is bored to tears and would love to talk to anyone willing!!! Love ya'll-Kaci- This picture shows the holes that were drilled in his bone :) cool huh?

Happy Birthday Laura!

Boy were the last few days busy! Yesterday was Laura's birthday and it was great! On Monday we had a little get together with some of our friends and surprised Laura. It was a ton of fun. Then on Tuesday, we met up with Laura's parents in Salt Lake and ate at The Roof. I've never been there before and boy was it wonderful! We had a great view of Temple Square and Downtown Salt Lake and the food was awesome! The best part is that it's all you can eat. We had a wonderful time (minus the waitress which forgot everything!) and Laura got a lot of great presents. It's been a good birthday so far and she still wants to continue celebrating it for the rest of this week. She was very happy to hear from everyone who called and wished her a Happy Birthday. Especially the little nieces and nephews. Thanks everyone for your love and support!
