It sure was fun to see everyone that came to Cedar City on Sunday. We all enjoyed a good talk, some good food and most of all each other. That could be the last missionary to go, unless we get some of the girls to go. Thanks to everyone for your help and we love you all and pray for all Vern Rubies with each of our trial that all of our family are going through.

From Justin and Mindy
Just wanted to say hello to everyone and give a little family update. Many of you know that our little Abby who is 18 months was diagnosed with total blindness in her left eye just a few days before Thanksgiving. She underwent a cataract removal and lens transplant on December 12th at Primary Children's. She is recovering very well and begining to regain sight in that eye! She got her bifocals last week and we think she looks beautiful in them. We are so grateful for the love and support of our friends and family as well as the technology to make this happen. We are getting settled into our new home well. It is great to have the extra space and we are having fun painting and decorating our new home. For those of you who do not know, we bought Weldon and Gean's previous home in Orem. I am now 3 min. from work! Our boys are growing up so quickly and enjoy going to preschool each day. I think everyone in our family (including our dog and cat) are READY for Spring. I've included a few recent photos of our family. Hope to talk to everyone soon!
Recent Email Update on Celeste and Babies
Hello again! Congratulations to Tonya and family on the birth of their baby boy. You all continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. I thought I would forward an update I received from Celeste today regarding their twins and current health situation. Have a great Day! Mindy Hill
Hey everyone! As most of you know we went to Seattle last week so the twins and I could have surgery for their "twin to twin transfusion syndrom". We just had our check up with the Dr. and this is what we found out: Jaxson is doing well. His heart rate has slowed, so he's not over producing anymore. The only problem is that he is still very small for his age. Shaun, on the other hand, has not had the results we were hoping for. He is able to pee, his heart rate has increased so he is able to produce more fluid than before (although it is still not enough), and he has more room to spread out now. However; he has not gained the weight we were anticipating. While Jaxson is small, Shaun is even smaller still. He is 12 oz. which puts him at the bottom 2%of where he should be (even counting in the fact that he's the smaller twin.)So here's what the Dr.'s are predicting at this point: I will continue on bedrest, and be closely monitored for the next 3 weeks. After which I will be moved into the hospital, until delivery. Before the surgery, we had hoped I'd be able to make it to my 32 week before delivering the twins. Now the Dr.'s think that it is highly unlikely that they will let me go untill then. Which means that the chances of us having two boys born sometime in the next 6 weeks are good. They don't want to have to be delivering a 1 lb. baby, but at the rate Shaun has been growing lately; I'm just praying that he'll be at least 2 lb.'s. By then Jaxson should be over 2 lb.'s, maybe even 3 lb.'s with any luck. Anyway, that's what we know so far. The best news of this is that they are no longer getting progressively worse; like they were before the sugery. They are on a slow and steady increase, and we can't wait to see how much they continue to improve! Hope you know how much love you all, and think of you! If there are any prayers or thoughts you could send to my babies, you'll have the gratitude of their mother and father forever. Also; Thank you So Much for all the phone calls! Talking to all of you truely helps to take my mind off of things, makes me feel good to know that you're thinking about my sweet babies! Thanks again everyone! Have a great day! Hope to hear from you soon! Love, Kris, Celeste, Jaxson and Shaun.
