My Little Man

He's getting so big!

Tanner's Santa

Tanner wanted to make something for Christmas, so we made these Santa's! He loved it! He had to make one for everyone in his family. He is so caring and doesn't ever want anyone to be left out. What a cutie!

Tanner's Christmas Show

Tanner was a cute little elf in his Christmas Preschool Production. He was SO excited to get on stage and sing and dance. He did awesome and then to top the night off he got to see Santa. But he told me that this Santa was just a Santa's helper and he could tell because his beard could come off..Thanks to the movie ELF my 4 year old knows about Santa's helpers!

I haven't blogged in a LONG TIME... I have been super busy trying to finish school to get my teaching degree. We just got back from a cruise in the carribean. It was so fun, however we came back to a snowstorm! Gotta love it though. I love the Christmas season, I just wish I had put up the lights outside before I left! Here's a few pictures from the cruise. It was gorgeous. Tanner even got to snorkel a little. In Belize we went tubing through caves, that was amazing. The water in Costa Maya and Cozumel was fabulous. It was a fun trip!

From gorgeous weather to piles of snow....Lovely!

Leaving on a jet plane

We're off to Mexico. I can't wait to feel the sand on my feet!

Fun Weekend

To start out with Kelsie came over and helped me set up Tanner's new trampoline! We had a couple blonde moments but the thing is still standing! Tanner loves it! He jumps and jumps and jumps! Such a fun thing if only the weather would just cooperate now!

Friday night I got together with Lisa, Liz & Kristi for dinner. We had a fun time full of talking, laughing and crying. I really love you girls you are such great friends. Saturday night Lisa and I headed to the BYU mens Volleyball game. It was AWESOME! They played no 5 Longbeach and won in 5. It was a thrill! We even got free t-shirts. Good thing we were there SUPER EARLY! lol :) jk Lisa you know I love ya!

Heather Ann Whetzel Bissegger
March 01, 1979 ~ January 26, 2009

Heather Ann Whetzel Bissegger passed peacefully from this life on January 26, 2009, at the age of 29.
Lou Gehrig’s Disease may have overcome her body, but it didn’t stand a chance against her spirit and her iron will. In all its debilitating cruelty, ALS never once affected her sunny optimism, sweet demeanor, or ferocious courage. And she didn’t allow her body to succumb to the disease a single day before she was ready and her work here was finished.
Part of that work was as a beloved teacher and volleyball coach at Bingham High School. She taught computers and business law. Heather never failed to inspire the thousands of students who are better from having been in her classes. She continued to teach even after her diagnosis with ALS, and in doing so she again showed the heart of a champion that she displayed as a volleyball player at Utah Valley University, and later as a volleyball coach in club and at Bingham. Her students, players and fellow faculty members will miss her.
As will her family and friends. Volleyball came in third in her life behind God and her loved ones. Her favorite thing in the world was to have dinner and visit with her parents, Don and Vicki Whetzel, and her older siblings and their spouses: Rebecca Seat and husband Jeff Seat, Mark Whetzel and wife Kristen Whetzel, Kristi Strong and husband Greg Strong, along with her cherished nieces and nephews, and of course her husband, Jeff Bissegger. She married him on August 7, 1999, in the Salt Lake Temple. Heather’s unwavering commitment to activity in the LDS Church and to living gospel principles sustained both her and Jeff throughout their struggle with ALS. Another of Heather’s favorite things was to watch reality TV with her mother-in-law, Barbara Bissegger, and with her sweet black lab Jack by her side.
Perhaps the key to Heather’s hold over so many peoples’ hearts was this: she was a stunningly gorgeous young woman who exhibited such obvious talent and intelligence, yet she always called attention to other peoples’ strengths and qualities. She made you feel as though you were the most valuable person on the planet. And even as ALS destroyed her physical body, she never complained or gave in to negativity. Her focus remained sharply on the feelings and well-being of others.
Free again to move about and enjoy her prized independence, she smiles on us now from heaven, serving as a guardian angel to the many people who love her. We know we will feel her spirit strongly at her services on Saturday, January 31, 2009, at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 East 10600 South in Sandy at 11:00 a.m. There will be a viewing one hour before the services at 10:00 a.m., and one the night before on Friday, January 30, 2009, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the same location. And please do send or bring flowers—lots of flowers. Because Heather loved, and we suppose she still does love, pretty flowers. Those who would like to offer condolences may do so at www.larkincares.com

Ashlyn Sky Widdison

As of Monday I have a neice! She's so small and beautiful and it's nice to finally get some pink in the family. I'm so happy for Skylar & Traci. Tanner said Ashlyn is Beautiful. It was so cute!

3 new grandkids in 6 months whew!

My Weekend

I had quite an eventful two days. Friday night my friends went to dinner, which then turned into Michal's birthday dinner! We had blast! They must've heard we were coming because they sat us in the farthest corner of the restaurant! Smart move. We had a late night, like always, but its just so much fun, we had good times and lots of laughs. I love you girls!

Saturday I went to an old friend of mine's life celebration. Heather is a girl I played volleyball with at UVSC. She has ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's. She's been in a wheelchair for a while now, and has been on a ventilator for over a year. After much prayer and thought her and her amazing husband both received the answer that her time on this Earth is through. She'll be turning off her ventilator. She had a big party and I was able to go see her and say goodbye. She is such fun girl. I remember her being the cause of many evious doings and she always made me laugh. She is a very courageous girl and I can't even imagine being in her situation. It was a sad day, yet it was so nice to see old friends. Thanks to Heather for the opportunity she gave me to visit with her one last time.
