Dear family,
I just wanted to say thank you for adding me to Caleb's fast yesterday. As mom and dad suggested a family fast for Caleb, I remembered how much power comes from a united fast and how great it is to have such a big family to add their own individual power to that fast. In thinking about all of this, I realized that I haven't accessed that power very much lately cause I didn't want to be a bother or burden. However, I'm hoping all the combined faith will help. By way of explanation (cause I don't know what mom told you) I have been having a lot of problems with my eyes lately. Long story short, they've formed what is like a callous on the eye and sometimes the callous grows so big that it covers the pupil. I've had a lot of blurriness and other problems and there's not much I can do about it...which is why I thought of a family fast. Also, I started a new medication not too long ago and I'd really like for it to help with the anxiety and depression. So far I haven't noticed a difference either way, so mostly I just feel like I need some direction in finding something that will help.
Anyway, thank you again. I love you all super much and I'm thankful to be your sister.
Love Always,
Mary Elizabeth Pitt Hess

Merry Christmas!
So, now it's 1:35pm on Christmas day and we are all still in our pj's. That is everyone except our baby, Lauren. She of course has to be in a "dance costume" every second of her life. Santa brought her little dance slippers in her stocking and she was such a sight to see wearing those, a full tutu costume that Melissa has grown out of and scootering around on her little pink princess scooter that I just finished assembling (Santa got too worn out last night to assemble it, and just wrapped it in the box). Spencer and McKay got golf clubs and a promise from Jerem that a few lessons come with that....here's looking to some fun father/son outings. We've all been playing Beetles Rock Band all morning that was a family gift and I have to admit that it's pretty fun. We've had to watch where we are walking though as the little boys got remote control cars and they are everywhere with them. With all the fun, relaxing, excitement of today, I'm glad we had a nice evening last night to talk about what Christmas is really all about.
(break for sledding at Grandma Pitt's.....and yes getting dressed finally)
We are all doing well. Rachel just made the Jr. high basketball team which she is sooo excited about. She also is still on a highly competitive soccer team which she plays goalie half of the time. She is such a great girl, and loving 7th grade in the big Jr. HIgh School. I'm not sure if I'm ready for her to grow up so fast, but it is so fun to see her grow and become such a wonderful young lady. Somewhere something happened right, and we feel so blessed to be her parents and let her be a good example to the rest of the bunch. She got her ears pierced this past fall and it's fun to see her liking pink and girly things now and keeping up with her Piano.
Spencer is so full of love. That kid has such a big heart. He enjoys soccer (most of the time) . He has started liking watching football and basketball maybe even as much as Jerem, so it's fun for the two of them to do together. He is often found out on our front lawn with his brothers and the other neighborhood kids playing football. He got a flag football kit for Christmas....hopefully the tackles won't be so rough now.
Melissa is so cute. She is always out to please. She has a love/hate relationship with her violin and practicing, but is getting pretty good after 4 years. She got a crocheted head band with a flower for Christmas with lessons from my friend to teach her how to make them. She is incredibly good with crafty things to do with her hands. She is the best singer on the Beatles Rock Band that we have played this morning. She tried soccer for the first time this year and is liking getting it all out on the soccer field.
Hunter is a cutie. He's been working hard on his tumbling, and can do some pretty amazing back flip/ twist things. He sure is a determined little guy. He also is enjoying soccer and started piano this past year. He can always find a way to crack us up, and we love him so much.
McKay is a bundle of energy and determination too. He loves to make booby traps and surprise you at every turn. He'll be 7 in a couple of weeks. He likes reading to me every day after school and also enjoys soccer and football. He's been begging me to take piano too, but I don't think I can keep up with another music lesson, but we'll see if I can just teach him a little here and there until summer.
Brigham can be found with a bandaid on his right thumb all of the time in efforts as he would say "so I won't be a beaver". Actually we are trying to help him stop sucking his thumb, and it's working as long as a bandaid is on there. He also doesn't want to look like a beaver. I sucked my thumb , so I'm incredibly nervous about him doing it too long, and am trying to help him now. He is soo cute. I love the little words and questions that he and Nathan come up with. They are loving their bikes and going to preschool with Mrs. Laurie. Brigham loves mopping our kitchen floor after dinner.
Nathan is also so cute. He is always buddy buddy with Lauren who loves him dearly most days. Nathan is also very articulate and corrects well anything miss-said by his two closest siblings. Like the other day Brigham said that if you are bad then you will get "uncle cool" (a term my brother Steve says is his nickname) for Christmas, and we all laughed, and Nathan quickly corrected him and said, "no that's a Lump of Coal". Nathan loves working with me to clean up and is good at being obedient. (usually if I can get one of the youngest three to come, then the others follow suit)
Lauren is pink pink pink. She loves all girly things. She shows us her "pingernails" every time Melissa paints them....which is often, yet holds her own with her big brothers. She is potty trained now...YES! I keep reminding her that she is Mama's baby and we both love it and snuggle on the rocking chair in her room as often as we can.
Phew...what a review. Jerem is doing great as always and is the super-glue that holds us together well. I am so grateful for him! He is always found rubbing my back of which I know he would love in return. He is wonderful at playing with the kids and doing the little things to help keep them happy. I have loved our talks about our lessons we have as we relish in the blessings of the gospel that we have.
I love keeping things as organized as possible and making yummy things to eat for meals (in between that I try to keep up on laundry, look for a little bit bigger home close by, make movies or do photography, study for lessons I teach for church, read to my kidos, nag them a little to do what they need to do, run car pools, check over homework, practice the piano and violin with the kids, watch games my kids are playing in, put bandaids on owies, put out figurative fires, sometimes practice the piano or violin myself, a little cleaning and even excercising) You know....being a Mom.
We have loved being around all of you this Christmas time and are as grateful as ever for such a wonderful family and support.
love, Jerem and Cathy

Becoming Perfect
As I was running on the treadmill this morning listening to one of Pres. Eyring's conference talks from last conference, the thought came to me that I needed to share it with you all. So that is what I'm doing. The paragraphs below are just an excerpt from that talk which speaks about how we can ensure there are no empty chairs in the life to come.
Talk to you all soon!
=======================
In many of our homes, there are the words "Our Family Can Be Together Forever." There is a gravestone near my home of a mother and grandmother. She and her husband were sealed in the temple of God to each other and to their posterity for time and all eternity. The inscription on the gravestone reads, "Please, no empty chairs." She asked for that inscription because she knew that whether the family will be together depends on the choices each family member makes. The word "please" is there because neither God nor she can compel another to choose happiness. And there is Satan, who wants misery, not happiness, in families in this life and in the next.
My hope is to suggest some choices which may seem difficult but that would assure you that you have qualified for there to be no empty chairs in your family in the world to come.
First, I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion's joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion.
Now, here is my counsel to children. The Lord gave you a commandment with a promise: "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." It is the only one of the Ten Commandments with a promise. ...In every case, even if your life is not lengthened, its quality will be improved simply by remembering your parents with honor.
For all of us it may be hard to see in our lives an increasing power to love and to see ourselves becoming more like the Savior, our perfect example. You have felt it in your family when you asked the pardon of your spouse or forgave a child for some mistake or disobedience. These moments will come more often as you try to do the things you know Jesus would do. Because of His Atonement for you, your childlike obedience will bring a feeling of love of the Savior for you and your love for Him. That is one of the gifts that is promised to His faithful disciples. And this gift can come not only to you alone but also to the loving members of your family. The promise was given in 3 Nephi: "And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children."8
I hope you will go out today looking for opportunities to do as He did and to love as He loves. I can promise you the peace that you felt as a child will come to you often and it will linger with you. The promise is true that He made to His disciples: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you." (Pres. Eyring, General Conference Oct 2009)

So, Jenny brought to my attention that for those of you who didn't know, Sam's and my one year anniversary was yesterday...hence the email I sent. For those of you who didn't know that, it was probably a very random e-mail. Sorry. :)

I'm thankful for miracles...
I'm so words-can't-describe-thankful today for miracles, for the sealing power, for the knowledge that Sam and I really will be together forever. Before we were sealed I always planned on it, prayed for it, hoped for it, wished for it, and felt that it would be, but it's just different now that we are really sealed as husband and wife. What a wonderful, glorious day that will be...
I am also thankful beyond words for my two families. Thank you, ALL of you, for your prayers, fasting, unconditional love and support and acceptance of me. I am so blessed to have such a network of love and support. Thanks for believing in me and for being so good to me and helping this miracle come to pass.
And thank you to my husband Sam. Thank you for loving me, always and forever. Thank you for your patience (his patriarchal blessing says that his wife will teach him patience, but personally, I think it's the other way around :) And thank you for working so hard in a work that is so important--for sacrificing this time we could have had with you because the Lord had important things for you to do. I want you all to know that I believe that, even if I don't necessarily like it. I still believe that Sam feels a sense of sadness that we are separated from him, but that he also has faith in NO EMPTY CHAIRS one day. And until then, he has accepted this call--just like we sang at his funeral, "Called to serve HIM, Heavenly King of Glory, chosen heir to witness for His name." Sam is a chosen heir and is witnessing and working in so glorious a cause. I don't like the separation but as God has allowed us to feel, we really aren't that far away after all. So, in the meantime, "Onward, ever onward, as we glory in His name...God our strength will be, press forward, ever called to serve our King!" Whether that service is here or there, the cause is worth it. And you are all invited to the Sam'n'Mary Hess mansion for brownies, rice krispy treats, and one super big fun party on a date to be announced...:)
Love Always,
Mary Elizabeth Pitt Hess

A long overdue update!!
Well hello family!! Jenna here.. since so much has been going on lately, I figured you all deserve an update from the Vegas Pitts. Annnnd... just to clear up any false excitement... this is no baby post.. at least not yet!
Speaking of baby though... things are going well. I still feel pretty good considering I'm due in less than a week. The nurses at my doctor's office always act like I'm so over due ("what are we going to do with you???") but I don't mind it. Maybe it's because we have so many other things going on to keep me busy and preoccupied (and maybe it's the anxiety of delivery... probably both!)
So many other things like our HOUSE!! I know... I know... most of you already know, but just in case you've slipped through the cracks, we bought a house and it is wonderful! We moved most of our stuff on Halloween (we're learning quickly that holidays get overshadowed as grown ups... how sad) and then officially moved in the following Wednesday when we got our fridge delivered. It's been a blast unpacking little by little and remembering all the things we have that haven't seen the light of day in 4 1/2 months ("so THAT'S where our towels went!!) Anyway... you can read more - and see pictures - about the house and our latest adventures (of which there have been many! who knew home ownership was so demanding?) on our blog which is hyrumandjenna.blogspot.com. Like Miriam we probably update that one a little bit more... not that much though :)
Our other great news is that even though we live so far, we got to spend the weekend with Mary a few weeks ago!! It was SO fun and we even got to celebrate our 1 year anniversary (4 months late!) by going together to see The Lion King. We really liked it, and if nothing else it is so fun to get out and do something SPECIAL. As always, Mary was wonderful and was so patient with me as I flip flopped between blue and green paint over and over... (we settled on a bluish green :)
Work continues to go well for Hyrum... he has a lot going on there and we're trying to remember that it's a blessing to be busy. I finished the last of my Physical Science lessons (yesterday, actually) so that's a relief. All I have left is to take the final exam (eek) and I will be officially done! It's kind of anticlimactic when you "graduated" six months ago, but eh that's ok.
Things are really going well.. I stumbled across a journal entry while unpacking the other day.. It was written on a scratch piece of paper way back in February when we first found out we were expecting. It just reiterated and reminded me how blessed we really have been and I am so grateful the Lord has provided us with so much- how appropriate that it is the Thanksgiving season. We love you all and we can't wait until we can come up and see you all soon!! (and show off our new little guy - and see all the other new sweet things) We'll send updates and pictures as soon as anything happens... Love you!
Jenna and Hyrum (and no-name... we're still working on it... :)
ps... is it bad luck if the baby is born today on Friday the 13th!!?

Update :)
Hi Family!
I just wanted to give you a little update and thank you all so much for your calls, gifts, emails, and prayers. I still have most of you to call - and I'm so sorry that it's taken me this long!!! I'm just wondering how all of you do it - I'm so busy with these two, how do you do it with 4, 5, or 8 kids! We're doing great here, though. I'm healing up so much better this time around and I'm feeling great. This little Elizabeth is a little treasure to me. I can't even explain how sweet she is and how wonderful it is to know that I have a little girl to be there with me throughout life. What a blessing. Noah is doing a lot better with Elizabeth now and Ammon is frequently heard calling her his little princess, doll, etc. and kissing her head. He is so cute with her - you'd all love it. So, here are some updated pics. (even though they're old now). They're from her first day home. (I had to put in the picture of her hair - I just love the little curly cue - it's so girlie!)
Love you all and thanks for everything!

The name and why
Dear Family,
Natalie and I chose a name for this beautiful little girl this morning (Sunday) at 6:00am. We chose Elizabeth Lois Pitt. Elizabeth was in our top 4 names going into the delivery. I was really neutral on a name, clear up until she came out. Without even thinking about a name or 'who' she looked like, I had an amazingly strong impression that she was going to be named Elizabeth. Now for all that know me, you know that I kinda just do whatever works, or whatever I want. With Noah, he was Noah before we were pregnant and that was it. Easy. But with this girl, Nat and I were stuck. After Nat got out of post op, we talked a little bit about what name to use or who she looked like. Our top choices were Eliza, Elizabeth, Jane, Emily and Hannah. Despite the impression that I had, I decided that I would let things play out how they would. I really felt like Nat should have the major say in the name, after all, she's the one that has to go through so much to get this baby here. Nat was undecided, and for the next few days we tried out different names just to see how they fit. We finally got to come home, and were bummed to not have a name yet. After being home for a couple of days, we decided to each come up with a couple of top names and just decide. So just before I left for meetings Sunday morning, Nat said that the babies name should be either Elizabeth or Eliza and asked what I thought. It was then that I told her about my experience of feeling so strongly about the name Elizabeth. And that was it. The neat part about it is that Elizabeth is in the family. Though it's just a middle name, Elizabeth will always remind me of Mary. Now Mary, you may think it a bit strange that your name would be special to me given you present state. However, I will never forget that 'wonderful' year at Rick's College. I can't tell you how many times I heard how amazing you were. Beautiful, smart and so loving to all that were around you. I remember in Provo when you got called to different positions in the ward. You taught classes so great. I loved listening to you teach. So many people loved you there. I must of heard 100s of times how talented you were, how beautiful you were, how kind you were. The list goes on. So Mary, we are honored to use your name for our little princess.
Lois is the name of Nats grandmother, whom we both adore and respect. Lois was decided about 2 weeks ago, out of the blue, but we both felt really good about it.
Anyway, thanks for all your support and love. We sure feel blessed and are grateful for all you do for us.
With love, Ammon, Nat, Noah and Elizabeth.

Baby Sister
We love you all and thank you for your prayers and support.
Natalie is doing heaps better than with Noah.
