OH my Time flies

WOW, I thought I wa bad whe nthe last post was a few months old....let me give a quick update, but don't count on me keeping this blog updated after this. LOL

We moved to a bigger house between Driggs and Tetonia with land back in the end of April. We absolutely love the area and our ward could not be better. We KNOW that we were supost to be here and if you care to know the WHOLE story give me a note.

The three oldest children are living in Rexburg now and atttending Madison school districts. They moved from St. Anthony the end of the summer. They are really enjoying the school district change and the after school programs offered.

Spencer is now 12, and is working on programing a robot for a contest in the after school program class he attends.....HE LOVES IT! He wants to program Telescopes and study space I beleive he will. He is still playing the french horn and excelling.

Megan is 10, she's growing into quite a strong beautiful person. She sang a trio in Sacrament meeting for the Primary program recently and did wonderful. i hope she continues to persue that talent as well s these others. She is learning the flute and also working on a play in school...go Megan you are very talented. Megan also likes to try and figure out how to help people, peace maker (among non-siblings lol).

Jared is in 1st grade and hates homework and is working hard to learn to read. he is a very smart boy who seems to lack a little in his confidence with school task or any task he doesn't want o fdo. lol He likes to be rough and wants at this time to be a nija type figher.....he is extremely loving when he wants to be. He never knows what he does in after school class, but he likes it. go figure.

Geary is getting ready for a 3 week vacation and is very excited. He is still at Four Seasons, now the only one on nights. He is hopeing to be able to go to days in summer 2010 when someone retires. Cross your fingers. He is enjoying the thought of hunting and wanting o get into four wheelers. Geary is the website specialist in the ward and I the assistant. nice calling, keeps us up to what's going on around us.

Me, I'm still slaving away working, trying to get things in my life in order or back in order....to no avail it feels but tisjust a slow process; i find one thing well and another falling apart. I am happily married and have 4 wonderful children, a testimony and am not unemployed (so many are) so I can't complain. Life realy is goof most the time!

Long Time

Wow, it's been a while since I wrote. Nothing to exiting to blog about. Let me update you now:

We are moving, staying in Driggs, but a bigger place. New address 115 Butler Lane,83422.

Megan began Volleyball about a month ago and loves it. I'm excited since I love that sport to. She has gotten serious about it and has inproved quite a bit in the short time and once a week practice and games on Saturday. I hope to post Volleyball pics or video in May when I attend another game! Proud of you Megan!!

Coltyn is growing and continues to entertain us with the things he imagines and says. We had him evaluated and he's above his age in all things except receptive speach, which they said is normal for boys to be slower. He doesn't ge they Why questions. I can't say i'm to disappointed as a mom, I get irritated hearing wHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?!

Not to much to say, hope to be more exciting next blog entry. ;)

Sometimes we just need a SMILE

This will definitely help you to smile. I just couldn't e-mail it to all, so I posted it. Can't you see children you know doing this?

Two Little Boys :



After a hardy rainstorm filled all the potholes in the streets and alleys,
a young mother watched her two little boys playing in the puddle through her kitchen window.
The older of the two, a five year old lad, grabbed his sibling by the back of his head and shoved his face into the water hole.
As the boy recovered and stood laughing and dripping, the mother runs to the yard in a panic.

'Why on earth did you do that to your little brother?!' she asks as she shook the older boy in anger.
'We were just playing 'church' mommy, ' he said. 'And I was just baptizing him.....in the name of the Father, the Son and in...the hole-he-goes.'

PEANUT BUTTER SUPRISE

Now I don't know about the rest of you, but we LOVE peanut butter around our house. We go through way to much of it. It was a pleasant suprise when Geary craving a PBJ samich(sandwich to the rest of us)opened a new jar and found this. Cute,huh?!

Coltyn had a blast playing in the snow with his dump truck from santa. He was so so so excited and I love how he cheesed it for the camera between scooping areas in the driveway. Coltyn, you are dsuch a joy. We love you!

Trying my Health

WOW! Life I thought would get better after surgery. It seems to be one thing after another. i have to vent.............
First the post-operative infection & dealing with the general healing. That was quite a chore itself.
Second came going back to work at week 4, waking up that morning with no voice a horrible sore throat, cough and sinus pressure. The throat recovered after 5 DAYS,but not the voice, cough or sinuses.
Thirdly, Mirgrains, I have only had a few since surgery, which is a HUGE improvement, but they sure were doesies, one in which I missed work for.
Forth, I went for post-op check up at 5 weeks. The doctor says that I'm a week or more behind in recovery because of the infection after surgery and that I need to be abstinent for another 4 weeks(yeah right)as my sutures are not disolved yet. That was a big blow, talk about frustration. ;)
Fifth, I finally (after 12 days) went in to get help with the sinus trouble, the plugged up ear that I couldn't hear out of for three days and the horrible cough that was getting worst. I was exausted and just struggling to get through the work days and wishing I had my health & life back. Just to find out I had an ear about to rupture with infection and pressure (no pain though, bonus)and walking pneumonia with a sinus infection.
I broke down in tears. I just want to feel good!! I want my life back!! The docotr looked a little shocked and reasured me that as my body was able to heal completely from the surgery it would be able to fight off anything else that came my way, but until then I would have to do what I could to "take care of myself". I laughed a little at that, like I had been running outside with wet hair, naked or trying to make myslef sick or suseptible to illness.
I know that sometime in the future I will learn from this experience, for they say that "...all things shall be for thy good..", So I will trust that in this situation too.

Come and Gone

Well Christmas has come and gone, the New Years celebration is over. What will all the coming months bring? How fast will they pass me by this year? I won't dwell on it, but it crosses my mind; especiallly when I see how fast my children grow.
I'm recovering pretty well. Back at work this week which is exhausting, as i caught a cold the first day I was coming back. (my luck, lol) I think this is one thing I
can overcome quickly.

I hope that this note finds you all well and happy in the new year. If not just look around, Valentines day is coming the stores were decorated for it the day after Christmas!(Pittiful isn't it.) YET, What's better than remembering the ones you love to forgo the post holiday/winter blues.

Love you!
