Crazy week

Monday mornin I was sounding like I was sick. My voice was like gone with the wind. I couldn't speak. Tues I still couldn't speak, however I could be understood just a little better. I still felt good. Then Wed. came. Oh my gosh, now I feel sick also. The little spark is gone. I am so tired. I came home at 11 this morning and slept till 12:45. That was much needed rest. I am thankful that I am only 12 minutes from work so I can come home to rest when I need it.

I so much wish I was well so I could go over to Krystal's home in the evening and help her with Chloe. I know she is doing just fine, however, I would love to be her Mother, and Chloe's TUTU at this time. It feels really strange that Chloe is three days old, and I only saw her on Sunday in the hospital.

Ginger is putting together a wonderful book for Grandma and Grandpa Dunn. What a thoughtful daughter, and grandaughter she is. I know it will turn out perfect, and treasured.

Grandpa Dunn just got out of the hospital on Tuesday night. His blood pressure was to low, and they gave him two bags of blood, and that helped to bring it back up. Thank you Heavenly Father for the miricles you share with my family dailey.

We are new Grandparents again

Well, on Sunday, it was a glorious day. My little girl had a little girl!!! Krystal went in around four am and she delivered a wonderful spirit directly from Heaven at eight ten. Amazing! She chose not to have ANY drugs for the pain. She decided to go all natural!!!. I am so proud of my brave little girl.
Chloe Jean came into the world weighing in at 7lbs13oz. She is 19 and 1/2 inches long. She has wonderful light strawberry blonde hair at the moment. She looks just like Krystal did. She has Krystals libs, nose and cheeks. The chin is still in motion, so we can't be sure.
What a blessing. Loved having another little princess in the family.

Nicole and Ket and kids came over for the weekend. So happy to have them stay with us for a little bit of time. A rare treat for sure. Nicole has her ten year class reuion and they attended. She was voted one of the most unchanged. That is kind of fun. They attended a game, a golf tourny, a dinner at the train depoe, and a sunday morning brunch. She and the family had a wonderful time. She spent most of Sunday, with the rest of us, visiting Chloe and Krystal and Robby in the hospital.

Ginger got to take off work and come over to spend the day with family on Sunday as well. Krystal is the only sister to have both of her children with Ginger in town. Mostly Ginger has been away in far off towns working hard. Now she is in Boise, and that makes a world of difference to us family. So......she was able to leave work, and pop on over for the family excitement of a new arrival into the family!!! Welcome CHLOE JEAN.!!!

Brandi made Kula Pig for the family dinner. Thank you for the wonderful dinner Brandi. !!!!!
Brandi, Alec, and Logan went up to the hospital after church to welcome Chloe into the world.
Sunday evening we had a big family dinner. Enjoyed by one and all The Jewish Sweet Bread went really fast. Yum.

Ginger and I then went up to the hospital to check in on Krystal and Robby one last time. We took Robby some dinner, minus the bread, as we had eaten all of it. Opps

Thank you Heavenly Father for all the gifts, and miricles you provide for us as a family. The most bright miricale of the day would be Krystal and Robby giving birth to Chloe. Life is good, and family is even better.

work week over with a bang

Today is the end of my work week. It has been a really quick week. Brandi's been ill, Logan started the week ill. Now, I am ill. What a crappy end to the week. I hate being ill. I have such little patience for myself.
I talked to both my Mom an Dad today. This whole week, I have only talked to Dad. He is fun to talk to. I enjoy having conversations with him. All our conversations are about nine minutes. I always call him on the way to work. I knew he was going to have a big day yesturday, as he had two doctors appointments, plus radiation, adn kemo. He started his day at eight am. I mean, he had to be at the doctors at eight. Man, That is early. I called today, to see how they are feeling today.
The information Mom gave me, was a little scary. I will continue to pray for my Parents. I know that whatever happens, will be the best thing for them. I have Faith in our Heavenly Father.
I am grateful for my parents and the wonderful job of preparing me for life.
I wish you all happiness on this fall weekend. I love you all and so appreciate reading all your blogs, and feeling conncted to you.

The last of the Lazy Summer Days

Terry left for Salom on Friday Morning. He was gone by four thirty in the morning. Early! His flight was on Horizon, and it was not cancelled. Yeah!He also got to go in a big jet, instead of the usual puddle jumper. Terry will return tonight late. I have alot to do before he comes home. I need to get a little patch of ceiling painted. He is putting another bathroom fan in, to help with the steam, and he is ready to finish it, I just need to do my part.

On Friday it was my day off, and I should have gotten alot done, however, I lazed around ALL day and chose to do NOTHING> Man, what a slacker. Oh wait, I did go for a walk with Krystal, Brandi, Noah, Alec, and Logan. I was so flipin hot. I dont like to sweat after I have showered and gotten dressed for the day. So.....I had to rest the whole day.

This morning Logan came into my bathroom after my shower, and told me he wanted a bath. So I started the bath for him. He wanted to get in with his PJs on. No, I took them off, and he had a fit. He then didn't want to take a bath. He just wanted me to hold him. ah, no. So I called his mom into the bathroom, and she took care of him. She went and got him a big blue boat, put it into the tub, and bam in he went . A happy little swimmer.

Today, I am up early, and showered and ready for a very active day. I will get everything done for sure. Tommorrow will be a happy day. There is to be a Big party for Rods birthday celebration at Mandi Jos. It will be fun I am sure. I am taking ham, as it is a pot luck. We are having another pig delivered soon, and we still have some of the last Pig in the freezer. Man, thats alot of meat

Enjoy your day, one and all. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you what I am grateful for today. I am most grateful for the miricles of modern medicine. I know that sometimes the treatment for Cancer is not pleasant, however, it is the reason for a longer life for those who suffer from Cancer. So, thank you Heavenly Father, for the minds of scientist whom are always rescerching for the cures out there. Thank yu for the gift of creative and smart minds. My Father is the benafit from these gifts

FREEDOM

This morning I was a little nervous to turn on the televison. I so remember Sept. 11. I was worried that something might happen this morning.
When I did turn the tv on it was the white house on, with a moment of silence. I was so moved.
I so honour the men and women citizens and their families that so unknowingly lost thier lives.

All the loved ones, and all the posters looking for the lost loved ones. Oh my gosh, I just wanted to call all my girls and thier families and tell them of my love.

Nicole and Ket were in Hawaii and the rest of the girls were in school.. It was a very scary day.

I love my country and I worry about our saftey.

I am so thankful we were safe all day today. I pray for our leaders to continue to lead and direct us. I know Heavenly Father is totally guiding the leadders that are asking for his help..

Thank you to all the protectors of the United States.

Good Sunday

Church was wonderful today. The spirit was strong, and I enjoyed it. Sacrement was on the second coming. Sunday school was on Paul, and Corintianas. Very uplifting. Relief Society was on keeping the Sabath Day Holy.
Brandi and Alac stayed home due to Alac's alergys. Poor guy. He gets no sleep because he can't breath. He was able to sleep three hours while we were away. The bags under his eyes aren't quite as bad.

Saturday we got the lawns mowed by Brandi, the windows on the outside of the house washed by Ginger, all the cars washed by me. Busy day. Terry spent the day putting in another air vent just outside our shower. That way, the mirror,a nd bathroom in general does not get steamed. now we have two air vents in our bathroom. It will be alot better.

Have a wonderful day and kiss the ones you love.

thankgoodness it's friday

so, I got up early this morning, and went into work on my day off, because I forgot to turn in my timesheet. It felt weird going in on a Friday. Mr. Kooy was there, and he was suppose to have a new class set up for me for Monday. He hadn't done it yet, and he seemed really busy. So I set up a class on Monday for my Think Class. I gave myself twentythree students. Thaat will give me plenty of inmates for those who want to drop out. I am sure there will be a few of those. Also, the fact that the class will begin at eight am will be a downfall. The inmates hate to be up that early.
I forgot to tell you what I am Thankful for today. I am thankful for the example Brandi Jo gives me dailey. She is such a upbeat person. She is fun to have around, and I adore her attitude. With all the awful things that has happened to her in the last two months, she is still a wonderful bright Mother, Friend, Daughter, Aunt. I feel that Heavenly Father has blessed our family with a positive outlook. So, thank you Heavenly Father for the gift of a Positive Outlook. and the content joy it brings us on Earth.
I hear yelling downstairs, "TuTu! Come eat! It's ready!" So good day for now. I love you all, and I love my time on Earth

Thank you Heavenly Father. I appricated the blessings and lessons I learn and enjoy.
I want to give a shout out to KASSIA, NOAH, LOGAN, KASEN, JESIAH, ALEC AND THE LITTLE GIRL YET TO BE NAMED, I love all you so much. I also want you to know that your parents love and adore you, as do PaPa and TuTu.

Happiness is Love

I am grateful today. I am grateful for the safety of my family on the highways of life. Nicole and Ket and family arrived safely home last night. Thank you Heavenly Father. I am grateful that Dad and I got to go to roaring springs on Monday together with Brandi and her kids and Ginger. We had a really great time. Dad and I went to a movie last night after the water fun. We went to the transformers. Dad enjoyed it alot. I didn't realize how tired I was, till I sat down in the movie theather chairs. man, they felt so nice and comfortable.
My MoM and Dad come over on Sunday. My Dad had not seen my new bedroom, and has heard so much about it. He wanted to come see it, so they came. He liked it alot. we then went to dinner at the Country Kitchen. We had an enjoyable conversation. I am so happy and grateful that they were able to come over. Dad starts Radiation, and Chemotherphy today. I pray all will go well for him.
Please blog girls, if you havent' yet. I love to read your thoughts, and happenings. Have a wonderful day today, and we'll talk with you all later.

So much fun with my Girls

Last night we had a girls night out. We, Ginger, Krystal and I went to "The Nanny Diaries" It was a very fun movie to see. I enjoyed most of it. However, to think that some children grow up with nannies instead of mommies was a little sad.
Ginger and I ate popcorn and drank pop. Krystal chose not to have an y thing. She is so strong. Krystal is so pregnate. She is so cute. She has a little basketball out front, and everything else about her is still tiny. She still walks on the treadmill every day. ...I don't know, I remember when I was PG I just loved to eat!!! I didn't excercise! I enjoyed my growing BIG body. That is one of the main reasons I loved getting PG. That is besides the special baby at the end. Truely, it is amazing to me.
Terry and Aunt Della went to the cabin on Friday. There is the annual meeting on saturday. I chose to stay home so I could visit with my Dad, and also help Ginger An move into her new apartment. She is so excited for her new adventure.
I got up at fivethirty this morning. I don't know why, but I just needed to get up. Ginger is still sleeping. I am sure she will be up soon, ready to go.
Please enjoy your day and realize it is a gift. I pray that Brandi's drive home will be safe, and all will be well.
