puzzled

I have been doing puzzles lately. I have my puzzle table up and I have been working on my [I don't want altzeimers later ...mental exercises] I have been teachng Christapher how to get around Idaho falls for his classes. we've been busy with our fall work. I hope to scrap book this weekend.

drama queen

Rebbeca is having a great time in school. she bought a sims game with her babysitting $ and she has the booklet memorized. she has been depressed lately because her babysitting has been slow the last month. she loves and spoils my cat taffy. she loves young womens and her friends. she talkes a lot. I'm throwing her a surprise swim birthday party tomorow. she'll be so happy.

ain't

Steven is looking forward to wrestling this year. he is also taking on a lot of Robert's mannerisms.
you know like wearing his hat in the house and using the word "ain't" I really don't like this. I'm working on getting him to improve this. he also has fun with teasing Rebbeca.

dancing huh?

Christapher let me know friday night @ 5 pm that David had a date to homecoming the following night. so I scurried around to get flowers and other things that David would need. they went to the zoo then out to eat, then to the dance. he got his pictures yesterday and they are so nice looking. David went with Christapher to institute last night. he really enjoyed himself imensly. David has been putting onions out to dry daily. he remembers thing s so well. I'm super impressed.

crazy busy

9-1-1 !!! Christapher is taking EMT classes he is learning some really cool stuff. he is also taking institute classes and working 8 hour days 5 days a week. we figure on February 5 .he can get his papers and submit them on February 19!!!! this is so exciting! he also had his wisdom teeth out!!! he only had two which is $ lucky for us. he is the sunday bulletin person in his singles branch. he is very busy. he spends saturdays with his best friend, mat, if he's up from utah and sunday afternoons hometeaching. he has little rec time. any extra time he spends studying for classes.

busy bees

we have worked, sweated, strained, groaned, grunted, and exhausted ourselves getting 5 cord of wood in the last 4 weeks. we have made our fingers sore picking huckleberries and chokecherries. tomorrow we will strain some more getting potatos. we have sweated while canning many quarts of beans over several weeks and 49 quarts of beets[ in the same 10 hours!] the same day.

sinus blues

Robert still has his infection in his sinuses. the doctor is talking surgery again. this is not fun. this infection is affecting his skin. he bruises more easily and his scratches take longer to heal. he is miserable !/2 the time. he is doing saline rinses in his nasal passage twice daily and he feels it's not helping. he sees the doctor next week for a prognosis.
