Grandfather

Life is good. My gradfather in Idaho is getting ready to die. He is 89 years young and is ready to leave this life and go on to the other side to see my grandmother and some other family members. He was a great greandfather he and my grandmother would come to our dance recidles and piano recidles. He would still come to things even after my grandmother died. He taught me how to make cinnamon roles and come to my young womens one night and taught the girls there how to make them too. It was a fun time to be with him and cook with him. When we were younger we use to stay with my grandparents for a few nights in the summer we all looked forward to spending time with them. They treated us like we were the best kids ever. I am trying really hard to get next weekend off work so I can go and see him before he dies. My mother has all ready told me that he wants me to sing How Great Tho Art at his funeral. I am happy to do it. I get better and better at singing it with each time that I do it. My sister Celeste will play for me on the piano. We make a great team her and I. My Aunt Debbie and her son Jeremy and my Aunt Joyce came to help out with my grandfather. My brother Bryce and his family went to Idaho this weekend to help my Uncle Dee move out of his house into my grandfathers house that will become his until he passes away from kidney failer. I have a painful sinus infection and it has made me cough all the time so I try not to talk. Which if you know me that it very hard to do. Talking is one of my favorit things to do. I had to call my work yesterday and tell them that I was not able to come in as my head was pounding really bad. I hope that I will start feeling better soon. My kids keep asking me why are you not talking? I have to keep telling them that my voice has gone away. Alex and Becca have strep throut. They were not even feeling very sick. Years before before Alex got his toncles out he would tell me that his legg was hurting. I would take him in the the dr and the dr would say that he has strep so this week when he told me that his leg hurt I knew that he had strep. A few days later Becca come to me and told me that it hurt when she went pee. Lizzy had, had that problem a few months beofre and she ended up having strep and then knew that Becca had that too. They just kept playing like there was nothing wrong. Most kids get a feavor, stomach ach, or throw up, but not my kids that is why I had a hard time thinking that they really had something wrong with them. It has been a month sence my father in law passed away. I know Issac is having a hard time with it, but I know that he will be ok. I hope you all are doing well. God Bless!

LIFE

There is not much going on. I was picking up the kids from school yeasterday when Alex's teacher Ms. Wood told me that he has been talking more in class. He had just taken the Dibbles test (reading test) she said that he did really good. He talked realy loud for the lady giving the test, even louder that he had for his teacher and if his teacher came closer to where he was reading he would speak quiter. What a silly boy I have. I was teasing him the other day if he thought a girl in his class was cute and he said how did you know. I told him that she would like it if he were to talk to her and he smiled and told me no that she would not like it. I tease him every now and again about her. I know he likes it. He has the BEST speach teacher Mrs. Cantanavous she gets him to talk to most people that he needs to be talking to. The lady in the office was telling me yeasterday that she tries to tease him when gets his meds. after lunch I feel so blessed to have her there to help him. He sure has come a long way. I love it when he gets up to bare his testimony. You can not HEAR him, but you can FEEL him trying to convey his testimony. I know he chooses when he want to talk and if he does not want to he will not. Lizzy got kissed on her shoulder yesterday by a boy in her class. everyone in the calss knew about it. The teacher said that she had all ready told him before that it was not ok to kiss anyone. I guess that he had done it before this year and she had told his parents what he did and now she gets to tell them again. I told Mrs. Pruze that the father of the boy scares me because he is super creepy. He will just stare at me and it makes me feel very uncomfortable I just try to pre tend that I am busy with something on my phone so I do not have to deal with him. Lizzy was leader in me a few weeks ago she was super happy to get that. She got to sit at a special table and got to have a lunch brought in by Chick Fila. Her teacher also wrote her a little note. I was looking at Lizzy in her calss today and she was a lot taller than most kids. She looks like she could be in first grade. Her and Alex are the same height and almost the same weight. Becca is enjoying her pre school class. She has a really great teacher Mrs. Hansen. They get to spend part of there morning with Lizzy's class so I am sure that is fun for the girls to see each other. She is still acting like she can't do things, but I keep pushing her along and make her do them. Yesterday we went though her and Lizzy's clothes and I was able to get rid of 2 garbage bags of clothes. She was helping me put the clothes in the bag so that was nice. She is starting to talk really well. She is also wanting to learn how to read. She will bring me a book and ask me what does this say. She wants to be like her big brother and siter and read a book. She is good in the morning when we are reading our Book of Mormon to repeat the words that we say. Issac is still enjoying his job. They were so great to let Issac have so much time off when is father passed away. They said that they were sorry for him and told him that he could take as much time as he needed to take it all in. Him and his brother Tony went to speak to a lawyer about is father's things and they have done almost everything that they needed to do. I am sure that it a load off of all there minds. I am still working a lot, but I like my job. I feel really comfortable working there I and would like to think that I do a good job. Saturday I was there until 1:00 I was helping the manager and waiting for her to finish all her stuff. I got home at 1:15 and then I had to do something for my lesson for the next day so I was up until 1:45 and then I didn't want to get up the next morning for church. My primary class this year is much eaiser I just love it! I get to work with a wonderful Sister in the ward so that is nice too. The girls I teach are so quite and the one boy that I have does not come all the time, but when he does he is quite too. I have been trying to listen to good music on Pandora so I can make sure the spirit is in my home for when the kids get home from school.
