We have been busy with school. The kids are doing great. They have done a couple projects that they have enjoyed. Bubba has already done all his history/geography for they year. He will still have some later but he has done a years worth and is 2 units from done with Science! Can you tell what he is enjoying? He is almost 12! He has Priesthood Preview this Sunday! Then its time to help him learn and understand real well, come January is his birthday. We hope family can come. Grandparents- hm hint hint if your last name starts woth an O and ends with an N he would love to have you BOTH there. He only has a few male family members that can come, and that can give him the Priesthoom. So and and aunt and uncle in Ind also?? No pressure! JK If you can come we would love it, if not we will understand.He sang a duet in our Primary Program last week! He did great! I was very proud of him. Boo is good. Tomorrow is a youth Temple Trip! He is going. He goes as often as he can. He like them. He is doing good. He is good with schooling! Going through it fast. He is hard to keep up with also. He is growing into a young man (and growing litterally, cant afford to keep him in pants) He is a huge help. Nanna is good. She is better than she was. She is working hard on school and doing a good job with it. She will be done this year! I have mixed feelers over that one. She is my baby, I am not ready for her to be an adult, but its going to happen anyway. She is working ( did I tell you all that before?) well she is, she likes it. It has done lots for her self esteem. I am proud of her. It does make it harder with me working, getting her to and from and me working. She will have her liscence soon I hope, then she can take the van! AHHHH scary thought! Loo is awesome! Our primary program was last Sunday and she sang a SOLO!!! I am so proud of her! Her anxiety attacks have been so bad, and she has been working so hard to over come them this was a gigantic leap for her! i felt like jumping up and clapping and yelling and crying. Luckily I had self control but I am more proud and relieved than I have words for. For those that have seen how bad the attacks have been you understand. She is doing good in all areas like that. Pulling herself through very well. She is doing great in school. She is enjoying most of it. She does not like math. Everything else she likes for the most part. Sir N is doing good. He is more hugable than ever, loves everyone and says it much more! He is reading! and loves school! He is breezing through his school, smart kid that he is. He is growing fast. He has come far with the AS and its quirkiness. He is going to Primary! He took part in the program, actually went up with the kids!! Another major milestone! I wanted to cry over that. Considering a year ago he could not tolerate the noise of Primary and sat next to the Primary room with ear plugs just to be close to it, this is amazing! Chubby is great! He is working on learning all his colors,letters,numbers and the basiics. He is kind of struggeling in a way the other kids did not. I am unsure why but not to concerned. I know every child learns different, at different rates. He is brilliant, and does love to learn. He loves music. He is so sweet and loving. His imagination is unreal. Never have I seen a kid with an imagination like his. He sat through th Primary program,doing very good. I was proud of him. He did as good as he could. He did crack me up a few times giving me cheesy grins. He is silly. Baby E is almost 3! Can ya'll believe that? I cant. I feel like it was a few months ago, but at the same time its been a long time. She talks a lot. She is so sweet. Sht is polite and it is the sweetest thing when sh says please and thank you. Melts your heart. Her hair is curly, when its wet it goes clear to her bottom! She still hates her clothes, but its improving! I dont know what we are doing for her b-day but I want to do something special this year. Lets see what else, mom/grandma/D is ok. Still living with us. It will stay that way. We help eachother and without her I would have a much harder time with things. She helps with the house and kids while I work. I think without her its likely the kids would be in public school. Neither of us want that. She is ok. All the scary tests she had recently show she is ok. She saw the lung specialist today. She does not get her oxygen back during the day, she is breathing to good for it. This is good but bad. I see her up and needing it. The doc did say its ok to put it on if she needs to, the tank is here already. So she will use it when she needs. As for me I started my new job this week. So far its good. I like it. I hope it works. The pay is good enough I can support the kids fairly well after a while if I can keep working. I saw the doc for the results of my MRI this week. It was good news! My spine looks much better than he had thought! I do have severe arthritis as said, its that of a 0 yr old. Bot the degenerative diseae he saw did not show on the MRI so I guess I am ok there. So my pain is all Arthritis and Fibro. So he set me up with a 10's unit and Morphine. That was unsettling. But nothing else works. The 10's unit has been very helpful today. I like it so far! I am pretty unsettled over the med he gave me. Being 36 and on such a heavy dty pain killer is scary for me. I also know that the pain I am in constantly keeps me from functioning and doing all I need to do. Hopefully I can function on this stuff. I took the 1st one earlier tonight. I was afraid to take one before that. My grandma was on this stuff for as long as I remember and I keep picturing her bedridden, my mind then pictures me that way. Knowing it could happen, more than likely will eventually will its scary. Hopefully not. I am still working with the Holistic doc. I am taking all he wants. I know it is helping. So That all said. We are for the most part good. We would love to hear from family. Those that can come for Marcan in Jan it would be cool. Ind Mo is not that far, I cant remember how many hours. You would be more than welcome to stay with us, we would love it, and visit. We do understand if not. We love all of our friends and family out there reading this. Keep in touch and write us!

Hi all! We are into our school year and enjoying it. So far we have been just doing the basics, no big projects yet. We will eventually but not yet. Kids are taking a relaxed approach daily. They Kick back and do their book work or computer work.We are again taking part in the Home School group! Basket ball is starting again! This year Boo and Bubba will be playing! I am excited and I hope so bad that I et to go to more games than last year. They have to get pledges/donations for the total cost of $110 each. So if any of you reading are willing to donate they need it. They will be having a shoot out where you can do a certain amout per shot made or just a flat donation. The shoot out is the 28th of October. They will be going around to local business's to try for pledges but I dont know if they will get enough that way. Since there are 2 this year its even more for me to cover if they are short, I do not have it. Its been rewarding in a big way already! Sir N is reading! He kept saying he could not read but he was reading, he did not know it. I got him to read his first book by telling him to just tell me what each page said, we did that one page at a time. At the end we did loads of high fives and I told him how proud I was he had read a book! Then he realized he could read and read 10 short books that day! The whole family made a big deal about it. I love to see them learn new things, and I really love to see them realize they can do a new skill. There is not much thats is more rewarding! Bubba has already done a full year of History and geography! And did excellent in it. He wanted to do more. I told hi not until he does the same with all the rest of his subjects. If I let him keep going in history/geography like that nothing else will get done! I am so very proud of him for doing it and doing it well. It was not done sloppy, or rushed. It was done very well and because he was enjoying it so much. Chubby is doing great. He is learning and is very challenging to teach! His imagination is so totaly off the wall. He does not stay with you long. So we work on a subject, loose him for a while. Then get him back, the process is repeated untill he is either done for the day or we give up for the day! He loves learning abc's and colors and cutting things out. He will sit and be read to, I think thats his favorite. He really likes the white board and the ABC magnets also. Baby E loves to play with them also. Some of the time she sits with him while doing his schooling. Hopefully she will pick up on a lot of it and be ahead of where she should be when she starts school. Loo is doing good. She has some pretty cool stuff to do this year, and some cool books she will be using. Her reading amazes me! She is also doing very good in math. She is coming out of her shyness some!! In primary for the yearly program she is singing a song with 1 other girl!! She wanted to do it. I am proud of her for wanting to do it. There have been several Sundays that I have not been able to attend Church due to Health reasons and she has called and gotten a ride for herself. I am proud of her for her devotion to attending, her willingness to go alone, and take the responsibility for going at such a young age! If I am not out of bed on Sunday when she wakes up she will come in wake me up, if Iam not able to go she will ask if she can go without me, she then goes and calls for a ride. She will be up and ready in time. Boo is doing good. We have had a very hard time finding school stuff that does not bore him. He learns so fast and is so advanced in so many ways that most of his grade level bores him. He is doing a variety of different things, books, computer stuff, all kinds of stuff. Lots of reading. The way he is going I dont know how I will keep up with him till 12th grade.I think he may graduate early. He is doing good in Church. Still loving Scouts and very involved in it. He takes the Priesthood very serious. This is also his first year of Early morning seminary. Wow is that a hard one. We have had a hard time with gas money to get him there. We talked and he is willing to ride his bike to go. I was thinking that would be ok, its about 4 miles, but he would be riding to in the dark. That scares me. But I cant afford the gas every day either. I have spent lots of time praying about how to make it work. So far the only thing I have come up with is either the bike, or taking him and just having faith that the Lord will somehow provide a way for it to work. Nanna is doing good. She is doing much better than she was. She is stabalizing some. Hopefully that will continue. She is doing very good in her schooling. Studies very hard. This is her last year of high school! I can't believe my baby is graduating this year. It does not seem like that long ago I had her and she was a tiney little thing weighing 4 pounds 2 oz, It is amazing how fast it goes by. She is working her first job also. She has a lot to keep her busy. She still helps around the house a lot most days, and with kids. Baby E is adorable and a tease. She is growing fast. She has the most beautiful long hair. She is talking more and more daily. She likes to sit at the piano and play music, I think she will be a natural. Loo sits with her at it sometimes and they practice with the lesson book. She loves to play it while we all sing- if its her idea. This week for FHE Boo planned it! We had so much fun and laughed so hard. We did the Huffin Family Olympics, then duck duck goose. My children play duck duck goose so different, it was very funny. The younger kids just didnt grasp running around everyone. They ran though, back and forth, to other rooms. It was great! My mom is ok. She took a fall that took us to the ER. There we found she has a mass on part of her spine. So she has been having lots of tests to find out what it is. We are praying hard. We would appreciate all the prayers possible. She is pretty scared about it, even if she wont always admit it. Other than that she is doing ok. I am ok. I went in to the pain clinic this week. The doc went over all my history, He was not to happy that noone had done any new tests or x-rays in over 10 years. So he did x-rays right there. It shows I have degenerative bone disease. I have the spine of a 50 year old woman. I have to go in for an MRI to see how bad exactly, check for nerve damage and anything else. He is thinking my Rheumatic fever has flaired up also. So thats my update. I am amazingly not as stressed as I think I should be. I think that is due too the 2 books I have been reading. 21 days closer to Christ and Encircled in the arms of his love. They both are perfect reading material for this time of my life. Its like each day that I ready fits what I feel. This months Ensign was written for me to. I know t was. It let me know That my Heavenly Father and Jesus both do know me, they know my needs and I just have to have faith. Wow this is long! I did not realize I had so much to say. Remember we love all our friends and family reading this. We pray for all of you that are in need. We would love to hear from you, email, a message here or a phone call. If you cant call, no LD or whatever call collect, or let me know you want to talk through an email. I have free ong distance and can call all I want. ~~luv Jae~~ The Temple Is about Families "When you come to the temple you will love your family with a deeper love than you have ever felt before. The temple is about families. . . . It extends to parents, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, forebears, and especially our grandchildren! This is the Spirit of Elijah, which is the spirit of family history work; and when inspired by the Holy Ghost, it prompts the turning of the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. Because of the priesthood, husbands and wives are sealed together, children are sealed to their parents for eternity so the family is eternal and will not be separated at death."Richard H. Winkel, "The Temple Is about Families," Ensign, Nov. 2006 |

Twinkling in the sky I look to see what it may be Stars are bright tonight lighting the sky As I watch I am reminded of days from long ago And I wonder what the future will hold ? Twinkling in the sky so bright So many reminding me of you Reminding me of love gone by I wonder will it be again? I look closer, taking in the sky as far As my eye can see So many stars, each reminding me of you. Each bringing a memory Will there be more? Or are the memories done? Are twinkling stars all that’s left? Are we living with false hope? Will we make more memories Under the stars? |

OUCHIES!!!! I wake feeling very motivated Thursday morning. I planned on making dutch oven cinnamon rolls for breakfast as a treat for the kids. So as I grab the pan, which of course had stuff on it, the bricks fell! 2 of them slamming into the top of my foot. The doctors and nurses in the ER thought it was very funny. They said that it does not look broken but they are not positive. So I am off it for several days and then crutches. Then go see my doc again. Me sit and do notta, ya right!! Not happening to well. We are having a yard sale! Started today, ends tomorrow. We have already made a little money. Not lots but enough to put gas in the van so we can get to church Sunday!! And have gas for whatever else comes up. As long as its small. We are doing good, its been a good week so far this week. Jesus suffered deeply because He loves us deeply! He wants us to "When sore |
