Congrats to Rebekah!

This year our elementary school has a new Principal. Mr. Gray has started student of the week. Rebekah was chosen as Student of the Week for this week. She was so excited. She has her name on the marquee. Rebekah also was given a pencil and her name will be on a plaque that will hang in the school. We are so proud of her! Way to go Rebekah!

My New Best Friend

On Friday, I finally had my foot surgery. Things went well. I now have a pin that is sticking out of my toe and I have a lovely boot to wear. I am sure that on Sunday I will look so great with my new boot! My new best friend is the Cryotherapy machine. All I do is hook it up to tubes on my foot and I have instant cold on my foot! It is great!

Saturday was hard to rest. I wanted to yet I didn't. Clyde had bought National Treasure II and I am Legend. So, we had a little movie party Saturday afternoon. Sunday I woke up and Clyde had made me breakfast in bed and told me I wasn't aloud to leave the bedroom. He put up a sign telling the girls, "NO Computer (since the computer is above our room), NO Mom, and No Entry" It was funny to see the girls trying to sneak in to see me. I love the fact that they missed me! Clyde has been great at checking on my Cryotherapy machine and making sure it is always full of ice.

IKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got off the phone with Sandra. It seems that Ike has hit them! She says they didn't get any rain, just strong winds. They haven't had any electricity since yesterday afternoon! They have trees down and it's a mess. I told her that as long as American still is flying in tomorrow I am coming! If I have to help cut trees up and things like that, I don't care. I am still coming.

As far as I can see, it looks as if my flight is still on for tomorrow. Yeah!!!

Ok, I think that is all I needed to say. . .

I think this is all that has been happening in our family the past several weeks. Clyde and I are still battling our coughs. Clyde had a cold. I thought I was getting his cold, except the Dr. said I was having asthma attacks. So now I am taking Steroids, an antibiotic, and have an inhaler. I am starting to feel much better. I am glad that Ike is gone. I think this is what has started everything up!

I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane. . .

Every time I start to think about my trip the song "I'm leaving on a jet plane" comes into my mind. Except I know when I will be back! I am leaving Tuesday morning to go and see Sandra! I am so excited!! I have so much to do, just know where to start. I will be gone until Saturday afternoon. I am looking forward to having time to just sit and visit. We have talked about painting some rooms in Sandra's house and doing some canning.

Thank you Clyde for this wonderful Birthday Gift!!

Another Hamster is gone. . .

I am sad to report we have lost yet another hamster. Hannah was playing with her hamster on Friday night and everything seemed ok. Saturday she went to go and clean his cage out. He was still and so she moved him to clean it. She thought that he was just sleeping. When she put him back in his cage she realized that he was dying.

I think one of the hardest things a mom has to do is watch her children cry over a dead pet. I am grateful for our neighbors Debi and Paul who have helped us out several times with our dying pets. Paul place Figit in a box and Clyde and Hannah buried him in the backyard during the rain. He is resting nicely near the plum trees.

Painting Bedrooms

We have also been busy painting bedrooms. Hannah's room has never been painted. It is one of the few rooms we don't have painted in our house. Hannah's room originally was our game room. Clyde built a wall and made it into an extra bedroom. Sarah and Hannah marked off the squares on the wall. Clyde painted the blue color and I painted the edges around the baseboards.

Georgah's room was one time our tv room. It has also served as a guest room, but now the tv is out of there and it's just Georgah's room. Clyde painted the walls and the swirls. Georgah and I bought the diamond looking stones and the glue to have them glued to the wall. I helped by painting the edges again. Georgah says her room seems like a room a Princess would have.

Solar Screens!

We just had solar screens installed on our house. I love the way they look!

First Day of School!

School has finally started. Or should I say it started 3 weeks ago! I have been busy and am just now getting to posting pictures. Between the 4 girls we are now at 3 schools and 2 of them are new for us this year.

This picture doesn't do Sarah any justice. This was early in the morning say 6:30! Sarah is in seminary this year. So, with her being in seminary that means she is a FRESHMAN and 14!! It still boggles my mind that she is in High School! Sarah is in Journalism and Debate this year. So far she loves it!

Hannah is 12 and is in the 7th grade. Hannah is playing the flute in the band this year.

Georgah is 9 and in the 4th grade. She loves to read and can't wait for band to start back up. She so wants to play the drums. She also would love to learn to play the guitar. Do I hear future girl band member??

Rebekah is 7 and in the 2nd grade. She too loves to read! Rebekah is a friend to everyone.
