Another Summer Sunday
3 sisters
Who love each other
tho at times little tiffs come between them.



 But in the end...

Love wins

Sisters

LaVor is still away.
He has been in Floriday at IGUG all week
and now he is in Huntsville
visiting Alisha and Jarom

Another Summer Sunday.

Sunday--3/27/2011 and the week

Abby and friend Megan

Angelic...

I love this goofy crooked smile...


This week was a pretty ordinary week
But as with any week things happen that don't happen each week...
such as:
I celebrated my 52nd birthday
Lavor found out he was diabetic
Sam's ceiling sprung a leak
Above leak was fixed after a full's day work of LaVor and Sam
(the leak is repaired so now we need to fix the ceiling!)(always something!)
Sam went to his endocrine doctor and found out that he grew 1/3 inch and lost 8 lbs.
(dr doesn't like him to loose weight...so he increased his testosterone)
Sam is 6 feet 4 inches and weighs 177 lbs---kinda skinny
Chase found his DS that he has lost since before Christmas
(it was on a top shelf in the play room)
Lexi and I painted the linen closet and cabinet in the upstairs bathroom
(pictures next week)
Changed out the winter clothes for the summer clothes
(and of course today it is FREEZING!!)
Lexi ran a full 3 miles w/o stopping!!




Some ordinary things also happened:
We completed a full week of school
(first one after spring break---always a hard one)
Everytime we past McDonald's on the road Davis would exclaim, "Chicken Nuggets!!"
Lacey had 2 tons of homework and kept so busy trying to juggle work, school and kids.
(Alisha can relate I am sure!)
The house got dirty, the family got hungry, and the clothes needed laundring
(is what most of what my week consisted of)


All in all the week wash a good one
:)

Sunday--3/20/2011

It's the end of spring break
tomorrow we go back to the grind.

No one is excited to do such
but in a few short months
the school year will end
and it will be SUMMER!!!!

Spring has Sprung

A year ago Alisha and kids came for a visit
and for my birthday
my kids bought me 13 forsythia bushes.
And so now every spring around my birthday I get to enjoy
my birthday from my kids
:)

I love daffodils!
Daffodils and forsythias are the first flowers to bloom
in the spring
a sure sign that
the world will be beautiful soon
with all of nature's beauty!!

It also is a reminder
that I have a HUGE yard
to cultivate and tame!!

I look at it and get overwhelmed
but then remind myself to
take one thing at a time and that it
will not get all done this year!!

As for the home front,

we all are feeling better.

Davis ended up having strep

but after a course of antibiotics is doing much better.

The rest of us have the sniffles but hopefully after another week

that will subside also.

Weird Sunday

Only half of us made it to church today...

and if I didn't teach and do the nursery it would have probably been 5 of us staying home...

and I don't stay home very often from church...

so why?

We are all SICK!!!

Davis is running a temp of 104 and has swollen glands all over his neck (a trip to the drs in the am will happen)

And the rest of us are all snotty and achy...BLAH!!!!!

But it was a good thing Sam, LaVor, Chase and myself went because...

LaVor was made a High Priest today!

 He was ordained by our home teacher Bro. Cowart.

He has served as the secretary in the High Priest group and I guess it was assumed that he was a High Priest

but he is now being called as the 2nd assistant and so with a closer look at his membership file

it showed he was an Elder. 

Now he is a High Priest...and I LOVE HIM!
