Saturday



We were able to go through a session this morning to support Grayson while he took out his endowments.
Erick, Kasey, Shawn and I attended while Kimber watched Jacy.
We went to lunch and of course we hit Costco for a Sand and Water Table (Daycare write off).
Tonight we went to the reception for Erick's friends Son. There was 27 weddings this morning, the temple was very busy. It sure felt nice to get in a calm place and reflect on all my blessings.
We are really proud of Grayson. He is going to be an awesome missionary!



The Dianosis

I finally got a chance to talk to the Doctor. I am basically pre-diabetic. I don't have to take any medication. Whew! He is just taking precautions. I am going to meet with a diabetic nutritionist and learn how to control my blood sugar. I get to test it twice a week, fasting and non-fasting. So hopefully getting educated will help me avoid the real thing. I also ended up with a sinus infection and got a Z pack and feel so so so much better!
This week I should hear the results of the sleep study I did. It's possible I have sleep apnea. Like I said previously, I hope it comes back normal. Another night at the sleep center is not my idea of a good time.

Colts Baptism/our new bishop

The last two weeks have been long ones.
 I went in to see Dr. Marshell just to have a routine visit so I can get refills on my prescriptions.
I always have to do a fasting blood test for my cholesterol, and he tests my thyroid levels basically a whole panel of stuff. My triglycerides always have been a little high. but this time they where double what they should be. So I got to do a second blood test to see what my sugar was doing in my body. Then came the news I have diabetes. 
I also went through one of the longest nights of my life having a sleep study. I am supposed to have the results of that test back next week. I hope it comes back normal so I don't have to do another night there.
We decided to make a quick trip up for colts baptism. After the luncheon Jim let us know he was getting put in as Bishop the next day. We stayed to support him and get to see him set apart. It was a great way to end the weekend.
Dad and Mom we decided not to stop and see you on the way home because I came home with the flu and didn't want to share.

Out with the old, In with the new!

After nearly 9 years of family life and Day Care we replaced the carpet in the living room and the family room.
Everyone was so willing to help get furniture moved and the old carpet and padding pulled out.

The padding in the family room where the daycare play had basically turned to green dust.

Our new carpet is sooo soft. We love these tax write offs!

Kyle made this chair to replace one of the old ones that died!
He is so talented.

Tonight Kyle and Kurtis went to Court of Honor.
Kyle earned his forth palm. He and Kurtis earned their carpentry and path finding merit badges. These were only offered in 2010 for the 100th birthday celebration.
Kurtis also had his District board of Review this last week for his Eagle.
Be watching for his Eagle Ceremony Invitation in the mail. 

December 2010

Our Computer decided to take a vacation in December and didn't manage to get back until this last Friday.
So a recap of  December.  I didn't just get elected Cedar City Ladies Auxiliary President, I got thrown right in for the Fireman's Christmas Party. I got to thank the outgoing presidency,  introduce the new one and I  run the raffle. Weird the outgoing one didn't do that. Oh well, It just gets me going a little early for the new year.

We had a nice quiet Christmas at home.



Kimber made everyone omelets for breakfast.



Santa helped Kyle finish the last of Math for his High School Requirements.



Kyle got braces.

And of course, We had a party for New Years Eve.

Some of us didn't quite make it to midnight, but we all had a great month!

Getting ready for Christmas



Every year we make about 25 dozen cookies of assorted kinds to hand out to friends, neighbors, Co-workers, Home and Visiting Teaching families.
 Kasey and Kimber tried to give their Shawn and Grayson cookie men a six pack which worked great until we cooked them.
 Kyle got to dress up like Santa to take goodies to his Home Teaching families.
