Many baptizems already. Angi is working now and again, still nervious. You do great. Linda has put in a huge swiming pool in her back yard, so her and the kids can swim. It must be nice to be rich!! joking. I had my last test done today. I was a cystocope on the bladder, it is looking much better. I am still having infections but getting new medications soon. Havn't descided when I will get the knees done, not to soon I hope. Larry is having some chest pains again, if he does much. Guess we are getting old and worn out.Pam is busy with a house full. Too much stress, and is having panic attact's. Bye Bye everyone, she need a break. Hope that that baby will soon be here for Rachael and Tim. Pray all will be well soon.

Its timeJune 3rd

I wrote 2 pages and lost it all. So will start over. I always hit the wrong bottom. It has been a busy 2 months. Nathan is in the MTC. Denise and Linden flew with him to Provo. He will leave from there around the 13th of July. They had a nice trip. Them the 27th of May we flew to Salt Lake for Shaylee's high school graduation. She can't be 18. She thinks she is all grown up now.
We spent 9 days at Pams, Dad helped in her yard, she is doing a lot of tree and shurbs down. Looks good. Then we went to St George for a week. We got to play with the twin for 5 hours on Saturday. They are so cute. Cherika works from 6am-2pm and Alan babysits. Then Alan works from 3pm-11pm and she takes care of them,no babysitters. They are wonderful parents. Very well done. Angi graduated from LCC and has had interviews with dentists. You did great.Steve still has no work. He needs his knee surgery again, but his doctor broke his hand, Lisa has a ood job with OMLB lab. Good thing. Trisha graduated from middle school. she looked so beautiful. We had grauates from nursery, kindergarder, gradeschool middle school, high school and college. Well done !!!
I have spent the past 2 months going to doctors. Hate it! I had a cancer taken off the end of my nose, they had to stitch it up so I had a mini nose job. I have had ultrasounds, cat scans and tests. More to come in July. My hip doctor is pleased with my hip surgery. I had him x-ray my knees (they do both at the same time to compare) Both knees are ful of arthris (bone on bone) guess that is why I can't walk good. Surgery down the line. For now he shot steriods in them. I think it has helped. What a suprise. Larry has been doing family history and reading life stories of family's. He enjoys this. I have been doing my scrap books and I love this. Just 2 very busy months. Larry keeps our yard beautiful. Wish I could help more. Linda has her hands full. Melody and baby Tim are living there for now, plus Jordan. She is about to loose it. Kim will be here the 23rd of July for a month. That will be nice. She had quite a scare with Dallin and the bee stings all over him. He was very ill for a week.Better now. We got our big car fixed and I got a new chair (thanks to the goverment checks) David is hoping to go to school in the fall. Hope it works out for him.
Guess I had better sign foo LOVE YOU ALL LOTS AND LOTS MOM

Long time

May 1st
Seems like a long time since I have updated this blog. You know nothing much has happened the last 5 weeks. I am sure all of you all know all the details of my surgery and hospital stay for 2 weeks. I am well pleased with the hip surgery. I have had only 2 days at first with pain. The next few day I don't recall much, except talking weird. Denise was there with me day and some nighs for 2 weeks. Larry and Joe was there with lots of blessings. Dad was a trooper. Thanks to all the family for all the love and prayers and conscern Seems like The rehab was very intense but good. My biggest conscern was the pain in my bladder area and a ongoing upset stomach. My legs were like huge barrels.. They had gone down some before I came home . Pam came on the 7th, what a treat. She waited on me hand and foot. She cleaned and redid things that was undone for a long time. She was a angel. She had been so sick when I was, but eeemed to be OK. Sat the 11th Denise showed up with her gloves and redid our front and back yard, with new bark and 15 new flowers. She worked all day. Larry edged and mowed ,(got too tired and hurt his back) Our yard looks wonderful. For Easter I did go to the Willie's for a nice dinner, nice to get out for a while. The day before I got my horrible hair done, that helped. Well Dave isn't doing to good, we feel for him, wish we could help.
It is May 1st and Larene and Skip are here to help David, hopefully he will go back to St.George with them for a short time. Tim and Rachel and Hannah got here last night for Nathan's endowment on May 2nd. He was made a Elder by Linden (His dad) on my birthday GREAT)
I had a wonderful birthday here. 28 family came by with flowers and money for flowers. We enjoyed icecream cake and brownies.. Thanks everyone. WE HAVE A SPECIAL FAMILY.
Nathan had his last day at work yesterday at. Office Max. Only 13 more days and he will be in. the MTC. WE LOVE YOU ALL, PS. Debbie spent 10 days in Texas with Kim, and Niki spent 13 days before that in Texas with her Dad's family and she got to see Kim and kids. Angi has been working for a real Dentist for a while and a new one next week. She loves it. Great Job.
Better stop or it will to long to read. Love Mom,Grandma.

Update on my surgery. Monday the urlogyist called and said I had an bladder infection. Different this time. Thought it might be kidney stones, This is 3 in the past month. She thought the surgeon would want to cancel the surgery She was calling him personaly. In the mean time the Cardilogist called to remind me of my stress test the 17th. I canceled it. Then the urolgist called back and said the surgeon wanted to go ahead as planned. so I reschedlued the stress test.

David had a nice birthday, His friends took him to dinner at AppleBee's then we had his favorit choclate cake and ice cream, Angi and girls were here and the Willie's. Sheila and Easton came Sunday. He had said no party, but we did anyway. Happy Birthday David.
All else is well and we are happy that Kendra got moved into her new 3 bedroom Apartment and Steve is out of the picture. Denise has her 3children 5 days a week 9 hours a day.

All is well with both mother and babbies. Dad is very tired. This has just begain. We are so glad they aare here and all is well. Can't waite to see them. Larene hasn't bee able to see them yet either, she has a bad score throat.
Well that is the good news, now not such good news. I have had a bladder infection over the week end, I am so upset. I had passed the 2 month mark, I am so afraid I will have to start all over with 3 more months. Maybe I will never get this hip fixed. My oxygen levels are still low so no good news about that either. I guess I can't give up. Time heals all things, I keep telling David. Larry got the valentine on the fence and I got up the valentine decorations. So we are ready for Valentines day. Need to make treats for the kids.My scrap books are done through Jan 2009, so thats good. Seems like the whole family has been sick with score throats and flue bugs. Hope everyone is better by now.

Jan.s half over already

A short update from Mom, we are doing well here. Denise thought we should diet with her family, so we have been trying to do that. yes we need to. It seems like Dad has cut his insulin way down, so that is good. Wish us luck. Its hard when Finn's want to go out to eat 3 times a week. and have birthday cake. Well a good report for me. 6 weeks with no bladder infections. only 8 more and I can schedual my hip surgery. It will probably be first part of Apri, after we get back from Utah. We are leaving the 25th of Feb. and will come home a week after the twins are blessed. We are glad that David is here to take care of Pattie and the house, so Denise won't have to come over every day. Still no work for either David or Steve. They are both depressed. They are trying so hard. Pray for them. Glad Joe is back to work. Just hope his work picks up soon. Baby Timothy was back in Portland twice this week for more test. He did drink 3/4 ounce of milk the other day, so thats good.Larry has been going out with the missionary's some. He enjoys this. We got a new Bishop last Sunday. Will miss Bishop Bingham. Greg Hansen is our new one. He grew up with Larene's family. His mom was their seninary teacher. I don't have Emily much, I miss her, she is a real handful now. Larry fixed his walker for me, I will try to use it more, cause it is getting harder to walk each day. Happy New Year and we love You All. Mom

Jan update

Jan 13th
Sorry it has been so long, but time flys when you are having fun. The hoildays were fun. Jan has brought more changes in our life. We have David living with us for a while, that is fun. He is still in a lot of pain. He got all dressed up in a white shirt and tie and went to church with us. After church we had Joe and family here for Joe's birthday dinner. Niki and Jaris and Austin came also. Austin is so cute and smiles at us.
I have had 3 weeks now with no bladder problems, only 21/2 more months to go and then they will think about my hip surgery. We have tickets to go to Utah the 25th of Feb until the 25th of March. We will get to see the Best twins blessed, Can't waite. Hope to have a nice visit with Pam, Shaylee, and Matthew, & Larene and Skip. Pam has tickets to come for 2 weeks when I have my surgery. That wil be a big help. I will be pretty limited for about 6 weeks. I must get all better so we can go back to Utah in June for Shaylee's graduation. Can't believe she is almost 18.
Baby Timothy is home now, still has to be feed by a tube in his nose.
Our family is blessed in many ways. We love all of you and hope this next year brings much happiness. Love you all Mom
