~Senior Formal~

These are some pictures of Jurney and Jaden. They had the opportunity to go to the Olive Garden and to the Utah Symphony. The kids like to call this the "Senior Formal". We do not do "the prom" so this is just a way for the kids to be able to get all decked out and practice their etiquette. This is Jaden's first time... he wanted to be able to rent a tux.. we told him, that would be fine, but you must earn the money yourself. So he did.. He earned enough money to pay for the tux, his dinner, and change left over! Jurney already had a very nice dress that she was given awhile ago..(Thank You Mrs. B.) So her goal was to get an up-do... Well, she also found several jobs around town to earn the money.. She was able to earn money for her hair, dinner, and some change to spare!
They had a great time. I am thankful for the blessing that my children have to be brought up in the Lord!

Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

First TIME....

This will be Jaden's first time to wear a tux. He will be going to a Senior Formal. They go out to the symphony and to a fancy restaurant. Jurney will also be going to this event. This will be her 3rd time.. I will posting pictures of them next week.. Jurney has a very beautiful dress... Man, my kids are really growing up..

2 Peter 3:18 "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen."

Day 2!

This is day 2 for Joshua. He had his 6Th eye surgery, yesterday at the Moran Eye Center is SLC. His surgeon was Dr. Patel. I would tell you his first name, but I do not even know how to pronounce it! ;)

The surgery lasted for maybe and hour.. It seemed like way longer, but that was just me being a mom!

Joshua had a very hard time the first 24 hours.. He would not open his eyes at all. This concerned me because he only had the left eye done this time.

But Praise Be to GOD! He woke up this morning and about an hour or so into the morning he wanted to eat and watch a movie.. So we told him that he would have to open his eye first! Here's hat he looks like today. He looks very good.

We have to keep him down for the first week to make sure he does not over do it.. I thought... do they know that they are talking about MR. JOSHUA who learned how to run not walk?? Thank you to all who have prayed on his behalf.. God is good and does answer prayers!

Philemon 1:4 "I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,"

What a MAN!

Look at what my HONEY gave to me for Valentines Day! Aren't they beautiful?!

I love him.. He is my only one and true love! I praise God for a man who loves me! Ryan you are my best friend, my love, my all! Happy Valentines Day! I love you more than words can speak, more than you can know!

Song of Solomon 4:7 "Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee."

The Eye Doctors

This is Joshua at Dr. Hoffman's office. Joshua has been seeing Dr. Hoffman since he was 5 days old. Joshua is going to be having his 6Th eye surgery on February the 26Th. On the way to the eye appointment he kept telling me ..."Momma, my eye is okay,".. The doctor and the surgeon told him that we were going to get his eye fixed.. So now he says that his eye is broken! I am praising God for the chance to raise my children to follow and trust in God. Joshua the other night at church, raised his hand for prayer request.. Pastor looked and him and said "Yes, Joshua?" Joshua just said, "Pray for my eye surgery!" What a blessing! I love this little guy!

3 John 1:4 "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth."

A Sunday Duet!

Jurney and Michael sang

"This is my Father's World" this last Sunday at church. It was a real treat to hear them sing. Jurney even called Michael, the night before, so that his tie could match her dress! Jurney loves to sing. She is trying to talk me into singing a Special with her.. one day I will.. My voice has been on the fritz for a while now, so I have to find the right song. Guess I had better get searching for it! :)

Psalm 144:9 "I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee."

I will help you up!

We went out for my brother Ben's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUDDY!!) dinner down in Ogden.. His little girl Lilly falls over.. and Rylee (Ben's other little girl) and Joshua came to her rescue! They were so eager to help her out! She just laid there smiling...They ended up laughing so hard that they could not get her up.. It was so funny.. We had a fun night of visiting with the family.. Good Food and Good Fun!

Psalm 124:8 "Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth."

80's.. Just for funnies!

I LoVe.. my Jurney!!

She is always messing with her hair and doing weird things.. Tuesday she comes upstairs to help me with dinner..looking like this... she says.. MOM, is this 80's or what..

Yep.... So of course I had to capture it! She said that this look was not complete without a mouth full of chewing gum..

Love the big ORANGE earrings.. Fashion is always changing.. Life is always changing..

I am glad that I have something that is never changing..

Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, to day and for ever."

Schooling...with the boys...

As you all know.. I teach at a private christian school at my church.. Things are going great!!! Normally, the babies go to my friend Lara's house for the day, but they are all sick with strep throat... Soooo they have been coming to school with me. I have loved it! They follow the dress code and everything.. Believe it or not.. you barely even know that they are there.. Here they are the morning of chapel.. "Cheese!"

Deuteronomy 6:7 "And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."

Happy Birthday to....

my DAD! Unfortunately, he is celebrating it in Ogden Regional Hospital. Yesterday he fell when he got home from dialysis. My mother had to call 911. They took him to the Brigham Hospital, where they made sure that he was stable and then made the decision to have him transported to Ogden where they could better care for him. He is having many test ran today. Some of which include: CAT scan (to look at his pituitary gland), Echo Cardiogram (to check for fluid around the heart), Upper GI ( to figure out why he always has nausea), and last but not least lots and lots of blood work! Needless to say, We love you and want for you to get better. If he is able to go home today.. we are all getting together at his house for a birthday dinner! Happy Birthday DAD!
