Stake Conference...yikes!!!!

So, I was just asked to speak in our stake conference this Sunday. I am scared to death to say the least! I was asked to talk about the things that have gone on in the past year with my Dad and with Bella. It is going to be difficult, and I hope I can get through it. I was so shocked when he asked me to speak, I literally thought he was kidding. But I guess he wasn't, so I will do it! I don't want to, but I will do it! So please pray for me, I will need any help I can get!!!

Camping up Scout Mountain

We took the kids up Scout Mountain a couple of weekends ago and had a great time! Our good friends, The Davis', came up one of the nights for dinner and smores. We had a couple of visitors come while they were there. We had two skunks come start ripping apart our garbage right in front of us. They were not scared of us at all. It was crazy! We were pretty worried about getting sprayed, but it all worked out okay. It was actually pretty interesting watching them so close! We had a lot of fun, and were sad when they weekend was over.

Here is the skunks mess the next morning. The kids weren't too excited to clean up there mess!

Happy birthday mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!! I know it is a hard day for you, but I hope you are having a good one anyway! We love you so much and want you to know we are thinking of you! Love you more!!

So I took Bella to the doctor again today because she has been sick. And she has another ear infection. I think we are going to do tubes in her ears. She has had too many infections. I feel so bad for her. She has thrown up twice today, and running a fever. Our air conditioner broke so we are so hot to boot! It is fun trying to deal with her fever in a boiling hot house! I feel like life is kicking my butt right now! I hate days like this!!! Tomorrow will be better....hopefully!

Bells

Bella Bella Bo Bella...you are so precious! She just had her 9 month check up on Thursday, and the Doctor said she was doing pretty good! Her head size hasn't grown more than it should, and her measurements were all good. She is behind quite a bit in her development, but I think she will catch up. We have to get another MRI in December, and I think that will tell us a lot more. I am so grateful for good doctors that care about her, we just keep praying every day that she is going to be okay. We love her so much and are so grateful that she is part of our family.

Private or not private....

So I am thinking of making my blog not private! It is just a pain, and I am kinda sick of always logging in. How important is it to keep it private? Give me your thoughts please...

Family home evening

For family home evening we decided to plant some trees in our back yard! There is no shade, so we were hoping to add some landscaping and shade! It was quite the project!
