Sophie's Funnies

I had to tell everyone some really funy things that Sophie said to her Grandma Patty. I hope I get the stories correct.
Sophie told Grandma that when she grows up she wants to be a dentist like Grandma. Grandma says, "well maybe we can work together"
Sophie says, "Grandma, you will be dead by then"
Poor Grandma

Then when it was almost Soph's birthday Grandma tells Sophie that she is ging to be so big, But Sophie tells Grandma "well Grandma I actually am not gonna be any bigger just older"

Sophie's 6th birthday and first day of kindergarden

















































































































































































Here are some pictures of Sophies Party. She obviously had it Tinkerbell.


















September
















This September brought a few fun things. Over Labor Day weekend we got to go back to White Sulphur and vist all our friends and enjoy the fun festivities of a small town. We got there just in time to go to the Demolition Derby. Our good friends Keri and Dave organized this event and it was great. It turned out to be a huge gathering. there were lots of people there. It was such great fun, the girls didn't know what to think of it but they had fun running into lots of old friends and playing with them. The folowing day we went to church and saw many frinds there as well. Then we went to the rodeo which was also packed. Marissa loved this with all the horses and cows. Our little pal Seth also rode a sheep and we all got a kick out of that, but he did great. We got to go watch some kello wrestling with a bunch of drunk annoying people and also to a street dance. You gotta love a town when they close off there main roads to have a dance. We realized how mucvh we missed it there and are now aching to be able to go back, someday, hopefully. If not there then some place similar. I really miss Keri and really want to be able to see her more often, I haven't had such a good friend in a long time and really miss the fun times that we had with her and her family. She has such great boys and my girls just love playing with them. I pray that I will be able to stay close to her, she has such a strong testimony and teaches me so many things.

The last few weeks

Well it is 2:30 in the morning and I am at work with nothing to do, so I thought I would try to do some catch up on here. So if this sounds funny, it is because I am soooo tired.
I started working a few weeks ago, I work in the pediatrics unit. I love it. I love the little people so much better than the big ones, sorry ya'all. They are so sweet and innocent. yes it is so hard to see them sick, but they need someone to care for them and love them, and i get to do that. It is so gratifying being able to help these little people. They are always willing to give a big smile and are for the most part happy. The hardest part is the poor parents, they are so worried and I don't blame them, I would be be and have been. So I feel blessed to have a job that is fun yet gratifying as well.
The girls have enjoyed having me gone. I am an on call worker, but had been covering for a lady on maternity leave. I was suppose to work four ten hour shifts a week. Nights. But luckily I got called off allot. So anyway the girls have been spending time with my Mom and Aunt Jana and have been loving it. Jana and Mom are great with keeping them entertained and doing fun little things with them.
I am so glad though that the maternity leave lady is back and that I only have to work one day a week. I have had to slack on some of my home duties and Brett has been so great at helping out at home with the kids and dinners.
Brett has been putting in so many hours at work. He is suppose to be working four tens also and has actually been putting in usually twelves. There are three providers at his clinic and one of them has been out sick alllllllot. SO he has all his schedules patients and then also all the walk in patients(from the walk in clinic) as well. Busy days with usually about 20 patients each day. He is sure missing White Sulphur now. They would never see that many, but he will really be bringing in some extra flow.
Anywho, Kaylie was baptised on the 2nd. It was such a wonderful, spiritual and emotional day. She was so pretty in white and so very excited. My Mom spoke on baptism and then she was baptised by Brett. She was so happy when she got out, with a huge smile on her face. Then her Aunt Marjie sang her a beautiful song and said some really sweet things to Kaylie and told her how much she loved her. Then Brett's mom spoke on the Holy Ghost. She and I had a really hard time holding the tears in. Brett then gave her the Holy Ghost and it was awesome. He had a hard time not crying as well and he gave her a wonderful blessing. I want to thank all of you who came, and all of you who have played important parts in her life. She is a happy, fun, sweet, smart and silly little girl. She has learned so much from so many people and I am grateful to you all for all your love, support and knowledge that you have shared with her as well as my other girls and me.

The Wreck
















So this is
what we came home to after camping this weekend. Drunk driver swirving all over the road chose our vehicles to hit. The truck hit the boat and the boat hit the neighbors truck. He was an illegal immigrant who probably has no insurance. We wont find out for a week, but I can pretty much guarantee that he doesm't, he just gets a slap and the wrist and a free ride back to Mexico. And we get some wrecked vehicles that we get to pay for. What a justice system huh?
