Speech Class

This semester I am taking Speech and Microbiology. I thought yeah speech will be easy that would be a good one to take with Micro. Well my Speech teacher is a little bit of a crazy women. She is 97 years old and mean. She mumbles a lot which makes it hard to understand her. But so far I like the class. One of my speeches I had to give with a visual aid. I decided to do it on inexpensive dates. I made little signs of date ideas and as i talked about them I put it on the board(visual aid check). One of the coolest cheap dates that I talked about was glow in the dark skipping rocks. What you do is take a glow stick and open it up and dump it into a bag. Then find some skipping rocks and throw those into the bag. After they are covered pull them out and skip away. It is really cool to watch them skip across the water and glow.

We decided to try this with Jayde, Wil, and the boys. We forgot the knife to open the glow sticks so we twisted them til they broke. It was hard to do but we finally got some rocks to glow and it was neat to watch. Justin was a little freaked out because it was night and he thought we were going to get into trouble for being down at the river at that time, or maybe a mountain lion would attack us. His imagination goes wild, and he couldn't relax. We ended up cutting it short but we still had a wonderful time.

I suggest getting the glow sticks ready before you go and making sure that you go when you can see them glow. I forgot my camera and I tried to take pictures with my phone but they didnt turn out so well. Maybe next time.

Robert

Roberts face decided to swell up while i was in school. It took two hours for his face to look like this. It is hard to see but his left side is really swollen.

He was quite upset that we had to come to the ER but he was having a hard time swallowing so we had to go in.

They put him on IV anitibiotics that took forever. We had to call Aunt Launa to explain the IV process because he was freaking out. She was great and helped him relax. He didn't cry until the nurse tripped on the IV pole and almost yanked the IV out. (I would of cried too)

They thought it was his tooth so they sent us home after two rounds of antibiotics and told us to follow up with the Dentist. Abscesses are no fun he says. This is his worst day ever. I just had to laugh inside but cuddle with him and assure him he would be fine.

More Teeth

We are losing teeth left and right in the house. Jacobs decided to fall out while he was talking at church.

He walked by me and handed it to me then smiled big.

Teeth

This little partial tooth is stuck between his two permanent teeth. And he was complaining and complaining. So I asked my dentist to see him and she was gracious enough to do it.

Feeling a little nervous, he has had not so good experiences with the Dentist.

Passing the time while the numbing takes place.

The dentist decided to give him nitrous to help keep him calm. It helped a little. He said he is glad its over and the tooth is out. Now the back molar has been keeping him up so if his dentist can't get him in then off we go to mine again.

Savior of the World

Roy played Joshua in the Stake youth play about the life of the Savior. He worked hard for three months and one very long week of performances. It was great how the youth brought the spirit to share the life of Christ with members, converts, investigators, and just viewers. I am so very proud of him and his hard work.

Fun family time

We got a firepit for Christmas and we love it. It was a nice evening so PJ made a fire and we sat around and cooked hotdogs and just enjoyed each others company it was nice.

 

Jacob was our entertainment for the night. He has to dress up as George Washington for school so he was trying out his wig.

We have such a fun set of boys. They make us laugh and keep us on our toes. 

Hair cut time

I get a call saying come check out my hair cut. Rob couldn't stop laughing. He kept saying no way, no way.

So dad went back to work.

End result is rob thinks that it's too short. I like it.
