He is Valedictorian and we are very proud of him. He did a great job on his speech, receiving only a small amount of help and guidance in writing it. Here is a viewing of both his and his buddy's speech. <br />
<br />
If Chad's copy of the speech is better than what I got, I will post that one as well!<br />

These pictures were taken on Monday when I removed the bandage for the first time. He wasn't giggling as I took the bandage off, but was very happy it was finally gone!</span></td></tr>

When I started it, there was a horrible sound and I had to shut it off. I was heart sick as I knew, from the sound, there had been a cat in the engine. I got out and couldn't find the cat (I knew from a head count, that it was Jesse's cat, Gracie, that was missing-we have six-one for each of the kids and two older cats). No body, no blood, just a fan belt that was ripped to shreds. <br /><br />I called around and found someone who could pick the kids up and bring them to the top of our road. I planned to walk the mile up and back to get them home safely, but Chad was available to get them from the top down. So, when they got home, they went looking for their cats, as they usually do. Thank goodness! Jesse found Gracie. She had been hiding under the porch.<br /><br />She managed not only to escape with her life, but the fan didn't even break the skin. It just shaved a line across her back. Jesse brought her to me wondering why all her fur was falling out! I was just so glad that she was alive, I didn't care that her fur was falling out. Here are some pictures of one of the luckiest cats around. I call her lucky because just about a month and a half ago, Eva's cat, Tigrera, was in the engine of Chad's truck and had half of her tail cut off! It could have been so much worse.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWl0pbVD0TJLNbuElNgpHh-gyCz_1l8CgwIuZyatHpslx7Bi9nCtVDRXDqyhHnVYfh_YOzsiA3Qdj-n8lvF4DmoDdaccLerA4miPS5fDqBa8wkge28XgzvOJLk-IHTfH6udjoy2P-LSotp/s1600/IMG_1216.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWl0pbVD0TJLNbuElNgpHh-gyCz_1l8CgwIuZyatHpslx7Bi9nCtVDRXDqyhHnVYfh_YOzsiA3Qdj-n8lvF4DmoDdaccLerA4miPS5fDqBa8wkge28XgzvOJLk-IHTfH6udjoy2P-LSotp/s400/IMG_1216.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512040514422019794" border="0" /></a><br />It is cute, the kids pray almost every day that their cats will be safe. It seems almost silly sometimes, but I know that Heavenly Father watches out for the little pets of his children at times. I know how devastated Jesse would have been had his cat been killed in that incident. We do all we can to keep them away from the cars, but that seems to have been a favorite hang out for them. I think we can safely say that none of our cats will spend their time in the engines of the cars now!! Too bad it took a few accidents for them to learn.<br /><br />I'm so glad the kids have these pets. They love them so much!<br /><br />So Chad went about fixing the fan belt that night only to get it on and find it was the wrong size. He returned to town and procured the correct size, put it on and in the process of tightening the tension adjuster, broke that! So, it was another day without the car. He got the part and had the car fixed by time to get the kids on Tuesday afternoon. So, working on the car is a scary thought for me. See how easily someone who knows more than I do can break a very expensive part($50)? <br /><br />On to other topics....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRgJtVvO4EcSrWMVvnJJXghxLboVLSWmbYVKMdSaCiqANPwaDbohw0h8MXvYtvAkVj6JrqpIJD6icVQmh36XY759cV7HbvH5rjr94zRjXyITK3BzY6CkdIshTs7qwJB0cpHRD1IoPnAEc/s1600/IMG_1213.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 154px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRgJtVvO4EcSrWMVvnJJXghxLboVLSWmbYVKMdSaCiqANPwaDbohw0h8MXvYtvAkVj6JrqpIJD6icVQmh36XY759cV7HbvH5rjr94zRjXyITK3BzY6CkdIshTs7qwJB0cpHRD1IoPnAEc/s400/IMG_1213.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512040497445132370" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My visiting teachers and I were visiting today about the lesson on nurturing the rising generation and they mentioned that my children all seem to know who they are and are not concerned about what others think. Here is an example:<br /><br />This morning, Eva came and said she wanted to dress like a cowgirl today. I helped her find a shirt in Saul's closet that was cowgirl-ish and she donned her boots and completed the outfit with a bandana tied about her neck. I thought she was just adorable and I know she doesn't care what other kids think so it was a great outfit.Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18089229372031488765noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550643927755819809.post-73379834994682975752010-09-01T14:50:00.003-05:002010-09-01T14:59:11.254-05:00Working on the car is scary for me!!I had better get this down before the excitement wears off. The front turn lamp in the van went out the other day. I looked at the manual to see how easy it was to change and what number bulb I would need to replace it.<br /><br /> Well, I got the bulb today (the reason will follow in the next blog). The instructions indicate that I must remove the headlight assembly. Now, on our van, that is a rather large-ish piece on the front/side of the car. So, I attempted to remove this assembly twice before I had the courage to just pull the thing out; all the while I was checking my watch, gauging the time, to see if I would have enough time to duct tape it to the vehicle in the event that I broke the thing off......<br /><br />It went more smoothly than I imagined it going. I was able to get it all off and dig down to the lower light and change the bulb. Wouldn't you know it, I even purchased the correct bulb! <br /><br />I am so proud of myself! Fixing the car isn't my thing and I am always afraid that I will break it beyond my own repair abilities, or Chad's, and have to humbly take it to a mechanic. <br /><br />I'm pretty proud that I did it without breaking anything.<br />Next time, why it was that I couldn't drive my car yesterday to go and purchase a new bulb....Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18089229372031488765noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550643927755819809.post-37297957892481155352010-08-19T14:36:00.003-05:002010-08-19T14:38:14.077-05:00Sorry for the jumble of pictures just below!

She <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">acquired</span> these cute glasses in St. Louis on our trip there early in the month. She is really growing up fast.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Ah, the boys, THEY ate more than they picked and then ate most of what I had picked on the way home. They both had a great time.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The diva again. She will be eight this year and got her own set of scriptures, including a carrying case and a small hymnal. They all love to sing and follow along in their own hymn book.<br />She was also showing off her new church sandals. Very cool!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The zoo picture. This was the second trip to the zoo for the kids. The first time, they didn't get there early enough to go and do the free things, like petting the sting rays. For some reason, it is a real thrill for them. It is somewhat lost on me, but, sea creatures don't hold my interest very much.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And here they are trying their hands at petting the slimy little things. They all were able to touch one at least once so the extra trip to the zoo was a success!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Oh boy, and how they do grow. I think the stair step pictures are so fun and really show their growth spurts. I try to get one every six months or so. I sure do love these kids. They bring us a great amount of joy.Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18089229372031488765noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550643927755819809.post-62195034143254532052010-07-28T19:42:00.003-05:002010-07-28T19:50:59.524-05:00#4 turns 5<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFseb-VWO_ki4_FvyWHCDGkqj2QkTZgi83anXkEU7_OLjYujwISlz-cYkF0QC4o8GwUX2gOSBv3k_-qeS5Z8pssZM26V41OCuDPmSfzY9zNLDO9Co1tsI79VR5fyz-67CA-behmY7l-LoE/s1600/IMG_1179.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFseb-VWO_ki4_FvyWHCDGkqj2QkTZgi83anXkEU7_OLjYujwISlz-cYkF0QC4o8GwUX2gOSBv3k_-qeS5Z8pssZM26V41OCuDPmSfzY9zNLDO9Co1tsI79VR5fyz-67CA-behmY7l-LoE/s400/IMG_1179.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499123439569089874" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqmupiRiAUqI7adCCV5G8IiRLBDXwNqYb1zTh6BoGbpSK-lohizVvxv5H5q6-76o45KG-tXO8SU-avLwQMaMCwqXONj4fp75vlKW5svUURBICCGR3pfOp3ejpiK4f9RvuK1htheF9yDc0l/s1600/IMG_1170.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqmupiRiAUqI7adCCV5G8IiRLBDXwNqYb1zTh6BoGbpSK-lohizVvxv5H5q6-76o45KG-tXO8SU-avLwQMaMCwqXONj4fp75vlKW5svUURBICCGR3pfOp3ejpiK4f9RvuK1htheF9yDc0l/s400/IMG_1170.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499123432081842242" border="0" /></a>#4 had a great birthday.

It seems that my life is just so uninteresting that it isn't worth writing about, so I don't do it. It's weird, others lives are very similar to mine and I thoroughly enjoy reading about what they are doing.......so I will write about what I and my family are up to now.<br /><br />In January, we had a lot of snow here are some fun pictures of what we had. We had to borrow a car from friends to get in and out of our place, that jeep parked under the carport is our loaner. the next one is by the creek.

He enjoys the work and keeps really busy. I am still plugging along, taking one class at a time, working on finishing my degree. Once #4 starts Kindergarten in the fall, I will be taking more classes at a time. I'm enjoying my history class, the learning part, not the mini papers I write with just about every lesson! I love to read so this class has been fun. I help Chad with jobs sometimes and that is a lot of fun. #4 just accompanies us but we still get a lot done!<br /><br />The kids are all growing fast. They spend a lot of time outside when they are home. They love the creek and the option of exploring the woods. #3 has made a little habit of helping her Grandpa with the goats almost every afternoon. She loves spending time outside regardless of the activity.<br /><br />The kids a great time with cousins this Easter holiday. We did an Easter Egg hunt in the big field between Conference Sessions. They also were given kites to fly and that was a lot of fun as well. We spent a lot of time this spring flying kites in the field.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-7G7jVQi6uGFeF392x0VQ1xnyEuzgkjVyfXmZVHQ6WCll5CQt8mPBtNgZiVUKH3bCLKH0wPsYnP8w-PiCG1TsOjHjVfHdlesc9gJAunSqcJK43oHO8qJJgnbIx11QEffLNMQWVdoma1HQ/s1600/IMG_1069.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-7G7jVQi6uGFeF392x0VQ1xnyEuzgkjVyfXmZVHQ6WCll5CQt8mPBtNgZiVUKH3bCLKH0wPsYnP8w-PiCG1TsOjHjVfHdlesc9gJAunSqcJK43oHO8qJJgnbIx11QEffLNMQWVdoma1HQ/s400/IMG_1069.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463332323355523842" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODtp_jwY4JVAIR7gOjNRzHlxsfCdKkmwC-FzEjfk4Xj-HPoytaMwkKm3RILUWVdWu_gxPqgTmV-QzsGoJVPgQka-wPGOJfKi9y2bZVhb_rKDJxOoMCeASEcVj7sGydv3ThIJSi5aQ9Ft4/s1600/IMG_1072.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODtp_jwY4JVAIR7gOjNRzHlxsfCdKkmwC-FzEjfk4Xj-HPoytaMwkKm3RILUWVdWu_gxPqgTmV-QzsGoJVPgQka-wPGOJfKi9y2bZVhb_rKDJxOoMCeASEcVj7sGydv3ThIJSi5aQ9Ft4/s400/IMG_1072.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463332331695276418" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Last Saturday, we had a fun event happen.

It was fun for the kids to watch the births and be able to take care of their Momma cat and now the kittens.

I checked out a few furniture places and was now willing to pay their prices for the quality they offered. So, I went to a thrift store and found this gem. $40!! solid wood and in really great condition. Furniture stores were asking things like $170 for little more than cardboard. I am so impressed with myself! #2 really loves having his own dresser and it finally feels like we fit properly in this house now.

I have recently started a class and am working most of the time. I enjoy what I do and hope to be able to get all my classes done in a reasonable time frame. The work I do is with Chad. He has had me doing painting and general cleaning up, you know, peon type of work! But is nice to work with him throughout the day. <br />The kids are all doing well in school and we are happy.Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18089229372031488765noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550643927755819809.post-58405476951208650182009-09-13T15:24:00.003-05:002009-09-13T15:45:59.027-05:00Month of August 2009<div style="text-align: center;">So, August 22, is our anniversary. About 5 pm, Jesse comes in the house, not even really crying. He says his neck hurts. I finally think to take off his shirt. There on his collar bone, I see the problem. I wasn't sure how bad it was but I knew it needed medical attention. So, off we went to the hospital. We went to a small hospital and were there a grand total of 1 hour. I was very thankful for that! He had fractured his right clavical. He was put in an immobilizer and sent home. He sure look pathetic here!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCZKrEViw3M4Uu_FznQjL34WWPYaMjmrYO-FFx998kjCdtu4HCFg1iemJ-jKhWsMhJ7wEntFdnQGxXWHPAntZk02EfzIT6g8vL4qMIcQSGNLlrZkcG2_BvsHGrMX98zD3xSEOUQezHdQ6I/s1600-h/IMG_0891.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCZKrEViw3M4Uu_FznQjL34WWPYaMjmrYO-FFx998kjCdtu4HCFg1iemJ-jKhWsMhJ7wEntFdnQGxXWHPAntZk02EfzIT6g8vL4qMIcQSGNLlrZkcG2_BvsHGrMX98zD3xSEOUQezHdQ6I/s400/IMG_0891.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381054332174051938" border="0" /></a><br />And here.
