2008 Beginning of Fall News

Lots of things have gone on since I last sat down to blog. I am back in school and Tim has left Ontario and on to his next job in Salmon. All the kids are doing well. Hendrix is almost 6 months old now. Wowzer!! Woody went from Idaho Falls to University of Utah to South Davis in Bountiful Utah to the Elks Rehabilitation in Boise and TODAY HE IS COMING HOME. He still has some battles to conquer. He can't put much pressure on one leg and he is blind in his right eye. He is starting to get some tingeling on the right side of his face so maybe the nerve cells are starting to heal. It is an absolute miracle he lived through the accident. He has a wonderful attitude so far and is VERY excited to get home to all his girls.
Raul and Audra are back hard at it with the University of CA at Long Beach and the Girlscouts.
Neeka and Brian are both working hard trying to make ends meet now that they have an extra mouth to feed. (He is soooooooo cute!!)
All is well with all of us and fall is in the air.

Boys of Summer

I haven't been very good at posting lately, lots of things going on. This has been a crazy summer and lots of activity going on with mostly our BOYS. Our first human grandson was born in April and I got to come up to Kuna and spend the summer watching him grow up. (Literely) He is an amazing creature! WoW!! Timmy (husband) put in an underground sprinkler system so we could be gone this summer and not burn our grass up, he did a great job and it has worked fantasticly!! Our son Raul has had an incredibly track season with University of California, Long Beach. He has done amazing things with his program and athelets. He is a very talented man. He also surprized us with an unexpected visit a couple weeks ago for a cousins wedding. He got to meet Hendrix, (our human grandson) so he is officially UNCLE RAUL now. He and Audra (our A of Arizona) are coming with Sugar and Wilson (our dog grandson and daughter) on Thursday and we can't wait to see them all. We haven't gotten to see Audra and the pups since Christmas!! It is Audra, Neeka, and Timmys birthdays this month so we all get to celebrate together and I am SOOOO HAPPY!!!! We had a not so happy occurance in June when our second son (and brother) had a horrible motorcycle accident. He is still recouperating in Utah, we pray and think of him everyday and hope he will be home by the end of the summer.

Not much vacation left

It is already July 15th and I will be back to work Aug. 20th. Crap!!!!! Summer has gone pretty fast. I just got a text from Michelle and she said that the doctors have decited to air lift Jamie to Salt Every Lake to do his face sugery there. Don't know when yet but it will probably be soon. What ever is best for him is ok with all of us, as long as things will begin to accelerate. Seems like things have been at a stand still for a while. I will have to be at work the week after Raul and Audra and the boys come. That makes me sad because my time with them will be quite limited. They have tons of people to see and a wedding to go to so for them it should be fun.
Our little Hendrix is not so little anymore and I will hate not being there to watch him grow day by day. He has CHANGED DRASTICLY in the last three and a-half months!! He is alot of fun! Tim will be in Ontario longer than he thought so that at least is a good thing. I get to have him close by for a bit longer.

News on Woody (Olivia Isabell Woodland)

Michelle called us today and said that they are thinking about moving Jamie to Salt Lake City to do facial reconstrutive sugery. This is all the sugeries that he will need after his motor cycle accident on May, 22 of this year. It is amazing that only his face is what needs tended to! We are still praying for him and Jennifer and their girls. And of course my great friend Michelle who is also just like another mom to my own kids. We love this family soooo much.

Michelle

This is my friend Michelle. We have been friends since high school. MANY, MANY great funny times spend with her. She probably knows me better then anyone else on the face of the planet. HONESTLY. We also come to each others rescue whenever needed. Michelle is Jamie (Woody) mom. I love this lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
