Grandpa's Birthday
We had such a great time yesterday. We spent the day with Kirt's family. Donnie's 69 birthday. I enjoyed so much visiting with him. Everytime I go I learn from him. Donnie has been suffereing cancer for 3 years and he does suffer with an amazing attitude. He is so grateful and loves everyone around him. Last visit I had a feeling to ask him about his life. He was fun to listen to about how he loves dogs, his favorite color is either green or blue. He said the thing he misses the most is fishing with his grandkids. He LOVED his job, and couldn't tell me how many houses he built. I am sure he could drive me around the cache valley and show me every house he built or remodeled. Let alone the hand that he had in our own home here in Wy. Donnie has many friends and loves to go to Angie's for his daily visits with his friends and who ever else happens into Angie's for the morning. My own uncle has met him there many times. There were 60 people at his birthday party yesterday, which shows the effect he is having on the many lives around him. He has always given great service to those around him and even though not feeling the best is still serving and loving the people around him. There are many more things I could say about this man, but for today Happy Birthday Donnie and maybe next year we will 70 people at Golden Corral for your 70th birthday.

A NEW YEAR
I can't believe I let this sit for 1 year. I think I will try again. I haven't taken many pictures and so I will do a quick review for the year of 2010.
The 1st half of the year was great!!
1-working
2-HS Senior stuff, homecoming skit, planning graduation party
3-still writing to a missionary son
4-helping get sheep for 4-H
5-enjoying a grandson
About from graduation on is still in the questionable, challenging state:
1- May29 graduation morning, running around, doing laundry and fell on the bottom step, broke my leg. A Tibea Plateu Break to be exact. Go ahead cringe at the thought of that kind of break. Every dr. and every pysical therapist I told, did. I enjoyed graduation even if I was in a bit of shock( I recoginize that now) I had the softest seat in the house thanks to my sister-in -law being a teacher. She brought me her chair and I put my leg up and on the front row so the whole little town could see that I had injured myself AGAIN. Oh well!! The speaker was great.
Chad Hymas, he was in a wheelchair and since I was on his level , he talked to me alot. I enjoyed him.
2-Surgery with 2 screw put in my leg 1 week later, June 7th. I have a great dr. who got to add to my knee another scar. However since he cringed at this break, he had another team dr who helped him. He did a GREAT job and now I can put no weight bear for 12 weeks......LONG summer right. WRONG!!
3- First of July comes along I am healing and the Stake President calls. Wants to meet with us.
Kirt is called to be the Bishop and is sustained on July 11, 2010.
4-Start PT the end of August, and I don't finish until the 1st of Nov.
5- Got 3rd daughter to college, 2nd child returns from Brazil Mission, 1st daughter is expecting again our 2nd grandchild (due in June) and got through fair with 2 sheep!!
6- Still adjusting to a Bishop in the house, Hysterectomy for me on Dec. 7 finally decided to quit fighting it after 2 years, bit the bullet, plus insurance was already paid. Uggg....down again for a few more weeks.
7- 3rd daughter now home for her "summer" BYU-I has a great plan. 2nd started school today at BYU-I sending 4th to Washington DC soon, and 1st is still happy being a mom.
Life is an adventure.....I have learned to just take the challenges as they come. And not to get to worked up about them. Hopefully, I can keep up with my blog this year....it really is a great way to journal.
