Piggy Piggy

We think we are a family of swine fluers! (is there such a thing?) I declined the test because the doctor said it wouldn't change the way they treated the children. Zach and I have escaped (thus far--fingers crossed).

Zach's weekend view of Swine flu:
Going to the football game--taking dinner half made for Shields family
Leaving the football game early--kindly attending to feverish children
Enduring a football loss--pain was greater than any flu symptoms
One hour of church--we have a lot of this in our area lately
Creating a home church meeting--complete with kids giving talks and music
Liz's weekend view of Swine flu:
Brain melts after watching Barbie Movies -- the first 3 were fun :(
Cabin Fever is so great--talk to the Fed-Ex guy like he is family
Want to go to the football game--babysitters don't like kids with fevers
Relief with a drive to Wyoming to pick up my Dad--the sky and sunset were Perfect
Happy Zach is so kind and tender to all of us cooped up nuts!!!

These two images give me comfort when thinking about mom!

Lon is a Hero!!!

Thanks Lon ! You ROCK! Grandpa had a great time!!!

Sister Reunion

Grandma Memories

Here is another memory from Kallee---Anyone else want to share one (I'd like to compile a book for grandpa!!!)
Grandma was an answear to a Prayer!
My first year attending Western I had an experience where a person said som things to me that hurt my feelings to my face. Well, I was so in shock that I couldn't leave the room. I asked Heavenly Father to help me leave the room. At that moment Grandma called. She did the usual "Hi, how are things" with a happy giggle. She then continued by telling me how beautiful and talented she thought I was and how she was so proud of me and that any boy would be lucky to have me. She answered my prayer and I left that room without even regretting it or giving that person a second thought!

Thanks Kallee!

Grandma's Phone Calls
My favorite memory of Grandma is, and always will be her random phone calls. They could occur at any time of day on any day of the week. It was always just a quick hello, how are you, I love you, goodbye. It was always something to brighten my day. It always came at times I needed it most and could bring a smile to may face. She never let me forget how much she loved me or how much the Lord loved me. The best grandma anyone could ask for!


Great Kelsey!!!

Grandma, the library, and a bus
When we went to Laramie, there was always constant trips to the store, museum's of some sort and the library. My favorite trips where to the library when I got to listen to Grandma read for reading time. One particular day she was reading a book that had to do with a bus. I had recently learned this as a song in my kindergarten class, so I was excited. You know the that goes "the wheels on the bus go round and round" (I don't think Grandma knew it was a song or she would have sung it). As she read this picture book, she was completely animated and boisterous. What I remember so lovingly was that every child in that room was just as excited and laughed just as much as I did. That memory has always affirmed the fact that she brought happiness to everyone through her talents and love.

Thanks Kallee--beautiful!!
