Pres. Hinkley

"After President Hinckley finished with the sustaining of the officers of the church during the Saturday morning session, Elder Eyring had moved to his new seat on the stand. Unfortunately, they didn't show this on TV, but when President Hinckley turned around, he stood there for a moment looking at Elder Eyring, then picked up his cane and "knighted" him on his shoulder and head. Truly one of the funniest things I've ever seen him do. I love how President Eyring looks just like a little boy..."

I absolutely love President Hinkleys sense of humor. Here he is knighting Elder Eyring. He has such a wonderful sense of humor. We all need to take a step back and learn from this wonderful President and become more like him. I am sure Jesus and our Father in Heaven have a sense of humor just like this.

Bob's new car vs my new car

Not my new car anymore. I turned it back in. It wasn't visible at night and not until I had it detailed but it had a very bad acid rain or something on the paint. Soooooo I am getting a new one in a couple of weeks. It is still on the ship. It will be white. Cooler in the summer here. I haven't had a white car in a long time. It will be different. I won't feel the need to put flags on it. haha

I don't know which car fits the best but I do know I won't be driving anywhere with Bob in the red car. It may be safer though. hahaha. It would be nice to have the police on our side. haha

My car is a little more comfortable than his and all 4 wheels touch the ground. Bob seems to like the red one better he is smiling more.

babbling

Yes, it takes me forever to decide to go to a Dr. let alone get something done. I have to really be in pain. I mean so bad that I can't function, so bad I want to die. Then I go and get something done about it. I was suppose to have my gall bladder out long before I did. It started bothering me when I was pregnant with Timmy. I got it out what 2 years ago. So Sunday we were, a couple of friends and I, talking about a lift here and there. It may take me a few years to do that. I don't know I have to lose all the weight first. Then I will think about it. lol Right. I will be dead by then. I am just glad I am not one of those pregnant people. I am glad those days are forever gone. yahoo! I like grandkids. I like sleep! I like freedom! I liked kids in my day but I am toooooooo oooooolllllllldddddd now. I need a cane. haha. I look back and sometimes wonder how did I do that. Sarah Barlow thinks she has laundry. I will trade her laundry any day. Come to my house on Tuesday after the housekeepers have been here. ha! I love Tuesday. My house is sooooo clean. Love it! and I didn't have to do it. We eat out on Tuesday because I don't want to dirty the kitchen. I like 1 day with it clean. I am just babbling. It feels good. I cleaned the fat clothes out of my closet. I never want to see them again. I hope to purge again soon. yahoo.
It was Trenton's birthday the other night. He was so cute. He loved getting all those cars gifts. He has such cute expressions. He doesn't talk much but he sure lets you know what he wants. What a cutie. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRENTON

Well, I have lost a total of 36 pounds since July 9th. I have been going through my closet for the last couple of days and getting rid of clothes. Joe even went through and got rid of some amazing. I try them on and toss them out. Don't get me wrong. I have all sizes in there somewhere. I am getting rid of the larger sizes never to be seen again. I was looking t a picture of me that Sarah took and I think maybe I am going to need a plastic surgeon. A face lift---well, maybe I should get everything lifted and tucked. I don't know if I could do that. It is to scary for me. There must be a different way. There are a few members of Joe's family that are getting larger breasts. I have a few images that come into my mind one is what will be left in the coffin. Say they have to open it. All that will be left is bones and two silicone filled balloons. lol I was e-mailed a picture on the Internet of a old lady in a thong on the beach. It was so disgusting. She had implants. Everything was wrinkled except her boobs. yuck! She was very thin also. Why do I get these images in my mind? I guess because it is late. I need to have something for Sarah B to read. I don't want to disappoint her.
Silverado played Coronado in volleyball the other day. They are a very rude school. I didn't enjoy playing there. Varsity won. I am glad. Our B team lost. I think their team was full of Jr's and ours are freshmen. Christina is having fun. We go out back and play with her and help her almost every evening. It is fun. I taught myself how to serve overhand. yeah. Bobby is pretty good. He should have played but he said it was not for him. haha.
Trenton is 2 tomorrow. He is so cute. He still doesn't say much but he knows what he wants and so do you.
We fired and hired two new girls at the office. The one I hired (Nadia) and she is cathcing on real quick. I really like her. The other is the one Joe hired and Nadia has to show her things. Joe had high hopes for Sally but she isn't what he thought she was. He knows her husband. This could be touchy.
Time for bed.

great night

Today Bobby is 17. We got the family together and went to Boca de bepo. It is my parents 55th aniversary also. Sarah worked very hard and very fast for a week and put together a video with music of their pictures in their photo album. They had no idea. After dinner we brought them back to my house and sat them in front of the TV. And turned it on. Their faces were priceless. They said it was worth a million. It was their kind of music. It was really great. I tried to get the pictures in order as much as I could. I goofed on one or two. I just can't describe how wonderful it was. Sarah was the champ. She is so good at doing the videos. She is a wonderful daughter. I have great children each and every one of them. No one has better. They all have their own great talents. I love them each equally. I love them each for who they are. It hurts me when one thinks I love the other more. It is so untrue and they will find it out when they are a parent. I love you all my children. Mom

Tuesday night

Tuesday night I was sitting at the kitchen table checking payroll so I wouldn't get to behind at my office the next day. It was about 1 am. Joe came out and said he felt weird. He said he felt like he did one day when he was in Panaca. He kept pacing and dilly dallying around. He wouldn't sit, he wouldn't do anything. I watched him. Finally he said we need to go to emergency. He usually has heart palpatations. It runs in his family. He said this time his heart seemed to beat to slow. He was dizzy and couldn't breath. So we sat in the ER with his hooked up for a couple hours. They did a ekg, bloodwork, x-ray etc... Then he said you have enough tests and I have been here long enough unhooked himself and said give me the papers to go. We went home. He said he would go to the cardiologist tomorrow. Then next day he didn't feel good. I made him an appointment. They seem to think nothing is wrong. They will do a stress test on him on the 26th. We will see then. I think he is stressed from building the building. We didn't get any sleep that night.

hum haw

Tim is so excited about his mission. He bought a program to learn how to speak Portugese. He works every day on it. He wants to be one step ahead. What a great kid I have. He still reads his scriptures etc... I don't know what to teach him to cook because I don't know what they cook there. lol. I will have to get on missionary moms and find out.

Christina is loving playing volleyball. Her dad is helping her inprove her skills. Everyday they go in the volleyball court and hit balls. She really loves High School. She is also in the choir.

Chris is excited to come home. His only concern is his parents are starting to make demands on him and he wants to be with us. I am trying to encourage him to do what is right and what is in his heart. He has been done wrong in many ways by them but he needs to remember they love him. They are in no means perfect, no one is. He loves his mission. I can't wait to see him and have his humor around again. I really miss him. I will also miss Tim. I love to miss my children when they are on missions. It is so much fun. I love to hear their stories. I love to see their growth.
