This month was the start of Jr. Jazz for Jaron. He loves sports and loves learning the skills
to play them. He takes it very seriously
and goes outside to practice his shot sometimes.
We had SEP’s with the boys’ teachers and they are both doing
really great. Bryson is very creative
and artistic, while Jaron is more into the social studies and math. But they both are where they should be for
all subjects. I didn’t feel that they
were doing enough writing. Bryson is
just starting to write sentences in class.
So we have started journal prompts at home. Bryson really likes it and is quickly
progressing in his writing skills.
I started doing “school” three days a week with all the kids
that are here in the morning. If I have
a set aside time for learning then I am more likely to do it. So we have snack at 10 then do learning. This is mainly for Eldon and he is doing
well.
The highlight of Bryson’s month was being the Ute’s honorary
ball boy. What an opportunity that was
for him . . . and Don. We went to
Training Table before the game because Aunt Cathy always did that with
Don. The boys really loved it. Bryson was so nervous to go down on the floor
but he warmed up to the idea after a while and did a great job. I would also like to report at the game Jaron
met Swoop and is now saying he is a Ute fan not a BYU fan.
A few months back when my brother Scott was here the boys
asked him to take them ice fishing.
Scott said that he would when the weather was right. We finally were able to find a day that Uncle
Scott could take them ice fishing. Don had to work so the boys and I went
fishing. Jaron was the first catch of the day.
After about an hour the kids lost interest in the fishing. Eldon would come back after his breaks to
help us watch the poles. We would have
lost a pole if Eldon hadn’t told us we had a bite. The boys loved playing on
the ice and climbing the mountain just off shore. They also enjoyed watching the fish “dance”
on the ice. We got a lot of laughs from the dancing fish. None of the boys
would ever touch the fish.. Scott cut up
the fish and gave them to us, but I had my fist experience cutting the bones
from the fish and skinning them, with no one here to help. I finally called Tyson to come up and show me
how to do it. I think next time I will
be better at it.
We also had fun being a part of Carlie getting her call and
going to the Zoo one last time before passes expire.
The 27th Eldon had an appointment with the
urologist. Eldon’s opening of his
pee-pee is a little small and needed to be cut open a little. With Jaron we had
to go to the hospital and put him to sleep to do the procedure. But the physician’s assistant said that it
was a simple procedure and they do it in office. 1 in 10 patients feel the procedure after numbing. Eldon happened to be one of these. It was so sad and I wasn’t really informed
that he would be in that much pain before they started. They told me when they
cut him and he screamed that the numbing stuff doesn’t always work. Awesome!
So we have a very brave little boy in our house and caring for it is not
lots of fun for Eldon either.
We are doing the repairs on the home this month and are
still waiting to hear that they are completed. We have had some interested
buyers but no contracts.
Don learned that it takes about 6 interviews before you get
hired so we have started applying for jobs.
We will let you know if he gets an interview to any of them.
Baby girl is still growing strong. I am tired but no other complaints. My body is strong but I think this mornings
run will be my last. The weight of baby
is getting to be too much on my ligaments.
