Jeannie made it to the National Honor Soceity! Picture of her from the induction night.

Jady had two heavy nose bleeding episodes. I took the bag of disguisting bloody tissues to the Dr.and discussed with him how serious of her issue is. The pediatrican was convinced and ordered a lab test for her right away. The results came back last Thur that apparently my child has von Willebrand disease.... a common bleeding disorder. I am just grateful to the Lord that it's not Leukemia. Jady is scheduled to see a hematologist on Dec 5, and I pray that nothing is serious!

 Jady's birthday present to his dad!  :D

Raspberry chocolate cake I made for Johnny's birthday!

 Yet, another power outage after an unexpected snow storm.  Evan was determined to carve his pumkin in the dark.

What Have We Been Doing- Sept 2011?

Jeannie's friends and her homecoming pictures.

Sept :

Kids are back to school and the soccer season starts for both Jeannie and Evan.  Thank goodness we only have two playing this season, but I often wonder how in the world people have time running their kids around with games and activities.  I am happy that they both are done by last week, just can't wait to do something fun with the kids before the winter!

Johnny and I also tried to help with Jeannie's college application.  It's been a pain since she doesn't like the way we corrected her essays.  I finally realized that I am the least likable person to work with after many, many argument with my teenager, and I passed the ball the her dad.  It's not the most pleasant experience we had, but I am glad that it's over!  She finally submitted everything last Sunday and got the acceptance letter through email from BYU-Idaho yesterday! Yeah!!!  Something I did not realize until last night was that my motives and stress over her application actually stem from the fear of my child not being accepted by any church college, and how much I don't want her attending the local ones.  It was such a relief as I heard the good news.  Now, we are waiting to hear from BYU-Hawaii and BYU-Provo!
