Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”











This year at the Halloween carnival for our community, a few good friends in the ward and I made our own costumes. We bought matching shirts and long tank tops to go underneath that made our shirts longer due to a pregnant friend. We made our own "twilight shirts".




For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Twilight book series, it seems to have taken the world by storm and the movie will be out at the end of this month and I am so excited. I need to thank my neice Chantell who introduced this wonderful book to me about three years ago at Thanksgiving in Pocatello. Now Romeo and Juliet don't hold a candle to this love story...




So, back to the shirts. We all wore the same emblem on the front of our shirts and then we each picked different quotes to go on the back. It was super fun to be dressed up as a grown-up and we got a lot of comments. Good friends are hard to find and ones that will look like a nerd right along with you are even harder to find. So, thank you Jenny, Destiny, Becky, and Lydia for being great friends.

I want to be just like Uncle Ryan...

Lund looking like his Uncle...Elder Wiemer had a fall on his bike
Uncle Ryan Wiemer at his first family baptism....




Lund decided this week that he wants to look just like Uncle Ryan who is on his mission in Washington D.C. He said that he wants to start with his hair and so everyday this week before school he had me do his hair just like his Uncle Ryan. And let me say my brother is a good guy to model your life after. I am sending pictures of both my son Lund Ryan and his Uncle, my brother Ryan...

Bulemic blogger strikes again....

This week has been insanely busy for me as I am sure it has been for all of you out there. I have been taking pictures along the way though and now I am determined to sit here and catch you up on our life...

The Bulemic Blogger...











I have decided to refer to myself from this day forward as the "bulemic blogger" because I seem to binge (write a lot of blogs) and then purge (write nothing for a long period of time)... I hear they have places I can go to overcome said illness. I will have to look into it. In the meantime, here I go binging again...




Last week when we went down to the "Valley", we had a little bit of time to kill before we dropped Morgan off at his training in Phoenix. We decided to visit the "Redneck Disneyland" or in other words, Cabella's. My kids love this store because the animals are so life-like and right there for you to see!

Is this Legal????!!!



Last week when we were driving down to Gilbert to visit my family and get Morgan to work training in Phoenix, we passed this great scene in Phoenix and all we could think of was "Is that legal?????!!!" so here are the pictures to prove it.... a dead horse in the back of a trailer just there for the whole world to see and it would jiggle as it flew down the freeway... And yes, we are sure that is was dead, not sleeping!!!

Getting to see cousins...



We took a trip down to Gilbert on Monday and Tuesday and the kids loved getting to see Grandma and Grandpa, Aunts and Uncles and cousins.... We captured a few moments in pictures... My mom bought the matching halloween shirts for all the grandkids and that was fun...

Here are the boy grandkids, Cooper and Lund up top, Kade in the headlock, Brody and Will



Here are the girls, Candin, Sarah, and Cassidy. (Kayla was out with friends)

I will post more pictures tomorrow, but my brain has shut off and already gone to bed, so I better follow.....

Who wants to "knows" about my nose??? Well too bad, 'cause here is goes!

Do you like my little ryhme?? If you don't like talking about sinus cavities, then this is not the post for you. For the rest of you weird "House" fans like me, here is the skinny.... or the down low, or whatever you cool teenagers say nowadays...
I have had a cold/infection for about six weeks now and it is getting very bothersome, or beyond bothersome actually. Finally, after two rounds of different antibiotics, I was back at the Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist for another follow-up... Well, I started in the regular chair in a room and they did the usual exam, like sticking their fingers down your throat and gagging you, etc. Then he was doing the exam of my nose (how pleasant) and he said, "hang on, we have a problem". I asked him if he found the button I stuffed up there when I was six-years-old and I guess it wasn't that. They shot this stuff up my nose that numbed my whole nose and throat and soon we were in a different room with a lot of helpers and a camera that they decided to stuff up my nose, way up there, like behind my eyes. They are talking and looking at the screen and agreeing to what they are seeing and I am not seeing anything but tears clouding my vision 'cause they have a camera on a bendy stick stuffed way up my nose. It turns out I have tumors in my sinuses, they are called polyps and they can't figure out how far in my head they go, so I have to get a CT scan on Monday in Kingman and I am a bit nervous!
Good news: polyps aren't canerous!
Bad news: I have to get surgery and not a very fun one!
Good news: Maybe this will stop what is going on with my sinuses...
Bad news: This will probably recur the rest of my life and I will have to go to the office frequently to get my sinues scraped, like the bones in my head are going to get scraped with some sort of instrument.
Good news: It could be worse.... ?
