I need your prayers...

Jason and I have hit a VERY large bump in the road, basically it's a granite mountain. I'm not so sure we're going to make it this time. Can my dear sweet friends pray for us? Can you go to the temple for us? (Jason hasn't been able to go since our marriage, and I have now lost my recommend) My faith is wavering and I can't do it on my own. I know the Lord has given us friends to be there when He can't be, and I probably need you more than I have ever needed friends in my life.

Thank you!

First weekend in June...

Kylie learned how to ride her bike without training wheels!!!!

Rhett and Anthony were working on their bikes (new innertubes, new brake cables, etc) and Rhett needed some bolts, so the felt he could use the ones that were holding Kylie's training wheels on, forcing Kylie to figure out how to ride without them. Jason worked with her for a few minutes, and she'd go several feet, but she is a hard one to deal with, and Jason doesn't have much patience with her, so she figured it out on her own, and now she's gone!!!!

Anthony had fun at Six Flags. He found out all his friends are adrenelin junkies, so he went on all most all the roller coasters, and I think after 14 1/2 years on this earth, he may finally be coming out of his "safety zone". He actually had fun. Anthony is a super caution, carefull child, which I guess is good, but he won't even climb trees...They didn't get back to Reno until after 10:00pm. He only spent money on food. Strange child...

Saturday, Jason and Rhett went on direction in the valley to baseball. Rhett went 2 for 3, but they ended up loosing 11-6. Baseball is over now until the fall... The rest of us went the other side of the valley to, where else, Wild Island. We had fun. Anthony and I played in the waves on the tube a ton, pushing each other off, trying to dunk each other, etc, and in the waves, and now I am so sore! Trying to stay afloat in the waves is a great work out.

Sunday, I managed to keep my usuall migraine away with a ton of drugs. I was in charge of sharing time, so I had to kill it. A boy in our Primary was baptized on Saturday. His family is Tongan and Hawaiian, and like half of the two islands were in Sacrament yesterday. Fast and testimony meeting wasn't fast, but it was soooo good and so full of the spirit, and that spirit carried over in to my sharing time for the junior primary. I did a "concentration" game with picutres representing baptism. I called children up who were being reverent to pick 2 pictures, and the first 2 pictures were not a match, but from the second kid on, they turned over every match. One of the teachers figured out the odds of getting a match to be like 1 in 135,135. And the last match they got, was the one that should be the last one, and it was just so awesome. I'm sure you really had to be there, but it was amazing and totally cool.

The weather is starting to cool down, which makes me sad, and it's looking to be ugliest on Wednesday, when I took the day off to attend Kylie's kindergarden graduation, and go to Wild Island as soon as the kids get out of school...it's the last day...oh, well, maybe I'll just stay home and take a nap...

Spud Bunny

I think I have failed to mention the new family member...Spud Bunny Woodward. He was the classroom pet in Rhett's class this year, but the teacher is going to a different school next year, and didn't want to take Spud, so we got him. At first I really didn't want another animal, I mean, after all, I already have 7...(husband, 3 kids, 3 dogs) and I was worried about Rhett having the responsibility, but I have to admit, I love the little guy already, and Rhett is doing a great job so far. The first several days he was very timid and didn't do much, but I think he is starting to settle in and his personality is coming out. He likes to tip his food bowl over, upside down, for whatever reason, and then he can't get to his food. I've seen him do it twice now, and it's pretty funny how he puts his front paws on the edge of the bowl and flips it over.

The first day we had him home last week, I gave him a small carrot, and he really had no idea what to do with it, but we persisted, and now he loves them, he eats them up quickly and quite loudly.

We waited a few days to introduce the dogs and Spud. The 2 chocolate labs just sniffed him and could have cared less, Kirby on the other hand, went crazy and is still trying to climb Rhett's dresser to get at him. You can tell the labs are bred for bird hunting and scottie dogs are bred for vermin hunting.

Anyways, I'll try to post a picture someday...
