More testing (again)

Sydney had another day of testing this week. Her tests had to be done without her having much sleep. She was only able to sleep a total of four hours for Sunday and Monday nights. It's not that easy to keep a 6 year old up for two nights straight, but she did her best. On Tuesday morning we went to Primary Children's for a fun day there. She met first with the ENT then the respiratory specialist and the the sleep pathologist. She had to have another EEG done, this time she needed to fall asleep. I have never remembered the camera when we are at her normal appointments, this time I was very proud of myself for remembering. She always asks to see herself in the mirror after they hook her up for her test. I think she looks pretty dang cute. The white gauze on her head will be forever known as her spider man hat, thanks to Blayne.

Special Weekend

I had the special opportunity as did others in our ward of attending my dear friends baptism. Pricilla Gale, one of the sisters I visit teach was baptized on Saturday. It was such a beautiful day. Her husband was able to perform the baptism. The sprit was so strong as she entered the water. Her testimony of the gospel is nothing more than amazing. Her faith as never waviered. By visiting with her over the past few months she has taught me so much about the truthfullness of the gospel. I would try to address specific areas of the gospel that she had questions about during our visits. By preparing ahead of time and wanted to present a message to her in a way that was easy for her to understand, it helped me gain a greater testimony of the simple truths of the gospel. I know Pricilla will do amazing things for the church, she is a great example of a follower of Christ. I was so blessed to be a part of her baptism.

Blayne's new job

Blayne just got his first job. He is still trying to earn money for his new lawm mower, so Brother Mc Grath hired him to mow his lawm with him. Brother Mc Grath has a riding lawn mower, and he picks up Blayne on it at our house, then they drive over to his house to mow the lawn. Blayne truly thinks he is doing the Mc Grath's a service by mowing the grass. He is sure that Brother Mc Grath wouldn't be able to mow with our him. Everytime we drive by their house Blayne checks on the lawn to see if it is time for a mow.

It's Autumn Time

I love everything about autumn except the fact that it means winter will soon be here. I love the feeling of the fall air, the cool mornings and the sunny after noons. Our family had be able to spend some time together and enjoy the beautiful weather. Kristyn's teacher had invited us to go with her family to some pretty fun places. We went to the dinosaur museum a couple of weeks ago. It is hard to imagine how huge dinosaurs really were until you stand next to them. The kids had a great time digging for dinosaur bones.

We were also able to go to the scarecrow festival. The kids enjoyed the large slides and the haunted house. I was able to get some fun pictures while we were there.
