THE DANG PIG GOT US!!

IT'S OFFICIAL WE NOW ARE IN THE FIRST STAGES OF "SWINE FLU," I SAY STAGES BECAUSE THE DOCTOR SAID IF YOUR NOT REALLY CAREFUL IT WILL JUST KEEP RECYCLING ITSELF, SO BASICALLY CASH HAS GOT IT AND WE WILL GO FROM THERE!! I AM PRETTY SURE HE GOT IT FROM NURSERY, IT IS LIKE ONE BIG GERM POOL IN THERE, I TOLD MARTY LET'S JUST ROTATE FROM WEEK TO WEEK AND KEEP HIM HOME UNTIL NEXT SPRING!! I HATE SICK KIDS, SO IF ANYONE ELSE IS GOING THRU THIS AT YOUR HOMES, I FEEL WITH YOU!! ANYWAY, A LITTLE INFO. ON THE GOINGS OF OUR HOUSE, CHEROKEE WAS ON THE NEWS LAST NIGHT FOR FFA, SHE WAS SO CUTE AND OFFICIAL, SHE MADE ME VERY PROUD!! SHE LEAVES FOR INDIANA NEXT WEEK, I JUST HOPE SHE DOESN'T GET SICK-SHE HAS BEEN SMOOCHING WITH TRAVIS AND HE HAS BEEN REALLY SICK WITH SOME WIERD THING, SO I TOLD HER THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SMOOCH TO MUCH!! BUT IT SURE IS FUN!! CHEVY AND CHEROKEE COMPETED IN BURLEY THIS PAST WEEK FOR FFA, THEY TOOK FIRST IN STATE AND WILL GET TO GO TO NATIONALS IN NEVADA THIS SPRING, CHEVY IS THE YOUNGEST TO COMPETE, SO WE ARE VERY PROUD OF HIM, HE DID AWESOME AND EVEN THOUGH HE WON'T ADMIT IT, HE LIKED IT!! THINGS ARE COMING TOGETHER FOR THE BIG EAGLE PROJECT, I WILL BE GLAD TO HAVE IT DONE-HE HAS WORKED SO HARD AND I REALLY AM PROUD OF HIM FOR OVERCOMING SO MANY OBSTACLES WITH IT. CONTESSA AND LORIN ARE STILL IN OHIO, SHE SAYS SHE IS READY TO COME HOME-SHE HAS BEEN PRETTY DANG SICK AND GOING FROM PLACE TO PLACE HASN'T HELPED-SHE SAID THAT OHIO IS BEAUTIFUL THERE AND WOULD LOVE TO LIVE THERE IF HER IN-LAWS DIDN'T DRIVE HER NUTS!! I JUST LAUGHED AT HER!! MARTY HAS BEEN BUSY AS USUAL, I WILL BE GLAD WHEN THE DAY COMES THAT HE CAN TAKE TIME FOR HIMSELF, HE WORKS WAY TO MUCH AND THEN COMES HOME AND HELPS ME, SO I JUST WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM RELAX A LITTLE! AS FOR ME , MY LIFE IS CASH, AND TEEN-AGERS, I JUST TRY TO KEEP IT ALL TOGETHER EVERY WEEK, BUT I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS-I LOVE BEING A MOM AND WIFE AND IT MAKES ME FEEL COMPLETE IN LIFE!! I FOUND OUT THAT MY NOSE DOCTOR I WAS SEEING WAS IN JAIL IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA FOR FALSE-A FYING DOCUMENTS TO MAKE MONEY-I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON I DIDN'T GO BACK TO HIM LAST SPRING-HE MADE ME FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, SO I PICKED UP ALL MY EX-RAYS FROM HIM AND TOOK THEM TO ANOTHER DOCTOR . THE FIRST DOCTOR TOLD ME I WOULD NEED SURGERY TO REMOVE 12 POLPS THAT I HAD, THE SECOND DOCTOR TOLD ME HE COULDN'T FIND ONE POLP AND THE ONLY THING HE COULD SEE WRONG WAS I HAVE A CROOKED BONE ON TOP OF MY NOSE THAT COULD BE CAUSING SOME PROBLEMS, I TALKED TO SOME PEOPLE IN MY WARD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FIRST DOCTOR IS IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW, SO I AM GLAD THAT I LISTEN TO THE HOLY GHOST, AND HOPEFULLY MY NOSE WILL CLEAR UP. IT IS KINDA SCARY TO THINK THAT YOU TRUST THESE DOCTORS AND YET THEY ARE ONLY HUMAN TO AND CAN MAKE WRONG CHOICES. LIFE IS JUST FULL OF ADVENTURE!! WELL MUCH LOVE TO ALL, I NEED TO GO AND HOLD CASH-HE IS SO WHINEY TODAY AND MARTY IS TRYING TO SLEEP(THANKS FOR GETTING UP WITH HIM THRU THE NIGHT HON). LOVE, C

A BUSY MONTH

I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR NEXT SUMMER, YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT, I AM TIRED OF SCHOOL HOMEWORK, GETTING CHEROKEE READY FOR DANCES, AND COLLEGE APPLICATIONS AND TRIPS TO COLLEGES, I ALREADY MISS MY GREEN GRASS AND BEING ABLE TO WEAR CASH OUT, BY BEING OUTSIDE, LIFE NEVER SLOWS DOWN, I EVEN MISS SNUGGLING WITH MY SWEETHEART-THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO IS VERY CLAUSTROPHOBIC!! I DO LOVE FALL, I JUST WISH IT WOULD SLOW DOWN LONG ENOUGH TO ENJOY IT!! CHEROKEE HAD HER BIG DANCE ON SATURDAY NIGHT, WE FOUND HER A CORAL DRESS THAT WAS ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL, IT LOOKED SO PRETTY ON HER, SHE GOT HER HAIR DONE AND EVEN WORE JEWLERY, I HAD TO PULL TEETH TO GET HER TO, BUT SHE DID FOR ME!! SHE OF COURSE WENT WITH TRAVIS, WE WILL POST SOME PICTURES SOON!! CHEVY IS SO BUSY WITH GETTING HIS EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT READY, IT IS A LOT OF WORK, HE IS DOING A CARNIVAL AT OUR HOUSE FOR THE HANDICAPPED SCHOOL AND A CHURCH IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT IS PRETTY MUCH BROKE, SO WE ARE BUILDING PROPS, GATHERING DONATIONS OF GOODIES AND MAKING THINGS, I THINK WE ARE CRAZY, BUT LIFE IS GOOD AND I AM SO PROUD OF HIM!! CASH IS DRIVING ME NUTS, HE NEVER QUITS TALKING, AND IF HE CAN'T GET MY ATTENTION THEN HE SCREAMS MY NAME UNTIL I ANSWER HIM, MARTY IS DOING GOOD, HE HURT A NERVE IN HIS NECK, AND HE IS JUST SO STUBBORN, HE WON'T GET IT CHECKED. HE TELLS ME THAT HAVING SEX WILL CURE IT, I JUST LAUGH AND TELL HIM, HE IS GOING TO BE IN A LOT OF PAIN!! CONTESSA AND LORIN ARE GETTING READY FOR OHIO, THEY WILL BE GONE FOR TWO WEEKS, I AM EXCITED FOR THEM TO GET TO SEE HIS FAMILY, I THINK HE IS HOMESICK. WELL FOR NOW WE LOVE YOU ALL AND HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL!! LOVE, C

SO IT IS SOOO VERY BEAUTIFUL THIS TIME OF YEAR, OUR LEAVES ARE CHANGING QUITE RAPIDLY, THE CATS FUR IS THICK, OUR PUMPKINS HAVE BEEN ORANGE FOR OVER A MONTH, THE NIGHTS ARE WAY COOLER IN FACT YOU DON'T WANT TO SLEEP WITH TO MANY WINDOWS OPEN, BECAUSE YOU WILL WAKE UP SHIVER-ME-TIMBERS!! THE AIR IS AMAZING, IT SMELLS SO GOOD, THE STORES ARE PACKED TO THE BRIM WITH FALL ITEMS, AND OF COURSE HALLOWEEN YA-HOO!! I LOVE HALLOWEEN AND THE CANDY, I LAUGH AT MYSELF, BECAUSE I WILL BUY A PACK OF CANDY JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A CUTE WRAPPER!! I KNOW I NEED HELP, I AM A LITTLE OVER BOARD WHEN IT COMES TO HALLOWEEN!! I JUST HAD TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS ON FALL!!
AS FOR THE FAMILY, IT HAS BEEN A STRANGE MONTH, WE HAVE HAD SOME KIND OF COLD CRAP THAT JUST MAKES YOU FEEL REALLY TIRED AND IT WON'T GO AWAY!! BUT LIFE IS TO BUSY TO BE SICK, SO ONWARD WE HAVE WENT, MARTY HAS BEEN BUSY DOING WELL I AM NOT QUITE SURE, I SWEAR THAT BASEMENT IS TAKING WAY TO LONG!! MAYBE I SHOULD CHECK ON HIM MORE OFTEN AND SEE IF HE IS SNOOZING!! CASH IS SO FULL OF IT, HE TAKES NON STOP AND IS SASSY!! HE LOVES PUMPKINS-KINDA TAKES AFTER HIS OLDER BRO AT THAT AGE!! HE ALSO LOVES SCOOBY-DOO AND ANYTHING SCARY!! HOWEVER THE SCARY BASEMENT IS NOT FOR HIM! CHEROKEE IS DRIVING HER MOM NUTS, SHE CONSTANTLY HAS SOMETHING GOING ON THAT SHE FORGETS TO MENTION TO ME, UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE WHEN SHE NEEDS SOMETHING!! HER BRAIN IS ON OVERLOAD FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS, SHE HAS VERY HARD CLASSES, STUDYING FOR COMPETION, AND WORKING, TRYING TO FIND A HOMECOMING DRESS-THEY CHANGED THAT TO FORMAL - THE DORKS!! CHEVY IS ALSO STUDYING FOR COMPETION, CHEROKEE GOT HIM INVOLVED IN THE FFA SO HE IS GOING TO POCATELLO AND BURLEY TO COMPETE. IF THEY WIN, HE GETS TO GO TO OKLAHOMA THIS SPRING!!

I SEEN A COUPLE THE OTHER DAY THAT WAS CELEBRATING THEIR 65TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, I DON''T KNOW WHO THEY ARE, BUT IT STRUCK SUCH A CORD IN ME. ON ONE HAND IT MADE ME WANT TO LIVE EVERYDAY BETTER WITH MY SWEETHEART AND ON THE OTHER IT MADE ME KINDA SAD TO THINK THAT MARTY AND ME HAVE BEEN TOGETHER 20 YEARS AND IT JUST ALL WENT BY SO FAST. SO I TOLD HIM THAT WE HAVE TO BE THE CLOSEST WE HAVE EVER BEEN IN LIFE, SO THAT WE NEVER HAVE ANY REGRETS, AFTER ALL WHEN THE KIDS ARE GONE, WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER AND I WANT US TO BE THE BEST OF FRIENDS STILL!!

SOMETIMES I REALLY WISH THAT I COULD OF HAD TEN KIDS, BUT WE ARE SO GRATFUL FOR OUR LITTLE CASH A ROO, HE WILL BE HERE UNTIL I HAVE A FULL HEAD OF GRAY AND MARTY HAD A CRICK IN HIS BACK!! ALTHOUGH, I HATE LOSING MY CHICKS, I ALSO HAVE GAINED ANOTHER AND I LOVE WATCHING MY KIDS EXPERIENCE LIFE AND I HAVE CHUCKLED MANY TIMES AT WHAT THEY LEARN AND HOW THEY HANDLE IT.

ONE OF THESE WINTER DAYS!!

I AM SO TIRED OF MY BLOG PICTURES, BUT SORRY I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WINTER AND WHEN I HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO CHANGE EVERYTHING, YOU SEE I HAVE THIS LITTLE MONSTER THAT LIKES TO GET ON THE COMPUTER WITH ME AND SO MY TIME IS USUALLY LIMITED TO SHORT SESSIONS. I WOULD DO IT AT NIGHT EXCEPT, I AM FORTY YOU KNOW AND I NEED THE SLEEP TO HELP WITH THE WRINKLES I AM GETTING!! SO FOR ALL OF YOU THAT ARE IN YOUR THIRTIES, TREASURE THESE YEARS!! ANYWAY, I THOUGHT I WOULD AT LEAST CATCH UP A LITTLE ON WHAT WE ARE DOING AS A FAMILY, CASH IS WITH MARTY AT THE MOMENT SO I HAVE A FEW MINUTES. JULY WENT BY SO FAST AFTER THE FOURTH, WE CAUGHT UP ON YARD WORK, WORKED IN THE BASEMENT, WALLPAPERED-THEN ARE TAKING IT DOWN BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE IT!! CHEVY WENT TO SCOUT CAMP FOR A WEEK, SO I DECIDED TO GO TO UTAH WITH MARTY AND STAY AT CONTESSA'S, WE HAD ALOT OF FUN DOING SOME CRAFTS AND I HELPED HER RE-ARRANGE HER LIVING ROOM. IT WAS NICE TO SEE MARTY AT NIGHTS, PLUS I GOT TO COOK DINNER FOR THE BIG TEDDY-BEAR OF OUR FAMILY. I ALSO GOT TO VISIT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND THAT LIVES IN LEHI, SO THAT WAS ALOT OF FUN. I THINK THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT OF THIS MONTH WAS-EVERYONE IMAGE A DRUM ROLL IN YOUR HEAD, BECAUSE THIS IS BIG!!

CHEROKEE GOT HER DRIVER'S LICENSE FINALLY!! AND YES I HAVE EVEN LET HER DRIVE WITHOUT US!!

WE ARE EXCITED FOR SCHOOL TO START, WE ALL DO SO MUCH BETTER ON A SCHEDULE AND BESIDES I NEED A BREAK FROM TEEN-AGERS THAT ARE BORED ALL THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN BUSY SEWING AND SCRAPBOOKING TO HELP TIME PASS, CASH IS PRETTY GOOD WHEN I DO THIS, SO THAT HELPS ALOT. WE HAD TO SHAVE HIM THIS SUMMER, BECAUSE SOME WOMAN MESSED UP HIS HAIR CUT, WE WANTED WHAT YOU CALL A FLAT TOP MOHAWK, AND SHE JUST GAVE HIM A MOHAWK, IT WAS HILARIOUS, I WILL TRY TO POST A PICTURE LATER. SO HE IS A LITTLE BALDY AND HE MISSES PLAYING WITH HIS DILLY-Q AT NIGHT, SO HE HASN'T BEEN SLEEPING REALLY WELL. ANYWAY, WE ARE ALL GOOD AND HEALTHY FOR NOW, WE MISS EVERYONE AND HOPE TO SEE SOME OF YOU SOON. WE ARE GOING TO ISLAND PARK TO SEE A PLAY FOR MARTY'S BIRTHDAY ON THE 7TH IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME AND SEE IT WITH US-THE TICKETS ARE $25, FOR A PRIME RIB DINNER AND THE PLAY-PER PERSON, IT IS WELL WORTH IT!! LOVE YA ALL, CHERISE

4th of JULY FUN!!

WE HAD A VERY BUSY WEEK, LOTS OF THINGS GOING!! WE STARTED OFF WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP, (THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE UTAHANS, INCLUDING MARTY) COMING HOME ON WED. EVENING, WE JUST SAT AND TALKED UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT THEN OFF TO BED, FOR THE FUN STARTS TOMORROW. THURSDAY MORNING WE GOT UP AND GOT READY AND WENT TO THE IDAHO MUSUEM, THEY HAVE THE, "TITANIC" EXHIBIT RIGHT NOW, IT WAS WAY COOL. I THINK IT WAS GREAT FOR THE KIDS TO SEE A LITTLE HISTORY, THEN WE WENT TO THE FALLS AND TOOK SOME PICTURES AND GOT A DRINK. THEN THAT AFTERNOON WE WENT SWIMMING FOR ABOUT FOUR HOURS, IT WAS GREAT FUN. WE HAD A FIESTA NIGHT FOR DINNER, YUMMY!! THEN WE JUST RELAXED AND TALKED SOME MORE AND THEN AROUND 8P.M. WE WENT SHOOTING, THE GUYS LOVED IT AND US GIRLS JUST GOT ATE BY BUGS!! FRIDAY MORNING IT WAS UP EARLY AND ON OUR WAY TO FLOAT DOWN THE RIVER AT MACK'S INN, THAT WAS WAY FUN, IT TOOK US THREE AND A HALF HOURS, BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME. CONTESSA FLIPPED OUT BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD LEECH EGGS ON HER ARMS, CHEROKEE GOT THROWN IN TWICE, BECAUSE SHE WAS BEING A LITTLE TOO SASSY!! CHEVY GOT ATE ALIVE BY BUGS, CASH DIDN'T WANT TO GET OFF THE BOAT AND CRIED, LORIN HAD HIS FIRST RAFTING EXPERIENCE, CHERISE DID NOT THROW UP THIS TIME, AND MARTY JUST SAT BACK AND ENJOYED IT ALL!! AFTER OUR RAFTING TRIP WE WENT UP TO, 'OLD FAITHFUL," WE GOT DRENCHED BUT SAW A LOT OF WILDLIFE AND BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, WE STOPPED ON THE WAY HOME AND SAID HELLO TO THE ROBERTSON BUNCH AND GOT HOME AT AROUND 11P.M. EVERYONE WAS POOPED, SO WE SLEPT IN UNTIL 9A.M. SAT. MORNING. WE WENT TO THE MENAN HOME TOWN CELEBRATION ATE SOME FUNNEL CAKE, YUMMY!! THEN WE WENT OUT TO LUNCH, AND WENT HOME FOR A NAP!! WE HAD A B-QUE THAT EVENING AND STARTED DOING ILLEGAL FIREWORKS AT AROUND 4P.M. THE BOYS STOPPED IN MONTANA AND GOT ILLEGAL FIREWORKS, IT WAS HILLARIOUS TO WATCH LORIN AND CHEVY, THEY ACTED LIKE IT WAS CHRISTMAS MORNING !! FIREWORKS WAS GREAT FUN, WE HAD NEIGHBORS DOING THEIRS AND THEN OURS, WE HAD MUSIC GOING, NEON NECKLACES FOR CASH AND TONS OF SPARKLERS! SUNDAY MORNING WE MISSED CHURCH ON THE ACCOUNT OF LAZINESS, BUT WE HAD MUNCHIES ALL DAY AND JUST ENJOYED A AWESOME WEEKEND TOGETHER!! HAPPY 4TH EVERYONE, LOVE THE CARRILLO'S AND ZIPPAY'S
