Day 87

Friday


Jude, still sleeping on my floor, likes to play with his figures before he settles down. I like that he likes to be with Paul and I.  He's growing up so very fast!

Day 86


March 27th, 2014
Thursday


This afternoon I had my hair highlighted.  My original intent was to get chunks of hair darkened, but I ended up with this.  It was my first time ever having my hair colored and it was a new skill the young lady (a friends child) is developing.

This week I began a program called 20 Second Fitness.  Jadon loves exercising with me and I enjoy his companionship.

The van would not start today, dead (and very old) battery, so we walked to church and it was a very nice walk.

Rice rice baby - all over the floor.  I put rice in a sock for Jadon because he had an ache, apparently he doesn't need it anymore.

I have been finding game peices all over the house, then I found Jude playing with a bunch of them.  He wants little figures SO badly - I think we'll have to hit the dollar store and buy him a great variety, then put a lock on the game cabinet.

Jadon and I had our monthly date this evening.  We went swimming at Mt. Scott.  Jadon LOVED going down the big twisty slide again and again and again.  One lifeguard commented to me that he's fearless.  He sure is!

Jenea had this large ball of yarn out to make a yarn doll.  She didn't put it away - Jude and Jadon discovered it and got creative.  They are little rascals!  Grandpa Tuttle calls them Mutton and Jeff - I have no idea who that is.

Day 64


March 5th, 2013
Wednesday

We've been staying at Paul's parents for the week because it is closer to the children's school than our home so it's a little easier for me.  I remembered to bring everything except the backpack I packed full of Jenevieve's clothing so I had to wash her cloths every day and she slept in her brothers tee shirt.  Thank goodness for washing machines.  

Day 63


March 4th, 2013
Tuesday

Paul called from Las Vegas to let us know his Aunt Denise (Ardyths sister) died yesterday.  The children loved it when she came up from Utah to visit.  This is what her daughter Jennifer wrote about her - "To all those that knew my mother that I was not able to call: Denise Martin Cottle passed away Monday, March 3rd around 130 pm. She called 9-1-1 because she was having trouble breathing. Autopsy came back as an Aortic Aneurism. She was happy and living a clean life the last few weeks before she passed. We all knew her as a fun, bubbly, loyal person who kept friends for years and held them all dear to her heart. We will be placing an Obituary with viewing information for SLC area for Tuesday. She has a friend down in St George that is helping me with an informal viewing down there for Monday night so her friends don't have to travel. We would like for all to come and share fun memories or stories of her. I will update Facebook also with specific information as we get it. Thanks again for everyone's thoughts and payers for her. She was a loved Mom, sister, grandmother, and friend."

Day 62


March 3rd, 2013
Monday

I know this is discusging, but that's sometimes how things are with children.  We all noticed downstairs smelled like a urinal.  I could not find pee anywhere it shouldn't be, but I suspected Jadon was doing something he shouldn't be.  I finally discovered he had been peeing in his bedroom trash can.  I just don't understand.

Day 61


March 2nd, 2013
Sunday

I was cleaning dishes, noticed out the window there was a parade - at 9:00pm.  I got the children and we ran outside to look.  It was a very small parade of our neighbors Doug and Karen and their guests celebrating Mardi Gras - they threw necklaces to the children.  It was fun!
