Fathers

Since it is Father's Day I want to write about all the great father's in my life.

1) My Dad.  He is one of the good guys.  He is so generous and such a great guy.  He has a way of offering advice with out coming out and saying this is what you should do.  Also he is a great grandpa.  He always has time for the grandkids. I have so many fond memories of my father.

2) Lee's Dad.  Also  totally amazing grandpa.  I so knows that he loves my kids.  He is also is so great to hang out with.  We love going up to Kamiah and visiting with him.  He has seen many trials in his life and has continued to stay strong.

3)  Lee is a great dad.  He is staying home with the kids and it is going great thus far.  The kids love their dad to pieces and I know that he loves them.  Lee loves teaching the kids things. 

4)  My Heavenly Father.  Although I know that so many people think of God as something different then a Father in Heaven.  But that is totally how I see him.  As a loving Father who wants what is best for his children which includes me.  I can feel it when I pray every day that he is there for me in my trials and my successes. 

I love the father's in my life.  I have no idea where I would be with out all of them in my life.

LOCK DOWN

The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down.  It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much.  We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday.  We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days.  Kids haven't been in a store in weeks.  Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects.  It has been good and bad.  More family time and less running around.  But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough.  Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school.  It is likely they won't be going back at all this year.  Victoria will be the most effected.  No eighth grade graduation likely   The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders.  Either way they are all out until 4/20.  "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13.  Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...
When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.
