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.

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...

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends,  Jake had his first soccer game.  Shawn came to visit.  Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids.  They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out.  We did some gardening.  Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids.  It was so great to see the family again.  I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis.  We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home.  Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs.  Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee.  I  have four more days left of the semester.  Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things. 
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.
