Life

I've decided that I need to post more, even if I don't have much to say.

Yesterday - got Josh off to school. John is off (M,T,W). Stayed in my jammies until noon :) :) (normal occurance when I''m home) Visited a sister in our ward who had a baby 4 MONTHS AGO. We haven't been able to catch up with her. We were beginning to think that her baby would be to big for the blanket before we got to visit her! Our ward has had 15 babies since April. Still 3 more expecting. I guess that is called population explosion :)
John and Josh went to the Archery range. I baby sat Ellis, Emma & Cade while there Mom went to drama practise, she is the assistant coach. (It isn't as easy as it used to be to tend small kids 4,3 and almost 1year olds).

I spent most of the day doing family history which I haven't done in quite sometime. I don't know what exacatly prodded me but I guess I'm kind of hooked again.

Grandpa Walker is letting Josh rebuild an old Model A Ford that he has. It has been sitting down at the ranch for, lets see?? ALOT OF YEARS! He didn't have school on Monday so Grandpa came down and the 3 of them got the motor out and tested it to see if it was still fixable.
Josh came in and said to me "We're Plum tickled that it turns free" :) What a kid. He is so excited to work on the engine and restore the car. Grandpa gave him a book about 1 1/2 years ago about restoring Model A's I think he about has it memorized. He got a parts catalog about a month ago and I'm sure he knows it almost by heart. Not really by heart:)

I haven't even got pictures yet but I will.

I guess I had better go get yesterdays dishes done before the family history program on my computer reaches out and grabs me again.

Kids grow up too fast!!

Kids grow up too fast!!
Josh turned 14 years old! Can you believe it. Where does the time go.





He opened present that morning.

We had a birthday party for him that night. It was lots of fun. Then on Sunday he was ordained a Teacher.
We are so proud of him and the way he honors his Priesthood. He has such a special spirit about him and we love him so much.
