in denver april 20

Well here I am still in denver but this week has gone by pretty good, the crew we have are doing real good together. We are actually having a good time and enjoying each others company. No problems that we can't or haven't been able to work out. I am missing home though and can't hardly wait to get there. We have only 3 nights left. We should be home on wed night. Saturday I got an infection in one of my teeth and of course nothing I can really do as now it is sunday. But oh well I will get through it. Next saturday Desiree will be getting baptized and I will be home for it. I am real proud of her. As I have been out here I have missed her and Kirks B-days but what can you do when work is out of town? I will at least get to see them on sat. Thursday is Shannas B-day but I will be home for it. Even though I am out of town life just keeps on going. There is so much that needs to be done and when I am out of town I get fustrated because it is not getting done. I am not the only one that feels this way though. Every one has things to do. I hope during the time I am home I can get some of the things done, but who knows what time and weather will do. I do miss Janet and everyone please take care and we will see you soon.

Week of April 1-5 2008

Well this week is over and some great things have happened. First I got home from Denver on Wed about 12:30 pm. Had all day Wed off. Took both Grizz and Oreo to the Vet Grizz has a yeast infection in his ears so now we get to treat his ears with meds twice a week it is already helping. Oreo got her fist shots and she checked out healthy. We are loving having her as part of the family. Grizz is doing just fine he even is becoming somewhat playful to Oreo. I still know he misses Shadow as we all do. He puts up with Oreo until she gets irritating then he really puts his foot down and she can not do anything as he is so much bigger than her. She seems to be adjusting to her life with us. I then spent a good portion of the rest of Wed with Shanna as we went and ran some errands. We went to Mistys and spend a little time with her and the twins. Arron went to sleep right after we got there but AJ was up and at first he didn't want to be around his uncle Bill but after awhile he warmed up. I could not believe how big he is. The twins are younger than Sadie but even Arron who is the smallest of the two makes, two of Sadie, how does Misty carry these boys. Misty's husband Adam just had surgery on his ankle but is doing well. They are my brother Matt's family. I sure wish I could spend more time with All family members. I sure had a great time when Matt and I went to Ottercreek, it will be one of my great memories. I sure do enjoy family last night Chastina and three of the kids came over and we had a wonder full evening so fun are the grand kids. They sure enjoyed the dogs even though Grizz is so much bigger than all of them. They seemed to enjoy Oreo but at times they were thinking she is a pest. She just wants so loving. Desiree was at a birthday party so she did not make it here and Grandpa missed her she is a fun person to be with. I hope that they can come back tonight and have some ice cream after Ryan and I get back from priesthood. My niece Kellie Had her twins on April 2 and The twins are doing well. She had Jonathon Leroy then Beth Ann. She had a little problem with Beth as Beth didn't want to come out normal so Kellie ended up having Beth C-section, but as I talked to Kellie all were doing well. I just can't wait to see them all as I really enjoy them. I heard that the birth was real hard on Roger as Kellie said that night he slept and didn't even hear his cell phone ring when his brother called. He had better sleep all he can cause when Kellie and the baby's get home all sleep will be over. God bless them all. For all who don't know yet Janet and I am going to be Grandparents again, this will make #7. Shanna And Ryan will be parents again in Oct. As for Crew- troop 1098 we changed our night from Wed to Thurs as of April 1 so I will have scouts on both Tues and Thurs. We ended up changing our sea base trip to fall as we are doing allot of activities this spring. We are going to scout camp the first week of July [yes I know it is the week of July 4 but that was the best time] we are going to be going to Camp Buffalo Bill in Wyoming. Between now and then I will be going back to Denver for another 10-12 days then to Cedar city some other Utah locations. Travel is OK but I do miss family when I am gone. Kade is still doing well and I sure enjoy hearing from him every week. Isn't internet great. I hope all who read this enjoy and I really love you all.
