GRANDKIDS

Kelli left yesterday after spending 9 days with me. It was great to visit with her and see my grandkids. I had many opportunities to watch them. Kelli was here because her best friend was having a bridal shower and going to the temple. Now everything is so quite. I miss them already and they will be back for a week in April, when her friend get married in the Newport Temple April 28. This friend was one of kellis bridemaid and now she is hers. It will be great to see my grandkids agaim.

Tami is going to have surgery April 11 at USC Medical Center. Her back did not heal properly and they have to redo it. She will be in the hospital for 3 to 6 days.

I am off school for the next week We are on Spring Break. It is early this year because we started school early last year. It is nice to have a break. Hope all is well with everyone.

CATCH UP

Sorry it has taken me so long to update this blog. My life has been very busy lately. First i was living by myself and now I have had two return home. Eric and Jamie have come bact to roost. Eric and I have just come home from Wal Mart. Made our midnight run. Needed new movies to watch. I have been working steady. I went to visit Kelli and her family a few weekends ago. Drove all by myself, could find no one to go with me. It was great to see my grandchildren again. I went to help Kelli, she had to take both boys to the hospital to have tubs put in their ears. It was the first time I have ever heard Ryan cry. It was very upsetting to me. Trevor was better this time. He had it done once before and was very upset afterwards. This time he calmed down sooner. Always had to see your children struggle when their is really nothing you can do for them until the medicine wears off. Traci is getting bigger. Her baby is due in June. Seems their are lots of babies due this year. Well I am really tired so I will say good night. Love you all.

This is a test

moving

Hello Everyone,

Sorry it has taken me so long to write on my blog. I have been busy packing and moving for the last month. We had to be out of the house by Nov. 30 and we had tons of stuff to go through and move. We finally saw the end of the road. I now live in an apartment by Bill. It is kind of strange to live in an apartment after living in a house for so many years. It is a big apartment 12oo sq.ft. My extra bedroom is packed with boxes. I have to clean it out by Jan. 21st when Eric comes home on leave. I have been working steady ,but now their is nothing on the subfinder for the next week, because school will be out on the 16th for 3 weeks. So nobody is going out for leave. Hope all is well with everyone. I love you all so much. Mary

eric leaving

Eric left for boot camp monday night. My son in law Kevin gave him a blessing before he left. It is strange not to have him around. I miss him, but know that this is good for him. I worry about all the bad stuff you hear about the marines and boot camp. Please remember him in your prayers. He called me when he got to the hotel monday night. I do not except to hear from him again for about 3 weeks. I have the faith that the lord will take care of him. Hope all is well with everyone. Love Ya.

family

Well Tami has decided to take a class online. She has done very will. Her first test and she only missed 1. She is taking medical transcriptions. She said the teacher was very helpful. I am really proud of her. Kelli has found a place to live in San Jose in a condo. It happens to be in aplace where we use to live, at least the park anyway. She will go to the same church building, but be in a different ward. She went to San Jose this week, with just the boys to find the place. She drove all by herself. Well hope all is well. Jim's brother Matt had to evacuate in Texas, they lived in Missouri City which is between Houston and Galvaston. They went to Austin. Hope Mike and Betsy are well. Love to you all.

My job

back to school

Hello Everyone,

It is so nice to write on a blog that works. This will be short, because I have to get to bed. I have to go to work tomorrow. I am subing as a secretary for the Vice Principal of Special Education. School does not start until next monday for the students. I have to get all the IEP folders ready for the teachers and the new students. I may not have this job for long, because I cannot access a certain program because I am a sub. In that case they will put me in another position and find someone who can do the program. Well time to go. Please write me.

Love Mary

New Blog

Hi Everyone,

Due to technical difficulties with the other blog, I had to create new one. Aunt Donna kindly did this for me.

At this moment I have to go and get Eric from his cousins. I will write later. So sorry, I did not mean to ignore anyone. In fact I love my blog. I enjoy looking at everyone's blog, but my password would not work so I could not write on your blog. Please forgive me and write to me. I love you all.

Mary
