Congratulations Erin!!!! You are about to enjoy the world of mommyhood! I mean sleepless nights, two a.m. feedings and all that. Oh, yea and knowing you created a life with god. That's important also. Well for all those how were wondering Dwayne did pick a job at Apex Alarms the only down side is that it's in Provo. But if he gets into Law school there at BYU then we could get a house down there. It would be nice to finally have a house. And be near alot of our friends who live in Utah county. And he's training with NY life to get his life insurance licenses. He wants to do that on the side. So I have to tell you all me drama from last sunday. I was sitting in Relief Society minding my own buisness when my mom(the primary pres.) comes in with Micah. I'm thinking to my self he's potty trained so what could they need. Well a little girl sitting in front of him in primary had some jewelry beads and she gave one to Micah, now mind you Micah is way over the put everything in your mouth stage so of course why not out it in his nose. Yes his nose, and it was stuck way up in the nasal cavity. So I had to take him to the ER. At first they tried a suction but that didn't work. And they tried using long tweezers but his nose was starting to swell around the bead. This was going on for about 45 min. Then the doctor started talking about some tool but they couldn't find it so they left the room for a while. Then they cam back with a catheter that was really small and he inserted it in his nose and blew up the balloon and just when he was going to give up and send us to Primary's for a more evasive approach the bead came out when he tugged on the catheter. He had threaded the bead in the end of it. When the nurse asked Micah why he did it he said he wanted to see if it fit up his nose. And when she asked what color it was he said so sure of him self, GREEN. And of course it was green and sparkly. So now I have in a specimen cup a green jewelry bead. Which I will use to embarrass him for the rest of his life , for causing that 2 hours of grief in my life. He cried so hard in the ER that I know he won't do that again!!! I guess the saying is right" Boys will be boys." It seams like I can't go a month without an ER visit. What a joy!! 

It's been a while but I'm still here. We were in the process of moving last week, ughh!! We moved in with my mom to save money for Dwayne to go to law school. It's and adjustment I will say that. I'm not used to having her tell me when to do things like clean the kitchen and do Laundry. But it's for the best. An update on my uncle he passed away last wednesday. It was hard for my family but I know he's in a better place now with my dad and my grandma. Thank to all who prayed for him. It meant alot. So anyho, now I have to focus on school coming up. I can't believe summer is almost over, I'm trying to get Micah into the pre-school around the corner from us instead of having to drive a mile to the other school. Not having any luck I guess the teacher is really good at this school so her class is full right now. It would really help because Isaiah will be going there in January so I don't want to have to drive to all these different schools. On a lighter note, Dwayne has been offered several job the trick is picking the right one. One of the jobs is working for an airlines doing marketing for them in this region so it would require travel Monday- Friday. But the pay is good so decisions decisions decisions. I guess we will pray about it to figure out what is best. I'll let you all know how it turns out.  

So today I received an e-mail form my aunt saying that my uncle was in the hospital on life support because he has bleeding on the brain. And  I just received another one saying that the brain surgery didn't work. I feel like dejavu with my dad for years ago. When he had a brain aneurysm and his brain surgery didn't work either. That's when I had to decide to take him off life support. They are saying that my uncle has mangled blood vessels in his brain that we there from birth, I'm not sure if my dad did but it could be related.  So it doesn't look good right now for him. So please keep Bernie Smith in your prayers. Not what I wanted to hear today but things happen for a reason only God knows. It's been a busy day so this is going to be a short one.

Friends

So something really scary happened to good friend of mine this last week. It's something that when you find out about it you don't know how to react to it. But all I do know is if it happened to me I would want my closest friends around me. There are some things in this life that we just can't explain why, or why me. There are things that happen to good people and we just don't know why it would happen to them. But I know that they come into our lives to make us stronger. I mean this week could very well be the second worst time in my life second to Isaiahs surgery. Dwayne lost his job but thankfully he has interviews today with three places. And then I took Isaiah to see a child psychologist and he said that his speech problem could be genticaly related and he wants him seen by a genetisist and wants his head to have an MRI to see if there is anything wrong there. He said that he could have a child syndrome and all of his problems could be related. And if thats the case then we don't know when his speech will get better. Just what I needed. I know things happen for a reason, but so much at once!!! I guess the only way to get over it is to pray, I've spent alot of time on my knees this last month. But I know it's worth it in the end. As for my friend I hope she feel better soon, and that she remembers that Heavenly Father loves her as he loves me too!!! 

I usually post in purple of course but today I had to do Red because it is soooo HOT!!!! Our Swap cooler doesn't work and we haven't got our new AC that was promised a month ago by our landlord!!! Most people I've talked to say we shouldn't pay our rent if we don't get our AC this week. I think I'm with them. We should knock off a couple hundred for all the days that it's unbearable!! I can't keep up on my laundry because I don't want to run my dryer during the day. And it's way hot when I clean so I clean at night when the boys are asleep. But for real I mean I can't live much longer like this. And to top it of I saw ducks swimming in one of the pools here, not the one we use but who knows if they've been in our pool. So I think it's time to break down and get a community pool membership. I like ducks they are cute but I don't want to swim with them. Still trying to find something for Micah to do this summer. He gets a little sad when Isaiah gets to go to school and he doesn't. Still waiting for Dwaynes test score. Should be here end of this week finally.

Well things are kind of crazy right now in our lives. Dwayne just took his second Law school admissions test to see if he get a better score this time. And he has all of his apps done and ready to go to about 15 schools. We really want to go outside of Utah for a while. And if you haven't heard my soap box yet our Swamp cooler doesn't work in the day and we don't have our new ac yet. So by three o clock in the afternoon it's a swealtering 85 degrees in our house. I think I'm not going to pay our rent this next month if we don't get it fixed soon. It's so darn hottt!!!! On a good note I took Isaiah to the liver clinic on Monday and the doctor said he has no signs of any infection, but that his liver is still hard and big so if he doesn't get sick in the near future they will hold off on a liver transplant until he's about 10 years old. Thats good because little kids it's harder on there bodies to have transplants. So by then Dwayne should be a practicing attorney and we might actually be able to afford it. So I have a mac right now but I think Dwaynes going to get me a PC so I can upload photos! I'm also computer illiterate so bear with me it might take a while!! As an answer to Heathers question I got the bike trailer/jogging stroller on Amazon. But Micah doesn't fit well because he's so tall. It only tells you that the weight requirement is 50 lbs. But you don't have giant 4 year old either. Other than that I love it. It's a Schwin one thats red and black and it's easy to fold up and put in my trunk.
