It has been a while

It has been a while since I made a post. (I didn't actually look at the date) SO I thought I would drop in a give a short update of whats going on here.
There really isn't much that has changed in the last little bit. We got Megan enrolled and transferred to her new school which in it's self has been a bit of a success for her. She also has been put on some new medication for depression which seems to be helping her. She told me yesterday she is starting to feel better. I asked her what made her say that and she said that she just sometimes smiles for no reason and she hasn't felt like doing that for a long time. She is working again too so that helps for sure!
Ford has finally got his drivers license and is still on the swim team. It is nice not to have to be taxi service for him everyday twice. I do miss the time in the car we had to talk about the events of his day though. For a while there we thought he was going to have to not be on the swim team, due to grades and citizenship, but he decided it really meant a lot to him so he kicked it in gear and got his grades up and his citizenship taken care of. So he is still on the team. His next meet is next Tuesday in Layton. I am excited to see him compete again, I will let you know how it goes.
As for Chet and I the same still applies we are working our lives away, but glad to be and to have something to do everyday. At least I am, Chet I am sure would love to be retired and not to have to get up and go to work everyday.
I love you all and hope to hear from you all soon. Oh, and I am trying to write everyday on my personal blog for blogger month this month. Try being the key word. So far I have gotten a post for everyday even if some of the posts have been made on the next day in the morning, because I forgot. If you would like to go read it and don't have the web address it is parkerspanic.blogspot.com Either that or just click on my name of to the side of here and I think you can get to it from there. Love you all g'night

Just me!

Hi all! I'm actually on the main computer so I can read and add a post. Usually it's unavailable to me so this is a treat!

I'm busy running all over, as if a chicken without a head, but I keep on clucking so I guess I must be OK! It's a long drive to Page, and don't even have the benefit of seeing family, but I'll be making the trip about every other week for awhile, so I found a benefit in a shop there that has some good things for my new venture! I keep learning new things and finding good connections, so it's ALL GOOD!

People seem to like the things I'm making so I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row, so I can seriously pursue this thing! Planning a trip to Quartzsite, AZ in January, as a buying trip, and hoarding pennies and selling old stuff so I have a bit of a budget to spend. It's awhile down the road so I have some time. Met a really fun new friend who will probably go with me, and may be able to stay with Bro. Weaver's brother which will make it affordable to go! I'm way excited!!!

Well, I've gone on and on. I told Chrisser that was a great way to get rid of a job he didn't like! I'm excited for his new adventure! I'm also excited for Megan and Ford and Steve & Jen and theirs as well! Isn't life grand?!!! I love you all so much and can't wait to see you next! Have a great time with all your fun growing experiences! Mom

Surprise!

Hey Look! I really can find time to post. Hope everyone had a suitably spooky Halloween. Our family got its' own little scare that still hasn't gone away. Chris got laid off from his job. We could use any extra prayers you can spare. We are calling this a backward blessing, and we will be ok! Love you all! :)

GUESS WHO!!

It's just me and Jan that seem to be the only ones to post any thing on this family blog.. I just want you all too know that I miss hearing from everyone.. Even Mom, isn't posting I guess she is to busy with her newest project energy stonesnecklesses etc.. But I still have noot given up hope that she will take a few mins. to post something.. I didn't have to go see the Dr. this Fri. and It felt like I forgot to do some thing important.. I have been going every week for so long that I missed see everyone at the Dr's office.. But at the same time it is nice to be at a point that I don't need to go every week.. Mom just arrived home from a very long day at Page AZ. She was there helping to folks at the new ZionWay office to get their files and paper work arranged to met standard.. we are doing well and greatful for all of you ... we miss you and hope all is well for each of you.. Love you Dad

I am at work and so I only have just a quick minute. The last couple of weeks has been just crazy! I sprained my ankle at Church over a week ago and that is taking its darn sweet time in healing. Ford was ordained a priest on Sunday by Chet! Sweet moment for us! Megan is getting ready to change schools in hopes that she might be able to graduate on time, also she got a job just in time to get sick! Hopefully she will be better before Monday when she is suppose to start at the new school and her job. Ford had his first swim meet yesterday, that was really fun to watch. I look forward to watching him swim and improve. I came back to work toady only to decide that it was too soon. I will try again to come back to work on Monday. Whew! What a couple of weeks. Will try to fill in details when I am not at work if anyone has any questions. Till then Love ya tons! Jana

HELLO!

HI! I sure miss hearing from everyone.. I have a Dr's appointment on Friday, I feel like everything will be good because I have enjoyed more energy,and I got a few more things done that needed to be completed.. It's hard to believe that Steve and his family have about 20-22 day left here in St George... Then they are off to AZ. where they just visited this past weekend to look for an appartment to live in while Steve comleted his 90 day placement.. They did find something very close to the Air Force Base, that will allow Steve to ride his bike to his new assignment... This has taken a lot of pressure from Steve and Jen to have this already done..Happy Birthday to everyone this month.. Paige, Ford, (16) the Twins and Ms. Christi.. I really hope that all birthdays have been great!!..I hope everyone is well and happy I miss you all and pray for all of your well being and peace in this very troubled world.. If any of you can arrange a little extra time for the blog, that would really be neat to hear from you all... Love DAD

GOOD REPORT

I hope everyone is doing very well , and that everyone is feeling well and young..Today I had my appointment with the Dr. my blood was up to 11.5, last week it was 11.3.. As long as it keeps going up I think I will avoid having to go into the hospital for 9 days to repeat the same proceedure they did when they first started to treat me for this condition... I am now going to see the Dr. every two weeks instead of every week.. I will take this kind of news every time.. it gives me alot of hope.. Uncle Max and aunt Pat, stayed with us from Fri to wed. they come down to st George to watch Clark, Curtis and David run the big race.. while they were with us they become attached to Lilly, Uncle Max come to the kitchen one morning and Lilly greeted him He said to Lilly "just you wait until grandpa get ready and he will take you for your walk".. He took her for three or four walks that day.. The next morning aunt Pat came out to the kitchen before uncle Max, came out and Lilly greeted her , and she said you just wait until uncle Max comes out and he will take you for a nice walk.. and he did... Needless to say Lilly was very sad to she them go home wed. afternoon.. But uncle Max said tell Frank to bring you up next week so we can visit you.. I didn't take her up there this weekend even though Mom went to Northen Utah for aunt Audary's funeral on Sat...She was one of grandpa Botts brothers wife and the last one living of that whole group.. Mom plans to pick up aunt Pat to ride with her to brigham city then I guess Mom plans to return home Sat afternoon as she has a church assignment... Our wheather is starting to feel a little like fall, we are able to leave our door open and let in the fresh air it has gotten down to 60 degrees by 4 in the morning but during to day it warms up to the high 70's that's just right.. I am sorry, I got just alittle carried away with this blogg.. I love you all and want to thank you for remembering me in your prayers and thoughts.. I feel it and I am very greatfull for it... dad
