A Dusting of the Cobwebs: Grand-kids...

A Dusting of the Cobwebs....

welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...

In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.

I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.

We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.

A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."

So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

Teenagers....

Jodie has informed me that they are expecting a new baby to their family, sometime around Sept 28th. That will make two welcome additions to our growing family this year...Jodie and Pauli families...

Spring Brake from school for Noah,... Launie, Ivie, and Noah came to Utah, from Arizona, for a visit with family.
Bret and Launie give their kids a car upon High School Graduation to help them get started on life.
Ivie's Ford Explorer, gets good gas mileage, so they came in it....

As the week came to a close Ivie decided to stay and live in Provo, and needed her car to be there.... Which left Launie having a rental car to go home. Ivie also works for her mother's boss at the YMCA, in Prescott, and left her job without notice. In Gymnastics, Ivie has won many medals, and had planned to attend Nationals in June....

You never know what is floating in teenagers head. Ivie is 19.

Derik James Inman...

Times have changed since I was a young mother. No one really knew what their babies were going to be. Sometimes Doctors could tell, by how fast the baby's heart beat was. Or how high the mother was caring the child....real high was meant to be a girl. Then there were lots of "Old Wife's Tales", and dangling a button on a string over the new mothers belly, to see which way it would rotate....one way was for a girl and the other was for a boy.......No Ultrasounds back then.

On January 30, 2014
I was invited to go with Paulette and James, To their Ultrasound appointment for their new baby.

I have never seen a Ultrasound for a baby. It was a very nice experience.
In a small darkened room, a Nurse used Ultrasound to see and check the health of Pauli unborn baby.
On a large TV like monitor on the wall we could watch this very active little boy. The Nurse checked his head and brain, his spine and eyes, his fingers and toes were all there and busy. She checked his heart and we watched the four chambers of his heart pump in perfect working order. He has a beautiful outline of his face and nose....The Nurse says he is in perfect health.....
Derik James Inman may be just as active as his older brother...

Yesterday in General Conference, President Monson said there is a change in age for young adults to become Missionaries. As of yesterday, a young adult, who has graduated from High School, or equal to it, and Boys age 18, and Girls age 19 are now excepted for Missionary service.

Today my Granddaughter Amber, informed me she has an appointment with her Bishop this week, and she wants to serve a Mission.
