Grandpa Melvin

Rob's grandpa Jenson passed away last week. It was kind of a hard week. He was such a WONDERFUL man! I am blessed to have been able to know him. Rob was really close to him and it was hard for him to see his grandpa go. My boys LOVED going over to his home in Monroe and helping with yard work and feeding the horses. It was especially difficult to tell them that he had passed. Fisher, I know is too young to really get it all and Heston has been really good about it. When we told him he said..."I feel some pain about Grandpa Melvin"...He tried to get grandpa to answer him at the viewing and kept say..."Grandpa, Grandpa...can you hear me?" We reassured him that he could hear him, but that he wouldn't answer back. :)When he said his prayers that night he thanked Heavenly Father for "helping grandpa Melvin get to heaven"...I am so so thankful for the knowledge that we have through the gospel. We are so BLESSED! The funeral was beautiful. What an HONORABLE man!

Helping Out!

I have a friend that is making the CUTEST knit hats to raise money to have IVF. As some of you know this is SUPER DUPER expensive and so she has decided to start selling these darling hats. I put a button here on our blog...you should take a look!!!

Blessing

I can't believe I got a picture of her smiling.

We had Griffyn's blessing this past Sunday. What a busy day! All of Rob's brothers and sisters came. My dad came from Colorado and my sister and her family and my aunt and her family were there too! We are so blessed to have so many great people in our lives! After her blessing we had dinner at the fire station. Lots of room and the kids love to climb on the fire trucks! Thanks you guys for traveling to be with us on such a special day!The kids love when papa J.R. comes because then they get to go swimming in the hotel pool and because they don't get to see him that often.
I had to get a picture of Griffin holding Griffyn!

"I'm just not feeling it DOG"

After tonight's result show and the revealing of the wild card contestants...I just have to blog about this! I am not sure about Idol this year. There are a few that I really like and then there are the rest! I do not get it! So just to vent...

TATIANA...ahhhhh...WHAT? What were they thinking? I know that they do things for ratings, but I cannot stand that basket case! She is either bipolar or and actress. One word...ok 2 words...TOTAL DRAMA! One minute she has an accent and then the next she doesn't...Hollywood week she was so out there and then when she sang as one of the 36 she seemed like she had taken a Valium. Whoa! Now she has a chance at the the top 12:(

Now I have to vent about Jorge! K..I know that the guy can sing. I just can't stand to watch this sweet Puerto Rican bust out "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"! Holy Smokes folks! So maybe if I close my eyes I could listen to it, but Idol needs to help the kid out with those eyebrows! They are a little on the freaky side. It looks like they may have tried to shape them, but he has some caterpillars growing there. I was hoping my man Ju'not would get through instead of Jorge:(

There are a few more things that I could vent about, but I will get on to the good news. Our girl, Megan Corkrey, from Utah has another shot at the top 12! I am SO EXCITED! I think she is darling and so different! She does do a little funny dance thing when she sings, but I LOVE this girl! I don't ever vote...and I know if I don't vote then I shouldn't say anything about who gets through, but I am going to vote tomorrow night. Megan, I will be doing my best to get you into the top 12! (you know she is gonna read this)...:)

Update...K...I forgot that the judges got to pick out of the wild cards. I am so happy they chose Megan as one of the top 12...13...I would have voted a bizillion times though Megan!

Heston the Romantic

Heston has had this thing for a little girl in his pre-school class...for a very long time. Her name is Katelyn and she is so cute and sweet. His teachers tell me that he is always saving her a spot on the rug and is such a little gentlemen. If we time it just right and they get dropped off at the same time he always makes sure to open the door for her. A few months ago I picked him up from school and he was so sad and kind of crying. When I asked him what was wrong he told me that he was never going back to school because Katelyn didn't play with him. She was playing with a new girl. I couldn't believe how heart broken he was. Things obviously were ok because he went back to school and him and Katelyn are still friends. Well about a week ago he came to me and said, "Mom I want to make Katelyn a necklace with Gillyin's beads and sneak it into her cubby"...How cute is that? I asked him where he got that idea and he told me he just thought of it. I don't know if he really did or if he saw it on "The Suite Life", but I told him he could sure teach his dad a few things! Ok...so today when I picked him up from school he told me that him and Katelyn got put into time out for fighting...lol! and then in the next breath told me..."Oh, and Katelyn told me she loves me"...HAHAHA! And then said that they were sitting at the table together and started fighting again, so he had to move to the other table. HOLY COW! They are 5! Well, when we got home he went and got Gillyin's beads and we sat down and made a necklace and a bracelet for her. Heston picked out the colors, but I had to do the making...he isn't patient enough to string the beads! He is pretty proud of himself and can't wait to give them to her.

WHAT?

SO...I haven't watched any of the Bachelors. How I got into this season..I have NO idea. After the big FINALE last night I have decided this....

Whoever thinks that they can find the person that they are going to spend the rest of their life with on a 6 week, living in LaLa Land show is an...IDIOT! K, so...Jason was a total MORON. If he wasn't 100% sure who to choose, or if he was "falling for 2 people" then I am pretty sure he should have said so...instead of doing what he did. If I would have been Melissa I so would have SMACKED him. And if I were Molly I so would have SMACKED him AGAIN! But then again...they signed up for this reality show! What can you expect? I don't think that I will be tuning in to watch another season...EVER!
