Update on Jason

I realize that Jason hasn't been able to post (Internet problems) so I will let you know that he is still hanging in there. He has said that the worst part of his day is when he wakes up in the morning and remembers where he is, but then he understands that he does have an important job to do and he is honored to do it.

Jason has asked me to let you know that he has two patients that need your help. One is a young girl with diabetes she is in desperate need of protein. The best way for us to help is by sending canned tuna or chicken. Another patient is a young boy with aplastic anemia (I have no idea), Jason is petitioning several different physicians for this young boy to be transferred to a better location in order to receive a bone-marrow transplant otherwise he will not survive. In this case Jason is asking for your prayers/miracle. Obviously prayers in both instances are helpful and very useful if that is all that we can do. (Mosiah 4:24-27)
Also for any young woman or young man interested in a service project the area that Jason is in is prime for school supplies of all kinds (eg; backpacks, pencils, crayons, pens, markers, paper, binders, folders, glue sticks, ect.). The ONLY condition is they need to be completely plain and generic. No Hanna Montana, Jonas brothers, or any other theme. Nothing psychedelic either.

I think that's it. I will on Jason's behalf thank you for all the prayers on his behalf he has sure felt the support and strength.

Mission Log Date 8.11.09 TO HELENA AND BACK

Creating a whirlpool.

Jace in the tree at the Cocker's house.

Playing touch rugby (thank goodness) at the park.

Jaryn showing off her climbing abilities.

Malia and me, she was born on Jensen's birthday almost the exact same time, just a couple of minutes difference. I think that's amazing. (I don't know if I spelled her name right so I am very sorry if I didn't).

Well, our family ventured out onto the open road again and headed for Montana this time to visit our friends/family the Cocker's. Jaryn surprised us all by running up to Uncle Charles and giving him a great big hug. James and Jensen were introduced to rugby during our quick visit, and I don't think James was too thrilled about the sport.

Sunday we were able to see some familiar faces, although Helena 1st ward isn't what it used to be. The ol' gang is long gone except for the Cocker family.

The trip was short, and I don't think we are going to be making any more trips for a while, but it was great to finally get to see our friends after such a long long time. We have a potential date for next summer in Mt. Rushmore, right Michelle?

Jaryn's first talk

My baby gave her first talk in primary on Sunday. It was sooooo adorable. She talked about how we strengthen our family by reading the scriptures everyday. Even her daddy is reading the same scriptures and that helps our family feel close and stronger. It was so cute how she bounced up to the podium with her little hand-bag. I think she thought she was going to quote something from "King Julian" (that is what she had been use to hearing around the house over the past few weeks). I was a little nervous that I was going to hear "Welcome all you pansies!" But I didn't, Jaryn recited exactly what she was suppose to and it was sweet. What a milestone!

Jensen on utube

Hey Jensen, We loved watching you on utube. We have a suggestion on what to get your mom for Christmas...A tripod! Can't wait to see you guys!

Mission Log Date 7.19.2009 MY SON THE CELEBRITY

Okay everybody check this out. Jensen participated in the Stake Youth Conference Talent Show on Saturday and did a fantastic job and I don't even have to say so myself. In church today several parents came up to me and said that their kids couldn't stop talking about how amazed they were at Jensen's voice mimicking abilities.

I tried to download the video here on this site but it was too big so I had to create an account on youtube and download it there. SO here is the address.

AND no I didn't do that so Jensen could turn into some kind of reality-Internet-celebrity-15 minutes-of-fame star either so be quiet!

P.S. the taping of this is horrible. I did it with Jaryn trying to climb on my lap. SORRY.

Mission Log Date 7.19.09 ROAD TRIP!!!!!

Well we did it. The Chrillrens (and yes, I meant to spell it that way)and I loaded up in the car and traveled all of the way over to our relations in Missouri. Without mishap, misfortune or misery. We had a wonderful time, with the exception of James catching a little cold, but he didn't let that get him down too much, he managed to shoot off some fireworks and go swimming.

I was able to to visit church history sites and get a better understanding of our religion, which is to say I know enough now to get me into to more trouble if I happen into any real debate on the subject. (Tamara has learned about how absolutely wrong I can be about how absolutely certainly right I think I am. right? My family has known that for years). My favorite part was being able to surprise Dean and Carolyn Eaton at their home. They are going to have the most gorgeous view from their master suite when their renovations are complete.

Jaryn and I also got to go to an "off" Broadway production of "Anything Goes" thanks to a friend of Tamara. (Hey Susette?, er, remember when we went to that production of "Annie?" It took me back to that time). ANYway the theater was outdoors and it was a beautiful night,an adorable amphitheater too.

Jaryn got her fill of attention by her "Nesouri" cousins. Her hair was fixed up everyday, sometimes twice a day. She wants to know when we are going back.--That's kind of funny because 10 minutes after we arrived she wanted to go home. It didn't take long for her to realize that older girl cousins is where it's at. (Jaryn has named her new toy Cassie Care Bear! I hope that you like that Cassie :).

Well, I guess that's everything, expect for the pictures, I will post as much as I can.

Thank again to Owen and Tamara!!! WE HAD A GREAT TIME!!
