TONY NEVER STOPS!
Our son Tony has been accepted into the Nursing Program! He will be able to attend in Roosevelt unlike when he went to EMT and then Paramedic school. Mom and I are very proud of Tone for always working to improve himself. His becoming an LPN and then RN will open up more employment options and will greatly increase his income potential.
CONGRATULATIONS SON!
Where are you Dad?
Since my Dad seems to be MIA here in blog world I thought I would update you all on what they have been up to...
He and my Mom are busy remodeling the house. Last week it was new tile in the bathrooms, this week it was painting and new carpet. I will go and snap some pictures for you to see and post them soon.
They are also busy getting ready for a little vacation. They are going on a cruise, the lucky ducks. I'm still wondering why they are taking us kids with them. Wouldn't it be more fun with us?
I hope this motivates you to update us every now & then Dad. We miss your humor when you don't post for a while. :)
All right I'm done hacking into your blog...
Sincerely, Sarah
Grandchild #13!
THIS SIMPLE BADGE ...
...of our son and brother TONY represents literally thousands of miles, years of study, classroom and Internet instruction, clinical work at hospitals, dealing with oppressive bureaucracies, but included awesome support from Jayanne, the kids, and extended family, doctors, and nurses at the Duchesne County Hospital, plus persistance, integrity, and a desire to serve others. So this is not really just a SIMPLE BADGE. You're Awesome 'Tone'!
Ivins Family Home Evening
We started a new tradition in our family. On fast Sunday we try to get together and have a big family home evening with any of the kids that are around. It has been really fun. This month we got together at Sarah's house and learned about David and Goliath. Of course we made Nick be Goliath, and we had two David's, D.J. and Luke. After reading the story from the scriptures we talked about the "goliath's" in our lives that we can overcome with the Lord's help. Some the things we came up with...
-Leukemia
-Fighting with our family
-D.J.'s health issues (we will just leave it at that, trust me you don't want to know)
-Bad movies & Bad Language
And lots more!
Then we all grabbed our rocks (balls of tinfoil) and threw them at our Goliath's (Nick) Needless to say, it was a blast.
