My son is living my childhood dream…

I BEGGED my parents for glasses as a child and now that I am older, and I’d like to think wiser, I am SO GLAD I didn’t and still don’t have them!  But my poor son, Cameron, is sadly living my childhood wish.  He came home with a note from the vision screening at school saying he did not pass the vision test.  He did mention a few times, mostly when they rearranged their desks, that he had a hard time seeing the board.  But me thinking that he had great eyes because they were like mine in color didn’t think much of it.  Throw that theory out the window!!  So in November I took him to the eye doctor and sure enough he is near sighted.  Or he can’t see things far away.  And it’s hereditary.  Should of known!  David’s whole family has terrible eyesight.  Dang it!!  When the doctor was testing him with the letters on the wall it made me sad.  I could read every letter on there and they were backwards to me and Cameron couldn’t see them at all!  So I have tried really hard for him to be positive about the glasses.  He of course is super excited about them.  He was really bummed when he found out that they had to order the glasses with the correct lenses and that he couldn’t take them home with him that day.  But now he has them and can see, so that makes me happy.  And he chose blue glasses.  If he had to have them I wanted him to love them, and he does.

Cameron also started piano lessons the beginning of November.  He is taking lessons from a high school student in our ward that is super talented in the music department.  He has written and composed music for video games and wants to write music for movies!  Cameron is learning a lot from him and I think it makes it more fun since he is a boy!  His first recital is next Tuesday and he is playing Jingle Bells.  It is fun to hear him practice and learn!IMG_2122

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
