Larry scared us today. His blood sugar went up to 458. He ate some protein and went to bed and slept and then it went down to 253 but that was still high. We went to the doctor and talked about what he could do to keep it from happening again and then we went and got him some foods to take with him to work. He is feeling better tonight but he was sick this morning.
I went to the dentist and got my night guard fitted for my teeth. Beth Reid works there and so I had a good time talking to her while Dr.Steiner worked on fitting my guard.
Last night was the Ward summer party. They have held it the last three years at Farmington Pool. Kyle came down and swam with BJ. They had great fun playing shamo the whale. Kyle would be on BJ's back and BJ would swim under the water and then up and then under. I don't think I could do that. Maren and Landon and Brinlie came but Landon wasn't feeling very good because he had been sick the day before. Maren had bought a swim suit for Brinlie that was cute on her but Landon worried about what it was teaching her because it was two piece. We took Jennie Tarbet with us this year so I didn't swim and Erick didn't want to swim.
Maren cut my hair in an A line yesterday. I don't know what I am going to do. I want it to be smooth but it goes curly in the heat. Maren did a good job though.
Kyle and I went to the movie "Because of Winn-Dixie" yesterday. It was a great kids movie and great for anyone who wants a movie about learning to find friends. Kyle said that their teacher had read them the book so I would like to read it to see what it is like.
Larry and I are on the trek food committee this year so we had to go to a meeting tonight about that. Larry was feeling much better by then, thank heaven.
Well, I am tired as usual. Good Night.

Tuesday, June 20, 2006
I went to a Relief Society enrichment activity tonight. We made freezer meals that we can cook when we don't feel like cooking. It was fun to see everyone but it was really busy. I liked the idea of doing something rather than sitting through a demonstration, it felt good.
I had to work at the family history center this morning from 9-12. We really had a lot of people come in to find things. Our stake has ask those going on the trek to find someone that they could be baptized for and take their name on the trek so it has caused a lot more people to be looking for names than normal but I think they are finding a lot of names that would otherwise be left waiting longer.
I took Jenny Tarbet to lunch for her birthday (with was in March) so that shows you how far behind I am. Then we went to get a few flowers for the yard.
Sunday night we had a family get together with most of the kids for Father's day and June birthdays. BJ talked me into getting the trampoline fixed and we went down to Craig and Corrine's and borrowed the jumping house for the kids that Grandpa Jenkins bought a few years ago. It was a beautiful afternoon after church and we had a great time sitting on the patio and talking and visiting and watching the kids play and eating dinner and birthday cake. Most of the kids commented on how much they enjoyed it.
Last week I took a class on Dreamweaver I at UEN on Monday and Tuesday and started the beginnings of a website for school. On Wednesday and Thursday I had the Career and Technical Education Conference at Hillcrest High School. I learned some fun things but it was as hectic as being in school.
Larry was excited to get a B in his Math class that ended two weeks ago. He stresses so much over math that we were all glad. I told him he could no longer say he could not do math. He started a higher level of math this last week and is working on that. We bought him a battery for his laptop for Father's day and we did not make him grill his own dinner this year.
Nathan and Sara made it back to Texas okay and the floods that Houston has been experiencing were further south so they were okay today except the home phone was out for some reason. They said that Isaac threw up several times on the trip home so it was a "very exciting trip" back. In Colorado they saw some Prarie Dogs and were pointing them out to David, he ask if they were "Larry Dogs"
Michelle and Daniel got home from California on Saturday evening in time to mow the lawn. Michelle's birthday was on the 12th so she was in California. So her birthday was one we were celebrating. They went to Disneyland and the beach and were able to visit with family and friends in California. They had a good time but Michelle said they were ready to come home. Kalisse had really grown in the time they were gone. She was even starting to look like Jaron. Michelle had new pictures of Ethan and Hailee that are really cute.
Jake and Nikki are building a small garage in the back behind the house. They have the cement poured and when we stopped by on Saturday they were working on a retaining wall around it to support the flower beds around the foundation. Lexie has been working on some scrapbooking projects with Nikki. Lexie has year round school so she will be out for most of the month of July but is not out yet. Ashton is starting to walk around things. Nikki thinks he will be walking in a few weeks.
Jeff and Misty are trying to get into their own home so Misty is going to work for a while starting next week. Leah is really growing into a young girl lately. Matthew had a new hair cut that was really short. Misty said that she decided to go over it with a number one so it had grown out about a half inch. Owen was really happy Sunday. He is really a mellow baby. Jeff, who usually has a shaved head, told Maren that he really needed to get a hair cut because he was looking like a hippy. His hair was about a 1/16th of an inch long.)
Kirsten and Jon are both trying for new jobs. They would have a higher salary if they could both get them. Jon has had people call him and ask him to apply so we are hoping that is a good sign. Kirsten would like everyone to pray for them. Kyle just got back on Saturday from two weeks with Aaron. Kyle and I are going to the movies tomorrow morning. Kirsten said that they have a free movie every Wednesday this summer. They have the girls tomorrow evening. Kennedy didn't get to come to the party on Sunday because she was with her mother so I am hoping to get her present to her. We have a ward swimming party so maybe they will come.
Erick is not taking classes this summer so he has a little more free time. He has two dates lined up for this weekend. He seems to be enjoying his University of Utah ward. He went with one of the engineers from his work to Salt Lake and went speluncking in an access tunnel today under 7th something to see what condition it was in. He said it was not in very good shape. He and BJ helped me get some yard work done on Saturday so the flower beds are starting to look better and the lawn is mowed.
BJ has gone to Logan a couple of times in the last two weeks. He was looking for a job. He has accepted a job with Alert Cellular at the Logan Mall. He starts tomorrow on training in Salt Lake City and then, I guess he goes to Logan next week. He is going to stay with Steve and Christy Kropp in Millville until he can get settled. He has helped me with several projects while he has been making decisions on where to be. Last week while I was gone he organized the pantry and found several things we did not know we had. It has been good to have him home.
Maren has taken a month off from Beauty School. She was offered a job as manager at the pioneer village photo shop but after accepting and working for a few weeks she and Landon decided to have her home with Brinlie as much as possible. She has enjoyed the time off. She has been making bows for Brinlie to wear on her head and has saved herself a lot of money. She seems to have her dad's talent for making things. Landon has been working for his dad. He and Kennedy share the same birthday so we were celebrating Landon's birthday also. He was sick today with the stomach virus that is going around. Maren said he had been throwing up all day.
We went down to Mom and Dad's on Saturday to visit for Father's day. We took some homemade chicken noodle soup and had dinner with them and visited for a while. Dad and the boys went to get the jump house while Larry and I stayed to be with Mom. We had a good visit. Dad told his stories about some of the things he did in the war but was able to admit that he often did crazy things and laughed about it as a way of dealing with the trama they faced everyday. We took them a copy of the family picture and Mom said she really liked it.
Maren had a funny experience this week. She was talking to their next door neighbors and as they exchanged information about each other she realized that maybe there was a reason they looked familiar. It turns out it is my cousin Kimo's son, Jimmy, and his wife.
Well, it is way too late and I should have been in bed two hours ago. Goodnight.

Sunday, June 04, 2006
I have been laying in bed trying to sleep but because I slept most of the day because I have not been feeling well I cannot sleep tonight. I suppose that is good news as it means that I am getting better, but it is still frustrating. I decided I should work on the blog seems how I did not get it done during the day.
Last Sunday we went to Mayfield for Memorial Day. We took flowers to John's grave and went to Aunt Mable Michelsen's for lunch. There were several cousins there. Nathan and Sara and family went with us along with Erick and BJ. Jake and Nikki went with their family on Saturday and were able to visit with Marcia and Paul and David and Natalee, but we could not find anyone at home. We even drove out to Pauline's but she was not home and she had some scary dogs that tried to get my shoe. We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins's house on the way home.
Monday was the annual Sylvia and Junuis Jenkins family reunion in Heber. Erick and BJ went with me and Nathan and Sara and their family went. Larry decided to work the holiday for overtime. It was good to see the Jenkins family. Mom and Dad took us out to Charleston after and showed us where several of the graves of family members were out there.
While we were at the reunion Kirsten called and said that she had left some Chicken cooking while she went to take a bath and it had started smoking and filled the kitchen and living room. She caught is just as it burst into flames and was able to put it out but was pretty shaken because of how close she came to burning the house down.
Tuesday, Nathan and Sara went back to Texas. It was sad to have them leave but it had to be done. The drove straight through I think because the called Wednesday night to say they had made it safely. I had to go back to school for the week. BJ has been driving me down so he can have the car for the day. I think that Kirsten called him every morning with an errand she needed him to do with her during the day.
Maren graduated from Canyon Heights High School on Tuesday. Larry and I and BJ and Jake and Nikki and their family were able to attend. Landon's mom and dad were there also. Maren was recognized again for her scholarship with the Elks. It was a nice program but the building was freezing because of the air conditioning and Brinil felt like an ice cube and had no blanket because it was hot outside. We went to "Jake's over the Top" to get ice cream after and had a good visit with Jake and Nikki and Maren and Landon and families.
Wednesday was a good day at school. But BJ was late picking me up so I could not go to physical therapy. I was really hurting and thought it was because I had not exercised all last week. When I got home from school I was supposed to go to the church mill to help with cleaning. While I was waiting I laid down and watched TV. In that hour I started aching and chilling bad. BJ took me to the mill to tell them I did not feel well and then I went to the doctor who told me it was a virus. He gave me a prescription and I went home and had the boys give me a blessing and went to bed. Larry was at class all night struggling with his math.
Thursday I took enough medicine to deal with my aches for a while and went to school long enough to organize the last minute details of a Pizza party we had planned for the 7th graders. But, I got a sub and came home and slept all day. In the evening I started throwing up after dinner so I just went to bed because I knew I could not miss the last day of school.
Friday I got up as usual and went to school. I had quit throwing up but still felt quiesy. I tried to finish up my work but could not get it all done. They had a faculty luncheon that tasted good at the time but after that nothing looked good. Maren graduated from Davis High on Friday at 4:00 p.m. at the Dee Events center at Weber State. Larry picked me up after work and we just barely got there on time because the traffic was so bad. Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins came. BJ rode up with them from Kaysville to show them the way. Maren's in-laws, Evan and Shirley Gentile were there and of course Landon and Brinlie. Kirsten and Jon and their family were all there. Erick had a job interview in Salt Lake at 3:00 p.m. so he was there late. When they announced Maren's name they said, "Maren Jean Tilly" so that was a little frustrating. After graduation Grandpa and Grandma took everyone out to dinner at Sizzler. I could not eat but enjoyed the conversation.
Daniel has been in California for the week with his work and he flew home just in time to turn around and drive back to California for a vacation with the family. They were supposed to leave Saturday so I assume that everything went okay. They were going to see Grammy and suffering from Disneyland withdrawals.
Misty was celebrating her sister's birthday on Tuesday with the family. She was going to try to come for Maren's graduation on Friday but with Jeff working nights until 9:00 p.m. I am sure it just got too hard with three kids by herself
Jake and Nikkie went to Vernal on Friday for her Grandpa's 80th birthday party. I assume they were staying the weekend. Jake has orders to work for the guard again in Draper so he is doing that.
BJ did a lot of work in the yard today. He mowed the lawn and weeded on the south side of the house so we can plant something there. He has been good help.
Erick had a date to go hiking with a girl from his ward at the University of Utah. She is actually from Kaysville though. He took her to the water fall canyon above Ogden that he went to with Nathan and Sara last week and he seemed to have a good time.
Larry had to work today and then he came home and did homework. He is doing better at his math classes and thinks he will pass but he is still not happy taking it. He started to complain of an upset stomach tonight before he went to bed so I suppose that I have given him my virus. I hope it will not go through the whole family.
Kyle went to Vernal today to stay with Aaron for a month unless the plans they had changed.
I finished the Book of Mormon today. I have been trying to read it in 60 days. I was impressed by how short a time we have been on the American continent compared to some of the ancient inhabitants like the Jaredites and Nephites and Lamanites. It was good to read the things about faith that Mormon and Moroni wrote at the end. I love the feeling you get when the spirit is testifying that the things you are reading are true. I hope you will read the Book or Mormon if you have not lately.
Our primary lesson tomorrow is on keeping the Sabbath Day holy. It talks about the Israelites and Manna but it also quotes from the Doctrine and Covenants 59 where the Lord promises that you will have plenty if you keep the Sabbath Day holy. I know that to be true. I have never been rich but we have always had what we needed, and according to some accounts, we really are rich by the worldwide standards.
