Yer dad is going in for surgery on his shoulder Monday morning sometime. They are hoping to regain some of his mobility lost with his frozen shoulder, and maybe get a better idea of any problems that maybe be causing it... He will start physical therapy afterwards. If you can believe it, this will be his first trip to a surgical center for himself. (LIES! LIES! I had my nose worked on once!) In the past, they have all been for me. Not as good a record as Pres Hinckleys never being a patient in a hospital until he was 96...but still a record a whole lot better than mine!

"scope" and manipulation (i.e. he's gonna make 3 small cuts and do some work through there then move my arm and rip open all the adhesive capsulitis). In/out same day surgery. He's also going to grind down one bone he didn't like the looks of in the MRI. My shoulder has been in pain for so long, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

And I'll STILL not be a patient in a hospital since it is being done in an outpatient clinic.

I'm with dad-- I don't think it will be that big of a deal. Good luck though.

I sure hope it goes well. Grandpa is also going in on Wed next week for an eye operation to fix his droopy eyelids..so we'll just play general hospital. I'll drive the ambulance, Cambrie, you can come and play nurse, Brigham can be the Dr, and I am sure we will need a CNA for the Bedpans Buffalo...so I HOPE YOU CAN ALL MAKE IT!

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

potty training done

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
