Well we survived the week. But just barely. Ha ha. Dad made it through flu # 1 and flu #2 hit him. Hard. On Wednesday. Poor guy threw up for good solid 12 hours. I think he counted 14 times. It was horrible. Horrible. H O R R I B L E! So bad that the acid burned his throat and he can hardly talk. And it's 4 days later. He had to take off Thursday and Friday (besides being tired his voice is just not good). We are hoping he can talk in the a.m. although today he still doesn't sound good. Certainly not a radio worthy voice!
So Katie got it Sunday I think. And Monday was Martin Luther King day so she didn't even miss school. I saw the writing on the wall and have been afraid to eat all week. Hit me Friday night. Luckily not nearly as bad as Dad. I only had 2 episodes in about a 4 hour period. I had fever and chills and aches etc and stayed in bed for about 36 hours (which was way nice!!!) but thank goodness pretty mild actual flu ew!
We keep telling Holly, Bryce and Dallas to eat carefully but they just laugh and say they won't get it! Ha, we shall see. I hope they are right -- for selfish and not so selfish reasons!!! But I fear they may be next!
This week is a busy week for church stuff. We have a fireside this evening. Baptisms for the dead on Tuesday (i don't get to go...so sad!!!). Thursday is sports basketball games for the YM and YW and Saturday is EFY. Lots of great stuff. Wish I could go Tuesday. But alas...our time is 6 p.m. Right in the thick of court. I could probably have Kathy cover but I wouldn't want to do that to her. Or me (I usually have clean up after I miss).
We had 5 YW in church again this week. Yeah!! And that did NOT include my 3 new girls. I guess it was their week to be up at the mom's house. I dunno. I'll have to find out more about them.
Katie and Holly are still busy playing basketball. Katie's team is undefeated this year and I think they will win the league. Holly's team was doing well but I think they've now lost 3. Seemed to have lost whatever it was they had in the beginning. The girls have signed up to do the talent show. I think they are going to sing or something. I don't think you could pay me to do that -- we'll try to record that and send you a snippet if they do it!
Dallas is still working for the city and doing his band stuff. He just arranged to start piano lessons with Brother Nick Bassett (was he here when you were here?). He is totally jamming awesome piano player and he and Dallas made some kind of arrangement that Dallas will go to his house on Thursday nights at 8:30 I think and Nick will give him a lesson and in exchange Dallas will babysit or do odd jobs or something. Anyway, Dallas has been practicing and seems to really want to learn. Brother Bassett is pretty talented and pretty righteous. I hope he follows his example. His wife is a return missionary too. They are both pretty cool. She serves in the Primary presidency.
Bryce has been taking his meds for his face for quite awhile now and he looks so good. Dallas has completed the medicine and looks good too. Bryce still has 6 weeks left or something. Not sure. But it's amazing the difference in their faces. There is some girl from Desert Hills (Maddie I think is her name) that is sweet on Bryce. They met at a band thing I think and have seen each other at a basketball game or two. She came to a concert he was in to "watch him play". Ah. Sweet, huh. They have talked on the phone a couple of times and I would guess he sees her at stake dances, but I'm not sure. I hope the fact that she lives so far away will help keep their relationship on the up and up!
Everyone BOY got hair cuts this week and they all look very handsome. Dallas went to great clips and Bryce settled for me and Dad did his own with a little help from Bryce. All worked out. Everyone looks great.
Well not much else to report here. Things are about the same as usual. The weather is kind of like the family has been this week. Overcast, cold and a little rainy. Hoping for the sun to come up tomorrow and everybody be healthy too! We shall see.
Well I hope things are good there. Brother Johnstone asks about you regularly. As do many other people. I'm glad you are doing so well. You are inspiring!
Love you lots. Keep up the good work! Love you mom.
