Thanks for all you do for me, love ya!
Love, your lame-o daughter.

in the last week...

First off, we have Ayden getting a certificate for being selected to be in a special math test. And believe me, it was special. I certainly didn't know any of the practice-test answers! great job Ayden!!!

Last saturday we had our youth days. I stuck with the younger group. They did great! They didnt' have enough players for their games to count against the other wards, but they still had fun!


Tonight was grade nine GRAD. WOW is all I can say! I cannot believe how fast these kids grow! I just feel like I was watching this group of kids doing their kindergarten performances!! crazy. made me want to start bawling.



Great job Ben! you had a fun fun year!


Ben recieved an award for being above 90% on the honor roll all year. WOW!!! Ben is such a good kid, I know he is having fun in life, and with his attitude...he always will ...love ya Benny boy!

Re-visiting an old friend...


T-tapp...
I started t-tapp YEARS ago...not long after Ayden was born...and loved it. In fact, I did it exclusively for years and years.
For the last 2 weeks I decided to pull out my old tapes and start over again! I haven't done it for a few years at all now. Lately, I wanted to prove to myself that I could do p90x. and I did it! However, I realized that it maybe wasn't helping my back.
My back has been sooooo frustrating.
However, I DO feel like I'm on the right track with a couple different things.
Many people use t-tapp to rehabilitate their backs! so...I suddenly clued in (duh) that I might want to try it for that too!!!
One thing about t-tapp is that it is a suprisingly intense workout...doesn't really seem that way, until you're doing it.
Anyhow, it is a truly a workout that I can recommend to anyone. It is great to do at home...good for joints and very good at shaping your body.
(it's called t-tapp because the woman's name is Teresa Tapp. there is no tap dancing involved!)

Ocular Migraine





Well, these have been interesting! I have had these 4 times this past week. I have had them in the past, but not very often...maybe once or twice per year.
They don't hurt, but are very disturbing...totally distorting your vision...and much more colorful than this demonstration...
They last about 20 mins, and after they are gone, you feel kind of out of sorts, and have a slight headache around the eye...and I was very tired after.
They are usually not serious, but I am going to see someone about them anyhow. Mainly they are just highly disturbing!
