About 2 weeks ago we were lucky enough to have the Latter-day Celebration Choir from UVU institute come down and perform here in Green River. We are quite out of the way, so it was really neat. I was nervous about how the kids would do, so we tried to hide in the back, but the director invited us up to the front row and then got on the mike and asked other kids to fill in the front rows. I was nervous, but I ended up being amazed! Robbie was absolutely enthralled! The singers winked and waved and smiled at the kids and during one song they put a hat on Robbie's head. Needless to say, we had to buy a cd and it is Robbie's new favorite. He wants to listen all the time. Belle and Peter seemed to enjoy it although Belle was having an "I need to be the baby and sit on mom's lap" day and Peter got jealous, so between the two of them I got quite a workout. It was an amazing performance, and I was so glad we went! Even Rob ended up appreciating it although he didn't want to go out--he is a homebody. This singers were amazing and their testimonies and the spirit were so strong.

In other news, I got a new calling about a month ago. I am the new primary chorister. I am enjoying it, but it is way out of my comfort zone. The kids are all really good, but for some reason my two don't want to sing very often.

Also, we are starting potty training. We got Peter a Lightning McQueen toilet of his own and he is actually showing more interest in potty training. Before he said, I don't want to wear underwear, mom. Now he likes to go and sit on his new seat! Hopefully this boy doesn't take two years to get trained!

I am trying to be better at blogging once in a while. Here's what's new.

Peter is loving life at home alone with Mom. His favorite thing to do is play video games.

Belle loves school. She loves to be there and play and her favorite thing is recess.

Robbie's new thing is his glasses. He absolutely loves them! Now we are trying to get him to leave them the way they are supposed to be instead of wearing the earpieces around his chin and other fun inventive ways to wear them.

Rob is still incredibly busy. Golf state is this week and he has 6 players going. He is pretty excited. School is keeping him really busy.

As for me, I guess it is also new that we have discovered I have Meniere's disease. This is an imbalance in the fluid in my inner ear. So once in a while I get vertigo and then motion sickness. It's kind of a pain. We found out a couple of months ago and have been trying to get things worked out and as of right now things are going pretty good. I have a new medicine that helps the pressure in my ear and I have my motion sickness pill. I'm also learning a little better when I have to lay down and rest. Rob is not appreciating the extra work that this brings him, but he is being really good about it anyway. It's nice to not be sick all the time, either.

We are all looking forward to the end of school. It will be nice to have a break for a little while, although there is always plenty to keep us busy. That's it for now. I'm making progress, at least it hasn't been months since I wrote last!
