Sorry I do not have a lot of pictures this week.
On the January 11th we went back into the Audiologist for Joey and she said his hearing was amazingly in the normal hearing range. She was surprised. We knew it was a blessing. So I am very happy to report that we have no problems with Joey’s ears.
As far as Emily’s ears go Eric and I were praying and we both got the same answer that we needed to hold off. We know that an allergy to anesthesia runs in the family, so whether we got the answer we did was because of that or some other reason we don’t know. But I do know I will listen. I feel strongly that it is due to allergies rather than anything else. I know she is young but Benji was 14 months when they said he hay fever allergies. So I am going to try and dry her out and see if we can solve it that way. If not then we will try again in a couple of months and see if the timing is better then.
The BYU-I pathway program is definetly keeping me busy. I really enjoy doing the class but I am beginning to wonder if I will be able to go to school at BYU-I if I get accepted. I really do like attending a religious college.
Saturday the 15th I took Ben to audition for a commercial. Or so I thought. I got there and it was for a talent agency so I decided to stick around since he had practiced so hard to memorize his part and it was our date time. He got up and did his part perfectly I was so proud of him. On the way home I realized I was grateful that it was just a talent agency because it would require a lot of time from our family if he were to get a part in a commercial. That night they called us and said out of 700 people it had been narrowed down to 40 and Ben was in the top 3 in his age group. She said she was amazed that he was 4 and had memorized his part so well. They wanted to represent him which required him to register on Sunday and to take a class which cost $500.00. Now for some reason all common sense went out the window. I was a talent scout for a talent agency and I basically knew that they were here to sell me their services. I told her I would call her back because I was really excited and considering doing it. So I consulted with Eric and he said he would support any decision I chose, typical answer. So I did the only thing I knew best and I prayed about it and got an answer that I should not do this. Which I wasn’t sure if it was me give myself the answer or an answer from the Lord. So I prayed once again and this time got the answer, are you really going to doubt my first answer. So I prayed one last time for guidance in the way that I could tell them he wouldn’t be able to participate without having them to try and talk me into it. The answer I got was that it was on Sunday. So I was able to use that answer and then teach my son that we don’t participate in activities like this on the Sabbath. He was content.
That Sunday I decided to drive to Spring Creek, NV to spend a couple of days with my family. My poor mom didn’t know I was coming until 3 hours before I showed up but I guess that is better than saying I am coming and not showing up at all, which does happen. So the kids were able to spend sometimes with the cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents from Nevada. They had a lot of fun. They have been talking about it for days. Poor Ben on Wednesday got a horrible fever and couldn’t do anything. I had to leave town on Thursday so I could go to my class on Thursday night (I can’t miss a class or I will be kicked out of the program), and Ben’s fever was gone but now he felt horrible. He puked multiple times on the way home. At one point we were going through a grocery store and he was hanging onto me because he couldn’t stand up. Emily traveled surprisingly well. I was so happy.
Now Joseph has had two horrible tantrums this week. One started at Costco where he wanted a green cart, but I couldn’t figure out which one so we went inside to go and get our traditional pizza, thinking this would calm him down. Wrong!!! He cried all through the line, then I sat him down and I gave them the pizzas and he freaked out even more. Come to find out I had given Ben the piece that Joey wanted. So for half an hour straight he cried about a green cart and the pizza that he couldn’t have (I didn’t have any more cash and you have to have cash for the pizza) I finally had to leave Costco without shopping. Later that night Eric took the rest of work off and we went to see Harry Potter. It was nice, it was a much wanted and needed date. Then today at church Joey started to wine through sacrament meeting, so we took the water and I grabbed him and went to go into the hall as not to disrupt anyone. I made it worse. I was so embarrassed. I had the baby in one arm and was dragging Joey in the other. I get out in the hallway and about five families saw and burst out laughing. I wanted to but I knew I couldn’t. I was sure the Bishop was going to pull me into his office for being mean to my child. So in trying to keep him quiet in Sacrament I ended up making it worse. Thank goodness to wonderful friends that are so willing to help me out when my husband has to work.
Grandma Jill made the beautiful dress for Emily. I love it. I attempeted to make a headband but it doesn't even compare to the gorgeous dress.
