~Little lamb, Jayvens procedure, Relay for life, VBS, & Moving~

Wow....it's been a while since I posted on my blog. 
Been a BUSY grandma!

June 1st Shaylei bought her lamb for 4-H. She named her Joy. I have mixed feelings about this kinda project. They get so attached to them cute little lambs & then they have to sell them for slaughter. It's hard for me to see her be upset & not really understand why we do this kinda project. She loves animals a lot.

On June 7th we went to Spokane for Jayven to have a procedure done to see if he has celiacs disease ....and again they didn't find anything... Don't get me wrong I don't want anything to be wrong with him, but we are trying to find out why he breaks out with a rash all over his body & he's sick a lot with sinus & ear infections. He's also not gaining weight. He fits a lot the symptoms of celiacs disease & these children are hard to diagnose. Now they are sending him to a Pulmonary Specialist to make sure he's doesn't have anything going on like possible Cystic Fibroses. It has been a very stressful time for Jenifer & very frustrating for her not to get any answers. Being a single mom puts a lot more stress on you when you have to do it alone is hard. We try to support her as much as we can.

On June 8th & 9th I did Relay for Life. I raised $280.00 in donations. I walked all night with a friend. I walked about 8-9 miles. I did have to stop for breaks & sit by the fire to warm up & to give my feet a break. I did take a cat nap in my van. It was a cold night with lots of dew. Jayven started with me around the 6:00 hr. he walked & got in peoples way & was having a hay day thinking he was hot stuff. He's so stinkin cute with all those locks of curls & those big blue eyes. It loved doing relay for life for many reasons. I  pray someday they find a cure for cancer.

Our church had their VBS last week & I volunteered to be a crew leader & I was blessed with a sweet middle school girl as a helper, & great kids. 330 kids attended & they had fun learning about how much we can "Trust God"...

This week we are moving my daughter Jenifer into our house for a month or so... She's hoping to rent the house next door to us. It will be available Aug. 1st. She has lived in a two bdrm up stairs apartment for three yrs. with no balcony or a place for the kids to play. So they always came to Gma's house or went to the park to play. I am overwhelmed with the thought of 5 people living my little 1600 square foot home with only one bathroom. I am a person that gets all worked up & forgetting who is in charge & to trust in him that things will fall into place... I wonder when I will learn that!

I can't figure out how to put pictures up on my blog... I need to blog more often....
