Hi There!
I didn't realize that I haven't posted for two weeks...I will try to catch up. Two weeks ago, Jane went with me to Draper. I had to work on Friday, so we went out on Saturday. Mom told me that they had gone to a cousins lunch on Friday. We cleaned and ate lunch and left. It was a normal trip. Did I ever tell you that I love normal trips to Draper?
We didn't go out on Sunday because there was a graduation party for Morgan (Bill's fiance). Mom and Dad were invited to the luncheon but they didn't come. I am not sure why.
This week, Dalton went with me for the trip on Friday. When we got there, Mom was asleep. I went in to the bedroom and woke her up. I was a little concerned because she doesn't normally sleep that time of day. But, she got up not too long after we got there and seemed as good as usual!
On Sunday, Bill and Morgan went with me to play cards. Mom didn't play, she was watching tv. Morgan and I won by less than 200 points. It was a close game.
Nancy - the lawn looked good. Thanks for what you and your family do!
Loves,
Karrie

Visiting Teachers
Friday I took Dalton and Nicole with me to Mom and Dad's. Lisa had her first ob appointment, she is pregnant.
When we got there, Mom's visiting teachers were there. I was introduced and sat and visited with them for a couple of minutes, then started cleaning the kitchen so that they could visit. They left after about 30 minutes. After which Mom told me that one of her visiting teachers is President Monson's cousin. Unforturnately, I can't remember her name.
I wasn't able to clean the bathrooms as usual because of Nicole. She really is too young to take out there with me unless it is an unusual circumstance. The exciting news from the doctor appointment is that, Lisa is having twins! WooHoo!
I called Mom on Saturday and let her know that we wouldn't be going out on Sunday evening. Jeff's Mom and stepdad were in town from Washington and came by our house Sunday night. That means that we haven't played hand and foot for a month. I am going through withdrawal!

Mother's Day Weekend
Hi y'all!
Dalton went with me to Draper on Friday last week. We had a good time, cleaning and visiting. The most surprising thing was that I think Spring has finally came to Salt Lake Valley. Which, leads to the account that Nancy posted on facebook that she had talked to Mom. Mom told her that Dad had fallen when he was trying to trim the rose bushes. He fell and then couldn't get up without scooting and a lot of effort. I was concerned because I didn't know why Dad could not get up.
When I was there on Sunday (Mother's Day) Mom explained that he had fallen in a place where there was nothing to grab hold of (except rose bushes) that he could pull himself up with. He had to scoot over closer to the porch so he could get hold of the rail to help himself up. I could see how that could happen, so I am not as concerned now.
On Mother's Day I was able to get most of my family to go out and visit for the holiday. Jeff, Michael, Deborah, Bill, Morgan, Lisa, Christian, Dalton and Nicole all went to Draper with me. We had a very nice time just sitting and visiting for a while. Mom seemed very happy and Dad recorded the event in his journal!
Loves to all of you,
Karrie

Life is good!
Jane and I went to Draper on Saturday this week, since I went to Women's Conference at BYU on Thursday and Friday. About the only noticeable difference was that traffic was not as bad because the construction workers had the day off!
Their neighbor, Jeannie, stopped by to say hi while I was there. We talked for a little while outside just before I left. I thanked her for taking in breakfast (she does that three days a week). She also mentioned that Dad has called her a couple of times when Mom had fallen and he couldn't get her up. I don't think that has happened for quite a while.
Today I went out by myself just for a visit. We did have a nice visit. Aunt Nola, Grandpa's youngest sister, passed away on Saturday night. Mom is still going to the pain doctor two times a week. I asked her how it was going, she said that she thinks it is helping, she is only taking about half the amount of pain medication as she used to. I have noticed that they have been out and about a lot more than usual lately - Jeannie said that they have even gone to church. That is very cool! I know that last week they went to a funeral on Friday, the Easter Egg Hunt and Barbecue on Saturday, and to my house for dinner on Sunday. That would not have happened a few months ago.
All in all, it has been a very nice weekend!
