Happy Birthday Christy

Christy turned nine years old today!!! I think she had a pretty good birthday. I took cupcakes to her school class. We opened presents, she got her very own birthday cupcake and we went to dinner at Red Robin.

Spoiled girl.

Christy was defiantly spoiled on her Birthday.

Christy received a birthday card from Aunt Sarah, many phone calls and many gifts. She got clothes, Rollerblades, an I Tunes gift card, money and two new DS games.

Blinds 1 - Christy 0

Thursday night was ward Temple night. Kassidy from our ward came over to watch Christy. Christy really likes Kassidy and she does a good job watching Christy. Anyways when we came home from the Temple Kassidy told me that Christy had an accident. We have the blinds in our dining room that are broken. They don't twist open so to have light come thru the window we have to raise the blinds. Anyways the trim at the top of the blinds is loose and continually falls when we raise and lower the blinds. Mom can attest to this, she got hit with the trim while she was here visiting. Anyways Christy was closing the blinds and the trim fell off an knocked her in the head pretty good. Kassidy cleaned up the blood and put some ice on Christy's head. Christy seemed okay when we got home so I put her to bed. Friday I took her to school. After about an hour the school called and said that Christy was complaining she was dizzy and had a headache. I called our family doctor and she said to take Christy to the ER. Nothing serious was wrong, they told me to watch her and gave her some Tylenol for her headache. After leaving the ER we drove to our housing office and showed them what the blinds did and I requested they come and replace the blinds and fix others in our house that do the same thing.

This week at school is Spirit week. Monday was crazy hair day. So Christy has a tree in her hair and an origami bird.

Friday for our anniversary David and I went to the Medival Feast in Buena Park. Wendy babysat Christy for us. David and I had a good time. The only bad thing was eating the meat. They bring you out a huge piece of chicken with the skin still on and lots of bones in it. David had to help me get all the meat off so I could eat. He's such a great guy. Thanks Wendy for babysitting!!

Christy started seeing her new counselor and she likes her. I was called to be an assistant to the achievement day leader in our ward. Christy isn't to keen on me being there with her though. Yesterday I had the worst migraine. I took 1600mg of Ibuprofen and two Zomigs. I finally felt better about 7:30 last night.

Where do all my days go?

I feel like the time is just flying by and I feel like I have accomplished little. I haven't been feeling the best lately. For a while my headaches were almost gone. Now they are back with a vengeance. For the past week I have had pretty severe ones. Saturday we took Shadow home. That is always such along drive and with my headache it made the trip ten times worse. It is so hard to be in the car for ten hours with children and a headache. Monday David only had to go to PT then he had the rest of the day off. It was so nice to spend the day with him. We did some shopping and went to lunch. Yesterday I met with Christy's new counselor. I am excited for Christy to start seeing her. I really feel like she will help Christy. She has so many new and different ideas than Dr. Hall. Since we have moved into this ward neither David or I have received callings. I love being able to attend Sunday School with David. A few weeks ago David and I were supposed to meet with the first counselor before church. David went to that meeting but I was not feeling well so I didn't go. They wanted to ask David and I to be the primary teachers for the 11 year olds. But I guess since I wasn't with David and a man alone cannot be a primary teacher they asked another couple to be the teachers. To be honest I was relieved. I am not a big fan of teaching primary. Even if it would mean spending all three hours of church with David. I really enjoy Relief Society. Everytime my Visiting Teacher comes she asks me if I have a calling and I say no. Then she asks if I want to teach Primary and I say no. So for the last few days I have been thinking how fun it would be to be an achievement day leader. I was thinking that that would be a calling that I think I would enjoy even though Christy is in achievement days and the one time I went she let me know that she hated when I was with her at things like that. Anyways last night I had an interview with the Bishop to renew my Temple recommend and before I left he asked me if I would be an assistant achievement day leader. I told him that I would love too but I was not sure how Christy would feel. I let him know what she had said and he laughed. He said he really feels like it will be a good experience for me and Christy. I am excited about this calling. Tonight I meet with a member of the stake presidency to finish getting my Temple recommend and then Thursday evening is ward Temple night and we are lucky enough to have a sitter. I am looking forward to going to the Temple as I always do and the best part is that I get to be there with David. David is doing well in school. He is really good and has a lot of talent. David and I added a little extra stress to our lives by going to see a lawyer to revise some of his divorce decree. Hopefully though this stress we are having now will eliminate most of the stress we have in our relationship with regards to his ex wife and visitation. This past week i have also been thinking about family and how grateful I am for all mine and David's family both immediate and extended. We have received so much from our families. On Monday as David and I were driving thru Point Loma I was looking at the homeless people and just thinking that I know that we will never be in that position. Besides that fact that both David and I are capable and have the skills to work we also know that if something were to happen that we both have families that we know would be there to support us and help us in anyway they could. I am so grateful to know that we have Eternal families and that we have the gospel in our lives. Even if we don't have much in the way of material things and we have don't have a whole lot of money we have family. I am looking forward to the day that David and I can enter the Temple and be sealed. I know that I want to be with David forever! As Fathers Day is fast approaching I can't think of any one gift that would be able to appropriately express my love and gratitude to both my earthy father and my Father in Heaven. I posted on my face book a few days ago that I have the worlds best dad. I have the worlds best parents. I wish that I knew how to let them know how much I really do appreciate and love them and i just feel like words are not enough. I know that my life would not be anywhere as good as it is today if I didn't have the parents that I have! I am so grateful for the love that they give to all of us kids even if at the moment we don't deserve it. I can't wait until August so that as a family we can attend the Beasley Family reunion. I am greatly looking forward to that. I better stop before I start crying :)

What a day

Today has been a very long day. Christy and Shadow were up really early this morning. Once they get up I can't go back to sleep. Today was the short day at school. On Wednesdays after school I babysit a brother and sister for two hours. Today Christy started Mad Science Club so Shadow and I walked to school at 11:40 to pick up the kids I babysit. We walked home they played for an hour then we walked back to school to pick up Christy from mad science. On the way home I got stung by a bee on the bottom of my foot. This was my first time being stung. It hurt so bad. It's still tender! The kids I babysit mom got stuck somewhere and the kids brother didn't pick them up till after four. Usually the mom picks them up at two. It was a long afternoon. Tonight David had class. It seems that the evenings that David has class drag on and on. But on a good note! The OB office that I have now been referred to called today and set me up for an appointment. The first opening wasn't until the end of July but at least now I have an appointment set up. It's only 8pm and I still have three or four hours till I lay down and try to sleep!

Memorial Day Weekend

The pictures are not in order. Sorry! We had a really good holiday weekend. Friday after David got off work we went to the ward BBQ. There was teriyaki chicken, grilled pineapple and desserts. We had an ok time. Friday night Dean, Ann and Shadow got to our house. Saturday morning the girls were up at 5:30 am. No one could sleep after that. Grandma and Papa Bealsey got to our house around 7am. We had a really yummy breakfast. Then we all went on a walk. Then we went to the library then to Deseret Book to get brand new scriptures for Christy. We went swimming for about an hour then we all came home to get ready for the baptism. A little before two we all went to the church for the baptism. Grandma Bushar played the piano, Grandma Beasley and Grandpa Bushar said the prayers. Mom talked on baptism and Grandpa Beasley gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. Christy was baptized by David and confirmed by Grandpa Beasley. It was a very spiritual baptism. Saturday evening we played games and hung out. Sunday we all went to church. After church Grandma and Papa left. Monday morning the Bushars went home. We went hiking in Mission Valley Regional Park in the morning. There are lots of trails there and a place to camp. Monday afternoon we went swimming. For sinner we had homemade pizza. It was overall a very good weekend!
