The Return of a Blogger

Rob's my #1 Angel

Lana hanging out with the dogs. I am "leader of the little pack." May teach school come fall. Signed up to go to the University with Weston, if no job. The CNA wasn't for me--changing adult diapers--NO CAN DO IT!, and Phelbotomy --same thing. So moving onto a second Bachelor's of Psychology. Already with quite a few courses completed.

Trevor and Brianna --pure delight shines from their presence. Working, loving, schooling, all that fun new stuff. (Notice how beautiful Brianna's natural rosie cheeks are, they are delightful.) I call her, Lil Rosie Cheeks.

Weston has a 4 year supply of soda @ the side of his bed, "Mom , it was a great buy; puchase 1 get 3 free (those 24 packs)," okie dokie! Good job my boy:) Working full-time at Deseret. Starts on his 5 years Master track in Computer Science August 23. The guy is going places.

Bridget."Beauty of the Valley" as nicknamed by my late sister Leesa, many years ago, spent her sweet 16 birthday in Utah.

VERL ORME REUNION--Looking forward to it!

*Now try to figure out how to post a photo...face book is much easier for photo posting--at least in my case:)
Toodle Lou:) Love, Lana

Happy Memorial Day!

Remembering, with supreme and reverent gratitude, those whose lives have been changed by their service to country -- and the families of those who never returned. May God bless and assist those (and their families) who are honorably serving now.
We had an enjoyable weekend...

Weston graduated from high school on Thursday - well done son! A wet and rainy ceremony - but what does that matter when you're finally done with school !?! ...at least for the moment. He's looking for career suggestions. He has the Stake Youth Pioneer Trek in Prescott, later this week. ...and then we have the annual Orme Brother's hike up in Utah this year next month.

Trevor surprised us all by secretly flying in from Columbus, OH for Weston's graduation. And coincidentally (or not so,) Trevor's girlfriend (Jasmine) came to town with her roommate for the holiday weekend. Jason (nephew) and his lovely wife were also in town. So we called Jenny (niece) and got together for an afternoon. Sorry no photos -- we were too busy visiting and grilling Jasmine.
.
Bridget had a great year at school – tennis team, track (won City) and friends-o-plenty. She is 'coming into her own' as they say, and looking forward to high school next year. She will be running in the Wasatch Back (180 mile, 24-hour relay race from Logan to Park City) June 18 & 19 with Lana’s sister, Lori, and a team of runners from her office. 8-person teams, each person runs 4 legs of 4~8 miles each, taking naps in the team van between turns. I hear that it’s a blast (if you’re a runner of course.) Then she is going to EFY (in Flagstaff) with friends the following week.
.
Lana completed her Certified Nursing Assistant class, but has discovered that she can't bring herself to enjoy changing adult diapers, giving sponge baths to perfect strangers and some of the other tasks that are typical CNA duties. She has also postponed her phlebotomy course, hoping that she will be offered a full time teaching position for the upcoming school year.

Oh, and the chihuahuas returned home to Florida (thank goodness!)

Pat's Run

Weston, Bridget and I did Pat’s Run yesterday -- 4.2 mile run/walk to commemorate Pat Tillman – a football player who played for ASU (his number was ‘42’ – thus 4.2 miles) and the AZ Cardinals. After the events of 9/11, he was offered a multi-million dollar contract with the Cardinals, but turned it down in order to join the Army and was killed in Afghanistan.

The run started on a street outside the stadium, went around town for a bit then ended on the 42 yard line in Sun Devil Stadium. 20,000 signed up to run (or walk.) Bridget beat both of us by a long shot and she was taking it easy since she has two track meets next week. …but I beat my goal of coming in 6,800th place (I came in 6,799th place.) Actually, my goal was just to finish under an hour and my time was 43:35. Not great I know, but I didn’t collapse and my knee didn’t swell up, so I’m pleased.

Where's Weston?? Can you find him at the finish line?
