I woke up at 1 AM not feeling well and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I eventually got up at 3 AM and decided to do som work on the computer. I got all ready to leave for work around 6:30, but then I just decided I was too tired to drive so I worked from home. It was kind of funny because I didn’t bother to tell Rachel. She was pretty shocked when she walked into my office around 10 AM and saw me sitting at my desk. It also allowed me...

We played our second tournament game tonight. We started out great. We made some great plays in the infield to get 3 quick outs. Unfortunately, we also didn’t score any runs in the first inning. In the second inning the other team scored about 4 runs and our team really got down. I had to remind them that baseball was fun. We ended up playing 5 innings. By the 5th inning we were down 9 runs so I put in all the little kids in the infield...

I have been coaching Gehrig’s little leage team this year. We put Gehrig & Brigham on the same team and Cade has been coaching with me. It’s been a fun season. It is machine pitch. It is a bit more competative than t-ball becase the kids can strike out and get runners out in the field, but there is a limit of 5 runs per inning, everybody bats, & you can have four outfielders. We have 13 kids on our team and the fewest we have...

We had stake conference today. I was reminded of the importance of recognizing tender mercies and writing in a journal on a daily basis. I have set a goal to begin writing daily again. A number of things have happened since I last wrote. I guess the biggest change in our lives is that we moved to a new house. We actually moved within our own ward. We bought a bigger house that had been vacance since we moved into our last home. It is about...

This morning Gracie was so tired and weak when she woke up that Rachel had to help her get dressed. She got really concerned because of how skinny Gracie was looking. She you can really see her bones in her shoulders and back now. She called the doctor and scheduled an appointment and I decided to work from home so I could watch the boys while they went to her appointment. I got a phone call from Rachel saying that Gracie had been diagnosed with...

I keep telling myself I’m going to start writing in my journal every night again, then I forgot when night comes around. Well, it’s 11:15 and I just remembered. Today was fast Sunday. I haven’t really fasted a full 24 hours since my whole cancer ordeal. Today I fasted for about 19 hours and it was no problem at all. Last week when our home teachers came I asked for a priesthood blessing so that I could continue to take Gleevec...

Yesterday we really wanted to get out of the house and do something fun. We decided to take the kids bowling. We went to Fat Cats in Provo. It was a lot of fun. We ordered lunch there. One mistake we did make was paying for two games. We were tired and full after the first game. It takes a while to get through a game with 3 small kids bowling. Today after church our home teachers came. It was fun having them visit and this was the first time I...
