update on our bug

I started a journal for the girls so I kindof don't blog anymore. But then people kept asking about the baby so I guess I will start and blog again

this is what Dr. Hoffman is saying about Joselynn?

Cortical Visual Impairment
Visual impairment caused by damage to the part of the brain related to vision. Although the eye is normal, the brain cannot properly process the information it receives. The degree of vision loss may be mild or severe and can vary greatly, even from day to day. Cortical visual impairment may be temporary or permanent. People with cortical visual impairment have difficulty using what their eye sees. For example, they may have trouble recognizing faces, interpreting drawings, perceiving depth, or distinguishing between background and foreground. Children with cortical visual impairment are often able to see better when told in advance what to look for. Cortical visual impairment is also known as cerebral visual impairment, neurological visual impairment, and brain-damage-related visual impairment.

Now with that we are plugging forward and trying to live as normal as we can. The girls start school in the next few weeks. It has been hard to see them growing up so fast. Joce and I will be busy working with PIP and learning a lot.

Now I am feeling it

I have not really felt like writing, although lots of things are happening and things are changing. Anyway I will be better at posting. Today I just want to post that I PASSED the National Counselor EXAM! I am so excited. So much stress was put on this test and finally I found out today that I passed. Right now I feel on top of the world.

Even the girls cheered for me. They were not sure why we were cheering but I felt loved.

My Christmas Letter

So I feel like this is the letters people get at Christmas time. Either to brag about their family or make others jealous. But since this is MY blog I will update our summer. Things have actually been going surprisingly well. I am no longer driving to Spanish Fork. Which means I have more time on my hands. This summer has flown by. But school is starting and I wanted to make sure I was a trendy mom so here is what I have done.


My tiny little dancer

Whatever she is going to be a great dancer.

Look at her skills and this is only her first day.

Before you sigh remember that I am going to have her do all the things I started and did not follow through with. Be glad pageants were not my thing.

Anyway turns out she actually loves it. Tap is first and that is probably why she loves it. I had to nicely remind her that I do support her dancing since she is 3 but I do enjoy my wood floors so practicing my not be necessary at this stage.

I also thought I would add some of our Powell trip. The girls loved the water and this trip was extraordinaryly fun.



Our Camera still sucks

This is where we left brikelle. Babysitters are hard to find in Powell

I love my skirt too bad everyone behind me could see my butt.

Elderly jokes

An elderly gentleman....

Had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%

The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, 'Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.'

The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet.

I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!'


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.

The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great.. I would recommend it very highly.'

The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'

The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?

You know... The one that's red and has thorns.'

'Do you mean a rose?'

'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.

After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.

On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.

'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember ..

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.

'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'

'Sure..'

'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.

'No, I can remember it.'

'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?'

He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.'

'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.

Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'

Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, The old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.. She stares at the plate for a moment.

'Where's my toast ?'


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:

'So I hear you're getting married?'

'Yep!'

'Do I know her?'

'Nope!'

'This woman, is she good looking?'

'Not really.'

'Is she a good cook?'

'Naw, she can't cook too well.'

'Does she have lots of money?'

'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'

'Well, then, is she good in bed?'

'I don't know.'

'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'

'Because she can still drive!'

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.

A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'

Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''

The doctor said, 'I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One more. .. ..!

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.

The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'

'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'

Now, before you 'forget', send them on to some other folks you know who could use a good laugh!!

In Memoriam
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.
