A Very Proud Mama
Levi, my oldest child, asked Saul and myself if he could talk to us after church Wednesday night (March 11, 2009). So after church Levi and Saul went for a drive for a talk. About 15 minutes later Saul came in and said Levi wants to be baptized. I was overcome with emotion. I couldn't believe this was going to happen. We all got back into the vehicle and drove down to the church building. We called one of our elders and his wife to come down to see Levi get baptized. When we arrived at the building there was still one couple still there and we asked them if they would like to stay. Saul and Levi went back and got changed into different clothes. I saw Saul walking down the stairs into the water and he was gasping like it was cold. Well turned out the heater the heats the water was not working so it was cold and the night it was in the 30's outside. So as I saw my oldest baby come down those stairs and it really hit me that my baby is not a baby anymore. Saul baptized him and I just cried like a baby. I was so proud of him. After he came out from drying off and changing I hugged him and he was crying too. I was soooo proud of him.

The Last Months Happenings
Once again I haven't posted for awhile.
Avva is doing ok. She hasn't started her shots yet. She will start them on April 5. I am looking forward for the hormal outburst from her to stop. I really do feel so bad for her. She doesn't and can't understand whats going on to her body. Hopefully the shots will work for her.
Zion got the A Honor roll again for the 4th six weeks in a row. Zion had to change teachers a week or two after they went back after Christmas break. The other 2 teachers just had too many kids in their classes. So they hired a new teacher and randomly took kids from the 2 classes. And they chose Zion. Zion's original teacher was very upset about this. She really likes Zion. He is her favorite. Zion was a little upset, but has really done well. His original teacher and I talked last week and we both have noticed some changes in him that he is kinda down and we thinks about this change. He still has her for an hour and a half a day for Spelling and Reading. It hasn't effected his grades at all which I am glad.
Levi is doing really well too. He got the A Honor roll again also for the 4th six weeks. His teacher said he is so smart. She would like for him to be tested for Gifted and Talented classes. So I am hoping that will happen soon. He just took the TAKS test yesturday. He was really excited to take it and was sure that he was going to do well. Saul and I had no worries either. Levi came home from school yesturday and said "I am sure that I aced the test".
I am not sure if the boys are going to play baseball this year. They have both said that they don't want to. You never know they may change their minds when sign up time comes.
As for me...well....I started a job at the post office. I clean it Monday thru Friday. I do enjoy it. I have been working there just almost a month. I am also cleaning my bosses house every other Friday. I also clean a beauty salon here in town. I have done that for about 9 months now.
I did something that I am still can't believe that I had the nerve to do. I have had a dream to be on The Biggest Loser. Yah I know that sounds strange, but I have tried so many times to try to lose this weight on my own and I can't seem to do it. I have lost some, but I still have ALOT to go. I saw a couple a weeks ago the there was a casting call for The Biggest Loser in Dallas, TX on Feb 28 at Dave and Busters. So I decided to try. Myself and a friend went and stood in the FREEZING COLD for 4 1/2 hours til we were let thru the door. We were let in by groups of 30. We got in and they told us to eat or play the games til our group number was called. Finally after a hour and half waiting patiently and nervously our group was called. We were broken into groups of 10. We were put around a table facing a producer for the Biggest Loser. He(DJ was his name)went around the table and had us tell him and the others our name, age, occupation and where we were from. Then when we were done he asked us why we wanted to be on The Biggest Loser. There was a 400 and something pound lady that wanted to lose weight so she could be a stripping pole dancer. Our and DJ's jaw just dropped. DJ said he had never responded with that answer. Anyway, when it came to me I was so nervous I almost froze. I had rehearsed in my mind all morning what I was goin to say. Guess what I didn't say anything even close to what I was going to say. After everyone responded DJ said that if we were going to get a call back that we would get it that night by 11 pm. If we don't he said if you still want this then send him a video tape of our reason for wanting this oppurtunity. I didn't get a call back so this week I am going to make a tape. If I still don't make it then I will at least know that I tried. This is an experience that I will never forget. And I am very appreciated to my friend that went with me and stood in the cold and shared the experience with me. I will never forget her for that.
Sorry no pictures this time.
