It is time again for me to ask a "favor" of all my dear friends and family. The month of November is Epilepsy Awareness Month and I am asking EVERYONE I know to PLEASE wear Purple on Fridays for the month to spread awareness..

Alan Jackson--Grandma's song
Because I didnt know how to put this on my previous post, I made 2 post.. Somewhere on my computer is the video we made for Grandma Ila, Someday I will find it and you can all enjoy it! Make sure that you pause your music to enjoy this song..
We love you Grandma Ila..
Paul's amazing mom that has FOUGHT one HELL of a fight since Toree was little, decided she had had enough with Dialysis and everything else the poor lady went through, Paul and I flew to rigby last weekend to see her and ended up getting all the arrangemeet made. And 2 days later she passed away on October 27..
If you ask Tanner she is in Heaven with Sweet Preslee riding horses, Grandma's favorite thing. But, never fear Tanner also shared with everyone that Grandma found Jesus real easy, because Preslee was there before her so she know how to get to Jesus Fast....
It was however strange to hear some of his siblings talk, Not all of them are LDS and to hear them talk about only living together until they die and NOT being together forever, Really got me pondering on the thought of how sad that is for them to feel that way.
It made me think of my sweet friends the Sullenger's (aka--Preslee's AMAZING parents) and some for the post she has put on her blog since the passing of Pres, I am so glad that I have the knowledge of knowing I will agian live with my family and that our time on earth is really nothing but a blink in time of the FOREVER we will share.. I thank the Sullenger's again for being not only My Families Rock at this time, But also the thousands of other people that have been blessed by hearing their story..
We love you Grandma Ila, have fun in heaven watching out for us EVERYDAY.. WE love you...

It was the FIRST time this EVER happen.
Well yesterday was a first for us in Wyoming....
It was the first time I ate at the Don Pedros on Front Street.
It was the first time I got to go to lunch without "MY" children in a LOOOONNNGG time.
It was also the first time I answered my phone to the Principal saying I needed to get to Tanners school ASAP and that the police were on their way.. Now to remind you all Tanner is the one that if it is during the school day and a schhol number pops up I automatically answer the phone with an I'm on my way or What did he do now...
Needless to say he cant go back to school until Thursday that will the 21st.. Yes I know.. what am I going to do??????????????? ADVICE??
A BIG thank you goes out the school though, they did an awesome job!!!!

Another wonderful day in W-Y-O...
*So I started this morning by forgetting to wake up to my alarm clock that also is Toree's alarm. *Work was insanely BUSY--(love my new job)
*Dad, Tayson, and Paul all have strep---I think it is something in the Diet Coke, they are the only3 that drink that NASTY stuff..
*It has rained since last night, so it is GLOOMY.
I'm Going to BED!!!!
GOOD NIGHT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now on to Our New Adventure!!!!!
Throughout the last 2 years my life has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, pride and disappointment. Somethings I have kept to myself and others I have shared openly with people. The one thing that I have kept to myself, with the exception of Jennie and Mom and Dad, is the fact that when I have to mark the box on Tanners paperwork that states he has a diagnoises of "MENTAL RETARDATION" about kills me.. I have come to grips with all his other diagnoises, but that gets me everytime...
I have decided once again to bite off more than I can chew.....
I want to start a Special Olympics team in Evanston.. It may take alot, but in the end I know it will be worth it..
I hope to share awareness of the need for special needs kids activities in our town.. It is a GREAT need in this area and after all the support that I found in Idaho I hope to be able to share it here.. If I cant do this I have to travel 40 miles to the "Valley" for Tanner to participate in sports. That I find hard to swollow. We can do this in Evanston I know we can!!!!!! There is no reason anyone with a special needs child should have to travel that far for their child to participate in something as awesome as SPECIAL OLYMPICS!!!!!
NOW TO SHARE THIS NEW "ADVENTURE" WITH PAUL....
WISH ME LUCK!!!!
