Wayne & Sheryl Family Update 4/29/09

Wayne & Sheryl Family Update 4/29/09

I enjoyed attending a Women's Retreat in Island Park during the weekend. It was fun to get away from the stresses of every day life and just spend some time laughing, playing and resting. They developed a team for Relay for Life, calling themselves "The Sisterhood of the Groveland Ya Yas" They are excited to help with the American Cancer Society event and to raise funds for the ACS. I am also extremely excited to have my sister, Shelly and her 6 month old baby girl Violet come to see us this weekend. She will arrive just in time to help with Prom Dinner. Riley even e-mailed her and asked her to help. :)

Wayne has been busy as ever with work and seems to be "cured" of his sleep apnea. He's so quiet now, that I have to "poke" him once in a while just to make sure he's breathing. Kind of like we do with our newborn babies.

Shelby is looking for a job change and has applied for jobs in Shelley and Idaho Falls. He is anxious to get out on his own. We encourage him as he makes good decisions, but worry about him just the same. The changes in his attitude and maturity level have increased so much over the last year, that it's hard to believe he's the same young man who graduated a year ago.

Savannah is in finals week at USU. She comes home Friday for about a week to take care of some administrative things before she returns to Logan in hopes of working and living there during the summer and earn her Utah residency which will help with tuition costs. We are looking forward to seeing her again soon and hope that her finals go well. She too has made some adjustments in her life that we are impressed with.

Riley. What do I say about Riley. He wanted his driver's license and he worked his tail end off to study and earn the money for the licence and his insurance. Oh and he got a cell phone recently too. This week is prom and he was nominated for Prom Royalty. He is excited about that and about the pretty girl he's taking. He and his date and another couple are having Prom Dinner at our house, so I get to play host. :) Riley has been extremely busy with school, track, and his "pan-handling" jobs. Every time I turn around he's got another "gig" to earn money. He's helped Grandpa with the Canal, Glenn & Shannon w/ deilveries, mowing lawns and working for a gentleman in our ward on an as-needed basis. It is good to see him work so hard to make the things happen that are important to him.

Cammie also keeps busy with school and spending time with her friends. She, as well as her brothers, have been big assets to me around the house as we prepare for spring. Cammie to has a knack for finding ways to earn some money when she has a want or need for something that costs a little extra. Cammie is also extremely excited to see her Aunt Shelly and new cousin Violet.

Well, that's all for now. Or at least as much as I can think of. I hope that it makes sense. With this med's, sometimes my brain doesn't think as well as I'm use to.

Our love to you all. Wayne, Sheryl & the kids.
