As I Have Loved You!

This day did not start off well, and I mean from 12:00 am and thru the night and so far today! I had a very hard time getting any sleep last night for some reason or another! I would like to blame it on everyone else but... I think that due to lack of sleep and some very stressful days in the past week, and a some what hard heart, I have to admit that I am sure I am to blame for my own stress!

We got up at 5:00 am so that Tom and the boys could go to priesthood and then they came home and had french toast! Then we all got ready again to go to church at 9:00am because our ward is splitting and Tom said hat we needed to be there by nine! So I got to church first and realized that there was another ward already in the chapel so it did not take any time to figure out that Tom had the wrong time! I wondered why we were to meet at nine and not ten our normal time but did not question it be cause Tom is on the High Counsel and I thought he would of know this! But NO!

Some time I think that we just listen to what we want to listen to!
We do not hear what is important for our own self , and that is to help others, speak kind words and serve! We do not hear the promptings of the Lord due to worldly things that are not important! I know that this is true because my most unhappy times is when I am not serving someone else or thinking about what I could do to cheer someone up! I wish I could be a kinder person and not let little things get in the way of my Eternal progression! I love to do for others and I know that is what makes me happy! I love to make others laugh and feel happy but... for some reason right now that is hard for me to do. I feel like I am being tried right now for some reason, and I am not sure what I am to be learning right now but what ever it is I am just not getting it!

So today again I will ask the Lord to take this day for me and I will try harder tomorrow to be who He wants me to be! I am thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who loves me so much that He sent His Son for me so I can continue on this journey here and learn to be more like my Older Brother Jesus Christ! I also pray that some day when the time come I will be able to return to live with A Heavenly Father who knows me and who loves me and will welcome me Home someday, and say Job Well Done!

Back to Wrestling!

Rhett had a four school dual at Seton High!

He wrestled very tuff and won all three of his matches! It is exciting regions is in two weeks and then on to state we hope!

Rhett match against the Seton boy was intense! The Seton boy is their number one wrestlers! He was huge! Rhett did not pin him but.... beat him by 12 points! It was a great match and so very exciting! We will miss wrestling when it is over! I also know Rhett will miss all the brotherly advise from Walker! After every match Rhett goes to his coaches to hear what they have to say about the way he wrestled and then always finds his big bother Walker to hear what he has to say and to see what he could of or should of done!

Rhett we as your family love you ever so much and are very proud !

I can't wait until one of my little grand sons can start to wrestle! It will be so fun to watch! Gavin has already been to a wrestling camp at the age of 7!! I think that Vance would make a great wrestler! He is a strong, tuff little boy! We needs to just get some weight on him! And Vance needs to save all of his moves for the mat and not his little brother! Only time will tell who are going to be my wrestlers! I hope I am around when that time comes and I say that because...

I had to go to the hospital today to have an infusion for almost 5 hours! I got so sick and could not keep anything down! As I looked around the Out Patient Treatment Center, most people there had some one with them and I wondered if things would be easier if I had someone with me to distract me a little! I never want anyone to go with me but... I did have that thought today!

As soon as i got home I took a very warm shower and went to my bed for awhile. I am sure I will not feel much better in the morning but in the long and short of it I am so very blessed in so many ways! At least I can drive my self!

Jake, Are You Kidding Me!!!!

So last night was Monday night and for anyone one that knows the Scheurns, you would know it is the night our favorite show comes on "The Bachelor"!
What a stressful night!
Jake are you kidding us! You kept Vianna and we all know she is wrong for you! She is a waste of your time and if you would of only listen to us you would know!
I think Jake should pick Allie but, Rhett may be right and Jake should pick Gia! Jake had a one on one date with Gia last night and let me tell you it was for sure "ONE ON ONE"! Go Jake!
Rhett called it before the end of the show last night that Jake was going to keep Vianna! She is a TRAMP! But for some reason Jake kind of likes her! We do not think he will pick her to marry her but he is keeping her on the back burner for some reason!
Eric was sad to see Ashliegh go and Tom is still on the fence who Jake should pick!
Tom, Rhett, Eric and I went to dinner before we watched the show and we recorded it!
Walker and Joe watched the show together last night before we did and Walker came home and was going to tell us all what happened! We all just about threatened him with his life if he told us what had happened! He didn't spoil it for us and that was a good thing for him!

Crispy Apples and Apple Juice!

Every since Rhett has been a little boy he has loved going to Cita's house! He always knows that Cita will have the best apples and apple juice!
While Tom and Joe and Walker went skiing, Rhett, Eric and I stopped by Cita's house! And yes Cita had a puzzle on the card table that her and Aunt Madge had been working on! So Rhett sat down at the puzzle and before we knew it the 750 piece puzzle was down! Opa!!!!!!
As the boys worked on the puzzle, of course Cita waited on the boys hand and foot, and I mean foot because her feet have so much pain in them!
Rhett told me that for some reason apples at Cita's are always the best! Nice and crisp and the juice is always so sweet!
Rhett has always been close to Cita! Cita took care of Rhett quite often as a little boy as I went to school and worked! Rhett has many great memories from Citas house! Rhett also loves Cita's simply sauce for his noodles and loved to go to the small outside refrigerator to get a cold soda!
To this day Rhett still loves these thing when he is at Cita's house!
We are all thankful for Cita and all the love and support she gives our family! we appreciate and love her more than she knows!

The calm before the storm if that is what you want to call it that!

It has been raining all week and today it has not stop! We are now having tornato watches and were told to go into the basment if you have one! Thankfully we have one! Rhett has the Tim Van Horn tournament tomorrow in Payson and it is now 10:00 pm and we still do not know if the roads will be open in the early morning hours to go so.... Rhett might not end up wrestling this weekend! I will let you know!

Tom and i went to a High Counsel dinner tonight at the church. I was our yearly dinner President Pugmire has for the Stake Pres. and the 12 high counselors! We enjoyed our self but coming out of the church in the storm was a little scary! 1-21-10

Brotherly Advise!

Rhett talking with Walker and Eric after his dual at A.J. I am sure Rhett does not want to hear what they have to say!

Cute Boys!

Eric and Walker giving Rhett some tips after his matches! I feel sure that Rhett does not want to hear what they have to say after his last match wth Mingus!

Deana !

Deana and her sons Jay and Randy have played football and wrestled with Rhett and Walker all through high school! I will miss her and her husband Randy Senior since this will be our last year of high school sports! Deana and her family are so fun and loving! We only hope that during regions and state it gets over at night before 8:59 because Randy go to sleep at that exact time everynight and we do not want to have to carry him to the hotel! Go Blackhawks!

Rhett In Deep Thought!

Wrestling Season Is Here!

We all love to watch Rhett Wrestle! He has started off with a bang! Right now he is 3rd in our 4a division 2 region! As you can see we all love to go support him! I not quite sure if the grandkids like the snacks or watching Rhett the most! Rhett has lost few and is out to pin the 171 lb from Tempe High! Rhett has wrestled twice in the 189 lb class this year even though he weighs 168, and won both of those matches!
Rhett's coaches say he is the strongest kid on the team but he needs to get that in his head to beat Tempe! I not sure who gets the most excited about Rhetts wrestling either Rhett, Walker, Eric our exchange student or Tom! I tell you as a mom it is stressfull to watch your kid wrestle! We have two new coaches this year who remember Walker from his wrestling years for Higley High! Our coaches this year came from Fountain Hills and have been state champions! They are great Coaches, I wish they could of had them all four years! Coach Ford and Coach Trulson!
So far he has had many duals between schools and at the Cactus tournament there were 18 schools and Rhett took second and at the A. J. tournament he took thrird out of 14 schools! He is wrestling in the 171 lb weight class! He wrestled yesterday and it was a four way dual and he won in both weight classes by pins! Rhett will wrestle in the 171 wieght class for regions and state! He is looking forward winning regions and is looking forward to state! He still has four weeks of duals and tournaments before region and state!
Rhett takes after his dad when it comes to his build and strength and is so close to his dad, and i am sure thankful to get his ads genes!
We are excited to see how the year ends up but... sad to say that this is our last of high school wrestling. We will miss it alot!

"A Small Piece of Heaven"

Last week was a busy week, but a fun one! The Williams invited Tom and me to go to Mexico with them on a quick trip! We left Monday and came home Wednesday night!
We had a great trip on the drive down there! The sun was setting and the mountains were just beautiful! We stop at the border and ate at Eric's favorite taco stand named Ables! It is now my favorite taco stand! It hit the spot and then we were back on the road to their condo about an hour away!
The first stop we stop at before going to the condo in Rocky Point was the candy store to get bottle coke for our special treat! Nothing better than a glass bottle of Mexican coke-cola!
And then of course we had something more to eat and got to the the condo to watch the Bachelor first episode! We all are still trying to figure out why the bachelor kept the the weird girl that say she knew that she was in love on the first episode! She is crazy and we all are deciding we will not continue to watch the show and support dumb decisions! (i can tell you now I will watch the whole season)!
We had a great night sleep and we awoke to our beautiful fresh fruit that Tom and Eric went out to get for Monya and me! and then the action started! Monya and I drop Tom and Eric off at the golf course and Monya and I went into town and did a little shopping! We ate lunch at a place called Lucas's and it was so clean and the awesome cool breeze that we had was so refreshing! The food was to die for and Monya and I just enjoyed visiting and relaxing! And then back to the condo! When we got back to the condo Monya and I decided to take a walk on the beach! It was so beautiful the water was so clear and it was pretty warm, so we walk about a mile in the surf. With the breeze blowing in our face I looked at Monya and told her this has to be a "Small Piece of Heaven"! It was such a blessing we had the strength to walk in such calm beautiful, peaceful setting! My favorite part of the trip!
When we got back to the condo we decided we would let our creative juices flow and we tie dyed t-shirts It was a blast! We had the music going and we just sang , tie dye t-shirts! We had so much fun and then the boys came home and of course Tom seemed to think he needed to let his creative juices flow as well ! It was the wars of tie dying to see whose was the best we came to the conclusion they all were good! I even tie dyed onies for Grey,Gwen and Gage!
We took the time to go back down to the beach as the sun was setting and we had so much fun taking pictures! We laughed and laugh as we thought we were somone important on the beach! We stopped by the hot tub where we met a very odd man! Monya and I were still laughing so hard because this guy thought he was so cool! Tom and Eric were posing like they were models so... we took more funny pictures! Us girls couldn't take this guy any more so we left and the men stayed for a while longer!
And by then of course it was time to eat, because it seems when we are in Mexico the main focus is food! We had the best lime-ade that night and of course thrifty ended the night! And again a great night sleep and Eric and Tom got another 12 holes of golf in the next morning and Monya had one quick walk on the beach and we packed up and headed home! BUT.... before we got on the road , back to the candy store to load up on soda and plastic goods!
And again by the time we got to the border it was time to eat again of course, and back to Ables for some more GREAT tacos!
What a great few days! We are so thankful for the fun safe quick trip we had, and we are so thankful for Monya and Eric for inviting us to share in a "Small Piece of Heaven!

2010 Happy New Years!

2009 is now over! And Ican say I am thankful but have to say we also were so blessed through out the last year!
In 2009 we completed our home on Fairview only to have to sell it but.... We were so blessed to sell it so quick! Tom put two years into building it. Tom worked on that house every day and so my heart hurts for him but it was a learning time for us! I think if we can stay together through building a home we can get thru anything! Also the car business has been so slow but again we were blessed that Tom was selling Hyundias during this time! I also never take health for granite Tom has stayed healthy and strong! I hope in the year to come Tom can get a little more time off and have a chance to enjoy doing some of the things he likes to do! That would be his quad, horse and maybe a few rounds of golf! Although he still has to talk once a month at church due to the fact that he is on the High Counsel, but with the house being sold he will not have to cram to get his talk done for the month! We are so thankful for the Honorable Priesthood that he holds and thankful for the way he uses it to bless our lifes!
This has been a difficult time for some of our kids but it also ahas been a learning time as well. It is so hard to watch any of your kids struggle but I think it can only made their family stronger if they will let it!
We got a new addition to our family in September by the name of Bennett Grey! He was born 2 months early and was in the hospital for 5 weeks but he is a fighter and thankfully he is now almost four months old and finally he weighs 9 pounds! That makes ten grand kids for us now! WOW!
In 2009 we were able to take in a foreign exchange student by the name of, Eric Kintish! He has brought alot of fun and love and laughter into our home! You never know what he will say! It has been great for Rhett to have a younger like bother and they have such a great time together!
Rhett had a great football season and worked hard to get a starting position on the team as a defensive end! Their team were nine and one! He is now in wrestling season and doing well! He wrestles 171 weight class and is in great shape! He can run a 11 minute 2 mile! He is built just like his dad! Rhett has told us that he would like to serve a full time mission this year so he will be on a mission at this time next year!
Walker is on his way in school! He has been home from his mission for almost two years and is now thinking he will get his degree in nursing and then maybe he can get on with he fire department! That is what he really wants to do! We enjoy Walker ever so much and know what ever he decide to do will be the right thing for him!
With Posey moving to Indiana this last year has been hard but I think we both have grown thru her move! She really had to rely on the Lord being in Indiana without family there. And with Health problems it has been hard on her! I was able to go help her three times in the past year but I miss her alot! She now has 3 little boys and her hands are full!
Joe and Erin continue to use Love and Logic on their kids and has had fun taking a few family trips this year! I think Erin and Joe need to have another baby but who knows if that will happen! Their little Emma is so motherly and she helps her mom alot even tho she is only 5 years old!
Blake and Tanya now have four kids and they stay busy! Tanya has picked up a few more days at work due to the car business not being so good! I think that they are looking forward to a new year! Baby Gage is so cute and is huge for his age, he is now one year old and keeps everyone hopping! Lucy gave Elli a haircut that Tanya was not to happy about! But all in all they are doing well!
As for me well this last year, 09 I am happy to get it behind me! I have had to have a power port put in my chest and and have infusions every week for the last several months! But on the other hand i am so thankful that all that I have gone through I can still get out of the house and go visit Genell in the nursing home, go with Monya to get her treatments, continue with my calling as a Agency Rep for Family service and enjoy the grand kids and still have date night with Tom!
I have so many things to be thankful for! I am so thankful for Tom, Our kids, grand kids! I am thankful for a Father in Heaven that knows me and loves me and a Savior that gave His life for me to have Eternal life with my family! I am thankful for those who are fighting for my freedom and for Myles Fattaleh and all the other missionaries that are serving people all over this world!
It is my prayer that this year I will try harder to be a better person in all ways!
I am ready for 2010!!!!!!
