We were at Julies funeral when we got the news about Tamara. Tamara had her baby on Sunday at 2:37. Unfortunately I was not on the e-mail and did not hear about the baby until 8:00 A.M. I feel bad that my daughter didn't call me. I was concerned about her all night long. They we're planning to leave the hospital on Monday, but little Lillie had to be put in the NICU because of an infection. But that hospital is so messed up. They gave Tamara the wrong medication, they said her placenta was infected, came back and said it was someone else's placenta. Almost gave her the same drugs twice within a few minutes, she said she just taken them. I really wonder if her baby had an infection. They decided her bilirubin was to high and she was dehydrated. So they put a light on her, she to wear a mask. They put her on sugar water, intravenously. It is Thursday, she is off the sugar water now the light was taken off yesterday. To me they are trying to cover their own backs. I think she would have been perfectly fine coming home on Monday. These things could have been taken care of at home. The infection little Lillie supposedly has would have cleared up with Tamara nursing her. They are just trying to cover their backs. It is sad to feel a tiny baby full of antibiotics. It makes me sick. But she will be home Saturday, then Tamara will have to be patient and re-teach her how to nurse. They have been feeding her a bottle. I guess this is just hard for me to watch.
We were also called away because they told Tamara they had some bad news about her baby, so we didn't go to the grave sight. My husband and Chase gave little Lillie a blessing. We promised we would be there at 1:00.
During the viewing we heard the bad news. I was a very concerned during the funeral, but as I sat in the funeral I was pretty emotional then l suddenly had a very warm feeling Lillie would be just fine. I feel so bad about not being at the graveside service. But at this point my daughter needs me.

After a very long day at work yesterday, I came home to a great supper that my husband had made. He had been at work too, helping my son on his house, which he has done for a very long time, He has built this home from the ground up. My son works everyday so my dear husband has done a lot of the work by himself. My son has paid him, but very little for the work he has done. He has to drive to Fairview which takes a good hour and 15 minutes. I am going to be glad when this little project is over.
When I come home from work I am exhausted , so I sat down on the couch and started to watch a hallmark movie. I knew I had so much to do. Tamara came up the stairs with Chase and seemed to be going through some labor pains. They said they were headed to the hospital. She had come up this morning before I went to work, and had been having pains since 4 this morning off and on. I told her to go down stairs watch a movie or something and wait until her pains were 3 minutes apart for at least an hour. They were 3 to 5 minutes apart. She texted me at 9 and told me they had admitted her. Can't wait until it is all over for her. In the mean time I decided to clean my room out. Pulled everything out and vacuumed, dusted, washed down, cleaned off. I worked for a good 5 hours on my room. But when it was all done I felt so good and my room felt so clean. I stayed plenty busy, but unfortunately didn't get my house cleaned. My children come in on Monday. Julie Anderson my niece died on Thursday after overdosing on heroine in her parents home. Lisa and Michelle will be coming. A baby coming and a funeral to attend. Pretty crazy.

Today is my daughters birthday. She is turning 40 today. She is an incredible daughter. I am so grateful for her. I had the opportunity to travel with her to Colorado and attend my granddaughters baptism. While we were traveling I commented on the fact that I could always count on her, because I knew that from the time she was little she always told me the truth. She said "Mom it is easy to do that when your conscience eats at you if you don't". Just as Madison received the Holy Ghost when she was confirmed, my daughter has used that gift her whole life. What an amazing gift, a gift to keep us on the straight and narrow. I am so grateful for each of my children that they chose to live the gospel of Jesus Christ, and have been given that beautiful gift. What a incredible blessing in my life as well as theirs. My Brother and Sister in law just lost one of their children to a drug over dose. She was my oldest daughters age. Her life could have been so different, if she had chosen to listen to that still small voice. My heart goes out to her and her parents. We love them, they are such good people who tried to teach their daughter right from wrong. Unfortunately the pull in the other direction was just to strong.

Such amazing things have happened in the last few months. My children decided to re-do my kitchen. They talked about it for a long time ago, but we didn't feel the time was right. My husband knew that if they redid the kitchen he would need to help a lot and he wasn't quite ready to do that. But there came a time when they would not take no for any answer. The madness began. Michelle came up from St. George and her an Jennifer went to town. Pretty soon everyone was involved, Frank, me, Kimberly, Tamara, Karalee, Jennifer and Michelle. Now you and I both know that it takes the chiefs and a bunch of Indians to complete any task, and that is exactly what happened. Jennifer and Michelle were the chiefs and I am sure did plenty of the work, but the rest of us tried to help when we could. Derrick helped greatly as well. We appreciated everyone's hard work. Many hours, many sleepless nights, much sneezing, much sanding, filling and painting. After hard work for 2 months my kitchen looks beautiful. Even the counter tops were redone with beautiful quartz counter tops. Thank-you to all my children and their spouses who are very generous I have a beautiful kitchen. I can't even thank every one enough. My husband re did all the electrical fixtures, he changed the texture on the ceiling to smooth and he changed all the texture on the walls. He did a tile surround underneath the cabinets. I can't even explain what a beautiful kitchen. I lived out of boxes for a few months, it is so nice to have it back together. I have a little left to do, and a little touch up paint, but its gorgeous. Thank you once again to my very special family. I love them greatly.
