March 2013

This month is a busy one for Cooper, seems like she has something every day.

The girls have Tap Group for competition rehearsals.

Cooper is continuing her voice lessons.

Dr, Holick has decided that Cymbre might benefit from doing physical therapy for her headaches, so I am trying to get that set up for her.  They have a migraine therapist at Texas Children's, so we will see how long it takes to get a time to see him.   Maybe this will help!

We went to her physical therapy evaluation, and the man, Brian Scully, has said he can try to help Cymbre.  We set up therapy once a week for 12 weeks,, then evaluate to see where we stand.

Cooper seems to be teaching for Traci, Amy, and Andee on a more regular basis.  It's ok, she can use the money.

The girls have Spring Bread, but we are just sticking around home this year.  With therapy and such, we just aren't able to get away right now.

Cooper and Bella Cruz went to the Maroon 5 concert and had a great time.

Guy spent some time in La Jolla, California on business.

I enjoyed going to lunch with my visiting teachers and the other ladies they visit.  We sort of made a lunch group visit out of it, and we all enjoy it.

Solo and ballet privates continue weekly.

My face is still numb from the oral surgery last month...it get's old really fast.  Just saying!

We are having some new windows put in to replace the worn out ones we have and a broken one upstairs.  That's always such a mess!

The girls had Youth Conference.  They went to San Antonio to the temple and stayed at a ranch out there.  They spent some time in an old folks home putting together family history binders for the people, and both girls say they had a great time.

I took the girls to the Young Women's Broadcast, and then we went over to Maren Pearson's surprise baby shower.  She was surprised, and we enjoyed visiting with some friends there.

Cymbre's headaches are still a daily occurrence, and we are hoping this medicine will kick in son and start making a different.  She's missing seminary and school almost daily.

In Sunday School we did a few things of note:



the 16th was How Can Relying On The Savior's Grace Help Me Become A Better Teacher?

The object lesson was a broken clay pot....The Savior used us even with all our flaws to grow a thing of beauty.  Just like the clay pot will still grow beautiful flowers, the Savior uses us for His purposes.



the 22, How Can The Book Of Mormon Help Me Strengthen My Faith In The Atonement Of Jesus Christ?



I gave them a Meaning Of Easter FHE lesson to share with their families.  It contained scriptures and a carton of plastic eggs containing this of the Savior in each one.  Things like a cross, crown of thorns, etc.



The class obviously loved that one, as several parents emailed to comment on the wonderful FHE they had had from what the kids had brought home.



The 30th was How Can I Use Comparisons To Teach Others About The Atonement?



For this one I took all kinds of household objects and we discussed how we could use that object to teach someone about the Atonement.





For their treat I took Peeps Smores.  Then I found them in the kitchen using the microwave to make them before YM/YW.

Get out and find someone who needs you to serve them.

Love you.
