The Party Has Just Begun

 

The picture above is of Kylee Adamson.. Last night was really fun. We ate dinner and then we played some games like Sorry, and air hockey and Uno and a little bit of apples to apples. I even got to sing Kylee's mom You Are My Sunshine. It was sweet because her father used to sing that to her before he died so it was good to bring that memory back into her life. Yeah, I am sweet.

Kylee has been one of the peer tutors in our special ed class. She is the one that taught us the Manhawk dance. We all love her! She graduates this week and we'll miss her.

 

Here's the gang eating BBQ and chips.

 

Kylee is teaching me how to do the cup song from Pitch Perfect.

I finally got it and they all cheered. Kylee, Tommy and Tanner are with me.

This is Tanner Thorpe. We have been friends since 7th grade. We have a good time together.

This was the sweetest night ever! It was fun to hang out with good friends.

Homecoming Dance

Well, Homecoming 2012 has come and gone.  According to Ammon, he had a great time.  Amelia is very tall and to quote Ammon, "She has stilettos on."  Where did he learn that word anyway? Her parents delivered her to our house where we visited for a little while and then Jim and I took the kids down to Salem where they were meeting up with 4 or 5 other couples. (Four of the boys were priests in Ammon's priest quorum.)  When they were done eating, they called us and Jim went down and picked them up and delivered them to the dance. After the dance was over, Jim went down and picked them up and took Amelia home.  It took some work to get all the details figured out, but we got it done.  (Thanks to Jim for all his hard work today to help make this a success.)

(This first picture is focused very well.)

 This is the corsage that Campus Floral made and I think it was one of my all-time favorite ones.

 This was Ammon after he came home. I said, "How was the dance?" He answered below with his arms spread out wide, "IT WAS AWESOME!"

A big day

Today It was a normal day I got to go to my first club. Yesterday Saturday I get to go To Homecoming and Next Wednesday is My concert  And it is also general conference Saturday and sunday and Speaking of Homecoming We will first Get to Eat at my place And Then When We get There We will Get To Dance And Then get Our pictures Taken Its going to be so much fun.

Thursday's Heroes 2012

Ammon got to go to BYU Thursday's Heroes Reunion tonight. It was blazing hot but we had a great time anyway.

Coach Mendenhall knew who Ammon was as soon as he saw him.

 Ammon's explaining how he broke his arm. He told Coach Mendenhall, "Sunday night I hurt and I cried." The coach said, "It's ok to cry. I cry sometimes - even at BYU." 

 One very happy camper.

 Justin -- Can't remember his name but he sat at the dinner table with us last year and again this year. I heard him tell a friend as soon as he walked onto the field, "I've got to find my man, Ammon." Loved that mohawk.  He is a tackle. He's a lot of fun.

 Kyle VanNoy - a really great player.

 Michael Yeck - I know his wife through work. A really great young man who is trying to put on more weight. He is an offensive tackle. He told us that he has been working with the nutritionists this year and they are trying to get him to bulk up. That means they want him to eat 7,000 calories a day. He said, "I can't eat that much food. Eating isn't fun when you have to eat that much."

 Player in the hat is the quarterback, Riley Nelson.

Ammon got to meet Max Hall again this year. He was the quarterback when Ammon was inducted as a Hero. He is waiting to see if he gets picked up by the NFL as a free agent this year but is most likely going to stay on at BYU as a staff member working with the quarterbacks.
Like always, this is a wonderful event. We sat at the table with a young woman with three beautiful little children. Her husband was a Thursday Hero last September. He had cancer. Two days after he was inducted, he went into the hospital where they told him he didn't have much longer to live. He lived until last May. She will always be invited to be part of this group. It's very touching to see how some of the players really connect with the kids. Some do not but many of the biggest, toughest guys are softies at heart - you can just tell.

GO COUGARS!!

Accident

Sunday night Jim and Ammon went home teaching. When they came back home, Ammon was coming down the driveway in his manual wheelchair.  There are some cracks in the cement and one of his wheels hit a crack just the wrong way and it flipped the wheelchair forward. Ammon hit his forehead, scraped his left elbow pretty badly and broke the humorous bone at the top of his right arm.  We gave him some Tylenol and Jim gave him a blessing. He slept through the night but this morning he couldn't use his arm very well.  Jim took him to the pediatrician, Dr. Knochel. He had Jim take Ammon over to the radiation department at the hospital. Dr. Egbert read the x-ray and called Dr. Wallentine (doctor that did my knee surgery) to consult with him. The bone is broken but they cannot cast this particular site. So Ammon has his arm in a pretty big sling and it will stay there for three weeks.  No surgery will be required for which we are most grateful.  Ammon is pretty bummed out about this because he can't use the computer, can't type and can't hold a book with two hands - nor has he figured out a way yet that he can use his Kindle.  

 It's a good thing that his hospital bed can rise and we can move the bed around the room. At least he can watch TV!  I think it's going to be a very long three weeks for this kiddo.

Walk with Mom

Ammon took these photos on today's walk.

Huge new house.

 Cool mailbox!

 This is the only way to garden in Elk Ridge.

Good job, Ammon. 

Indexing

Ammon was given this little award along with the biggest Hershey candy bar I've ever seen. He received it during Priesthood last Sunday. I am very impressed with his abilities. I don't know how to index. Jim does some but Ammon has learned to do this on his own with no help from anyone. Yesterday he did 40 names. Since the award he has done about 120 additional names.  Very impressive, indeed!

On Monday night during FHE we talked about indexing and the temple and what they do with the names that are indexed.  We are very excited about the work that Ammon does and that he is blessed with the ability to read the names and the writing.  Way to go, Ammon!  You continue to set a great example for all of us.

BYU adventure

Thursday Jason and I went to BYU it was exciting a little we went to the Cannon Center I finally got to neet Dean I got to sit with Mom and Jason and Kaitlin we had a good lunch. Then walked around campus in the bookstore and the joseph smith building and that was it. it was so rainy i had to put my hoody over my head

My book of childhood memories

Today when Jason was here my mom brought up my big book of childhood memories. It has newspaper articles,  facts about me, pictures of me, and a journal of all my doctor visits. We also did indexing we got a third of it done. And today was also Jason's first day having dinner with us, Jason thought it was delicious. Happy 4 of July.

Carnival Adventure

Today Jason and I went to the carnival at the park and we met some new people and we were ticket salesmen we even saw Seth Mason. We played some games like golf,  bean bag toss, the fishing game, and basketball with Garret May. Then we face painted I got the Y on my cheek it stands for BYU. We looked at all the cars my favorite was the pontiac because it was blue.

Groovy Movie

Today watched The Emperor's New Groove it was funny. I liked the part where the old guy gets thrown out the window for throwing off the emperors groove and the part where Pacha attempts to give him the kiss of life after the waterfall. The songs in there are great  one song I like in their its my favorite song it is called My funny friend and me by Sting I love that song and the CGI is amazingly fantastic and the voices are phenomenal I have always liked John Goodman. That is why I like and have always liked disney movies.

A Warm Day at the Park

Today we went to the park, and it was nice weather outside. I saw some familliar faces including Mr. Hiatt and I also saw that BYU sticker on the back of a car, go cougars. I also saw construction on the road wow is it busy and then while we went to the park we sat and talked at the pavillion.

I Joined facebook

Saturday night I told my mom that I wanted to join facebook I  decided to start because my mom thinks it would be a great way to connect with friends everyday. Yay!!!

Moms New Fashionable, Styling Hair

Since I did not have anything to post today, I decided to post on Mom's hair. Yesterday when Jason and I were about to type a lesson Mom came in and I said Wow! I was amazed her new haircut  was the most beautiful haircut ever. My mom and I made a bet to see whether my dad would notice it or not and we won the bet since my dad didn't notice it.   

Youth Conference

Youth Conference, June 2012

Here are some photos taken of Ammon at youth conference. We sure appreciate Kaitlin going down with Ammon to Snow College to spend 2 1/2 days there. They slept over and Ammon participated as much as possible.  They had water activities the first day and a dance that night. (Ammon LOVES dances.) The second day they had a ropes course event and listened to a speaker. That evening they watched the movie, "War Horse." On the last morning, they had a testimony meeting. Ammon bore his and said, "I gave a shout out to you, Mom and said it's because you are always there for me and I'll always be there for you even when you die." Hmm -- Sweet kid. 

HEre

Cool

This one is for you Dad.  today I watched West Side Story with Jason. there is a song in that movie titled Play It Cool Boy and also Officer Crumpkie I liked those two songs cause of the beat of it and because it is so dancy. I thought the choreography was outstanding.  I loved the movie, and  I loved the director Robert Wise. He has done the Sound of Music  just for that he is phenomenal. I recommend it also, go watch it. We started reading Thunder Dog, it is moving and so powerful. I first got interested  after Mom's knee replacement surgery and Mom came home from the hospital and  Sister Turner brought the book over for us to read while Mom was recovering. It's the story of Michael Hingson blind from birth as his dog Roselle helps him escape the 9/11 twin tower attack through faith I highly recommend it. It  lifts me up.

Ball Of Fun

So yesterday we packed up my stuff at home, for Youth Conference, and then we left about 8:30am. We arrived at Snow College where we mingled for about an hour or two. Then we checked in at Snow Gardens, where we would be sleeping. I think then we started the water course. I did not like that. But I got to go down the slip n' slide, thanks to Gavin and Jason. And then we had a dance. I got to dance with college girls (I promise mom I am not trying to ask them out). It was exciting. I went to bed afterwards.
I woke up the next morning, got dressed, and then we went outside again. This time we had a rope course. That was fun. Now we're just waiting here till the rest of the priests get done with the bikes, then we are watching a movie called War Horse. I think it will be time for bed for me after that. Tomorrow, we are having a Testimony meeting, then go home. This is going to be fun. See you at home tomorrow. I love you!
Bye.

Youth Conference Weekend

Youth conference is just at Snow College its going to be fun yet tiring . I will be staying overnight at the dorms, and play some games, having lunch, hearing guest speakers, and probably doing some skits.
