Corey called me and said he was
going to forward something that he was sure I would want to put in Jayden's and
Corey’s and Bailey’s journals. He gave
me the following preface information.
Corey said that Jayden is doing
well in school except math and except turning in all his papers. He said that
he turned in two papers to two different teachers and upped his grades in those
classes to an A and a B respectively. (I hope I got that right.)
That leaves math. He is behind
quite a few pages in math that haven’t been turned in. Corey found out about it
last night and really chewed Jayden out.
Later the following occurred:
Stacey to Corey: Seriously how cute is
are (our) daughter, I found it sitting in front of Jayden’s door this morning
with a controller on top of it
Thank you,
(In Bailey's handwriting.)
Dear Jayden,
I am sorry I yelled
at you. I was just upset with you cause your failing your classes.
Now I know it’s been ruff on you
lately. It was hard enough when I was thirt-teen so I decided to write you a note
and I am giving you my most priced (prized) controller I have had it since I
was four and I want you to have it. It may look like the one that Bryce gave
you. But it’s not. Now I love you.
Love your Father

Yesterday Greg and Niki with the kids came over to eat and
work on the basement bedroom; preparing and painting. Judy had picked out a
light yellow which appears; to me at least, to have a hint of lime green in
it. Greg did most of prep work including
taking Jim’s rustic shelves down, patching holes, taking stuff off the top shelf
in the closet etc. He taped around the edges so we wouldn’t get paint on the
ceiling or baseboards.
Corey
and Stacey and their two came before Greg was quite finished and he and Stacey
took over the painting. Bailey loves to paint and she and; I think Jayden;
maybe Alexa painted the walls in the closet. They also painted stars and other
designs on one wall in the main room which of course got painted over later.
Did I
mention that Alexa and Bailey and Jayden slept over Saturday night?
I think
I got a little confused on what happened on which day.
Jayden’s
cell phone kept announcing when Kate had sent him another text message.
Kate is
twelve years old and in his school. They are both in the seventh grade. She
lives a couple of blocks away from Jayden’s (and his family’s) old house in
Eagle Mountain Town Center.
Bailey
told me that she has used Jayden’s cell to text Kate also. She said that Kate
wants to meet her.
I guess
the other day Jayden was going to meet up with Kate at school and “hang out” for
a while, but Jayden got a white paper (?) from one of his teachers so they
didn’t get to do it.
Kate’s parents think she is texting
one of her girl friends. Corey had to promise his parents that they could read
his and Kate’s texts so he has gotten pretty open about their relationship. He
sometimes gets a little red (embarrassed) but not bad.
Saturday after they were finished
working and eating, Judy and Corey and his family went cloths shopping. Niki
had given them some (strong) suggestions as to what she thought they should be
wearing for picture taking. Today, Corey and Stacey and Jayden and Bailey; all
decked out in denim and blues and yellow went looking for just the right
setting; in the shade for picture taking. I guess Niki took a bunch of them. As
of tonight she had one of them published on her facebook and, I think on her
blog. It really turned out nice.
Gavin was clinging to me much of
the time he was here. He is frightened of Jasmine one of our two cats. She
hisses at the kids and reaches out to claw them; good thing we had her and her
nice twin sister Lily declawed when we first got them. Part of the time at
least, Jasmine was locked up the little; upstairs bedroom.
Anyway the paint job turned out
really nice, though we need to buy another gallon and do some touchup and
finish the inside of the closet.
I
ended up with three batches of dishes to take care of and I cleaned the paint
brushes, pans and rollers.
I never feel well so I just did
what I could when I could. Funny, Jayden and Bailey took turns sitting with me
much of the time. I feel we are really close; like Gavin and me.
