Today I came upon an interesting discovery. We can acutally write on this blog using our personal blog passwords. I don't know if anyone other than Tammy has their own blog, but if you want to send me your email address to nate@martproduce.com I can get it set up so you can write on both blogs from your individual blog.

I'm Free!!

Tammy took me to the Dr. yesterday for my post-op exam. He was very encouraging. He said I can drive now and I should be able to go back to work on Monday as long as I don't lift over 10 pounds for the next 4 weeks. That will be really hard because my job is mostly lifting all day, but everyone assures me that they will help me out so I will be to work on Monday morning at 5:30 ready and raring to go. He also told me that I could start walking on the tread mill and around town if I wanted. I just can't do anything that requires using stomach muscles so I got on the tread mill this morning and walked at a measley 2.5 miles an hour for 40 minutes. It's a slow start but I am sooooooo happy to be moving again that I'll take anything I can get. I also was able to do some house cleaning and then drove myself to the school to have lunch with the ladies. They were really swamped so I ended up staying and working for about 2 1/2 hours. (no lifting) It was good to get to see all my little friends at school though I have really missed all those cute little faces. Tonight I have a meeting in Salt Lake for Girls camp. We are going to the Heber Valley camp this year and I am the Stake Asst. camp Director so the meetings will be pretty regular from hear on out I think. I guess I better go get ready I should be leaving in about 10 minutes. I hope every one is happy. Love ya all. Leana

O.K. So I talked Tammy into making her own blog. It took us a looooooonnnnnnggggg time and a few goofs, but she has a blog now so you can find it at dandtmendenhall.blogspot.com I hope it works o.k. I usually have to have someone else do everything else for me on the computer. She came over today to help keep me entertained because I am getting very bored just sitting here. I think I will actually be glad to go back to work on the 26th. Calvin took me to the store last night just so I could walk a little bit. It was good to get out for a minute, but I didn't last more than 10 minutes or so. He is sooooo patient with me, he is always asking if there is something he can get for me. Tammy has been working for me at the school and I think she enjoys all the ladys there, they seem to be having fun without me. I got bored day before yesterday and decided I could change the wax in my scentsy thing for something to do and of course I ended up with hot wax all down my arm and on my shirt. Now if someone will set up the ironing board for me I will have something else to do (see if I can get the wax out of my shirt) Oh well, I guess I should go for now. I hope everyone is doing great. I love ya all!!!

k, so my link didn't work, so I'm trying again..... www.thecraftmoms.blogspot.com

So I have a friend here in Cedar that makes and sells the cutest hair bows and accessories and if I post a comment about it on my blog and a link I get a Free Bow with my next order! So that's what I'm doing.. If you're interested take a look!

So I was thinking that we, Mike and Becky, hadn't put any input on the blog for a long time..
Nayeli was being so quiet the other day while sitting on the potty and when I opened the door to check on her this is what I found... 1/2 a role of toilet paper all over the floor in many pieces. Sometimes it is hard to get mad and tell her no when you find some of the things she does kind of funny.

We went to Cedar City Yesterday To see Mike Give Zackary his baby blessing. Mike did such a good Job and then Becky bore her testimony and she did a great job too. We are sooooooo blessed to have children who are living the gosple and doing all they can to return to our Heavenly Father. Calvin and I took Tom and Gwen and Tammy with us and Grandpa and Grandma Dockie brought Dawny and Jeff with them from St. George. Mike's Mom and Step Dad came and brought Mike's sister and her husband and 2 of thier grandchildren with them. We all had a delicious dinner and a very good visit. I really enjoyed the day.
It is snowing here again today. We had about 2 more inches at 6:00 when I went out and shoveled, Hopefully it is almost done for this storm. Natalie and Nate had so much snow last week that I don't know if I dare even ask them what they have today I know it has to be alot. I get a little nervous about Natalie traveling to Pocatello every day for school with this weather, but she has assured me time and time again that she is careful and fine.
Calvin will be going to Boise tomorrow so I get to be nervous about that too. I really don't like winter. I know he will drive carefully. It's just the rest of everybody out there that worries me.
I hope every one is having a good start to their New Year, I went back to work today and my goodness was it ever a busy day. It seemed like I had a ton of catchup work to do. I didn't get it all done so I will have to finish (hopefully) tomorrow so we can get back in the swing of things. Those little kids are so cute though that it makes it all worth it. And I'm glad to be back.
Well I guess that is enough for today because I want to go and read all the other blogs.
