Hi Heather,
Wow how time flies. It is hard to believe that we have already been here in Pocatello for over three months. We are starting to adjust and are probably about as unpacked as we can get at this point.
Darrick still loves work. He just got finished with his month long rotation at the hospital. He was there at 6 am every morning to start any and every IV that they needed done. He had to do this to get his IV certification so that he can knock patients out in his office. He has some exciting procedures scheduled for the next little while. He was called as the Elders Quorum President a few weeks ago and is staying busy with that as well. He is really enjoying it all.
Mom and Dad watched the kids for a night a week or so ago. We went down to the BYU game and had a little time away. It was fun. We missed them. That was the first time I had been away from them, but we had a good time. The kids had a great time at grandpa and grandma’s house. I don’t know if mom or dad got any sleep that night, but it was nice. Thanks Dad, Mom, Devin and Carolyn.
I am still doing about the same. I now have a big belly that is moving around quite a bit. The girls love to feel “baby sister” kick, as well as give her hugs and kisses. We are all excited for her to come. We still have no idea for a name, but we still have 3 months right. Primary is lots of fun. There are some fun kids. I am enjoying being in there. Camden and Dakota sure love going. Camden can’t wait for Sunday to be here each week so that she can go to church.
Camden is growing up fast. Some days I think that she is 3 going on 20. She is taking gymnastics and really liking that. It is more for fun than skill, so they mess around a lot, but hey she has a good time. She is really into cards and scrap booking, and loves to do her reading lessons! She is doing so great at it. She is so creative and is always coming up with fun little things for us to do.
We can’t believe our little Dakota. It is hard to believe that she is going to be 2 soon. She is a lot of fun and wants to do every single thing that her sister does. She is talking so much and is quite the little character. It is fun to watch her grow up. Her favorite thing to do is yell out the window when her dad goes somewhere and say “bye snicklefritz, bye goofball.” She thinks that she is something. Sometimes when she is missing him she climbs up to the window and starts saying it, even when he isn’t there. It is fun and all but we were leaving someone’s house the other day and she said it to them. I think that we will have to start regulating it. : )
We have a new member of the family. We finally broke down and bought a new car. It is a Kia Sedona. Boy do we feel like we have a ton of room. The girls love it. They run around and play every time that we get in. It is just a little different than the 2 door car. Other than that things are about the same. We are looking forward to the wonderful fall weather and colors. We love you all.
Love, the Zirkers

Mom forwarded this from a friend:
Grandkids-
TRIVIA: FRED ASTAIRE WAS ALLERGIC TO FEATHERS.My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. Heasked me how old I was, and I told him, "62" He was quiet for amoment, and then he asked, "Did you start at one?"*********************************************************************After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed intoold slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. Asshe heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patiencegrew thin. At last she threw a towel around her head and stormedinto their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As sheleft the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice,"Who was THAT?"*******************************************************************A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her ownchildhood was like: "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had aswing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. Werode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The littlegirl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she said, "I sure wishI'd gotten to know you sooner!"*********************************************************************My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you knowhow you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo while Iasked, "No, how are we alike?" "You're both old," he replied.********************************************************* ************A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's wordprocessor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about?"he asked. "I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."*********************************************************************I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so Idecided to test her. I would point out something and ask what colorit was. She would tell me, and always she was correct. But it was fun forme, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely,"Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of theseyourself!"********************************************************************When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept thelights off until we were inside to keep from attracting peskyinsects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before Idid, Billy whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are comingafter us with flashlights."*********************************************************************When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'mnot sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandma," he advised. "Mine saysI'm four to six."************************************************************A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother,"Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today." Thegrandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That'sinteresting," she said, "How do you make babies?" "It'ssimple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'"*********************************************************************Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said ateacher The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladderpregnant."The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know whatpregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. "Itmeans carrying a child."*********************************************************************A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kidshome one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the frontseat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children starteddiscussing the dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back,"said one youngster."No, said another, "he's just for good luck."A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs",she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant."
