Some days it seems as if everything gets thrown on you at once and you just want to throw away it all and try to start over. I have been taught and know from experience that the Lord only gives us what we can handle and sometimes we feel the need to question him.Why when we believe and have a love for him do we have to have so little faith when we are given a few trials? Today I felt like haven't I been taught enough? I guess not for I must have a lot more to learn and so I will just keep trying and hopefully my family will be patient with me. I love all of you so much and and Iam thankful for the family we have. Love Mom

I Love Fall

Wow it is so beautiful here. The maple leaves are so big and are falling off the trees along our street. Everyone is rakeing and making big pile's . I just want to go jump in them and mess them all up...lol I have missed the AZ weather but it is really something to see all the wonderful colors of fall. We had a lot of kids come for candy and that was fun.I was asked in sunday school if I was Randall's mother!!!!That was not good!!Guess I'll take those clothes to DI...Oh well life goes on and so here we go.
Grandma Elda is better and we hope on the road to recovery. I see the doctor on the 5th about having my kneecaps replaced.YUCK and on my birthday no less!!! Not much more news from me.Hope no one has the swine flu..oink oink. I love you all MOM

FINALLY

Finally we are the same time as ARIZONA!!!!!!

Grandma Elda

I have been putting of blogging and today my blog consultation said she had a bone to pick with me for not updating so here goes.
As alot of you may know Grandma Elda had a fall and broke her femur bone. They flew her to mesa where she is waiting to have surgery. My mind and heart has been so flooded with so many wonderful memories and years with her as she taught me so many things.
I meet her when I was in high school and she was the head secretary. I worked with her my junior and senior year. This was also when I first meet John. After we were married and my parents moved out of Springerville she became my MOM. She taught me so many things. She taught me to can,make bread from scratch,and to quilt.We had many long nights talking and she was always there for me. Elda and Gus were dating the same time John and I were and so it was pretty fun. Sometimes John would beat her home!!! After Grandpa Gus passed away she was so lonely and started going to the single stuff in Mesa.
She never liked to be alone.I have missed her so much and worry about her. She is a special person and when she married Grandpa Wallace they were so in love and had a great life together. I just hope and pray that she will be able to recover from this.
It has been cold here today so I stayed home and made Tyson's Pumpkin cookies and Banana muffins. Hope everyone has a safe weekend... Love to all MOM

Home Again, Home Again

What a great two week's I had in Arizona. It was the best spending time with everyone. It was so hard to say goodbye.. Everyday was filled with grand kids. Lots of noise,food and fun. On Friday we had a P-Day. Everyone arrived at Becky's in their PJ and had pancakes and pumpkin pancakes yummy. Then the fun started with movies and just hanging out. For lunch each grand kid made their own pizza and we had pudding for dessert.They had fun making the pizza.The kids all got along so well. They really like being together and just hanging out.The two weeks passed so fasted and as I left on Saturday I had a feeling that i maybe needed to take each grandchild aside and express my love to them. I sometime feel like maybe I don't tell them enough.i hope they don't feel that way. I want them to remember the good memories. OH and we took lots of pictures too.I must say at the end of our p-day I was POOPED...Thanks again to Becky and Shane for buying the plane ticket and Randall for letting me go for two weeks. So now back to Utah and the beautiful fall colors. I am glad to be here and thankful for all my beautiful family. YOUR THE BEST!!!! Have a great week and remember to love one another.
LOVE MOM

Arizona Fun
