Here we go again

Hi Everyone, Hope all is well this a.m. What a wonderful week we had. The snow just keep falling. I guess I wont be able to say that I didn't have a white Christmas.lol We ended up with 18inches. And today was the first day we have seen the sun. We had a fun Christmas. And yes I did pretty good. I tried really hard not to be sad for Randall. I realized that it would be hard for him being the first year without his sweet wife.So I work really hard to keep him happy which wasn't to hard. He is the sweetest and wants to please me and tries to do everything perfect. He gave me three new carriages for my cricut and last night he remember that he had forgotten that he had not wrapped one of my presents.He went and brought out the jukebox ,that is what holds them all. He felt so bad. I assured him that it was ok..lol He has been so thoughtful. Well better go do the laundry. Have a great day and remember I LOVE you Mom

Iam dreaming of a white christmas!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful day. We sure did. We opened presents around 8:30 and it didn't take to long. Randall gave me some beautiful diamond earrings. I love them.... The kids all showed up at 10:00 and they had a breakfast planned. They did all the cooking and cleaning up so I had a great time playing with grand kids and visiting. Michael was not able to come up because of the snow. It started snowing here pretty early and this am we have 18 inches. Randall is out there as I type trying to dig us out.. Wow there is alot of snow. I talked to Ty and April late last night well it was really at 1:30 this am . They were in Texas and were going to sleep alittle before hitting the road again. Iam worried about April riding for such a long time. I also talked to Aunt Stacey last night. I love her so much. What a special sister she has been to me.She has been so worried about me. We were so blessed to have her come into the Wiltbank family. She always thinks of everyone else in the family.We have had many happy times in this family.Uncle Charles and Aunt Stacey have help me so much and they are the best....Well I better go do some stuff. I want to take some pictures of Randall in the snow.Have a good day love to all Mom

I Love Snow

When I lived in Eagar for the last 37years and the wind blew I would say "I LOVE The WIND! It seemed to make it more bearable. So I am trying to LOVE THE SNOW... We are getting more snow this day. I know there must be at least 1o inches. The news says it is going to snow all week. Now Michael is not so sure he can get here without chains.But the wonderful members keep coming by. Today a sister brought a big ham from someone in the ward who didn't want us to know their name. They new we would be feeding family for Christmas. Last night the RS pres. delivered a gift card to wal-mart with no name on it. I remember the same kinda of Love from so many people in Eagar that took care of our family many times without asking for anything in return. Many packages without names left on the front doorstep and not just at Christmas,but all through the year.Many acts of service of wood cutting and stacking,shoveling snow,and many many times of just stopping by to say hi. I have a great love for all those wonderful people in Eagar . This love was shown for us in so many was when we lost our husband,dad,brother,and friend. Our family was given the most LOVE from everyone. As I moved to the valley I again experienced the outpouring Love from many dear sisters in the wards.And made many new friends.Today as I was talking to Grandma Elda she said"Isn't it so great to know that no matter where you live the church is all the same.I love Grandma she has been a great influences in my life. I hope that as family we can show LOVE and service to each other and to that person we do not know that we might come in contact with.I sometime wonder how I would have turned out if I had not meet John an joined the church. He was a great man who showed unconditional love for his family,friends and his fellowman and for the Lord. I hope that we can remember the LOVE that we have for each other. You all have shown a unconditional LOVE to me for the last few years and I know that it was pretty hard . I LOVE you so much and Iam so proud to be your Mother. Merry Christmas I love each one of you and you hold a special place in my heart. LOVE MOM

Fun Weekend

Well snow again on Saturday but the open house that Randall's girls planned was a great success. I got to meet all of his family and that was fun. We went to church today and I sat next to a lady in RS that was raised in Alpine AZ. I couldn't believe it. She only went to RVHS her Freshman year but had to brothers that went to high school up until their sophomore and senior year. What fun that was. She works with a lady named Linda Taylor and she was raised in Springerville. She is going to tell her about me tomorrow,and find out her maiden name. The RS president lived 3 years in Safford so she new about some of the Wiltbanks down there. I also meet a sister who raised all her children in Snowflake. She is my age.It was fun and everyone has been so nice to welcome me to the ward.We just finished making Grandma Eldas Popcorn Crunch and Randall had to go finish his home teaching. Well better go Love everyone MOM

Once there was a snowman,snowman,snowman

Merry Christmas
We woke up to the wind this am and now it is snowing again. The sun refuses to come out so the snow never melts just keeps adding up.Last night as we ventured out it was 9degrees out there burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The snow is coming down as I sit here and write and watch Little House On The Parries. Isn't that exciting? Wish I could tell you that I was sitting here eating Bon Bons but its to cold to eat ice creme.lol Iam going to wrap presents today. The big beautiful tree needs something under it. Michael will be coming on Christmas eve to stay the night and Christmas day with us. That will be fun cant wait. This will be my first Christmas away from Arizona. Iam trying to keep my spirits up and remember that this is going to be a great Christmas because I have Randall who I love very much. OK so much for that. Have a great day love to all mom

Boring

Today has been a boring day. I cleaned out the Fridge and than sat in the chair the rest of the day. Haven't felt much like getting busy. Have plenty to do but I cant do it all in one day...Right?We are going to the bank when Randall gets off and to buy those nine little gifts for work. Then we will go clean and come home. Maybe tomorrow I will get the presents wrapped. But if I don't no worry. Hope you all have a good outlook and are getting in the Christmas spirit. I hope we can remember what this season is all about. Showing Love and Kindness to each other and also to our fellowman and those in need. I love each one of you... Love and miss you Mom.

Got to Love IT

Hi everyone, More snow this am. I am staying home today. Randall got off work last evening and came and got me and we went to a few stores and finally finished up on his side of the family. Then we went to Chilies for some soup. It was fun. Than I went with him to clean the two buildings its better than sitting home by myself. Oh i forgot we got a hair cut too. After we got the cleaning done we went to?????Wal-Mart how did you know? Bet you can't guess what we were looking for. Oh well...lol Randall still has to buy nine gifts for work but not sure what to get for those. Well I better go and do something. Have a great day.. Love to everyone Mom

oh boy DI

I was asked to go shopping to day with Randall's Mother in law and a sister in law and so I agreed.so they picked me up at 9:30 and we went to DI until 12:00and then brought me home. I have figured out that I am not much of a DI shopper. They always seem to find stuff... But not me. Maybe because I HAVE BEEN CLEANING OUT, and sending alot of truck loads to DI. Oh well. I am making Banana Bread this afternoon. Haven't done that for awhile. Love to all MOM

Snow Snow Snow.... OH NO

Well yesterday we woke up and there was 6inches of snow. This am there was another inch. We keep grand kids last night and they were sick in the night,about 7:00 this am the doorbell ring and It was another granddaughter who was sick and her mother was out of town... So no church today!! Tonight is Randall's Family Christmas Party at our house. It is going to start a 5:00 and all kids will be here but one. That does mean eleven grand kids lol. Boy this is going to take some getting use to. I had a melt down on Thursday just miss seeing everyone and feel like a stranger in a unknown land. We went to our ward Christmas Party last evening and I meet a few sisters in the ward and also the Bishop.Lots of Families move in and out kinda like the San Tan Ward in Queen Creek. I know that this is where I am suppose to be. I just hope that the grand kids in AZ don't forget me... Hope all have a wonderful Sabbath Day and remember that I Love you all so very much,,, LOVE Mom

I took a little trip to a few stores today. when i looked out side it looked pretty warm,you know the sun was out so I put on a fannel shirt and headed down the 13 stairs out the back door.When I got outside it was COLD but i didnt want to go back up 13 stairs so i just went. I went to bed-bath-beyond and after that I went to JoAnn and I was just about frozen so my last stop was at jcpenney. I went in and bought a hoodie. It was 41 and tonight it is suppose to get 15. I miss that 73 dregee weather. But Logan is a pretty town.After Randall got home we went again looking for the tree and bought a new toliet instead. now you go figure..lol.

I stopped by his worked and meet alot of people today. Next tuesday is the company christmas party.That should be fun. Better go for now Love to everone...

It's Cold

Hello Everyone,
Well we finally made it to Logan. What a long trip. We left on Friday and drove to Kanab where we stayed the night. Then we went to Provo and picked up my car from Michael and I followed Randall the rest of the way to logan. The triffac was so bad. I had no cell phone so I felt so lost and was missing the kids and Grandkids so bad that I really wondered what I was doing and if I should turn around and go back to Provo.. But I got tough again and kept going. When we arrived here Randalls Grandkids had put up welcome home signs angnd streamers and were so excited for us to be here. Things are good now. How different to send your husband off to work in the a.m. its been a long time since I have done that. its cold here today and is going to snow. Hope everyone had a great turkey day.We have been so Blessed with a great family and great friends..Thanks for all that was done for us. The wonderful family I have all worked to make the wedding and the open house so nice and I love them so much. May we keep our minds open to help others this wonderful season. Love to all .P.S. I will post pictures when Becky has time to walk me through it .. LOL
