changes...

Where's Wally's Carpet when you need them???? This is a new experience for me. The carpet men were to be here at 10:00am. They came at 9:00am. Good yes but there is not enough carpet to do the living room and the little and I mean Little hallway. The company ordered more carpet but it hasn't come in yet.Of course Not!!!! So now there is a question about the dye lot matching so we are changing and putting wood flooring in the entry way.Then the little hallway and the master bedroom will have the same carpet. To many decisions for a Friday morning when you painted till 11:30p.m. and are still not done. Oh well !!!!!!! Hope your day is better than mine. And stop and think for a few minutes about a special person named Uncle Gary that has always been there for our family. I sure will!!!! Love Mom

Family

Today my heart is so full Iam missing my family. Each one that is so dear to me. Jonna who has the sweet calming spirit like her dad. Becky who has unconditional love for everyone , Tyson's big loving arms and spirit and Love for his Heavenly Father. Michael for so many ways that he has given love and understand to me. I am thankful for all of them. As we studied the talk that President Monson gave in conference Sunday I again was thankful for the journey that we are taking now. To strive to keep the commandments everyday so that we may return to him. To be an eternal family and live with each other again. At time it seems like that is impossible but I know that we have a loving Father to help us find the way.Iam thankful that I was given the opportunity to have five beautiful children to know that I will have Kara to raise and love.And that I again will be united with a wonderful loving husband who loved me unconditional. I love each one of you so much and as you struggle to do what is right let your journey be a joyful one and know that we can be together soon. Remember my favorite Quote by Boyd K. Packer"If In the end you have not chosen Jesus Christ it will not matter what you have chosen".We must choose who we will serve .We are sons and daughters of God. Love one another as he has loved you. I love all of you so much Mom

Hello everyone, Today Iam giving you a test on the weather in the beautiful state of UTAH.. First Question: What is the color of pure?
Second Question: What is fun to play in?

Fourth Question: When will this ever stop?
If you answered the questions all right I will be coming to stay with you for two months!lol yes we went to bed last night and it was raining and the wind was blowing and got up to snow and it is still snowing. I will be staying home this week again. But that is ok because we are painting the living room and need to have it done by Thursday. This has been alot of work and sometimes I wonder if Randall wants to send me back to AZ? Too late now.... Well better go get started. Love to all Blogger's!!!!! MOM

I made Banana Bread with choc late chips and Randall loved it. I must say it was good. I am having a hard time getting into the cooking thing again. Seems like we have to many left overs. when raising a family and with two boys at the end some days there were never any left overs. Miss those good ole days.. Well hope everyone is having a good day and remembering to show love one to another. I Love you all Mom

Many Blessings

What a wonderful evening we had . The Logan Temple is just beautiful and so was Keri.It was so great to be there with Keri and Craig. It had been 17 years since he had gone to the Temple so it was like going for the first time for him also. Both of their mothers have passed away so it was different for them to just have their dads. I was really pleased that Keri had asked me to be her escort.Then at around 9:40 little Tessa made her entrance into Arizona.She weighted 8lbs 1ounce and was 20inches long and has red hair...lol That's 3 redheads and 3blonds for them.Everyone is doing Great.One down One to go!!!! Hope everyone has a great day. Love Mom

Temple Day

We are going to the temple today at 4:00 to go with Randalls second daughter. We are really excited for her.They will be sealed on the seventh of Feburary. Today has been a very hard day for me. As Iam waiting the arrival of Tessa to our family my heart is so full. I want to be there for Becky and Shane but I am here. Somedays my heart tells me that this is where I should be because I love Randall but my mind says I need to be in Arizona.. This is making me alittle more crazy..lol

IT's HERE IT's HERE

THE SUN THE SUN ,What a beautiful day in Logan Utah... YEA. This New Year I decided that I would watch every show of I LOVE LUCY. Now really that 's the truth.And as I sit and watch the two that come on back to back it reminds me of a lot of silly things that I did when I was first married and with Aunt Donna. We did some dumb things. And I really wonder how John and Uncle Gary lived through them.lol..Those we the good ole days. Not to much to do in Eagar you had to figure out something to do.We tried to take every class that we could. But there were no scrapbooking classes so we took cake decorating,and we found alot of other crafts to keep us busy.But the funnest time was when we went to Canada and made all the girls summer shorts and tops out of sheets.Yes Bed sheets. We thought we were so smart and they all matched. OH MY!! Looking back at pictures the girls were cute but ...... Well you get the picture!!!!! Many fun times. well got to go the show is on.... love mom

sun????

Another day with no SUN!!! I guess I will just have to get over it!Randall's said "Be Glad you don't live in Alaska" My answer was "How close are we" lol...I have just had to much AZ sun. Today is the year mark for Randall. He just called to tell me that he is so thankful that he has me. We are going to go and put the flowers on his wife's grave after work today.Iam thankful for Randall also.But I couldn't have gone through the last two years without each one of you kids being there for me. And I know that it was as hard for you.Knowing that we can be an eternal family and be with dad again seems to make it alot easier.We have all got to strife for that to happen.We need to not be judgemental of each other and just show love more.Dad and I had one main goal in our life together and it was to live so that our family could be together forever. It was a rough road sometimes for me because of being a convert and the only member in my family but growing up without a religion was not what I wanted for my life as I grew older .Dad was the strong one that I leaned on. And he never gave up on me. It would have been so easy for him to go the other way. I was a little hard to get along with sometimes{sound like me} but he keep me going in the right direction. After he passed away I really wondered if I could go on without him. And I know that I expressed that to each one of you many times. But with the help of a loving Bishop and Grandma Elda I learned that if I would just listen with my heart I could do this and be close to dad. I have had many times when I know that dad was there telling me to be strong and stay close to my Heavenly Father. I hope in this new year that you will be able to see a change for the better in me. I am happy with my new life and know that this is where I need to be at this time and I know that dad is still watching over me helping me to be strong and loving to this family who needs also to learn to become an eternal family. I hope we can all work together . My love for each and everyone of you is so strong and I want you to know that. I Love you MOM

not so fun

we went to the doctor yesterday and yes the rib is broken.. Then the question was: Have you had a bone denisity test lately? I cant remember when but I thought so. Well he said the only way to fix it was to rest and take it easy.no kidding all that for 25.00 dollars later.lol so here I sit with a pillow and a heating pad. And Randall who feels so bad about it. He keeps telling me he is sorry that he took me away from my family and brought me to all this snow. But it will get better, as you all know the meanness has to come out somewhere. RIGHT? RIGHT...Oh well at least I can still talk and walk...We are painting the hallway tomorrow yea. we took down the border in the living room so it is also ready to paint. I will be glad when this is all done like we want it. well better go and fix Randall a sandwich for lunch. love you all MOM

I have been laid up with a sore side. I had a little slip and I think I might of cracked a rib. The pain has been pretty bad so I have been sitting around taking pain meds and that is about all. Last night Randall brought home a dozen tiny pink roses to me. He is so sweet and worries so much about me. We had another 4 inches of snow last night. No sun again today. We are getting the living room ready to paint and then we are getting new carpet and furniture. Cant wait... Then the next room will be the extra bedroom/scrapbook room. glad everyone is doing OK. Cant wait for the two girls to come to our family. I know their Moms will be glad also.. Will that really be 20 grand kids??? love you mom

Happy New Year

Hope everyone is still kicking after a long night. We had fun going over to Randall Parents and being with his brothers and sisters. We came home around 10:00 and watched a movie. I than received a call from Kara at 12:00.She was so excited about being up till 12 and I can say it sounded very loud at Shane and Becky's house.We talk for a few minutes and than I couldn't hear to much of Kara so we hung up. That 's a great feeling for a six year old to get to stay up so late.lol. Hope your OK Becky!!! Today we are starting a new project for the new year. Everyday we will write what we are thankful for and grateful for. I took a class and made this book and I am excited to do this. Randall is not so sure but once he starts he will do fine. So today is the day to let it happen. Hope you have a great day. love mom and gm
