We have had a crap load of snow and now I am ready for March..Randall has been working on the house downstairs and hopefully this weekend we will get some painting done. I want it to be more kid friendly down there. The grand kids think there is a ghost down there. I told them his name is harry and he is friendly..so my brain is trying to start working with paint colors and something???? I do have to say we had a wonderful Christmas in Arizona with everyone. I miss the kids and the grand kids so much. I have been doing a project on scrap booking and trying to use my new cricut. So that's about all for me... Hope everyone is HAPPY!!

We have started out with some beautiful weather. The night's a little cold but not bad. This is the month that we think about what we are thankful for,and I have so many. As a Family we have been blessed so much. Each one of us has had our trials and have had to overcome them,but they seem like a very little thing compared to others.I hope that as a Family we can Thank our Father in Heaven for the things we have and be mindful of them daily.<br />Do not let this month get away without thinking and doing something for someone who need's our help and love. I Love each one of you and are so Happy to see you be Happy.<br /> <br /> Love Mom<br />P.S. Happy Birthday to Brynley, Aunt Brenda, and Samantha AndersenUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348737239581537467.post-84969464291451670192010-10-21T13:01:00.000-07:002010-10-21T13:21:48.977-07:00October Fun... BooWell here came October and here it goes. The days seem to go by so fast. The colors of fall are just beautiful and I have loved to see the changing of the colors. I love this time of year and so many memories flood my mind of going to get wood and seeing elk and just being on the mountain with our family.What wonderful time they were and we felt like the days were never going to end. The smell of the power saw cutting the wood, the loading of the truck, and unloading and stacking the wood for the winter months. The First fire burning and watching it crackle and pop in the dark room. Oh how I wish my grand kids could experience these special moments. Some Saturdays we wished we could just forget about hauling wood but as we got on the mountain the fun times started. We tried to make it a fun day with our kids. I hope each one of you will make a memory with your children this beautiful October. Don't let this month go by without seeing the beautiful colors and thank your Heavenly Father for all you beautiful Blessings. I thank him daily for all of you! I love you MomUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348737239581537467.post-81414489961184003812010-09-26T12:36:00.000-07:002010-09-26T12:51:50.734-07:00Sundaytoday was the best day. Iam sitting writing this waiting for Randall to come home from doing his H.T. and thinking about the wonderful day's we have had. Yesterday we went to the old roller rink in Logan to view the display of Christ that came from Mesa Az. It was called "The Reflections Of Christ " and it was just beautiful. It has made me really think about Christ and all he has given us. Today the lessons were about loving one another and not judging. To do more service and to show love. This week has been extremely hard for me. I still want to be the mom and know everything that is going on in each one of my children life's. Isn't that what I am suppose to do?? But yesterday i realized that maybe it's time for me too step back and let Christ help out. So through praying, loving, and not judging maybe I can become a more Christ like person and keep working to have a eternal family. I Love each one of you!

I have so many memories of him. He was a good kind man even if he didn't want to show that side much. I remember him teaching me to drive on the big lake road. That was scary for me but for him with a few beer's he was good.He taught me to ride and take care of horses.Sometimes Hal and Steven didn't like that because I always got to go. When I was little and we lived in Marana he had a plane and I even got to fly with him. I was spoiled and I knew how to get what I wanted from him. He was a good provider for us and we never wanted for anything. He had a hard time telling everyone that he loved them but I think we all knew.He was always so generous. Even if I had a hard time telling him...I loved him tooo. Have a good week. love you all MomUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348737239581537467.post-63655064402041634202010-09-15T15:12:00.000-07:002010-09-15T15:29:43.030-07:00september birthdaysToday has been a day of saddness and memories of day's gone passed. Today John would have had his 63rd Birthday.The time has passed and it seem's like yesterday that we were having a wonderful life together. I miss him so much. Tomorrow is Michael's birthday and it has been wonderful to see him follow his dream. He has been such a blessing in my life. He has been there for me to vent to and just will listen and is so caring with a big heart like his dad.I watched him as he told his friends goodbye three weeks ago and the Love they had for him. He has made many special friends. On the 30th our sweet little Emma will have a birthday. She has grown up so fast.I love her and miss seeing the grandkids growing up.And this Saturday Andi Jean will be Baptisted and I am so proud of her for wanting to take this step in her life.So Life moves on and we move on one day at a time.Love each other and take care of each other.<br />I love you all Mom.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348737239581537467.post-78865850793510209932010-09-02T12:46:00.001-07:002010-09-02T13:00:19.131-07:00Another monthHere we go another month and alot has happenend.

Two Reunions, Two Weddings,and a Baby shower and Birthday parties... It has been great fun.

We went to the Jonas Reunion.{yes I was sad because no Jonas Brothers..haha}still trying to find out if they are related to Randall.But it was so much fun. I made a chipboard scrapbook and it sold for sixty dollars. good huh? The reunion was up Odgen Canyon at a place called Anderson Cove. It was so beautiful there.There were between 65-70 people there. They made yummy cheesy potatoes. That is really what they called them and they were yummy.Lot's of food, games, and just good ole visiting.

The weather was nice and so the kids went outside and played a lot.They made a trip to the Lagoon and spent the day there with Uncle Michael and had so much fun. I stayed home and keep Mallory and Tessa. We had so much fun with them. Mallory loves to sing and make up song's so we had a good time.I think this was my first time not to be in Eagar for the forth so there were time's my heart was a little sad.We drove to Bear Lake and that was a lot of fun.

My first thought was "Here comes Brother Turley" does anyone else remember that truck? I then had so many memories of Eagar and the wonderful Turley family that helped me along on the journey of being a new member of the church.Seems like the memories come a lot now.I am thankful for all the wonderful memories that I do have.Could I just be getting old? Don't answer that one...lol.

It was so beautiful. I love all the tulips that are all over. It is finally getting green and a little bit warmer. Last night it thundered and rained a little and it was beautiful. <br />Mothers Day was GREAT hearing from four of the greatest kids. I love each one of them so much and I am thankful for their love for me. What more could you ask for??? I spent a day looking back on the scrapbooks i have done and boy from the beginning to now some are pretty scarry. But there are so many good memories and some memories that I have really missed. It is so fun to see all those pictures of the starting of a life as a married person and a starting of a new family. Wonderful years.. Hope everyone has a Great weekend.

I made a trip with Michael to Phoenix on the 4th of Feb for the Funeral of Mom-Grandma Elda. What a Beautiful tribute given to her. It was sad and we will miss her so much.Charles and Bill did a great job and I know mom was proud of them. I have had many hard times in this last year. On the night of the funeral Randall's daughter delivered her baby three months early. She weighted 1 lb-13oz. She is doing Great and as of Sunday weighted 2 lb-9oz.We went to the Hospital and I got to hold her and she is so sweet.Hopefully she will be coming home soon. Tomorrow Tyson,April,Adisen,Emily and AnnaClair will be here for a few days and I am so excited to have more of my family here. I recieved the news about Steven Brown yesterday and my heart is so sad for Kelli and the boys.
