Conference Weekend

Today we went out to Brother Flowers cabin for lunch and the second session of conference.  It was nice to have a change of scenery although the kids were a little harder to entertain out there.  It's always nice to go out and visit with Sis. Flower.  Conference was awesome and it warms my heart to hear the leaders of the church encourage us to keep going.  This morning we went and got donuts for breakfast which the kids loved of course! Happy conference weekend everyone!!

Pruning

Chas came home from work early today which was so nice.  He tries to come early on Friday on conference weekends so we can get somethings done around here without having a Saturday to work on it.  In between rain storms we went out and pruned the orchard, there is something about working outside with him and the kids, that I just love.  We really don't say much, but being together in the sunshine, working, makes me happy.

Blessings of Tithing and an answer to prayer

We have had a real answer to prayer this week.  A couple of weeks ago while talking to Kayla I mentioned that we were in desperate need of a new car, the cost to fix the problems with ours exceeded it's worth and we were in a bind about what to do.  She said that Thomas' mom was selling her suburban, I asked her all the details and told her we were very interested.  Anyway long story short we ended up getting her suburban for less than we would have had to pay to fix our car.  Ezra was flying into SLC that next sunday and could get it to his house where Kayla drove it to hers and I rode with Mom & Dad to pick it up from her house.  It couldn't have worked out better, we feel so blessed and recognize that the Lord is looking out for us.


Here is our new beauty!! We will miss our old car though, we went a lot of places and have a lot of memories of that car, we had it for 10 years!  But are so excited for our new one! Thanks Tari!!

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
