July News

I just realized that I only have a few minutes till the calender changes...and we leave behind the month of July. We've done SO much this month, I better update this blog before time slips away.

-My husband's father passed away last month...and I sent my Love back to Maine for the funeral (His older sweet sister paid for his ticket). Another younger sister helped us finance our son's wedding. We are none-too proud to say we have an amazing family relatives!

-My younger brother brought his family from Israel for a summer visit-awesome time:)

-Well, let me think. We had another reception for our newly-weds-July 16th

-Our third son returned home- after spending the summer down in Cedar City.

-My hubby started working again on the SLC LDS temple-electrical work.

-I'm back in the mix of serving with Relief Society Presidency. Kinda had the time off for July. It was so wonderful to spend so much time down in Southern Utah.

-My middle kids went to Youth Conference Camp up here in the Salt Lake area.

-I went to see my dear friend, Jen (who's husband just passed away this month). She lives in Idaho...but was down to see her father in-law in Provo area.

This month has been filled with tons of activities. I'm so grateful for the safety and good health my family has been kept in *Heavenly Father has truly sent his angels to watch over my busy family.
(It's been such a wonderful month:)

New Year-New Post

I've had an awesome holiday season with my kids and husband. Part of me will miss the sleeping-in till ten days, but the other part of me is SO happy to send the family off to work and school again! *Let the housework and blogging begin*

Through out the weeks of celebrating and shopping, my computer (lap-top) crashed and then died. There was a brief moment when a sign flashed up-saying that a virus was attacking it. We had Norton's anti-virus program downloaded, but this virus was a doozy. I finally just shut my lap-top down...and went to the library. My seventeen year old, has graciously allowed me to use his today... Thank you Nascar!

This morning, I dropped my cell phone in the kitchen sink-while doing dishes:( Talk talk talking-wet hands- propped on shoulder...plop! Now it's drying in a bowl of rice. So, I'm without direct communication with the outside world. Not too bad, but scary, if the school is trying to call me.

My old washing machine sounds like a jack-hammer when it spins out now. LOUD and annoying! I'm hiding if the neighbors start banging on my front door:)  Maybe I'll need to start using the laundry mat down at the front office. That is a big plus about living in a town-house.

Lot's of challenges for the month, but a really great excuse to put my feet up and watch T.V :) *I just know somethings going to happen to my little television next!!!

Thanksgiving Evening

Thanksgiving Day Morning

We drove down to Southern Utah last night and traffic was crazy!

Dad was in the jeep-Nascar was in his little car and I was in my van...

Starwars could not keep his eyes open...

Casanova and his wife have an awesome house!

The kids all played games after breakfast

It is so awesome to see my kids ALL together!

This is Casanova's gorgeous kitchen

The kitchen table is perfect size

Super lucky to have an island:)

The guest bathroom is beautiful with a painting done by my daughter in-law

I love the hardware on the doors and closets

The kitchen is so big for a starter home

It is a dream come true  for this mom to sit back and see her whole family!

The back yard is fenced in:)

They have three dogs (usually inside-but I'm allergic)

More pictures of the feast later on...bye!
