A wonderful miracle in our family

On Thursday, March 27, 2008 my grandpa (who is 73) took out his endowments in the Manti Temple! I was able to go through with him and it was just SO neat. He looked so cute in all his white clothes. I couldn't quit looking at him and smiling. Later on he said that every time he looked over at me I was looking at him with this huge cheesy grin. I was just so happy. He had a very wonderful and sacred experience in the Temple & I was grateful that Heavenly Father blessed him with that experience! What is even more wonderful is that on April 26th my grandma & grandpa will be getting sealed and I get to stand in as proxy for my mom. I feel so honored and blessed to do this for my mom. I am going to try to be very reverent and do all I can to prepare for this experience! I am just grateful for this wonderful miracle that now my mom can be sealed to her parents & I to my grand parents!

My parents graves

Both of my parents are burried in Salina, Utah so when I go visit my grandma I always visit their graves.

Easter 2008

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday

We had fun coloring eggs except that Jayden was burning up with a fever and couldn't get up so I colored her eggs for her.

My girls Easter baskets and plasma cars

I love this picture! Kaylee would pull something out of her basket and say, "awesome!" or she would say, "oh my!" she was so excited, it was darling!

My 4.0 honor roll student

Jayden has gotten perfect grades all year long and I am wanting to compensate her for doing so great. She has two seperate savings account, one that Josh & I contribute to every month that will be used for college. Then she opened one for herself and she is saving for a car for when she is 16. I feel like I would want to put the money I gave her into one of the accounts rather than handing her money and having it get wasted at Target. Anyway I am still uncertain what I want to do so I was wondering if you could tell me things you do for your kids or things your parents did for you.

My two little sickies

Josh and Kaylee are pretty sick right now. Josh stayed in bed all day on Saturday and I have never seen him do that the whole time we have been married. Every time he gets sick he just keeps on going but not yesterday. He has been landscaping our backyard and I think he just got totally worn down. Kaylee keeps fevering, has a bad cough and a runny nose. But she still finds those bursts of energy every once in a while and goes crazy.

One of my MANY ocd's!

I have the worst ocd's with my food storage! I want my pantry to be completley stocked and to look perfect! Linn's is having a case lot sale right now and I have already been twice and contemplating a third trip. I just want to be prepared. With the rising gas prices it is forcing food prices up and I just fear that we won't be able to keep up. If you don't know me well I will give you a bit of an insight about me; i'm a huge worry wart!

This is my freezer. I will be forever greatfull to my friend Becky Thomas for getting me going on freezer meals! I don't know how I ever did dinner's before this. It has completley simplified my life, and I LOVE simple!!! Now I just need a generator because if I ever lost all my meals I would totally die!........Thursday I took 3 hours and took everything I had out of my freezer and cleaned it. Then I wrote down everything I have and use by dates so I can make a spreadsheet of it on my computer. I have 38 meals in my freezer! I love that and yes I know you are all thinking, wow she does have some serious ocd's, but hey atleast I can admit it and my family is stocked up & prepared for a bad situation.

Ashlyn's Dr Seuss Week March 3-6 2008

Star Student

Ashlyn was star student last week & she was so excited! on Monday her teacher read clues about whom the person was and Ashlyn said she was so excited she could have screamed when she found out it was her. On Tuesday we brought in this poster we made of her. Ashlyn had told me that the most important pictures were of her & Lucky. I can't remember what Wednesday was. Thursday she got to bring a toy from home and stick it in a bag and we played 20 questions with the class to guess what it was. Then on Friday I brought Lucky in for show & tell and chocolate donuts with sprinkles. I think it was a good week for Ashlyn!
