Balancing Accounts

I slept so good last night that I thought it was 6am when I woke up but because of Daylight Savings it was 7am. I haven't slept so good in a long time. It was so refreshing. I spent the day balancing checkbooks. I did my personal, the house one, and Janna's two. I also made Taco Soup for dinner and folded laundry and vacuumed. Logan came over and helped Tommy vent our dryers under the house. He is such a nice man. He thinks Tommy is just the best.
Scott took Bailee into town to buy some Embrodiery Floss so she can make friendship  bracelets. She is working hard to learn how. That would be Janna all bundled up in the quilt I made her when she was 10 or 11. It's still keeping her warm.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for my scriptures today. I find so many answers and things that apply to me.
John 17 - John 18 In verse 20 it says "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word." I love that Jesus prayed for the Apostles and also for us.

Going to Church With Tommy

How about that! Janna got up this morning and told her dad to "Get dressed, we are going to church." And miracles never cease he got up and got his suit on and away we went. Janna and Austin, Tommy and me. We met another neighbor that lives kitty corner to Janna's house and is Janna's visiting teacher. Her name is Peggy and her son just came home from his mission in Texas and another son is waiting for his call this week. She seemed very nice. I just have to jump in and go to everything and I'll feel right at home. I know that no matter where you go there will always be good people in the church. Tommy even stayed for Priesthood Meeting. Maybe Janna can get him straightened out. I can't seem to.
After church we ate lunch and Harley took her mom around the block in the Excursion. She said it was a very big car compared to what she drives in drivers ed. What a cute kid she is.
Scott will be home sometime this evening. He has been gathering antlers and took Bailee and Jeremy with him. That's been my wonderful Sabbath day!!
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for my daughter that will go to church with me and get her dad to go to.
John 16 - John 17  Jesus teaches about the Holy Ghost in this chapter. I need to know more and study about the him.

Newest Members of Our Farm

Harley and her new goats. A set of twins and a cute black one.

Austin and his Rip Stick on a sunny day in the neighborhood.

Today was a dog doodie pick up day. The snow has melted on the front lawn revealing lots of dog poo. So I picked it up. What a job. So much easier when you do it everyday. But I got almost all of it done except the part of the lawn where it is too wet. Monday I will finish it.
I also swept up my house and got all the stuff put in the trash off the floor. Lots of wire and dirt. But it looks better and it's a job I can do. Tommy finished the wiring in the house. I now have cable and phone boxes wired in. He has to do the outside eaves and garage but it's a muddy mess so he has to figure out how he can do those on a ladder without sinking down to China.
Janna had to work today. She had to train the new person that takes the probation kids out to do Community Service. That's the job she started with. So I made Tacos for dinner. Again it's time for bed because we are all tired. I would have never believed picking up poop could make you tired but it did.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for Sunshine. Heavenly Father knew I needed the sun to shine. It just warms my heart.
John 15 - John 16  Verse 9, "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love." Can you believe that the Savior loves me as much as Heavenly Father loves Him. So comforting!

Last of Stuff Put In Storage

Here we are in Walmart and Janna is taking work calls. The job never goes away. LOL

Janna, Tommy and I took the trailer and unloaded it into our storage unit. What a relief to be all done. Now I have to put Janna's house back together and get everything of mine put somewhere. That should be a fun time. How I love my daughter to let me move in with her while we finish our addition. She always tells me "It's all good" but sometimes I wonder if it really is all good.
Janna and I went to Walmart to get groceries and storage stuff. I bought tubs to go under our bed to store our clothes in. I also got another set of sheets for our bed so I don't have to wait until the laundry is done to make it. I put all the groceries and stuff away and then sat in my favorite chair for a little while. Janna made Chicken and Rice for dinner. It was yummy. We spent the evening watching TV and hanging out. Now I'm tired and going to go to bed.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful today for my daughter that is so willing to help me do anything. We really have a good time together.
John 14 - John 15  In verse 15 it says, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." I love this verse and it reminds me why we keep the commandments.

Just Hanging Out

I just spent the day hanging out and doing my laundry and making potato soup. I was feeling a little lost today and Judy sent me the sweetest text. It just made my day. Tommy worked on the electrical and I accomplished nothing. Tomorrow will be better, I just know it.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for my dog Molly today. She just sits at my feet and waits for a pat on the head. She loves me no matter what.
John 13 - John 14  Verse 34 and 35 says, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." Isn't this a song? I love this song and I love this scripture.

Going Home to Idaho

I got the kids ready for school and made sure Harrison had everything he needed and waited for the bus to come and followed it down the hill. Then Tommy and I headed to Idaho. John came to say goodbye. He looks like he is doing good, I just hope he really is. Dean called to say his plane had landed. Then I knew we were on our way. If they would have been delayed or anything we would have turned around in Salt Lake and came back. But it all worked out. Tommy was anxious to get on the road. Brother Swensen told him our trailer looked like the Clampett's on Beverley Hillbillies. Too funny, I used to watch that show all the time.
I organized all my pictures off my camera that I had downloaded onto my computer. I still have a little sorting to do but the bulk of it is done. That was a job. I need to be better about doing it as they are taken.
Molly was so excited to see me. I think she missed me alot. I played frisbee with her and Maggie 3 or 4 times to run off all their energy. Then I made dinner and watched the Jazz game and I am so tired I'm going to bed and it's only 8 pm.
Grateful Statement:  I am grateful that Heavenly Father made it possible for me to make this move to Idaho. I can see His hand it my life.
John 11 - John 13 In verse 37 it says, "But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him." He was in their midst and still they didn't believe. I hope if he is ever in my midst I will know Him and believe.

Loading Up

I went to check on Hayden and found him on the couch sound asleep with his book still in his hand.

Harrison with all his supplies checking his blood sugar level.

Tommy and I finished loading up all our stuff this morning. We had to wrap everything in plastic bags in case it rains. Tommy and John loaded my curio cabinet into the back of Janna's Excursion on top of all the scrapping paper. There isn't one spot left for anything. We are going to have to find room for our luggage. That should be fun.
I went to the Jr High and picked up Hannah and took her to Walmart to get her an Underarmor but they were out of them. I did find some bubble gum for Harrison and Hayden. We then stopped by the post office so I could put in a change of address. Then on to the High School so Hannah could get her stuff for pictures out of Hailey's gym locker. Then off to her friends house so she can go with her at 4pm. Then home to make sure the boys are good. I don't know how Amie does it. And she does a million times more things than I do.

I made hamburgers from "Steve", a cow that Dean raised. It was pretty good. I also made baked potato wedges with Olive Oil. Harrison really loved the potato. We weighed his potato and found a 4oz one and cooked it so he would know how many carbs. This is getting easier and easier. After dinner Harrison went to the City Council meeting with Josh Dalton. John came to dinner and ate hamburgers with us. He wanted to know what was for dessert and I said nothing. He said when he comes to eat Amie always has a delicious dessert. I told him he better come back when Amie is here because there wasn't any dessert tonight. I gave him a Mars bar from Tommy's stash and that had to be his dessert. What a funny guy.

I was going to go to Homemaking Meeting but I just couldn't swing it and then I was too tired to move. And now I am going to bed. My body says it's time to sleep.

Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for Hailey and Hannah. They are so good to do what I ask of them. What wonderful young women they are.

John 10 - John 11  Verse 27 says, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." I hope I will always hear His voice and follow him.
