Buying Kits

Hanging Out

I went shopping on line this morning and bought some kits. Then I had to download them and take them apart. It took all morning. In between doing all this I watered my garden really well and made some Amish Country Bread. I have decided I need to start another Sour Dough Starter. Janna and I really like it. That's my next job.

I made this page this afternoon. I just keep scrapping and I don't care if they all look alike. That's the reason I stopped scrapping because they all looked alike. But being 2 years behind certainly didn't make it better and who cares if they all look alike. It's the pictures we are scrapping so I'm on a roll.

Grateful Statement: I am grateful for the Gospel. I am grateful for the power of prayer. I am grateful for the knowledge that Heavenly Father loves me and knows my struggles and joys. I am blessed!

Went to the Dentist

Tigers

Today was the day to get my Crown done at the Dentist. Thank goodness for nitrous oxide to make me not much care what they are doing to me. I think it's the grinding noise that bugs me. But the worse part is done so I am relieved.

I picked 6 ears of Corn from my garden, Cucumbers in vinegar from my garden, Mashed potatoes from the store and Chicken Fried Steak that the kids love. I had most of it done before the Dentist so I just had to come home and finish it. I love going out and picking vegetables from my garden. I cut up and froze all the Bell Peppers that were ready so I can grab a handful for stir fry or whatever I need them for.

I worked on this page of cute Austin and now I'm going to bed.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for Esther and the wonderful dentist she is. I am blessed to live in an age where there is such knowledge to keep my poor teeth together.

Going to the Temple

Critters

Today was our weekly Temple Day. Sue and I went to Rexburg. It was a good, peaceful day. I love going to the Temple and feeling the peace that is there just for me. 

I made this page today and downloaded all the Summer Driggs kits that I had missed. It takes forever to download these kits. 

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the Temple. What a wonderful place to recieve inspiration and feel the love of Heavenly Father. 

Pedicure Day

Training Red

Mary and I went to Mia Bella and had pedicures. It's so fun to go with Mary. She is sweet and funny and a really good person. We made appointments for one month and also hair appointments.

Came home and fixed dinner and now it's time to relax. I woke up at 4am so I'm a little tired.

I made this page this morning. One by one I'm getting them done.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for a friend like Mary. I am blessed to get to do things with her. 

I Won't Give Up!

The last day of Summer for the kids and I decided I should can the tub of Tomatoes from my garden. I put them all in boiling water, peeled the skin off, put them in quart jars and put them in the boiling water canner. The jars were hot when I started but by the time I had packed the jars, they were cold. I put them in the water and I heard two pops. Oops! I know that sound. Of the 4 quarts that I had ended up with I had two crack. So I got them out and emptied all the tomatoes into a kettle and made a batch of Spaghetti Sauce. Tommy and the kids liked it, so I guess it was worth it. I know next time to put the jars in the boiling water one at a time as they are packed, or cook the tomatoes.
It rained off and on all day and really started coming down about the time I took the kids to YM/YW. It's good for my garden, so I don't mind.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful that I have a garden to harvest things from. I know how to grow stuff in Idaho now and it gets better each year. Heavenly Father gave me all I need! I am blessed.

Going Home to Idaho

 Austin reading his book.

 Long road home.

Austin took a picture of us.

I got up early and took my shower, packed my stuff, put the sheets from Dean and Amie's bed in the washer and off we went. We stopped by John's to say goodbye and give Heather and Gracie a hug and John too. How I love my family. Then it started raining on us about Tremonton and got worse all the way through Pocatello. But we finally made it and it's good to be home. I do love watching those cute Ingram boys. They keep me laughing all the time.

Janna made General Tso chicken and I made some Chocolate Chip Cookies for her. Now it's my bed time.

Grateful Statement: I am grateful for a safe drive home. It's good to feel safe when I am driving. I am blessed so much it makes me cry to think of all I have.

Going to Heather's Ward

 Gracie's is ready for Church!

Beautiful mom and daughter.

Play Ball

Today was a wonderful day. I got to go to church with Heather and Gracie. We went to Heather's ward and met the Bishop and attended the Gospel Essential's Class and met the Relief Society President. We didn't go to Relief Society because Gracie had had enough. So I took Heather home and came home and changed sheets and straightened up the house. Amie's cousins are coming today from Virginia to put their son in the MTC. Now I am all ready for them.

The boys went to church by themselves today and were very good. I love that I can send them on their own and don't have to worry about them.

Spent the rest of the afternoon taking a little nap and working on this page. 

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for Heather and Gracie. I love that Heather wants Gracie to go to church. She will be blessed for her efforts.
