Going to the Temple

Went to the Temple today with Sue. That's about all I could muster today.
Every time I have any dental work done my mouth breaks out in canker sores. I have one on the side of my tongue that is huge. I can hardly eat and it hurts to talk. So I have been a slacker. I will try to do better.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for the Temple and that my Savior took upon him my sins so that I can feel worthy to enter His holy house. I am so blessed to live between two Temples.

Going to the Dentist Again

Today I went to the dentist and got my permanent crown put on. They thought they would try it without any pain killer. Not!!!! So they numbed me up and everything went fine after that.
I also made Spinach Pesto for the 2nd time in my life today. When Heather was here we got some spinach for the pizza's and only used a little bit so I decided to make some pesto. It worked really well and I gave some to Sue. I knew no one at my house would eat it. I am going to make pasta tomorrow and put some on it.

 How high can this kid jump.

 I really have been scrapping my pictures. I'm going to try to do more. I wish I didn't get tired of doing things. But I think I am back at this.
Ron took Bailee, Janna and Austin out to dinner because today is Bailee birthday. How can she be 15 years old. Times just keeps flying by

Grateful Statement: I am grateful for the Gospel. Hardly a day goes by that I am not reminded of how wonderful this gospel makes me feel. I am blessed!

Temple Day

Sue and I went to the Temple this morning and had a really good time. So much peace and comfort comes to me inside the Temple walls.
After that I went to Walmart, Home Depot and Kohl's with Janna. I got some cute little jammies for Gracies with feet for the winter and a winter lined zip up suit with a hoody so she can be warm and cozy in the winter months. I will sent these off tomorrow to Heather.
Heather signed up for beauty school and they have day care so she can take Gracie with her. She is excited. Me Too!! Well it's my bed time. I am tired.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for my little Gracie. So precious and wonderful to have a little baby in the family. I am blessed.

Bailee's New Puppy

 One Happy Bailee

 One Cute Dog

Texting all her friends.

Janna and Harley drove all the way to Centerville, Utah and back home to pick up this cute little Sheltie Puppy for Bailee for her Birthday. She always wanted a Maggie of her own and now she has one. She was so happy it made her cry. Now on to the chewing puppy era. She named her Toby and she is settling in really good. Maggie even tolerates her.

I went to the Book of Mormon class with Sue tonight. I just love this class. He makes the Book of Mormon make sense. He talked about the war chapters in Alma. They are there because it is about the war in heaven and Jesus' side and Satan's side. What good information. I will never read these chapters in the same way again.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for Brother Black and his insight into the Scriptures. He must be an awesome seminary teacher for BYU Idaho students. WONDERFUL!!!

What Did I Do Today?

I know I cooked dinner. I know that I watched Sarah again today. I know I delivered Visiting Teaching stuff to my supervisor. I know I did laundry. I know that we had a downpour and lightning and thunder at 4am and I couldn't get back to sleep. That's all I know. So today I am a zombie.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for the rain. I didn't have to water my garden when it really needed it. Heavenly Father is good to me.

Day of Service

I visited with a non member sister that has a 7 day old baby girl to see what we could do for her. I bought a blanket and Crystal and I took it over to her. Jessica let us bring dinners to her for 3 days. So I made dinner and Crystal made dessert and I took it over at 5:30. I set up dinners for tomorrow night and Crystal set up dinners for Wednesday.
I watched Sarah after school for Denise so she wouldn't be home alone. She always is curious as to what I am cooking. Funny girl.
After delivering my chicken noodle casserole, cucumbers from my garden and a loaf of Amish Country Bread I had made, I grabbed Tommy's truck and took Colleen to Home Depot to get wood for her fence so she can get a propane tank delivered so she has heat.
After all that I was tired and went to bed early.
Missing my Heather and Gracie today. My house is too quiet.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for the opportunity I had today to serve the sisters in my ward. Heavenly Father is so caring of all of us and sends us to watch over each other.

Austin and Gracie

Today was the big day for our sweet little Gracie. She was blessed by Brother Clayson, my home teacher and the Bishopric and Brother Neville and Brother Johnson stood in the circle. It was a powerful blessing and so much about the influence Gracie would be on the lives of her family and friends. Heather and I had a good cry, especially for me when they gave her the name of Gracie May Janice Ingram. My heart just melted that she would have my name. What a joyful time! 

Everyone went home after Sacrament so Heather and Megan could get ready to catch the shuttle and I stayed until Relief Society was over. Then it was off to the shuttle and sweet goodbyes. What a wonderful time we had. 

Grateful Statement: I must be so grateful this day that the Gospel can bring such marvelous changes in peoples lives. I am grateful that my family will support each other. I am blessed to have Gracie for my Great Granddaughter.
