Running Kids

Today I took Harrison to school because he couldn't ride his bike and the bus had already gone. Then I got Hayden out the door and took my shower. Then I got a call from Harrison, he had run out of strips for his tester and needed lunch so I made him a sandwich and found the strips and took them to his school. Then I thought I would go to the mall but I just didn't have it in me so I came home. John stopped by to give me a hug and that has been my morning.
I indexed a bunch of records today so I feel like I did something useful. Heather can't wait to go home tomorrow. Gracie is driving her nuts because she can't get down in Tommie's house so Heather has to wrestle her all day long.
I made leftovers for dinner and steamed broccoli and made a salad. It was pretty good and healthy.
Now it's time for me to go to bed and get some sleep for my long ride home tomorrow.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for the indexing program. As I did the Passport Applications there was a picture attached of the person and tons of information. Heavenly Father wants all this information brought forth so we can do the work. I am blessed to know how to do this.

Puzzle

Scavenger Hunt

I took Heather, Gracie, Megan and Cheyenne to lunch today. We went to Subway in Walmart and then picked up a couple of things for the house.

I finished the Reavis family I was working on. I am ready to print out the cards for the ladies. I sent the men to have the Temple do them. I just can't get them done but the Temples need names so now they have a few more.

I also started indexing again. It has been too long. I need to do a couple of batches each day. I know this is important work so I need to get my tail going....

Last night someone left an envelope on the front porch for Hannah to ask her to prom. It was a scavenger hunt. So off she went and came back with puzzle that she had to put together. Harrison, Hayden and I helped her. So fun to be a senior.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the ability I have to do indexing. I have done it for years and have been blessed by many spiritual experience along the way.

At Home

I felt so at home in the Elk Ridge 5th Ward. So many familiar faces and so many wonderful hugs. I love these people to death. I left after Sacrament so I could keep finding my Reavis family. They are the ones that I have been seeking. I knew someone didn't have their work done. All the kids were not on Family Search and no work had been done. So I'm keeping the ladies and sending the men to the Temple System. Still have 3 kids to research and the family is done. I love Ancestry.com. I just bit the bullet and bought it month by month.
Another dinner by the famous chef Amie. Tuna Casserole... One of my all time favorites. I made a salad and Hannah made brownies for dessert. Then it was back to the Reavis' family until late.
That has been my restful Sabbath day. Not to bed.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to help in the missionary work in our ward. Susan Tuckett opened my eyes today. I told her about our 50% inactive and how the Bishop is gathering them in. She said "I wish I was there with you to help." It made me realize that this is a blessing to be able to work in Rigby, Idaho, gathering the inactives. I am blessed.

Doing Geneology, Jurrasic Park, and Scrapbooking

SHHS

Stitches

 The beginning of Harrison's arrow.

Final arrow made from a crooked stick.

Hayden loves his ipod.

Crazy Hannah eating chocolate.

What a wonderful, peaceful relaxing day. I worked on geneology, played Jurrasic Park and Candy Crush, and scrapbooked two pages. Now that's what I call a good day.

I kept track of the kids and where they were at so I wouldn't lose anyone. 

Amie had a spaghetti pie in the freezer I heated up for dinner. Harrison wasn't hungry and Hannah went to a Birthday get together for one of her friends so it was just Hayden and I for dinner.

Harrison went over to Christian Hayes house for a couple of hours tonight. Almost time to round him up. 

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for my Ingram Grandkids. I love them to pieces. I am blessed beyond measure.

Gone to Utah

Heather, Gracie jumped in the car with me and we were off to Utah. Heather surprised her mom with a visit. It was priceless. Gracie slept the whole way.
I am taking care of the kids while Dean and Amie go away until Wednesday. I am so glad they get to do something fun.
Now I am beat and going to bed.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for a safe trip here. I know Heavenly Father watches over me when I travel.

MIA - But I'm Back

 Birthday Girl

Hard Work

What in the world happened to me for a week and a half. I just don't know. I do know I have been busy.
I did manage to do these pages sometime in there. So I guess I can account for some time.
Redoing Visiting Teaching after our conferences took the entire presidency meeting time.

Today Crystal and I went to visit Jessica who was baptized on Saturday. We gave her the lesson and then I asked her if she wanted to be a visiting teacher. She said yes!! So I have a partner for her already so we are good to go.

Then we stopped by a new sister in our ward and welcomed her to Relief Society. She is having a baby next week maybe so we need to be ready to take meals into her and give her a baby blanket. 

I also went to the Temple this morning and I am going to my Book of Mormon class tonight with Sue. We discussed the three Nephites and why it's important to us to know about translated beings. Very insightful!

That's my day.... After my class Heather is going to make me a pineapple coconut shake and I'm watching American Idol.

Grateful Statement: Today I am so grateful for Jessica and her good choices. I just love her already, tatoos and all. What a kind and sweet person she is. I am blessed to be able to get to know her through visiting teaching.

Ward Council

 Janna and Harley

Austin

Today I went to Ward Council and gave the Spiritual Thought. It was a very good meeting. Our ward is doing so much missionary work and so many inactive and part member families are coming back. Two fathers have started coming so their kids can get baptized. We are on fire!!!

Lyn Olsen taught our Relief Society lesson and she was awesome. She is a natural born teacher. I am so glad the Lord directed her to me. They also called Aarin Smith as my first councilor. She will also be so much fun to work with. I know she is a hard worker.

I came home from church and took a nap. I was so tired. Heather and Janna had a bail call last night so I watched Gracie while they met the mom to bail out her son. By the time I got to bed is was past eleven and one before I got to sleep. Then I got up at 5:30 so I could be at the ward at 7:25.

That's been my beautiful sabbath. So grateful for a day of rest.

I also made these two pages last week. One day I will be caught up.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for my Savior. I want to know Him so much better than I do.
