Sabbath Day in Elk Ridge

Amie Presents

Today I went to church with Dean and Amie and the kids. It was so strange to be back in my old ward. There was so many people that I didn't know. But I loved seeing all my old friends. What a joy the Gospel is. No matter where you go it's always the same.

After church Amie made Tacos for dinner. They were very yummy. Then Shane and Janece came over to celebrate Amie's birthday. Dean got her a new camera that her mother had recommended. She was so happy. We had Coldstone Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake. I had one little piece and it was delicious. 

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the Gospel. I love going to church and I am glad I have finally realized how very important it is to partake of the Sacrament every week. What a blessing!

General Woman's Broadcast and Amie's Birthday

Waiting in Line

 Beautiful Choir with Voices like Angels

The Cheesecake Factory with Amie and Karen

Amie and Karen both have missionaries in the South Mexico City Mission. They are in pictures together when they have Zone conference. We met another friend of Karen named Karen (would you believe it) and sat together. Of course, I had to go to the bathroom and when I started to come back in they had me go around to the doors on the other side. I was totally lost and finally just had them set me down. Then Amie (my knight in shining armor) showed up to take me back to my seat. I must be getting old.  

It was a Glorious conference with a Glorious message that Heavenly Father and Jesus loves each one of us. He knows our trials and weaknesses and still he love us. I was so uplifted and came away knowing I can do hard things because of my Savior and Heavenly Father. They love me no matter what. What a wonderful message.

After conference was over we walked over to The Cheese Factory but it was packed so we drove to another one on our way home. They sang Happy Birthday to Amie and brought her a little dish of Ice Cream with chocolate sauce and whip cream on top.

I am too tired to move so it's off to bed for me. All the walking was good for me but now it's time to relax.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for this wonderful Daughter-In-Law of mine. She is the very best. I am glad Dean was smart enough to snag her before someone else did.

Hayden and Soccer [Always a Good Match]

In Payson playing Soccer

We headed out about 9am and drove to Utah. Heather and Gracie went with Tommy and I. We stopped at McDonald's for lunch. I love big macs but I chose their Southwest Salad. It was okay. Then it was on to Springville to drop Heather off and head up to Elk Ridge. I settled in the basement and started sorting all my camera and phone dumps. What a job. I did get most of it done so that was a good start.

We went to see Hayden play soccer int he afternoon. He is really good. It was fun to watch him run his tail off after the ball.

Amie made Penne Pasta with spinach. It was so yummy. She always makes such good stuff for us.

Now it's off to bed.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for this grandson of mine. Hayden is so sweet and gives me good hugs. I am blessed to have him forever.

Watching Gracie

Grandpa playing with Gracie

I watched Gracie today and made Chicken Noodle Casserole for dinner. I also picked up my house and cleaned my kitchen. I attempted to start packing for our trip to Utah tomorrow but I am just too tired.
Still figuring out the care for Sue Hathaway. Each day it is a new challenge. But I know Heaven Father will tell me each day what is needed.
Now it's off to never land. Good Night!
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the sweet sisters in our ward that serve each other with a willing heart and helping hands. I see the Savior in each of them.

Poor Little Gracie

Janna and Gracie

We took Gracie to the doctor today. She has been sick since Monday running a fever and just feeling miserable. She has a sores all over on the inside of her mouth so she really doesn't want to eat or drink anything. But she now has antibiotics so she should be on the mend soon.
After Janna came home from work she took Gracie for a ride on the horse. So cute. She loves to ride with Aunt Janna.
I made Tacos for dinner and now it's time for bed.
Grateful Statement: I am so blessed to have this wonderful daughter of mine. She is so full of compassion for everyone and always trying to help people. I am blessed!

Bailee is 16!!!

 Bailee's Balloons

Bailee's Cake

Today was a busy day. I made Bailee's birthday cake, cooked hamburgers for her and went to the store and bought her favorite cereal and fruit snacks. She had a good surprise waiting when she came home from school.

I also babysat Gracie today while Heather worked. Harley watched her for me when I went to the store. She is a good babysitter. Now I am tired and it's time to go to bed. 

Grateful Statement: I am so very grateful for this granddaughter of mine. She is growing up so fast. We are blessed to have her in our family. I love her tons!

Took Ruth to the Airport

Ruth

Gracie and Toby having a little drink.

I went to Church and had a wonderful Sabbath experience. I came home and Ruth and I worked on sorting more of Tassey's wedding pictures. Then all too soon it was time to take Ruth to the Airport. Heather and Gracie went with me. It was sad to say goodbye.

After I came home I dealt with some Relief Society stuff. I visited a sister that just had surgery and another sister that needed a map of the ward. It has been a busy weekend figuring out how we are going to take care of the sister who had surgery. But I know the Lord will let me know how it is to be done.
Gracie was outside drink out of a sprinkler when Toby decided to join her. I just had to post this picture Heather took of her. So dang cute.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for willing sisters that will serve each other. The Lord is merciful to us.
