Cha Cha sent her earrings and a crown

Bailee and Gracie with a cheesy smile

Off to trick or treat

Janna, Bailee and I took Gracie trick or treating. She had tons of fun going to doors and collecting candy. Janna finally went and got my car so we could go to another subdivision. Bailee would take her up to the doors while Janna and I waited in the car. It was pretty cold.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for this little girl that brings so much fun and laughter in our lives. I am so blessed to be able to take care of her.

Going to Church with Gracie

 Ready for Church

Eating her Cheerios

Gracie and went to church today. She did so good and actually went into the nursery. Crystal stayed with her for moral support but she did very good. By the time we came home it was almost 3pm and Gracie was exhausted. She went to sleep for 2 hours and so did I.

My class was so cute and fun. They are pretty smart. My cute little Carter tried hard today and was very good in opening exercises. He just had a little issue with his tie but he is getting so much  better.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for Crystal and how willing she is to help me with Gracie. I am blessed to have her be able to help.

Rough Night

Cleaning house with her vacuum and my dust mop.

I got so sick in the middle of the night. And it continued the next day. I will get up in the morning and feel great. I was pretty tired all day. I just hate how often I get sick anymore. I was always so healthy. Old age is so fun. I was going to try to go to Walmart but I couldn't muster up the strength. Enough of health issues. I had a good time with my Gracie. She just makes this household happy.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. What a blessing it has always been in my life.

Rexburg Temple

Sue and I went to the Rexburg Temple. When we drove up we heard this funny noise and looked up and a drone came in and hovered over the Temple. We think they must have been taking pictures. Pretty awesome to see. We did sealings so I can get them all done. It was so good to hear the names of my ancestors being sealed. It was a fabulous time.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the Temple. I am grateful that I am worthy to go. I am grateful for all I learn every time I go. What a blessing and to have Sue to go with me was wonderful.

Blood Test

I got up early this morning and took my shower and went to get my blood drawn. Gracie went to Lolo's so I had tons of time to get my house in order. What fun it is to have energy. Gracie will be going full time to now so I will have my morning and afternoon everyday.
Dr. Harper's nurse called me to let my know my Cholesterol is high so he is changing my medication. And then I go back in two months to have it all checked again.
I am tired and going to bed. I want to hug my pillow.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for my wonderful daughter that could see that I just couldn't keep watching Gracie all day long. She is such a blessing in my life.

Going to the Doctor

Baker Austin

I watched Gracie yesterday and today. She still had a little cough. She made messes and I scrapbooked. I also went to the doctor and I am glad I waited for Dr. Harper. He is such a pleasant man and knows his stuff.
I tried to roast two whole chickens and it took forever to cook. I am cooking one every  week until I can figure it out.
That's been my day. Now it's time for bed.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for Dr. Harper. I feel so good when I wait for an appt with him. I am blessed.

Back Home Again

 Gracie May

We got up and packed our stuff and took off. We went by John's and said goodbye and then picked up Gracie from Tommie's and off we went. We got all the way to West Valley before I started to find the M & M's that I had gotten for scrapping. I was going to give a couple to Gracie so she would be content. Then I realized I couldn't find my purse. Tommy stopped at a gas station and I searched the car. No purse. So we had to go back to Dean and Amie's and by the time we got back it was noon. My purse was sitting right by the chair where I left it. So instead of being in Tremonton we were just leaving Elk Ridge at noon. 2 hours of wasted time. But we got on the road and before I knew it Gracie had finally conked out. It was a little hard for her to remain a happy camper in her car seat but we got home around 4pm. We stopped at a rest stop so I could change Gracie's diaper and let her chase Papa around the grass. Then we were off for the last leg of our journey. I was so glad to have finally made it home. Janna took Gracie for a ride on Red. The wind was blowing so hard it was a very short ride. I made White Chicken Chili for dinner with my bottled beans and chicken. Super fast and easy. Then it was time for bed.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for an understanding hubby that didn't give me one moment of grief even though it was my fault. I am blessed to have him as my eternal companion.
