Texas Road House for Birthday Dinner

 My daughter the Skidster operator...

Janna made this day my birthday day again. I do believe I am having a janice-a-thon. Janna had called to make an appointment for a pedicure for us, so we walk in and they had no appt set up for us. We were at Serenity Spa in Rigby but we finally figured it out. Janna had thought she was calling Serenity but she had called LaBelle's. We had a good laugh over that. It was tons of fun and while my toes dried Janna went to the tanning beds and got some sun.
After we were all done with that we gathered up everyone and went to dinner at Texas Road House. They have the most delicious rolls. Just like my mom used to make. We are all tired and ready for bed. Good Night!!
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for a wonderful daughter that loves me. She is so sweet to me. Thanks to her I had another wonderful day celebrating my 65th.
Matthew 13 - Matthew 14  This chapter is filled with parables that Jesus taught. I had made a note in the margins about verse 32 the says, "birds = Angels come to gather their children" Old Testament Study Guide.

Walls Are Going Up

The framer started on the walls today. And the Truss man from BMC came. They are redoing the blueprints for some reason. We are the only truss job BMC has right now so they are all over it. Lucky for us.
Tommy and I went to the store for a few things for Potato soup and I had to get a new pair of slippers because I left mine at home. We came home and snuggled in Janna's nice warm house and watched it snow and watched the framer work hard. His helper hurt himself last night while skiing so Logan "the framer" told him to go to the doctor to make sure he didn't have a broken rib. Logan is the brother of Garth who Janna works with. Austin came home from school and the next thing I know he is out helping Logan keep the snow off the floor. Now that's a worker! And of Course I couldn't help taking a picture. And would there ever be a time on when we wouldn't have a kitty in the picture. Callie Cat was our star today.
I did laundry and made some delicious potato soup, even if I say so myself. Janna and Scott went bowling and I'm going to bed.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for all Janna's friends that always seem to know someone who can work for us. They are all so helpful.
Matthew 12 - Matthew 13  Jesus was judged because he picked corn for his disciples on the Sabbath. I guess judging other isn't a new thing after all.

Heading Out to Idaho

I packed up my bags and got ready to go to Idaho. I decided to leave today because there is a storm coming in sometime and I wanted to miss it. But before I left Heather and Judy took me to lunch for my birthday. We went to Mi Rancherito in Payson. The food was good but the company was better. I just love these two ladies. We always have fun together. Food, fun and laughter with good friends. That's how to spend your days.
I came home and loaded up my car and took Malachi home to Pleasant Grove and headed out. It was a good drive. No snow anywhere. I stopped once at a rest area near Tremonton so Molly and I could go potty and that was it. I got here at 6pm. The little kids were skiing so Janna and Scott had to go pick them up. Harley helped me set up my Nook and download the Scriptures. Now I am all set. Now it's bedtime because, once again I can't figure out how you can get tired sitting on you fanny, but I am.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for pray. I am grateful that I can pray for a safe trip and then head out by myself and never worry. I feel Heavenly Father watching over me.
Matthew 11 - Matthew 12  These are some of my favorite verses that have given me so much peace in my life. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

My Nook

I went visiting teaching with Jacque to Joan. We really had a nice visit. I came home and worked some more on Relief Society. Tommy left to go to Idaho but before he left he gave me a present for my birthday. It's a Nook... What a sweet hubbie. I had talked about wanting one for church so I wouldn't have to have my heavy scriptures. Now I have to have Harley show me how to download the Standard Works on it. It was a very nice surprise. I just love that hubbie of mine. I guess we must be really good for each other to last all these years. I also got the cutest handmade card from Heather.
John made Malachi steaks for dinner but I had already eaten. Malachi gave me wonderful hugs and told me he loved me. Nothing better than grandkids who love you...
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for my dear husband. I don't say it enough but I love him with all my heart.
Matthew 10 - Matthew 11  Jesus calls the Twelve Apostles. His instructions are so much like I think of when the missionaries are sent out.

Happy Birthday to Me

I had a most wonderful birthday. I made it to 65 with most of my facilities intact. My birthday started out with Hayden singing Happy Birthday to me and birthday wishes from the Ingram clan over the phone. Then Janna called to wish her mom a Happy Birthday and John gave me a wonderful birthday hug before he left for work. And lots of my friends gave me birthday wishes on facebook. I felt loved!!
I had a presidency meeting this morning and we got lots of planning done again. We had to clean the house for a showing so that took up the rest of my morning and afternoon. Then when the realtor came I took the dog for a drive. It seems we have done this a few times before!

 My cute, sweet Amie and John in the background. (Shhh, don't tell him his picture is on the internet.)

 My yummy Hot Fudge Walnut Brownie Sundae. It was yummy. My Hannah is quite the photographer...

Here we are all trying to eat it up, except Hayden because it has walnuts and he's allergic. Amie is helping him find ice cream and no nuts.

Dean and Amie took all of us to Dalton's for dinner. Amie is so funny. She keeps things fun. John and Malachi came with us too. Now if I would have had Janna and her family and Heather, I would have had all my wonderful family to celebrate with. My Chicken Alfredo was wonderful. Hannah had to help her grandma by reading the menu to me. We ended up getting the same thing, Chicken Alfredo. Malachi loved his too. We know what's good at Dalton's. We had a great time laughing and talking and opening presents. Heather tried to call me last night to wish her grandma a happy one but I couldn't get the call excepted. I hope she calls back tomorrow so I can tell her I didn't hang up on her. Besides, I love to hear her sweet laugh and have her tell me she loves me "big much up to the sky".

Grateful Statement: How could I not be grateful this day for my wonderful family. They make me feel so special. I love each and every one of them. I love their individuality and especially how they make me feel so very loved. I'm one lucky (or is it blessed) lady.

Matthew 9 - Matthew 10 Jesus was truly no respecter of persons. He loved everyone and turned no one away no matter what they had done. He was continually forgiving people their sins.

Snowy Sunday

Kathy, Darell, Tommy and I went to church this morning. The time has changed so we go at 9am now. It was a very good service. Good speakers, good teachers and good friends. Who could ask for more. We came home and had lunch and talked for awhile and them Kathy and Darell took a nap. I tried but couldn't sleep. We made steaks and baked potaotes for dinner and Kathy and I chatted until midnight and then I had to go to bed because my eyes were closing. That was my Sunday with my bestest friend.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful today for church. I am grateful for the things I learn. I am grateful for the friendship and love I feel in my ward.

My Bestest Friend is Here

I drove back down to the Hampton in Provo this morning to scrapbook. I finished this page and worked on a couple more that I will finish later. I left at 5pm to come home and spend time with Darell and Kathy. Darell has an appointment Monday so they came up for the weekend. I just love my bestest friend. She has a heart as big as the sky. We talked until 9:30 and then I had to go to bed because I was too tired to talk anymore.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for Kathy. I am so blessed to have such a good and loyal friend that loves me no matter what. And it's good to have a friend that remembers "when"...
Matthew 8 - Matthew 9 This chapter tells of the faith of the centurion soldier and the gifts of healing the Savior did.
