Food Storage

I have been working so hard on my food storage room and figuring out what we had and what we needed. WHAT A JOB!!! Last winter Kris had a feeling to buy wheat...so we took a trip up to Brigham City at the Honeyville store and bought soooo much wheat. Right after we bought it (within a month) the price went from $16.00 for 50lbs to $24.00 for 50lbs. (I am not sure what it is now) So his promptings saved us quite a bit since we bought so much. I am now grinding the wheat into flour and baking our bread. The case lot sales that are going around are great too, if anyone wants to know Winegars in Clearfiled (the corner of 1000 west and 300 north) has the best prices, however I have noticed Macey's are matching them on some items. Winegars does have a web site to look at the ad at winegars.com. The ad ends Sept 30th. Looking at the food storage we have, it gives us a "warm fuzzy" to know if something happened we are pretty self sufficient. I am now working on cleaning supplies and laundry stuff because that's where we are lacking. Now I have it organized it will be easier to rotate. I will post pictures when it is all done.

It's Official!

Well, it is now official, we are EMTY NESTERS. Yes it is kinda sad, but Brock and Carries house is so cute. We spent the day helping them clean and move, now I can't move my body! I am happy they got such a cute house. They will be over for dinner tomorrow cuz they have no food! They took Lucky (Carrie's cat) and Yes I will admit it I will miss him, too.

Good luck Carrie & Brock----Hello Kris!!

New Hobby

Well I just found a new hobby, Kris doesn't know yet, he has been on Limo runs today. I went to Cathy Stevens bead store and got hooked!!! Just for info she is going to teach a watch bead class, (my daughters are really into them and they are CUTE) at our Stake Relief Society Super Saturday in November, that will be allot of fun and she is going to get us a great deal on them! I can't wait. I am not really a big jewelry person, at least I wasn't but now I want some to match every outfit!! It is fun! The picture doesn't do it justice either.

Labor Day Week-end

We spent five days of the Labor Day week-end at the Ft Bridger Mt man Rendezvous. We had a great time, even when it snowed on us!! It made me appreciate all the modern things we enjoy. At the same time it made me appreciate our ancestors and all the sacrificed for us. Kris found a fellow black powder gun lover and I found some good old fashioned Root Beer and Cream Soda in really cool bottles, I bought it really for the bottles. We stayed at a RV park in Evanston Wyoming. On Monday we went to the Cowboy Days Parade, allot of horses and candy, my grandsons loved it. It was allot of fun but I am glad to be home. We also took a ride up to Mirror Lake, that is so beautiful! We are blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the country. Here are pictures of our trip.

Stress attack!!!

I know I haven't posted since Carrie and Brock's wedding, I have not been feeling well. I went to the doctor, twice, and finally yesterday he gave me a shot in the head! I have had and inflamed nerve in my head and was unable to get up for any length of time so all I could do is lay on my right side because that was the least painful. The first doc I went to told me I had something and everyone I talked to said no that can't be it, so I went to another doc for a second opinion, he asked if I had been under any stress lately and I said well I was called as the Relief society
President a few months ago and my daughter just got married last week, and he laughed and said you just self diagnosed yourself! I just want you to know what really cured me (besides the steroid shot) My wonderful wonderful family. Kris's birthday was Tuesday and Liz brought over dinner that night. Carrie and Brock bought Pizza the next night and Jen made some wonderful homemade chicken noodle soup for me and also some lemon balm, fresh from her herb garden, for herb tea. It is so great to have wonderful family support in time of need. Being Relief Society President I can see a difference in those that have a strong family support system and those that don't. The best thing was the cards my six wonderful grand kids made me. Kris took wonderful care of me too. He has waited on me hand and foot. I owe him a big birthday bash! He even bought his own birthday cake! Pictures are the cards in no particular order.

I love 'em!!!!! Thank you everyone!!!

After the Wedding

We made it through the wedding and it was absolutely wonderful! Everything went like clockwork. Carrie was a little stressed in the morning.....and I was a little camera hungry!! She will kill me for posting this picture!

Carrie and Brock were married at 10:00am in the Logan Temple.

This picture is before the ceremony...

The day was perfect for pictures

overcast and just the perfect temperature.

The newlyweds!

Our beautiful and handsome grand kids!

Are they not the cutest things in the world!!!

Kris and Brock Goofing around, they really did not wear the top hats.

It was a great day. If you want to see a few more pic's go to "Liz" on my favorite blogs. That is our daughter and she was the photographer and she did an awesome job.

This is Brock and his twin brother, Brandon.

Wedding Day Tomorrow

Well it is finally here Carrie's wedding is tomorrow!!! We have it all under control (I hope). I hope that it all goes smooth. She seems calm. It will be a long ride to the Logan Temple for her though even though it isn't that far. My granddaughters dresses are done and my grandsons tuxedos fit good. They are going to be cute! Carrie's sister is coming at 6:00am to do her hair. The reality of my baby getting married is sinking in, but I am not losing a daughter, I am gaining another wonderful son-in-law. I have the BEST sons-in-law in the world. I have the worlds most amazing and talented daughters. I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives and the choice and chance we are given to have eternal life with Him, and the opportunity we have to be families for all eternity. FAMILIES ARE FOREVER! I love you, my family!

FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER

I have a family here on earth

they are so good to me

I want to share my life with them

through all eternity

Families can be together forever

through Heavenly Fathers plan

I always want to be with my own family

And the Lord has shown me how I can

The Lord has shown me how I can.

While I am in my early years

I"ll prepare most carefully

So I can marry in God's Temple

for Eternity

Families can be together forever

through Heavenly Fathers plan

I always want to be with my own family

and the Lord has shown me how I can

the Lord has shown me how I can.
