Boy has it been a eventful month and 3 days. Today is my mother's birthday and Alyssa's too. We had a nice dinner last night with cake and stuff for them both. I am trying to adjust with Mel and Noah leaving. It was brutal for me and everyone. I have a testimony of how much the Lord loves each one of us. This has been a move that the Lord has opened up the way in every way. I am so happy for them to be in a home with a back yard fence and 3 bedrooms so cool for them all. Noah starts school in a few days we pray for him to work hard and do all he can to help Mel.
How I miss our little boys, i still cry very easily and when i find a toy or a piece of clothing or look out our back window and see all the toys my heart is sad. My heart is sad because i miss them so very much but am happy for them and the chance to move forward.

last night Heather's father in law Glenn Goodman passed away, it was so fast. He had ALS and thought he would be with us at least for a year or two. So hard for us to loose the people we love, I am so thankful for the truth of knowing where we came from and where we go after we leave this life. Well on to a new year, we never know what it will bring but we can hope and pray that it will be a good year. Even still we continue to work on being prepared for hard times, I see it comming, our country has lead us right down that road. But if we do all we can and serve others and love the Lord and live as he would we will be ok. I pray for a wonderful new year.

Catching up!.!.

So it is almost Christmas and this will truly be one of the most different Christmases. Melissa and Noah will be leaving to live in Rexburg Idaho soon and that will make 2 children living far away and 4 grand children
living far away. I am so happy for them though because Noah can go forward to his educatonal goals and find a good job. I will miss them so so very much that I can't even think about it.
My sister Joyce passed away Sunday which is hard but I am so happy for her to be able to be free of her illness. Mental illness is a hard thing to live with for so long. To make it worse she lived so far away it was diffacult to
be there very much. We were able to visit her 2 months ago and she was not good then, but she was able to see mom again and my sister and I, I knew then she wasn't going to be with us very long.
We will miss her and pray for her adjustment to a new wonderful place with our dad and many other relatives.
Our visit to Omaha was very nice and mom went with us and she did amazingly well. Our Emelia is beautiful. We just loved her and held her and enjoyed every min. Sara and Brian took such good care of us we thank them so much and love them.

The end of a long week

So this week has been a long week but a good one. The girls and Mel and Noah found an appartment in Sac. So things will be changing. That is one thing that is certain and that is change!! Brian took his test for the leagal part of the pharmacy test today he said he would rather take the first test twice rather than take this next on. He called and said he passed
the first one he said "I Aced it" the results came in the mail. Congradulations!!

Boy Oh Boy!!

How do I express my feelings today, SO MUCH has gone on this past week. First I just want to give my testimony of How much our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ loves us and we see that everyday in our family. This past week Brian took his pharmacy test to get his license,
and so many prayers from all of our friends and family went out for his sucess and to be calm as he took the test. He is pleased to say that he felt he did well in his words "didn't ace it but did well" Oh how prayers work. Brian we are so proud of you!! You da man!

Within the past two weeks we have had aunt Drue here with us to visit with her sister, well I will say how fun it is to have two sister together. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful mother and be able to have aunt Drue here also she is a sweetheart.

Thursday night we were treated by Dr Art with his office to the Rivercats game in Sac. He went all out to take good care of all of us going back and forth to buy us all anything we wanted to eat.
It was such a cool beautiful night to be outside. As I have said before Ken & I were disapointed that the Boston Celtics lost the champoinship game. So tired of the lakers always winning.

Father's day is tomarrow I feel awful that I can't get anything for my sweet hard working husband. What an amazing man he is. All these years he has worked so hard so that I could be home taking care of our kids teaching them all of the values he and I felt were so very important. Then always allowed me to take in anyone who needed a place. Anywhere he goes to work he can pick up and make his work a better place and learn so fast. But the most important thing is that he is an amazing Priesthood holder and honors his Priesthood in all he does. He Loves the Lord and would do anything for others. Happy Fathers day Ken. I love you so much. You are doing an awsome job here on earth.

New things

Boy it has been a hard week, realizing we have to move for real. I have been just hoping it was just a bad dream :>( I know I can go where ever the Lord leads me but we have worked so very hard here and I love this place. All the fruit trees are so full of fruit this year more than ever at least since we have been here.

We have moved so many times so why is this even harder? Because life is so much more different than ever so unsure, and for sure all of our family is now going to be in different places.
I know, I know that is the way it is but I don't have to like it. Where do we go and what do we do now??? if we were 30 it wouldn't seem so hard. Ken and I pray everyday for Travis & Janeann to understand just exactly what they are doing and what they have done to 4 of the most important people in their lives, people who have taken care of him loved him through so many hard things and still love him.

Anyway I am so thankful for the Lord and his peace that lets me know he loves me and is there for me when things get tough. I am so thankful for just having a job for Ken so we have food, and to have such amazing children who daily make me so proud to have been able to be their mom.

He did it !!!!!

Well such a wonderful time in Omaha! We just finished Brian's hooding ceremony we all are so proud of him! He had accomplished something amazing. We love you Brian! We are so thankful we could be here.

A afternoon with the grandkids!!!

What a nice day being able to be with grandkids!! They are so cute. So we go into the 7-11 to buy a slurpie and we get to the check out and the nice east Indian man and I are talking and Alyssa so sweet but (has no volumn on her voice says) grandma do you speak spanish and I say no as I am paying for it, she says well then how do you understand that man? I said because he speaks english, and she says no because I don't understand him. Yea, it was intresting. She really didn't understand him and I will admit he did have a pretty heavy accent. Gotta love the pure honesty that comes from children. Had a nice afternoon with all of them. I love them so much.
