Hello Family,
It's been forever since I've posted. It was SO fun to be in Florida and than in Utah for visits. I'm so proud of all of you for the things you're doing. I'm trying to do Lara and Tyler's 100% challenge, I've messed up a few times, but I'm doing my best. I hope you all enjoyed conference as mush as I did. One of my favorite talks is Elder Hollonds on the Book Of Mormon, what a sweet testimony. I had a really neat experience while I was in Utah. My good friend Pam's mother (Jackie Lawrende) passed away and I was able to attend her funeral and President Monson was there to conduct and speak. What wonderful words and testimony he shared that day. I love you all so much and want you to know that I have a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I know that we can be a forever family. We are so fortunate to be blessed with that knowledge. As Morgan has said "Hold on Tight" (the iron rod). If we will always listen to our Prophet and follow his council, we'll be ok.
"Hi five "to Seth on his tests this week!!!!! Wish I was there to treat you to an ice-cream cone at IKEA, there're pretty good. Way to go Savea for getting "greens" at school. I had so much fun reading books to you and playing at the beach. I loved eating lunch with you at school. Andrea, I don't know how you manage to keep up with all the sisters in your ward.....I do love your ward though. I think of you every time I pass a Barns and Noble. Have you made anymore fondue cakes latley? I'm sure Seth is not ready for another one. It took us all day....but I sure had fun. It's also good excerise for the arms, we did get a good workout (Ha Ha).
Blake is getting ready for the deer hunt this weekend, be careful.....have fun!!! It's been fun to here about the new gun and scope. Blake's dad was just made Bishop of the new Temple View single adult ward, He along with Bev will do a great job. Michelle is teaching a parenting class in "Relief Society" meeting tomorrow night. I'm sure they'll ask her to do a follow up class, what an awesome teacher she is. Michelle has been busy docorating her house for fall and Halloween. Morgan is starting to write sentences and has a loose tooth. I think she's going to be an artist. She and Grandpa love to eat shrimp together...... Clayton ALMOST has the potty thing down. It's been fun to see him wear Savea's chonoes. I seem to always be wiping up little messes at the table, that's a boy! I love that little guy, he makes me smile.
Way to go Tyler on a good interview at Creighton !! How fun to have your Dad along to show you all the sights. I'm sure it was a little chilly there. We're still bragging to people about your "hole in one". Lara, just a few more months left of school. We're excited that you are enjoying this experience. Please be safe and don't get the swine flu....from your patients. Maybe the vacanation would be a good idea. Thanks for all your help at Grandma's house, what a long day, your a good worker. Mikel's piggy bank amout came to $119.00, almost all pennies. Dad and I rolled pennies to take to the bank for two nights. I'm proud of you for all the new recipes you are trying. How are your Chocolate Chip Cookies? You said that you have been in a slump. I'm sure there're yummy....
It's time again to start thinking about our Gingerbread House ideas, Dad and I need to step it up and be more creative. Can't wait for the holidays.
Love you all
