2 weeks and Thankfulness!!!

I can't believe it has been 2 weeks since I last posted. Holy smokes!! Where does the time go??
It has been an eventful 2 weeks, of that I am sure. The problem is having the memory capability to remember all that happened, and since that is a MAJOR problem, I guess there won't be much to tell!! ;-)

The one thing I can remember is our quick trip to Utah for Kris's Eagle Court of Honor. It was so fun to be with my family and to support Kris in his important day. We also got a bonus of watching Kris & Kory and the choirs they are in, do a performance. It was simply amazing. It was all Disney songs, and with the costumes and everything it turned out fabulous!!

It was a long trip home in one day, on the way back, but so worth being there.
I am grateful for a family who supports one another in all we do.
Some of my family are struggling right now, and I hope they know we are all here for them!! We pray for them and support them in all they do!
WE LOVE YOU!!!

I am grateful to my Heavenly Father who listens to prayers and answers them. I am grateful to loving earthly parents who do all they can, for each of their children.
I am grateful to my brother & sisters for their examples of love and charity.
I am grateful for my husband and children, for their love and support.
I am thankful to each of my friends, thanks for being there when I need you, and for your love and examples you are to those around you.
Thank you everyone!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Weekends go by too fast!!

Don't you agree?? You just get started into your weekend, and turn around and its gone!! That is how this past weekend was. Jeff & I went to a Love & Logic parenting class Friday night and all day Sat. Finished at 4pm on Sat, went to go get Lani and ended up walking through the home show, and then got Lani at 6:25 and then Jolyn from her friends house.
By the time we got home and had dinner and the girls showered and we read scriptures, etc.... It was late, and time for bed. Then onto sunday, busy day as usual. We don't go to church till 1pm and get out at 4pm. I don't like that schedule. I would rather be on the 11-2 , or 9-12 thank heavens we get to switch every year. :-)

This weekend will be another busy one, so much for resting on the weekends!! lol :-)

Not too much else to report, just being busy with life. Having a bunch of car repairs going on right now, had to have the rear brakes done, and an oil change and now a 02 sensor, which I guess regulates the air flow in your fuel. Very important!! And they say we have a broken motor mount. YIKES!! Just when we are almost out of debt, one more payment and we would have had the credit card paid off. Life is not fair sometimes!! :-(

Oh well, as long as our van keeps on moving, we are happy!! :-)
Jolyn is wrapping up her last few games of basketball, she & I will be happy when that is finished.
Jalani is on a waiting list to get into gymnastics. She can't wait. Grandma Walle sent her money for her bday for ice skating lessons, but she decided she would rather go with gymnastics.

Jeff will be half way through his Masters Program in March at the end of this quarter. We are excited about that.
I have been doing some sub jobs but not too many.
We just keep plugging along. That is it for now!1 TTFN

Activity Days




Here I am today working on preparing for my activity day girls tomorrow. We are making valentines and decorating cupcakes. I have had to move to the church and Wednesdays for the month of February, as Jolyn as basketball on our normal days/times.
I am loving working with these girls. I only have 3, including Jalani.

We will get two more this year. One in April and one in May. I am excited about that. I am cutting out hearts today so they can use them to make their valentines tomorrow.

Not much else to report. Life is going fine, for the moment. Jeff will be half way through his Masters Program, the first part of March. Hard to believe!! :-) So grateful he is able to do this, and pursue his dreams. We keep on supporting him the best we can, and I hope it is enough.

This weekend Jeff & I will be attending a Love & Logic class, it is on Friday night and most of the day on Sat. Should be fun!! We tried to go to it twice last year, and things kept getting in the way. Hope it works out this time!! ;-)
