Hanging in There

I just want to say thanks to all of your comments and prayers for my dad. He is doing great and will be home this evening. My brother was able to get them a better fight home. No layovers! So they will be more comfortable. My sister Steph is picking up my parent's from the airport and is going to stay with them for a couple of day's until my mom can get back on her feet to take care of my dad. I am hoping to see my dad tomorrow. Thanks again for all of your support. My cute friend Amy even called me from St. George to see if she could help me with anything. I am so thankful for all of my wonderful friends and family who are always there for me :)

Say a Prayer

This morning I woke up to the phone ringing. My mom had called to tell me my dad had a heart attack. They are in San Antonio for my brothers graduation training for the military. I hate that they are so far away. My siblings and I will be on the next flight if anything else goes wrong. As of right now they have put in four stints and he seems to be doing good. I am sitting here wondering what I possible can do. At this time all we can do is pray that everything will be okay. So if you have a chance please put my father in your prayers.

Tarrin's Baptism

On Saturday Tarrin was baptized and became the newest member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a beautiful day and he had so many family and friends there to support him on his special day. Our Primary chorister Camille Machen played the piano for us and did such a wonderful job. Marlo Brown sang a beautiful song about the Savior. She has a beautiful voice. My mother gave a talk on Baptism and Kevin's mom gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. They both did great and I know Tarrin appreciated hearing from them. My dad and Kevin's dad gave prayers and The bishop gave some remarks. Tarrin's legs didn't want to stay under so Kevin had to dunk him a second time. The confirmation was so neat and I am so thankful for my husband and that he honors his priesthood. I am thankful that Tarrin has such a great dad that he can look up to and that sets such a good example for him. Tarrin is such a blessing in our family. I am so proud of him for his decision to be baptized. It was such a special day and I hope that Tarrin will always remember it and keep it close to his heart. I am so grateful to all of our family and friends who came to support Tarrin.

SUPER SATURDAY

Yeah for super Saturday! We made magnet boards. They are like a 12x12 scrapbook page but it's a magnet board. And you make these cute little magnets to hold up your papers. I made one for Maisey's room and the rest for presents. They were fun to make. They also did cute little scrapbooks and wooden boards with vinyl lettering. I couldn't stay long since I had Maisey and Trey so I finished up at home.

PRIMARY PROGRAM

Today was the Primary Program at our church. Since Kevin and I are primary teachers we had to sit up on the stand with our class. They did such a good job! Wyatt had his part memorized and I was so proud of him. He didn't need any help and he had a pretty hard part. Kevin's parent's came down to watch the program and managed to see two of there other grand kids primary programs all in the same day. I felt bad because Maisey wasn't having a very good day and Kevin's mom spent the whole program out in the hall. Tarrin sang a baptism song with the other kids that are getting baptised this year. He did a really good job. It was such a sweet program and I am always amazed at how talented their chorister is. Camille you know I'm talking about you. She is such a crack up and always puts a smile on mine and the other teachers faces during sharing time. I have never seen anybody so good with kids. I love our primary class and I'm so grateful for primary.

The Corpse Bride

My sister Jennifer got married on Halloween in her church in Hyrum. It was a nice,small wedding. It was a little difficult taking the pictures for the wedding and making sure my four kids behaved themselves but my family really helped out. I am happy that she has found someone to share her life with. I tease about the title but if your going to get married on Halloween you better know you'll have to take some flack for it. For trick or treating my sister Amanda and her family came down to go with us. My neighborhood is so much fun for trick or treating. Everybody knows everybody and it makes it so nice to be able to stop and chat. How about the weather! It was beautiful, and made it seem like it was a nice little stroll around the neighborhood expect for the kids laughing and screaming running to the next house. After the little ones got tired, Kevin stayed home and put them in bed while Tarrin and I went out again. Not that he needed any more candy. I ended up picking up our friends Hans and Heidi and their kids for some more trick or treating. We had the ranger to ride around on and the kids thought that was fun. It was such a fun night.
