Things that I am Thankful for!

I have no pictures of Thanksgiving! We had 2 different Thanksgivings and still ...No Pictures..
Had my camera each and every time.. Yet...NO PICTURES!!

I realized that today was the last day of November and I had yet to write about all that I am thankful for..

1-My Family!!! (that includes In Laws)
2-Our Friends (You Know who you are!! Ü)
3-Great Neighbors
4- Great Ward!!
5- My Health (what little is left!! Ü)
6-MAX (our Dog)
7-WORK!!!!!
8- Our Wonderful Home!
9- Kolob
10-Probably this one is First...The Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints.
I know that everything on my list comes From God!!!
I am so ever grateful for the atonement and that it is for us all!!
I am also very Grateful for the Plan Of Happiness that has us live again
as Eternal Families..
With My Mother so close to Death, To know that I will see her again, makes this
just a extended vacation.. not a Loss...She will be Misses!!!! Don't get me wrong!
No one could ever have a better Mother than the 3 of us have had!!!
We were blessed with Great Parents.. and a Great Life!!!
I have been saddened that all my children have not had the opportunity
of knowing them.. (In their prime) (with their minds clear)
But with Faith, we know that those opportunities are yet to come on the other side..!

I want to Thank all those who have been so Great to me and my Family during this
whole "MOM" thing!! It is about the Hardest thing I have ever done!!!
I just Pray that she will , when it is her time, pass quietly and peacefully..
She has been nothing but kind to all she has ever known!
She is still smiling when we see her.

Eagle Project Fire Pit Finally Used!! Ü

Last night The American Legion, for Veterans Day ,
Used the"Eagle Project Fire Pit "!
They asked the 14 year old to come and Bring some of the
Boys that had helped him accomplish this..
(Our Stake had a Veterans day thing so only 1 boy from his troop showed up..)
His Cousins, who also helped with the fire pit, came also..
The Little Guy wore his Cub Scout uniform and they all wore white gloves .
IT was quite a scene! I have no idea what I thought would happen when they burned the flags,,, But they really put up a flame!!!

Some flags were Huge..
Most were the regular size..
They had 30 Flags to Honorably
Burn..
The flames , as they would lay the flags down, would go out towards the boys and their hands!
They could not see it but the crowd sure could!
I have to admit to yelling out for them to drop it at least twice!!
I embarrassed Our youngest Daughter with my outbursts! Ü
But they could have been burned very bad if the flames had reached their
hands.. The gloves were polyester!! Yikes!!!

It was a very interesting event!

My Sister and My In Laws were there
also...
After, the fed us Chili and Corn Bread.
They also had a little thing for the POW /MIA's & the Dead..
It was quite the Night!!!

T.S. You did a Great Job!!!!

Fishing with Gpa & Dad NOV 09

the Little Guy is a fisherman!!!
He Caught both fish!! Ü

It was so nice to sit by the fire and read or just look
out the window! We had a Great Time!

This is close up time for the cabin..
It is now sealed and put away for the Winter!

Halloween 2009

This is the Little guy and his Friend!
I took their picture before they went off on their adventure of Trick or Treating.
His Friend has a mask that is really great, but for some reason he chose to not wear it..?????
The bottom pictures with the widows peak on the Little guy was for Friday at school...
He was in too big of a hurry tonight for that!!! Candy was a calling!!! Ü

Winning Game!

We traveled to see our Grandson play football!
Their team Won!!!
It was Great to visit with our Daughter and see the Game!!
We Just don't see them like we would like!!!
We are hoping to somehow change that!!!
It was a Great Game!!!

Great Visit With MOM

As you can see... We had a Great visit with Mom today!
And the date is wrong.. My camera is
a problem child!!!
the date is Oct. 27th 2009
These pictures made us laugh!
We tried to take them with no help..
but had to finally get a helper..
We both needed the laughter!!!
Usually it is tears!
She was in such a unusual mood today..Cheerful and wanting us to hold her hands..
She still makes no sense when she talks.. but her cheerful welcome and
her reply to I love you was "I love you kids too!" So it was worth every minuet!!
When the helper took the picture.. she told Mom to smile and she did the funniest smile ever.. That made us laugh even more!!! Ü
It is always more fun to visit with my
Wonderful Sister!!!
I have the Cutest MOM ever!!!
What a Great VISIT!!! Ü
What a Great Day!!!

Just a short note

For those who know my Dear Mom,
She has fallen again and has a black eye!
She is as of last Tuesday, 86 LBS. and counting down.
They are measuring her arm as a way to really
tell her well being and it measured 6 and 3/4 inches!! YIKES!!
Of course, I had gone every day but the one when she fell!!
She still smiles at me most visits!
My Sister has been very sick and so of course, I drop the ball
on Thursday!!!
They are going to put a pain patch on her due to pain, but
the side effects are quite scary! She will probably become bed ridden!
I don't plan to take a picture of her eye! So no pictures today..
I believe that I will be seeing her Tomorrow with my Daughter & Son Inlaw.
at least that is the plan...
As you can tell, I am very preoccupied with the Health of my MOM!!!
So when you see me next and notice that I am HUGE!! Ü Just know that I am
not handling this very well!!! I am sure that if I were more mature, It would not
get to me. But as usual.. I am not mature!! Ü so just bear or Bare with me!! HA HA
