Our Weekend Recap...

Our Weekends are busy and crazy,
but we wouldn't have it any other way right now...
It's OUR crazy busy Fun !!!

Peggy and p.j.'s

Kurt's mom is so supportive...
She has always been there to support the kids' big milestones in their lives.
She lives in Virginia, (so it's a hop, skip, jump, and a little sacrifice...)

*She was in the hospital with me when Candice was born...
*When Caitlyn was born too...
*She flew in to come to Landon's funeral, and stayed with me after that for awhile...
*Candice's baptism...
*When Caitlyn got baptized...
*She came for Spencer's baptism...
*She was here for Lynzie's blessing...
And not to mention all the other times in between she has been here to visit us!
(girls camp, graduation, and even a trip for me to Utah!)
And so at last she is here to watch my last child be baptized and become a member of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
She is here to fulfill a perfect record!

It's fun to have her...
We always do fun things, but one thing I really look forward to doing is;

We buy matching p.j.'s and watch chick flicks!

Thumbs up to you grandma, for being such a good grandma !!!
And so with gratitude I say "Thank-you" for supporting
me, Kurt, and the kids!

Kurt just got back from a business trip from South Dakota...
This was a Pheasant Hunting business trip---
are you kidding, I didn't know there was such a thing !
It was all new to Kurt but he really had fun, he enjoyed the guys he went with and they really spared no expense. They had hunting guides and hunting dogs and ohh the stories Kurt has been telling me...All in all it's just good to have him home, I don't do so good at the single parent thing...but I'm glad he got to go to get out of town and do something different besides sit behind a desk!
New experiences are always fun no matter what experiences they are!

Yesterday I turned on the T.V. (which I rarely do) infact, I always hear my friends talking about there favorite shows and I think to myself....
"SELF".... watch more T.V. so your cool like all your friends,,, I feel so out of the loop sometimes"!!!
Anyway, I turned on the T.V. and lo and behold there was something on there that I never thought I'd see !
A situation about relationships, how a girls' parents could understand there daughters chosen lifestyle a little better BUT it was taken to such an extreme !!! So of course I flipped the channel and then not a few minutes later a comercial came on about a new movie that is just out in theaters.....and boy let me tell you, I'll be taking my family for that one tomorrow night for FHE!!!!!!!!!
Things were bad before but now "they" have taken them to a new level.(whoever "they" are)
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse......

I am grateful for a church that emphazies the importants of FAMILIES and gives guidance on how to best lead, grow, strenghten and love them !!!

I wasn't going to post a picture...but now I am because I love mine !
and because I am proud of them, it's amazing how tight my kids have to hold onto the 'iron rod' (1 Nephi 8) and the things they see when others let go and are lost in the fog, and when others who don't understand kind-of want to point and laugh......
hmmm didn't I read a story about that one time?
Anyway...here's to good times.
