Let's sing, America! (starring Zachary Childs)

Zak called Jack and I and we got to attent his Elementary School's 5th grade (can anyone believe Zak with be in the 6th grade in a few months?) program. I was so fun! There is nothing better than patriotic music to my ears. Add that with children singing patriotic songs and the tears flow like a gentle stream. What a cutie Zak is. I got the front row seats. Usually I get to performances, church activities, meetings etc. early to get a good seat, then almost inevitably, I am asked to move a few times, by the time the program starts I can't see the kids. There was nobody to ask me to move this time; Yea! Got some good shots. Thanks Zak for calling us, please keep letting us know, we love to come to our grandchildren's performances.

Jace & Hamilton's Baptisms

Both Jace and Hamilton had a beautiful Baptism Day. We missed all of you we love who wanted to be there. The testimonies of our Grandchildren heard will stay with us always. Baptism is such a beautiful ordinance to witness. I have a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When I hear the words spoken by Preistood Authority for the Baptism and Confirmation I get chills, literally. What a beautiful thing it is. I know Heavenly Father loves us and wants us all to return to live with Him. We will strive to be worthy of our Eternal Family.

My Eternal Companion

When I see Jack in the Temple, my heart skips a beat and I know he is my one true love, my eternal companion forever. What a blessing he is. I love him more today than ever. Thank you my best, dearest and truest friend and love for all you do for me. I adore you.

A Quote to wrap your thoughts around

Change is the only process in life we can absolutely count on. Change is as essential as the air we breathe. In the autumn, do the trees refuse to let their dying leaves go? They release their old life so that new life can begin. To thrive, we must embrace the future rather than the past~ by Sue Frederick

Our Ninth Year Wedding Anniversary!

Jack and I have had nine blissful years of marriage together. We love each other more with each passing day. We thank Heavenly Father for answering our prayers and leading us together. We know our love grows because it is centered around Jesus Christ. Our family is such a precious gift to us. We arode our children and grandchildren more with each passing day also. We are so thankful for the blessings of the temple, that our love can grow throughout Eternity.

Thinking of my dreamboat

Thinking of my dreamboat....and his name is Jack. Yesterday he wore a new suit to Church, looked extremely handsome if I may say so myself. Bro. Hunsaker came up to me and said "Did you help Jack get dressed this morning"? Other compliments were sent my way of how handsome he looked in his new suit, I will confess I took him shopping (and picked up the jacket for him) but it was just his style. Jack said to me later..."Why is it when I get a compliment on my looks you get the credit? How funny. We both got a good laugh out of that. Forgot the picture sorry. Will get one next week in his new suit. I sure love that guy!

A Night of Fun!

We had a fun night with Heidi and Don's kids the other night. We started out learning Hannah Montana's Ho-down, Throw-Down dance, then we had a German Culture Tea Party with strawberry cake. Jack spoke German to the kids and help them learn some German words, he told them a little about Germany and they laughed and laughed trying to pronounce the German words. They were speaking German to me much after the tea party. Then Grandpa took the boys to finish up their leather coin purses they stamped (with a little help from Grandpa). The boys loved their creations. The girls and I played many, many games of slamwich. Then we read from the New Testament and taught the children the Savior's admonition; as you do unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me. That was an enlightening and spiritual end of a Sunday evening. We miss Adia, Orin and Hamilton, we have so much fun playing games with them and wished they were with us. We love you all so very, very much.
