The things I do.............


Today I sewed a blouse, just a simple one but I had the material and everything and it went together really well. I love it when things turn out like that. I was just looking at all the blogs and it's so fun to see what others are up to ... so now you know what I've been doing.
Hey, what about the finale of Biggest Loser! That was so fun to watch. I love that change in people and how great they look and feel. Gary and Sarah and Trevor and Kim came over to watch it with us. We had some good Fat free treats. I enjoyed the whole season thanks to DVR, how did we live without it? :) Now I'll get back to the book I'm reading, "The Undaunted". Could I have been a pioneer? Hummmm.

7 Mothers day calls

Yesterday was Mothers day, in the past I've felt a little depressed on Mothers day. Maybe feeling a little inadequate, I'd be-rate myself that I could be doing more as a Mom. Now though ~ I don't think about Mothers Day like that I look at my children and just joy in the fact that they are happy fun people who live, love and laugh together.
We just had Trevor's wedding and it was all so great! It was wonderful to be in the temple with my family. Trevor and Kim are happy. It's fun to see them laugh together about the silliest things, they are having a good time together. And yes we got a call from our Missionary Gavin who is in Peru. He is doing so well! His Spanish sounded like he really knew what he was talking about. He sang for us in Spanish. (I love that) I thrill in my heart when I think of him as a Missionary! This was my 7th call from a missionary on Mothers Day. The best gift ever. I also got calls from Chauncy and Valerie, had dinner with the rest of our kids and the day was great. (I didn't have to cook or clean up) I'll post pictures of the wedding as soon as I get some.... Thank you my family. I love you all!
