The Prophet of my day....
How sad, a man i have only put butter in a dish for, poured water for and prayed for has joined his wife. i can only look at it that way. i sometimes wonder if he had a count down. ya know good day the number was like 1,000; and then on hard days he was like 1 more day then i am coming to see you! think so. he loved his wife. we love him. i think it was his enthusiasum, wit, and charm that made me see the gospel in a different way, a better way. i hope i can thank him sometime. he was such a pwerful man for being so little. i remeber one time we had tickets to conference, and the spirit was there, but when he walked in, it was so strong. it was almost like you could see it. absolutely amazing. i knew that he wanted the best for me and that he would pray for me, not by name, but he did. i really hope i can thank him. but i don't think i could get the words out, maybe just a hug.....
i am so greatful that we know who is next and we know his testimony. that we dont have to wait for weeks or months to see what stranger has been called to lead me. i am so greatful that he is willing and wise. and i cant wait to see what he brings to the church. i love the Gospel.

photo site
my goal- is that a week from today- to get my my photosite set up.
the only problem is that i dont know which to use....
hmmm- any ideas?
i have so many pictures that need to be seen, like my house i want to brag about that! and then my kids naturally, who wouldn't want to look at them often?
anyway- hmmm, maybe i will pick by this time next week and then i will work on it while joey is in preu and chili. that might be good. i need something to occupy my time. i hate when he's gone.
back to the topic, a good photo site display place.
i have troubles with the blog because it doesn't hold enough and my pictures are too big and i am kinda computer illiterate and the less amount of steps the better.

Waffles and Pickle Juice
so on suday morning we had waffles for breakfast. and all during we the meal we kept asking her what she wanted to drink: milk or water. and she would say no... and so we finally rather exasperated we ask her what she wants and she says "ornj ju" and i say: "sorry sweetie we are all out, you can have milk or water" and she says: "no, ornj ju". and i open the fridge to show her that we had no orange juice, we only had milk or water. and as she is looking in the fridge and as she looks in he little eyes light up and she says... "pick ju!" and i look at her, and i say "pickle Juice?!?!" and she says "yeah!" and i try to convince her that we don't drink pickle juice, she then begins to get upset, so joseph being a sensitive father gets her a glass of pickle juice.
yes- my daughter had pickle juice with her waffles.
and as she took her first sip, she said: "mmm, i like pick ju!"
and then i said in my head, yuck!

Nastalgia
Wow- another year has gone by? how did that happen? as i sit here and try to review my life i am shocked about what has been done, but if feels like not by me. weird. i almost feel like i sat by and watched and part of me know i was involved in much that did happen. weird feeling.
review- house, pretty much close to almost done :) whatever that means. we are so close on so many levels, but i think it will be a while before those are done. pictures will be coming soon, i just have to taken the pictures then load them and yada yada yada. but that is a major thing! what am i going to talk about now that we have kinda wrapped up on the house? well- i guess there is the yard. yuck
jerra: she talks. and talks and talks and talks. but that is a major thing! this time last year she really couldn't so wow. she is also very good at praying and obeying (when threatened with timeout). she is also a very good mom to all of us, even her dolls. she still screamed when she saw santa, but she went on a walk with Goofy. :) it was so cute.
claysen: he is running, and throwing, and talking. everything is green. and they all say moo. he is definitely a texas boy, he absolutely loves football. but then he loves basketball and golf and baseball and heck he even like badminton, as long as there is a ball, something to throw or hit, he is happy. and trucks and cars are great. but he loves to hug and give big squeezes and kisses and is soooo cute when he stands in timeout.
joseph: he is as amazing as ever. he built a house! how can you beat that? and he still is in the EQ presidency and is good at that. i am still in awe about what he can do.
me: lets see. i am in the YW and i hope i am still a good influence, i think i am. i hope i can teach them all that i wish i had known then, ya know? i hope they listen and believe. i obtained more patience. more house. more compassion, more patience, more understanding, more easy recipes, more pets, more furniture, and more thankfulness and gratitude and love for those around me.
i just had an epiphany- instead of reflecting on all the things that i didn't do, goals i didn't achieve, and things i left undone, i am going to look at all i learn and progresses at. i could even add made a new best friend! how great! and since i didn't get that Levi quilt finished, i can do that this year! and since i have accumulated so many easy recipes that means i will have more time to spend with my ever growing turbo powered devilish angels! and i have learned patience for when they eat the crayons instead of putting them away! and then when that blessed time of 1-4pm comes, i am more grateful for the house that i have to hurriedly clean so that my amazing husband can enjoy his work. that is what i can look forward to! sounds kinda crazy but now i am more energized and ready to face this year. i have such a good place to start from and amazing people to help me. wow- watch out 2008! here i come!
where did i go last year?
atlanta
utah
utah again
and then to disneyland- that is pretty good especially with 2 kids.
and this year i already have a probably kids free vacation planned already- in march. so i am already off- i have to admit joseph's trip is more exciting. he gets to go to peru and chile- not fair, i think that going to be a long 10 days for me. oh well, how awesome for him!
i think that i will work on optimism for myself, more personalized prayer, and definately better scripture study. i am so embarassed by my lack of study time. if i can read the twilight series 6 times i definately should be able to study the scriptures better. i want jerra and my relationship to flourish- i just want her to continue to flourish. i want to show claysen that it is best to obey, it is better for everyone involved. i think i want to implemnet the 'chore chart'. i dunno. i want to be more pro- active in teaching them. a letter a week. well crap i am behind- no its only monday. i think that is good for now- i will definately need to evaluate myself later, maybe once a month. we will see.
well, i will post pictures soon!
loves!
