FHE

We did our FHE Monday on the Armor of God. So as part of the lesson Grant got dressed up in his "armor" He had a lot of fun doing it. I hope it will help him remember the lesson a little better.

Coincidence.... I think not!

You know when you have watched too many kids movies when you start to quote them more than anything else. (FYI think Incredibles)

Anyway to a subject that is totally different. Today we had our Stake Conference and yesterday we had our adult meeting. So what so special about that you say? Well our stake presidency was released and a new presidency was sustained, therefore 2 general authorities came to preside over the meeting. Elder Marlin K. Jensen of the First Presidency of the Seventy and Elder Ronald J. Hammond our Area Seventy. The story is 10 1/2 years ago I was at a stake conference in Green River and Elder Hammond was presiding at that meeting. For some reason he was moved to ask me to come up and share my testimony with our stake. At our adult meeting last night I didn't recognize his name, but as soon as I saw him it hit me that he was that man. I talked with him for a short while after our stake meeting today just to make sure that I had the right guy and I was surprised that he even remembered. So, anyway it was a moment that was special to me and I'm amazed at how things come full circle; how things worked out, and the Lord worked with my life to give me the opportunity to talk to him again.

Brand Spankin' New

So here's a list of new things that have happened recently:

1. I got a new calling in church. I used to be the Primary Music Leader, but considering I had Logan and was out for about a month they needed to release me. So, I'm now the Ward Bulletin and Newsletter Coordinator. I'm so excited. I get to play around with clip art and I don't have to worry about keeping 40 little kids on task! I loved being in music and everything, but after 3 years of being in primary I was ready for something new. Any advice is very welcome!

2. We got a new Weber Grill FOR FREE!!!!!!! I guess I shouldn't say for free, but it practically is. Marc calls me from work one day and says I think we just got ourselves a barbecue. I asked why. He says a micro burst just picked up this grill off of the patio in front of the store and threw it into a Expedition in the parking lot. Marc says it takes about 30-40 minutes to assemble one of these and it was disassembled in less than 3 minutes, as you can see from the pictures. Marc just has to put it back together. The reason it isn't "free" is because the store had to pay for part of the grill insurance wouldn't pick up. Oh, and the Expedition was fine; not a scratch.

3. I finally finished my quilt for Logan. I started it over a month ago. It isn't that it was hard, it's just that I would get in the mode and sew, then get tired of sewing and quit for a week. I really like it. My next project: a really cute handbag pattern I found. I think I might make a bunch and sell them at the hardware store.

4.Grant has been really funny lately by making up these silly songs about stuff around the house. He loves our neighbor Don. For those of you who don't know we live out in the boonies, and Don has tractors, fourwheelers, and other large equipment (like a steamroller). Don will take Grant out for rides and Grant LOVES it! Anyway, I got a video of Grant singing his songs about Don on the road and dad playing with Pixie (our dog). It is pretty self explanitory.

5. I got a $2.75 raise at work! WHA HOO!

6. Little Logan is doing great! He stalled out on gaining weight so the doc told me to supplement his diet. I've only been supplementing for a few days now and he already feels heavier. He rolls everywhere and will jabber your ear off! I attached his toy mirror to his bouncy car and he'll sit and scream and talk to himself.

So that's about it. Hopefully I'll get back into blogging now that my mind isn't so scattered with everything going on.
