Not yet

It snowed. Just like they said it would. A lot. More. Though. We now look like a winter wonderland. It's not winter though. There is still a month of actual fall left and still a holiday to celebrate before "the BIG one." You know Christmas, I don't want to mention it to much because everyone else already does. In fact lots of people already have their lights up and on their house and yard decorations out. Which is fine but I wish they wouldn't turn them on yet. No, not yet, because I'd like to enjoy fall a few more days and be thankful. Even if my crunchy leaves are covered up with a foot of snow, I want to be thankful this month. Not rushed and hurried to buy, buy, buy, though that isn't the reason for that holiday either. Oh, how I dislike commercialism and the super early marketing of all things Christmas related .While I am on the marketing thing though let me plug my brothers business. If you are in the area and want to hit the slopes visit his site- Utah Ski Express, and he can get you your ski or snowboarding stuff with out you having to visit a rental shop!

But the snow is so beautiful! I know it's easy for me to say because we rarely see it here.

Can I get an AMEN? Well... HALF an amen, actually. I've got my decorations set up, BUT I do HATE the commercialism that goes into the holidays. It's all about being selfish and making a buck. Like instead of spending quality time with people, people are ditching Thanksgiving early to go shopping. Blah blah.

Hey! I am glad for your shameless commercial plug right at the end there, AND for the snow, because we are planning on coming to Utah for skiing over Christmas. I'm going to email your brother now!

California here we come

By
July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

By
Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
