Sal was able to stay for lunch and Peg had Rob visiting for the Day and her family joined us. Steve was even able to finish the Lunch at the Sub Shop and joined us also. We had a very nice lunch. I was even able to show off the quilt I bought a new border for at Zoe's Quilt Store.

Grandma's 86th Birthday

Grandma celebrated her 86Th birthday this past week. We picked her up from church and it gave us a chance to take some pictures. She looks great, and is getting along pretty well. She gave away her car so she doesn't drive anymore and we are all glad about that. She still wants to go to her Ward so we are all helping her get home from church.

Cute Little White Dresses

We had Stake baptisms on Saturday. The girls were dressed in white suits ready for baptism. I went in the dressing room and these 4 dresses were hanging up ready for 4 little girls that had just been washed clean and pure. I thought this was the sweetest picture. I just happened to have my camera.

Male Nurse

This past week I had a test done at the Hospital and they had to give me an IV. Well the nurse (Male nurse) had a hard time finding a vein. I think he was new. You think? I didn't notice it until I was home and it didn't hurt but it makes a good picture.

Krazy Sub Quilt

One of our customers brought this quilt in to show us. She made this quilt of all her favorite places to eat. Krazy Sub made the quilt. Second row in the middle. She came in the Shop and bought a new t-shirt just to put it in the quilt. I just happened to have my camera.

Isn't it Great!

Chili Cook-Off

Saturday was our ward Chili Cook-off. The Theme was Hill-Billy.

These are some of the Rednecks that showed up at the party.

Brave James

On Aaron's Birthday James cut his leg pretty bad. They took him to Urgent Care and James needed 8-9 stitches. He was so brave.


Jarrett was a mess in the Urgent Care so Kim called me and this is what Jarrett got to do while James was getting stitches.

We met with Mom's Brothers and Sisters Sunday to plan the Christmas Enchilada Dinner

Grandpa has his Train out again. I don't know who has more fun. The Kids or Grandpa

Costume Day

Today I got together with Peg and some of her friends to help her with the Costumes for "Your a Good Man Charlie Brown" Peg is in charge of the costumes and she had a good group together sewing today More than half are almost finished. It was a fun day spent with the ladies.

Wonderful Stake Conference

This weekend we had a great Stake Conference. Elder Jeffery R. Holland was our visitor and we were all touched by the messages he gave on Saturday night and also Sunday morning. Saturday night we went one hour early and we were sitting about half way back. He did pass me in the hall and greeted and shook hands with the ladies that were waiting to get in the cultural hall.
Sunday we went to the Red Mt. Institute 2 hours early. Laura had saved us seats (Brent sang in the choir)and we set in the back of the chapel. We had great seats but we waited 2 hours and then a 2 hour meeting. Steve saw a better chair in the Hall and traded it for the hard one we were sitting on. He did trade with me while we sang the rest song, that was good.
Sunday Elder Holland talked to the youth and said he wanted them to give 10 years to the Lord and the 10 years he wanted were the 12-22 years or 14-24 years. He said if they would let their parents, their leaders, the church make their decisions for the next 10 years (because they are older and wiser) they would have the foundation they would need to be on their own.
Elder Holland left us with a blessing on our stake. He blessed everyone within the sound of his voice. It was a wonderful blessing and left us with a message to "Keep the Spirit of the Lord in our lives".
It was a great weekend and I am looking forward to General Conference in a few weeks.

Piano Lessons Start

Yes, Piano lesson have started again. I picked up two new students this year. (I only teach grandchildren) I have six this year. McKay, Rebecca, Nate, Jake, Mitchell and Loryn. We are starting a new thing this year. The parents have to sign the practice chart, so I don't have to be the "mean" Grandma. We are expecting great things this year. The Picture is painters tape on the living room floor and it is to practice the names of the notes.

I found this picture of Nate and Emily on the Arnett Family website> It was taken at the Tom And Annie reunion 2000. Cute Kids!
