Okay...so one day a few weeks ago.. I am behind for sure...My sister, That'd be Brandy... :) she brought mom and dad sonic on the "cheap" night.. I mean on the half price night... :) she was treating them for helping with the lawn mowing.
Nice huh...actually of both of them. anyway....




Looks like dad has a mouthfull...slow down this special runs every week...maybe Brandy will treat you again. :) See, Brie is fine... slow...small bites.....






Here are the two that are too cool to even know how to make a comment....what should I say.... well, how about I just say...this is Alex and Tristen.... ha... not funny enough huh....well,the Vick boys.... well... humm...mushroom king and lil Tom....hanging on a string...by his teeth! :) Still not funny...well you make it up and post it then! :)

OH look its NEA.... hummm she shows up everywhere doesn't she! ha...

Michelle went over and taught memaw some physical therapy that she can do to help her with her aging process. :)

I am not sure if memaw understands this exercise...she looks kinda blank......Brie is even a bit bewildered!

Michelle is demonstrating the fact that she is young and flexable...and if this is one of the moves , memaw could be in trouble! :)

Was Memaw laughing or crying... surely she's laughing.. I think over all she had a pretty good time down on the floor with Chelly Belly. :)

Kristy brought this sweet little fella to my house..she was cleaning for Teresa Cozad and Teresa talked her into taking this little package home. Sweet of her don't you think!! I guess that was a sure fire way to CLEAN house! :) It probably stayed clean once Kristy and Odey left! :)







He really was cute...but Teddy is enough dog for us...plus we have an outside kitty...so we quickly found him a new home...













I think dad would of kept him.... :) but we had told Kristy's friend Abbie, that she could have him so mom and dad just baby sat Odey just for the weekend till Abbie got back from a church trip. Mom was GLAD...she wasn't as thrilled...since she cleaned up after sweet lil Odey! :)

I took a picture of Kristy but it didn't turn out...go figure...but this was her Band Fundraiser day for the New York trip coming up in June. Her dad called his mother and sister and brother and they all pulled through for her and came up to test drive a Ford. She earned 20 dollars towards the trip for every car test drove for her! Grandma Eastin..and her friend, (also did a test drive) Walter, Marijane...and Robby...what are Aunt's and Uncles for! THANKS so much!

Now, my brother Kenneth was test driving and got to be on TV! Isn't he special! :) He was telling the camera man Gimer Band was #1! :) If the link works you can watch the clip they put on TV. If not...well you can feel the sparks just looking at this photo. :)

It's that time of year again.....GARDENING......


Hey Lorena....is this kinda what you'd like..... :)

I am sure I could talk Rob into traveling up that way and tilling you a good spot!

Lets see.... Kristy invited Aaron over to watch "Twilight" he had never seen it and so he was gonna endure it so he could say he has "seen" it. ha... I gave them Shwan's orange sherbet Push ups....they are so good.... I think Aaron looks interested in the show...humm...he didn't even look for the photo....see guys like it, they just don't like to admit it. :)

Oopppss...did this in reverse, I do believe you COOK popcorn before you pour it into the bowls.... ha...

This has become one of my new loves..... I bought a hot air popper so I could start eating healthier....It tastes like cardboard, but I can eat anything! But, one day I asked Rob about making some popcorn for the Primary kids for an activity and he did a pan on the stove.......and lets just say....he keeps improving it...and its gotten better and better.... :)
**I know its not healthy and I have to figure out how to get my hot-air popcorn to taste like his cooked-on -the stove popcorn. ;)

It is definitely something I think about every evening lately.... :) He shakes this huge pan for several minutes and then Wa-la..... mega POPCORN... :) We haven't been able to find the popcorn salt though...the orange kind you used to get in a package of popcorn kernels you buy....well, its not in there anymore. Just popcorn! Cheap-o's !

Robby has become the PRO bowler.... he has always been the best one though..... but here's the proof... :)

He does not like it when his chart takes a drop...and boy this day he just bowled it right on!

This is his score.... just wait till I get my back better..... Challenge time...hah.... yeah, right! ha...

Okay...so when Michelle and Ben cook things that I might like to try, they will call and usally Ben will say...."Have you eaten yet...are you hungry" :) Even if I already have.... I say..."I'd like to taste it" :)

So, they bring me a little bite so I can see how GOOD it is. :) This is brocoli they put together with...um...celery and ...humm...cant recall what seasonings...but it was good too. Kristy ate all the broc. and left me with mostly the celery...but I like Celery so I was okay. :) I don't know what creamy sauce was in it....humm..have to ask again.

She puts it in little ziplock baggies and brings it over for my little TASTE. :) these are actually called... Panes Rellenos! It is a sandwhich made with all these veggies and meat mixture that is cooked.... I will have to show you the Papusa's next time I get one. :) Ben's mom makes them and I wasn't blogging last time I got one. :)

Well, although you can't tell by this picture.... it was raining pretty good outside...ha... and Adam came over and started putting on a Yellow rain suit. :)

I wish I had gotten him walking around in the rain...he was totally protected.... from water proof hat, jacket, pants and boots.... Me and Kristy were on our way to YW.broadcast/Pizza hut to eat first....and so Adam walked Nea to the car with an umbrella, wish I had my camera with me outside. He looked so cute all snazy in his ETEX- Waterproof-ware! ha... If you work for Etex...you are set up in LOTS of ways...Great company to work for. :) I just noticed, I think I caught Alicia off guard wiping off her glasses.... she was helping suit up her honey too, I missed Posting that one.

Okay...so a few posts ago... I posted that spiritual FHE we had...and only had a picture of Kristy's elbow... I thought I had taken a picture of her and knew she was there.... Well....she let me know she had a picture too, she had just moved them into "her own folder" if i take pics. of her she snatches em! ha....So, she really is down next to Alicia....hard to see her..... lets take another view.....

Awww.....see THERE'S NEA! WHAT...is she asleep too........ whats happened to our family! ha... :)
** Hey Adam & ALicia are still listening.... example folks...example.... :)

Isn't this the cutest.... I ordered Pink Panther checks and check book cover. I had a photo of my "cute checks" & address lables on here too, and realized I would be posting all my info and had to delete it. ha.. way to go Gina! I grew up with the Pink Panther...loved him...guess I still do! :)








Another book I am reading. Got this from the library in town. Recommended by Lorena, of course. I try to take time to read a bit each night...but don't always get to. But, atleast I am trying to expand myself a bit into all types of literature...... Thats good right. :)

These three men are some of the most wonderful and inspirational men in my life. Are they related to me....naww...not really, but they are connected to me in a spiritual way and my heart softens when I see or hear them. President Monson is our beloved Prophet Of "The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints" with Elder Eyring & Elder Uchtdorf as his counselors. How blessed I am to even know of them and what they represent.

Well, we use these little cell phones all the time, but how often do we use them to "call upon the Father" We spend so much time talking to so many people...but we need to always remember the one we need to talk to the most is less than a "press of a button" away.

This is a song written by President Hinkley. It is simple but once you learn it, its little message stays with you. Try it...get someone to play it for you...you'll hum it all day....and possibly...you really won't forget to pray. :)

*** If anyone does't know this yet...you can click on any of the pictures on a blog and make it bigger so it can be seen better...like this song for instance. :) ***

Where would we be without our Scriputures....can't even imagine it... there was a time in my life I didn't truly understand its magnitude....thankgoodness we get to live long enough to grasp most of the things we need to while we are here. Prayer and Scripture study will enhance your life and strengthen your testimony and your families.... Don't believe it....just test it out and see. :)

Our Savior....none of our lives would be the same with out him. I know he lives and I know he loves us more than we can comprehend. I hope I can live in a way that I can walk up to him some day and not be ashamed of what I have done with the gift he gave me...... his life!

I am not sure why...but today I am feeling so grateful for so many blessings in my life. My Country is along those blessings. For all those that have fought for us and all those that continue to do so, I pray for you and am filled with gratitude for your service. Thank you.

This is gorgeous... ..when I saw this picture, I thought how gorgeous it was and I wanted anyone that every saw my blog to know of my love for the Temple. I got this from Matt Denton's Facebook. :) I want to go here during Christmas...some day...maybe Steven & Emily will take me. :)

I had to post a picture of my Utah kids... it helps keep them with me in a happy little way.... They need to hurry up and come down....we all miss them so much! Isn't this the sweetest Picture! Well this is Family Home Evening at Mom's & Dad's house the weekend of Kristy's birthday. She got more money from her grandparents and Aunt and uncle that day. More money to pay tithing on...and more money to go shopping, I'm sure! :) Kristy also got money from Her grandma Eastin and Great-grandma Bielstein in the mail....so we need to go shopping with her, she should have enough to share. :) That is the ELBOW of the Birthday girl.... :)

Anyway...back to FHE.... :) Mom is reading from a book called "Exalted" she shared some things with us that was made mention by President Bart Austin at Ward Conference the week berfore. It gives us all hope that we too can be exalted. :) Dad seems to have gone to sleep however...ha... but it was really good. :)

Adam and Alicia had gone to SanAntonio for her birthday and I can see they are a bit sunburned......but they were attentive during FHE as you can see. :)

Yes, we are still having the lesson...and this group doesn't look as excited considering the message being given.....they should of been happy......:) Seth is atleast flexing...and trying to move around to stay focused. :) It was so good to have him with us! Justin is playing with Lyndi's hair....he did that alot.... thats sweet......... I guess he just relaxed Lyndi so much she is about to slumber..... :)

Hummm....maybe that side of the room is having hard time focusing period.... ha....Ben is atleast being reverent....not sure what Jessica is doing....but she is awake...so thats good. :)

This isn't looking so good.....Spencer is out too...but mom's message is really good, I promise! :)

Now see...... a little more alert now...but I think I took this one after the closing prayer... :)

We were missing Brandy and Tom's family....they were in Pennsylvania on a History vacation! :)
