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! :)

My mother and a few other of her friends from church took a weekend trip to Houston to go to "Time Out For Women" They had a wonderful time, she wishes we could have all been there. Looks like Ondra Gilbert next to her and Sister Keough and Ann Collier(back to camera) on other side of her.









This is March 12,2009.... Nea-Nea's 17! Her Aunt Brandy sent her this little suprise to school!

















I came across this little lamp, it matched her new homemade blanket .......So, I got it! :)











Also got her some $$$$ money...so she could buy a new dress and perfume she wanted.

















Pedro and Kristy on her b-day.... at Lafinca!













A couple of friends took Kristy to Lafinca along with Pedro....
They had the staff sing to her and brought her a dessert.










These two ended up at my table after they ate.


















Adam called my cell and said "Mom why are you going to finca with out"me" on Nea's birthday... I said "I'm not..I'm at home!" He passed the van and thought it was us dining with out them. ha.. So, I said..." I would be there if I had a car....." He said well he could get me there. ha... So, he picked up Alicia from work and grabbed me and off we went. When we walked in Lafinca, someone was being sang to.... it was Nea! ha..so it was cute, I took the pictures above or there wouldn't have been any. :)

Lyndi and Justin bought me Eggs.....YUM....they brought me a regular big one on Saturday, then Sunday they brought me these.... now, we know who is special... :) I love Cadbury Eggs! Thank you Justin and Lyndi! :) Lyndi and Justin had never been "invited" to play the Wii....what was I thinkin..... :)

So, this time they got to play.... they seem to be having a good time....or is that a fight starting....hah....

hrmmmm.......hopefully he wont hurt her..... cause she doesnt have a clue whats going on behind her head. ha.... aww...justin wouldn't ever hurt lyndi..... :)

Justin was playing and was like What...happened.... guess something didn't go so well on his turn... :)

hummm....maybe this was out of order....ha... I am too tired....should of waited to do my post tomorrow instead of so late tonight.. :) Now he is playing .....below....and then the above photo he was like "whats the deal" ha.... If this is frustrating to you then just look at photos...dont read what I type.. ha... :) I seem to be getting worse lately instead of better. ha...

I love these two! I am so glad they are together...... :)

I dont know where this is....but I liked it and am putting it on my blogg....it makes me want to go to Utah.... :) I want to see the Mountains.... i want to see some snow.... i want to see my friend... and i was to see my kids! Emily, Steven and Lorena ...of course. :) Kinda makes me feel home sick and I don't live here at all...just makes me miss the ones that are up North. OH... I REMEMBER NOW WHERE I GOT THIS PICTURE.... IT WAS ON RAY SETTLES FACEBOOK.... SO THIS MUST BE COLORADO....BUT NOT POSITIVE....IT COULD OF BEEN UTAH....AND BESIDES YOU CAN GET THERE GOING THROUGH COLORADO! HA.... ROAD TRIP TIME.....GOTTA GET MY BACK WELL FAST.... :)

If you don't know who this man is....its time you do.... I am just beginning to realize his impact on this world. I watched his show today for the first time and it was very moving... Take a look.... it just might make an impact on your life as well. :) Today's show will replay on Saturday at 9 P.M. If you think of it....just turn it on. :)

Jess and Spencer came over the other day and took turns playing the Wii...Spencer doesn't seem to be having a great time,but he was when he had the remote. :) Nea is cooking corn dogs for everyone.... how sweet ....what great cooking skills Nea! :)

This is the glass mirror display box I bought for Chris's birthday to put his football souvenier in.....It will protect it from dust and little ones hands. :)

I just read this book...The Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck..... I would encourage all of you to read it. Ken and Jennifer recommended it to me and I am very glad they did. I will probably read over it again in parts....it gives you alot to think about. Great book!

Now,this little book is recommened by Lorena.... :) she said its a fun read....so I am starting that tonight....I'm finished with the first chapter....and I would say I'm having fun already...ha... :)
