Blessings!!

I had the opportunity last night to receive my Patriarchal blessing wow what a great experience, i cant believe that i have not done this before know. I am just still just amazed at how in tune with the spirit these wonderful men serving the lord are. I met him one time and i feel like he knew everything about me, because of him being close to his heavenly father. I want one every day, it helped me so much and will continue to help me through out my life. I felt so lucky to have a family that is so close to the church and i also felt so very grateful for all that has happened in my life, trials and all, they have helped me become a stronger person, and will help me in the future when raising my little family. I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for all that he has done for me for his sacrifice for me. I am thankful for my family and the closeness that we share, for their example and their love for the lord also, i am thankful for the 3 little miracles that i have in my life for the love and joy that they bring into my home and for there love for life, i am thankful for Paul and all that he does for me and my kids, for the hard worker that he is and the example he is to me and my kids and those around him. I am thankful for the prophet and his faith and guidance that he shares with each one of us. I am so very thankful for the church and for the opportunity that i have to be a member and to be able to attend the temple and be an eternal family, i cant Imagine life without my family, i hope that this will help me grow stronger and be a better person to all that i come in contact i hope that i can also be an example to my kids and to those around me. I am thankful for the patriarch and his wife for serving the lord so diligently. Thanks to every one that has had any type of influence in my live i love you all.

UEA!!!

Austin loves clean so he does the most at our house!!!



We didn't do to much UEA weekend but we did have fun spending time with each other. Thursday night we stayed at my Grandparent house and just relaxed, that is Paul's new favorite getaway. Then we came home Friday and relaxed at home, the kids were able to play with the neighbors and then watch movies at night. Saturday we got up and of course we cleaned, that is a Saturday thing at our house,then went to walmart to get some things, i bought these things to decorate the pumpkins with, cause my kids hate to carve them and touch the stuff inside them. They turned out so cute. Then Sunday we did our ritual,went to church,dinner and visited the family, which is so nice and i enjoy it so much.

All i want for Christmas!!

All i want for Christmas is my two front teeth. Allie had no teeth just in time for Halloween and Christmas. She looks like a cute little pumpkin.

BUMBO

Payzlie loves her Bumbo she thinks that she is big when she sits in it.

91st Birthday

We had a Birthday party on Sat. for my Grandpa Swanner, he turned 91 years old. He is a neat grandpa, i have a lot of fun little memories that i share with him, that i will always remember. Like collecting rocks, doing yard work,picking raspberries and eating them with cream and sugar, and one thing that i will always remember about him is his jam that he makes,and still does to this day. Grandpa swanner has alot of good traits about him that he has passed on to his grand kids, like making Jam, and keeping a neat yard and house. I always tell my kids that they have to drink milk so they can be like Grandpa Swanner, he is 91 years old and has NEVER had a broken bone in his body, he has been in a horse accident and cars accidents and still no broken bone, but he has drank lots of milk since he was a little little boy. We love you Grandpa S. I have been working on his gift for a while, and i got it done to give to him for his birthday. I have typed up his mothers history that she wrote in a note book that is fading and he couldn't see to read it, so i typed it and made the lettering bigger, he loved it.

Angels amoung us!!!

I got that call this morning that every one fears, that someone you love is hurt. At 10:30am my phone rang, it was my brother looking for my mom and he sounded upset i asked him what was wrong and he proceeded to tell me that Kelci ( his wife) was in a bad accident on the freeway, but he did say that he had talked to her and she said she was OK. I headed to the hospital when i got another call that said she really is OK and they were taking her just to get check out, that's when it hit me, i repeated what was said to me, she rolled her car and she is not hurt then i started to cry with cold chills running down my spine, my Aunt on the other end said yes and we can replace the car, but not Kelci. Someone (an angel) was with her and watching over her. Her car was totaled and smashed everywhere but were she was sitting. She had a bruised thumb and a scratch or two from the glass. I am so thankful for Kelci and the joy that she has brought into our family, she is such a sweet spirit to have around and i am thankful for the things that she taught(not intentionally) today. This is a good lesson to all of us, WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT, and that is one of the reasons that Kelci is with us today,and all those angels that were with her today. Thanks you!!! We love you Kelci

One funny thing that she does is a cute little dance. Some little hip movement that she picke up it is so funny, i will post video later it is so cute.

Conference Weekend

What a nice weekend this turned out to be. Friday afternoon we went to my grandmas house and spent the night, it was so nice and relaxing, we woke up Saturday and watched both sessions of conference. They were both very inspirational sessions, every time i watch conference it seems like it is all directed to me, its amazing that our Heavenly Father know just what we need as individuals, i myself needed to hear and watch this conference. Then Sunday Morning Suzee did a wonderful breakfast for everyone. We came home after and took a much needed nap for all of us, then went to my moms for Sunday dinner. I am so thankful for my family and the close relationship that we all share, and for those who make it happen, those who bring us together, and those who make it complete. I love you all so very much.
