LM has decided to go back home first thing in the morning. I am happy that she is not leaving today. Our meeting at church went wonderful today. Our primary meetings went wonderfully and we were able to attend Relief Society without any worry or concern. My husband ended out teaching one of the classes and I was very inspired by what he did. He taught some of the lesson it was on how the early prophets testified of Christ, they were possed the question who in our day testify of Christ. The class mentioned the prophet, his apostles. My husband told the children that they were going to walk around the church halls and ask people if they testified of Christ. The first person they came across was Sister Avery. They asked do you testify of Christ. She said, Absolutely I do. Then they asked how. She commented on a few things. In the way she raises her family. How her family tries to be obedient, reads the scriptures, say their prayers, trying to keep a good spirit in their home. Then they all said Thank-you and continued to walk on. They ran into a young man who was 22 from the Singles Ward and asked, "Do you testify of Christ?" He said, Yes I do. They asked how? He said, in the way I dress, in the way I act, in the way I conduct myself and in my speech. (I loved his comments they were probably the best words heard, meant with sincerity that a young man could say.)Then they headed down the hall towards the Stake offices. President Young was standing outside his office, he was busy going in his office with someone for an appointment so they talked to Bro. Bandley. They asked him the same question. He responded with of course I do. The children asked how and he said I am here in this office, I do what is required of me. I come to church and do my responsibility faithfully. I am here because I chose to be and I love my Savior. They left and headed down the hall towards the missionary plaques. Standing in front of the show case was Bro. Devonno. They asked him the same question. He answered with a strong, Yes I do. Then went on to ask each child their names and acted genuinely interested in each child, then explained how he testified of Christ. That brought the class in front of the missionaries and the class talked about each one of the missionaries testifying of Christ. Afterwards they headed back to the room. What a wonderful experience. Some of the children suspected that my husband had planned this all and set people at certain points, but it was all impromptu. What a great lesson and certainly a testimony to me. We all need to testify of Christ in everything we do. I guarantee we would live a life of extremely goodness if we did. I know this little lesson will certainly help me.
The lesson in Relief Society was wonderful, the presidency gave it and they all did a wonderful job. They are certainly all inspired wonderful women.

February 5th Saturday
My daughter KC came and got the two grand children and took them out with my 2 daughters to eat. She also bought them each a stuffed animal. It was a lot of fun for them and their stuffed animals can never be out of their sights they love them so much. It was fun for all of them and they got to get out of the house and do something different.
It is pretty cold outside but LM wanted some pictures for her photography blog. The picutres she wanted was Bridal pictures. So she dress KC and TC up in her wedding dress and a dress they designed out of some stuff around the house. I don't know how they stood out side in that cold and continued to take different shots. It was especially bad because they were in their dresses without coats. But they seemed to enjoy themselves in all that they did. They even took some amazing pictures in the orchard. I can't believe how good LM has become at photography. I am happy for her, she is certainly talented.
My daughter KC is a fantastic artist. She drew a picture of SM and the Savior. It is absolutely beautiful. She certainly has a lot of talent. She took about a month to draw the picture. It is large about 19 by 24. So today LM, KC and I went out shopping for a frame while TC tended the children. I am sure that she thought we would never come home, because everything we picked out was out of stock. It was rather depressing. But we finally found the perfect frame, border and glass. The picture ended out costing my daughter 85 dollars but it couldn't have looked more perfect. I am plenty proud of a job well done. It took all of our cooperation to finally get it all done. KC did a great job, if you would like to see it you can go to her blogspot, it is called Inspired by a memory. She is amazing. (The actual blogspot is inspiredbyamemory.blogspot.com)

February 4th Friday
Little MJ is doing better today. I told my daughter that it will be one of those quick sicknesses and I certainly believe that. D&J came and picked up SM tonight and they took her out to eat. She came home with a piece of cake, a chocolate drink, and apples with a apple dip. She seemed to love it all and couldn't stop eating. It was fun for her to be with her Aunt and Uncle. They love to be at my house because there are a couple of Aunts and Uncles that can spoil them.
We are going to all attend Relief Society on Sunday because the our Relief Society President wants to give each of the sisters a special lesson on visiting teaching. We decided to have opening exercises with all the primary children the first hour and then ask the men of the ward to take care of the primary classes. It has been a chore trying to get everything organized. JL has done most of it with a little help from the rest of us. I am so grateful for her help and dedication. It has certainly been a lot of phone calls on her part. But I think the way we decided to bring it all together will be the best way for all involved. JL is in charge of sharing time and she will do a great job.

February 3rd Thursday
I am so grateful that my daughter LM is here. We are having so much fun with our grand children. Unfortunately little MJ came down with a fever tonight. We are trying to figure out how she got it so quickly. Then JL reminder her that she took her children to lunch at Wendy's and they played in the children's play ground. They had so much fun but not without consequence. They didn't clean their hands while eating, so that means that little MJ could have come down with anything.
It makes me kind of sad though because it seems that everytime LM comes to visit us her children get sick. I am sure it won't make her dear husband happy to send her to Utah any more. But we love them and are enjoying them her with us. It makes life seem a little bit better because we have fun little grand children to keep things going and not concentrate on other things.

February 2nd Wednesday
I am so happy my daughter finally arrrived with little MJ and SM. I love them and was so happy to see my precious daughter and her dear children. They go off on the wrong road and ended out going about 45 minutes out of their way. So it took them 6 hours to get here. I am just so glad that they were protected and are safely here. It is so good to see them again.
I had a presidency meeting for Primary tonight. My husband was working in J&D's basement so the noise during the presidency meeting was quite loud. Especially stappling the insulation to the ceiling. Once again a miserable husband for the evening. I admire that he will do that because it certainly isn't an easy job at all. But he does keep on going at it anyway. We have ward conference in 1 week from Sunday. I will be conducting and LW will be doing sharing time. It won't be easy for either one of us. I know we can count on the Lord to be with us and help us.
We had so much fun tonight when I got home from my presidency meeting. My dear husband decided to make some fun for his grand children. He put two matteress down the stairs and MJ and SM had so much fun that you would have thought they were at Disney World. The ran up one set of stairs and slide down the other set. We were laughing so hard and had so much fun. I always knew that building both sets of stairs would come in handy one day and it appears to me that we have found that day. I hated to see it all end.

February 1st Tueday
It is the beginning of a new month. I know how important this month is going to be for us. I pray that miracles will happen. My daughter is suppose to be coming tomorrow with my sweet little grand children. I am so excited. We will have a lot of fun I am sure.
Once again my husband has been doing insulation. He came home with such red eyes and a red looking face. I feel so bad for him. Insulation isn't easy for anyone. Especially doing a whole lot of insulation. A whole basement. He should be done in a couple of days, but he comes home and changes his clothes quickly just to get away from the insulation. It is itchy and mean to the face and especially the eyes. I keep telling my husband to go and buy some goggles. But he doesn't think that is the most important thing to spend his money on. Right now it seems important to me because it will protect his eyes. Jennifer says she goes down into the basement to sweep the floor and it is miserable. I can imagine what she is going through. My husband just needs to protect himself a little more in this construction business.

January 31st Monday
My husband is still in pain but knows that he has to get back to his job of finishing a basement and get the ceiling filled with insulation. It is a hard for him to do it because he is still experiencing a lot of back pain. Climbing up and down, cutting insulation in half and working with it. I don't envy him at all. It is made out of fiber glass and cause real irritation to everything it touches. He borrowed my Dad's truck and picked up the insulation. He will then get started on a tough job. My daughter has been working hard on getting the basement cleaned out so it will be easy to work around in. My husband had his 4 way inspection a few weeks ago. The guy that inspected the place was plenty impressed and didn't even give him any more to do. He walked away with a perfect inspection. I wish he could have started on the insulation right then but his back has been in pain ever since. I hate to see him in pain especially when he has so much to do. It hurts my heart. We had family night tonight. The girls went to Jennifer's. We had family night. It was great because we studied a few of the articles in the Ensign. I know it is important to do everthing we can so that our future will be bright. And this is a great start.
