On Oct 14 Levi and Leslie drove up to go to a Wedding recepiton of one of Leslie's old roomates.
They drove up in Levis truck, so Levi could go through some of his boxes and take back some of his things that I have been storing for him. It was so good to see him. We spent time visiting on Saturday. Sunday we had a nice dinner and then went to visit grandparents. Time always goes to fast when I am with my kids. It was a great weekend. I always feel so blessed when I get to spen time with my kids.

On Sunday we had a farewell dinner for James, because he is going to bootcamp. He has decidedto join the army and serve his country. We are very proud of him for this decision. Dave thinks this will be a very good thing for James. Of course we will miss him and our prayers will be with him always. We had my Mom and Dad, Lindsey and Dylan, Sarah, Jacob, Jen (Jame's girlfriend) and Jens parents over for dinner. We cooked out steaks and had some yummy sides. It was fun to be together and spend this time with James. Dave's brother John and his wife, Nathan and Mia who are cousins came also.

I'm going to be a Grandma

Ashley and Wendel

They are going to be such great parents

A month ago Ashley and Wendel told us some amazing news. I am going to be a Grandma!!! Of course I was sworn to secrecy, because they didn't want anyone to know until they were 3 months along. I want you to know that I was very good, and didn't even tell my parents. There is something about knowing your daughter is going to be a mother. One of my greatest joys is being a mother, and I am so excited that Ashley will have that wonderful experience. Your life changes forever, but it is a good thing.

When Ashley and Wendel were here last month interviewing for a job, we all went out to dinner (Me, Dave, Lindsey, Dylan, Fred and Linda Schultz, Bethany and her friend) to the Blue Iguana. Just as everyone was getting ready to leave, Ashley said they had an announcement to make... they told us they were expecting in March. Now to say that I got excited would be an understatement. I was probably an embarssament to them, but I just couldn't have been happier. I have been waiting a long time for this.

It will also be another wonderful phase in my life. People tell me that being a grandma is even better that being a mom. I am so grateful for all of my wonderful children. I have been so blessed in my life. Thank you Ashley and Wendel for this wonderful gift. I am so proud of both of you and love you so much.

Lavander Days in Mona Utah

It was such a beautiful overcast day

Mom and I in the Lavander Fields

I thought I would catch up a little on my blog. July 11 Mom and I went to the Lavander Days in Mona Utah. It is amazing to see the fields of lush purple lavander. We picked bouquets of lavander and each made a wreath. It was something mom has always wanted to do, so I am glad we could go together.

My Wonderful Husband June 21,2009

Since today is Fathers Day I wanted to pay tribute to my husband Dave. I have been so blessed to have Dave in my life and in the life of my children. I appreciate how he leads and supports our family. Even though we have gone through some trials as a couple, we have grown closer because of them. I am so grateful that Dave and I were able to go through the temple and be sealed. I am grateful for his example and his unconditional love towards me. Thank you Dave for everything you do for me and our family. I love you

Fathers Day June 21,2009

Today is Fathers Day and I would like to express my love to my father. He has always been there for me. I appreciate the support he has given me throughout my life. I also admire him for his dedication and love for the gospel. Thanks Dad for everything. I love you.
