Fun Stuff

This past weekend I went to Utah, I hitched a ride with Cory and John, so I could meet up with my sisters and I snuck my mom in too! Actually it was just a quick day trip to the Flower wholesalers to get flowers for Shaely's bouquet and and other fun stuff. We,meaning Mom and I were dropped off at Marla's. We then headed to Murray to the the Cheesecake factory! We had to have lunch to do such hard and tedious shopping! We met Debbie for Lunch. We girls have to get our time in together somehow. Even if it is only for lunch and shopping.

So we found all the flowers and whatnot without too much difficulty, then we went to another shop (I won't mention the name) and I found some cute things to make some Christmas gifts. I was so happy to find those treasures. Pocatello does not offer too much in the way of variety for crafts and fun stuff like that. BOOHOO!

I am looking forward to having family here this weekend for Cory's mission report! It seems like he has been home for a while. Oh, Woops ust happened that Conference was the following Sunday, then we had Fast Sunday, then High Council Sunday, then the Primary program, now Cory will finally get to give his talk. It will be Halloween! I am anxious to see the grandkids in their Halloween costumes. I hope it is not too cold either! The last two days have been very chilly!

Elder Thompson is home

He is home and it has been so good to see him again.
Logan and Tracie, took him to the store and bought him some new duds.
That was so nice of them!
Cory is such a blessing in our lives. I was kind of nervous to have him come home,
because we have been so blessed while he was on his misssion.
I hope we still get some blessings.
Now i am anxious to hear some of the experiences that he has had.
I know that he has not had much sleep the last couple of days so hopefully he
can get a good nights rest tonight!
Oh it has been a happy day!

the latest news

Life has been good and busy this summer! Love to be busy just not too busy!
John has been trying to get a shed built. He finally has the cement pad poured. thanks to good helpers. Greg and Bob Gibbs and Matt Hansen, thanks so much! Now we are just waiting for his next available day to start building the shed. Maybe Cory will have to help finish it when he gets home. He comes home from his mission on September 28 at 12 noon. I can hardly believe it is so close now. The time has gone quickly! He will report his mission either on the 3rd Sunday in October or the 5th Sunday. the Bishop gave me the date of the 31 Halloween Sunday but there could be a possibility that one of the High Council men will want to have him speak with him. So I will keep you posted as to which date it will be.
I have been wanting to craft again. I did get a few cards made recently I will post later. Maybe!

I want to wish our grandson David Forscutt a very Happy birthday today! I hope you have a terrific birthday! My birthday card to you will be late as I didn't get it in the mail in time! sorry!

Happy day to all!

I have had a very busy Summer! We went to Park City for a Thompson family reunion and 3 days later John and I headed off to girls camp. And next week we have a Whiting family reunion. I love having so much to do in the summer yet it would be less hectic to have a few weeks in between activities. I am not complaining about having fun It is just all the work in between the fun that has to be done.Whew! I have had a bum leg because my sciatic nerve has been giving me fits so it is making my life not so pleasant. But I am truly grateful to such a great family! They were and are a great help to me. Greg and Alexis had Vella blessed this last Sunday and I was kind of out of commission so all the family pitched in to help me out! It is kind of nice to get the needed help from my family. Everyone! I mean even the kids from out of town really did a lot with meals and cleaning up. Family! You are AMAZING! THANKS! I Love You all so much!

Our Sweet Vella

We love to see our newest grand baby. She sleeps so much during the day so it is good when we see her little peepers open.
