New Cards and a couple of pics of the grandkids!

Ashley and the kids were at the house yesterday. We took some cute pics of Eli!
What cute grandkids I have. We were all together for Lyndon's birthday the 4th of September.

Delphia is taking a dance class on Tuesday's and she loves it. Here she is in her dance clothes.
Card I made with the mover and shaper for the big shot. Love it!

Front of my haunted house card. I did this with my Cricut and I think it turned out hauntingly cute! Hee! Hee!
I was tending Josie one afternoon and took pictures of her beside my English teddy bear! He really did come from England when we took a trip there back in 2003.
Last but not least another picture of my darling little Eli! He is such a cute little button and just smiles so easily. He is such a happy baby and I sure enjoy him. I loved having Ashley over yesterday and it was wonderful to be able to help her a bit, since she has broken her leg. She is a real trooper and really tries to do things that she is able. Ruby and Emma have been such good helpers to her. They are sweet little girls and I really enjoyed having all of them over yesterday. We had a lot of fun. Ashley even taught me a new game. It is Hand and Foot for two players and it is really fun! Now I have to teach it to Lyndon and my mom and my sister Cindy. They would love it! Good day everyone!

The garage is coming along!

Well we have been working in the garage still. I guess I should say that Lyndon had spent the most time on the garage. We have got the stud work almost finished and the pallat racking is now all up. We are going to get all the items that are on the driveway and patio back into the garage on Monday evening. It will be nice to get it all put back together. It has been a bit of a mess. It will be nice when it is done.

I went to Pocatello last Wednesday and spent three days with my mom and my sister Cindy. We had a wonderful time. We did a lot of paper crafting. It was fun! We went to lunch with Lisa and got to spend a few hours with her on Friday. I enjoyed myself and was glad to be away for everything for a few days. By Saturday morning though, I was ready to come home and be with my sweet Lyndon. We spent all afternoon trying to get the shelving on the pallet racking and bolting it down. It was hot and dirty work, but it is done! Yah! Then we got cleaned up and went to our ward movie night. It was fun and hilarious! Shane and Erin came with us and I think Delphia loved it. Well, I also heard they my sweet Ashley broke her leg, which made me really sad. It is hard to take care of little children with a broken leg, but she is in good spirits and is doing her best . I will be helping her during the next few weeks when I can. Jed has been so good to take care of her and the kids and keeping the house up. What a good guy he is. He will be back to work on Tuesday and so Ashley will need help. She has had lots of offers and she will need their help. I will be helping her as much as I can. She is a real trooper. I love her and all of my wonderful children and their spouses. I am truly blessed.

Huge! I mean HUGE! Garage cleaning out session!

Today we started cleaning out our big three car garage around 8:30 a.m. We cleaned out the kitchen cabinets from two years ago. You know... the ones Spencer smoke bombed! We borrowed a long trailer from a neighbor and hauled over half of them out to Shane and Erin's. They wanted them. It is nice to have them out of the garage. Then we spent the rest of the day moving everything out of the garage. We even tore down the shelving. We have dumpsters that the city provides once a year coming to our street on the 15th of this month and so we also have hugh pile of junk that will go into that along with all the old shelving. We still have a bit more to clean out, but not much. We hope to finish with that on Wednesday evening.

Then hopefully with some help from family we are going to reinforce the brick walls of the garage to make it more earthquake proof and keep the roof from falling down should the brick crumble. It has been a huge, dirty job, but someone had to do it and so the work of the garage project moves forward. It will be nice when it is all done. I will take pictures tomorrow.

I am working at the temple tomorrow morning and then at 11:30 a.m. I will be heading to the Murray Cannery to help with our stake's corn canning assignment. It should be a full day. I am tired and so the pictures will come tomorrow evening. I have never seen our garage so clean, but that is because it is all outside of the garage right now. Now everyone just pray that we don't get any unexpected rain storms before we get this project finished. Lyndon says he will cover everything with tarps, but I will just pray for no rain for a week or so. Well good night all, until tomorrow!
