Just a few pics from our family Christmas party on Dec. 10th

We played a game of ring the reindeer. We had a lot of fun! We had the party at Todd and Megan's home and we played this game in their basement. The kids loved it as you can see little Delphia sitting with her Rudolph nose and antlers awaiting someone to ring one of her antlers. Pretty funny!

Little Josie is trying to toss a ring at Delphia. None of the grandkids did real well, but they sure had fun, especially when they got to be Rudolph.

Here is Ruby patiently waiting for someone to make a ringer.

The funniest Rudolph was Lyndon. It was hilarious to see him with the nose and antlers. The grandkids got a kick out of it. We had a nice evening together as always!

I snapped a picture of Josie in her car seat one day. I couldn't get a smile out of her though. She is still a little cutie!

Apostles of the Lord

Neil L. Anderson

L. Tom Perry

These great men are Apostle's of the Lord Jesus Christ. We had the priviledge of having them come to our stake to teach in the 3rd Ward of the Crescent North Stake. Lyndon invited me to attend the sacrament meeting that they were speaking in. It was so marvelous and I felt the spirit so strongly. They talked of Christ, they preached of Christ and gave us a charge to teach about the Savior in our homes, to our children and make sure that they gain a testimony of him and to know that he lives! He lives! This I know and hope that all of my own children know that he lives and loves each of them and all of his children. I have set a goal to read about the Savior this month each day. To read about his life from the New Testament and the Book of Mormon. I am grateful for the opportunity and the end of the meeting to get to shake hands with these wonderful men. After the meeting they asked all priesthood ages 12 on up to meet in the Relief Society room and these men from this ward, including my husband were taught at the feet of Prophets, for two hours. Lyndon said afterwards that the meeting was wonderful and very instructive to the priesthood brethren and he took several pages of notes. I wished I could have been a fly on the wall and could have heard what was taught. We are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives. So blessed to have many temples in our midst and I am so grateful that Lyndon and I go almost weekly to attend the temple. It is a blessing in my life! I pray that this Christmas Season that each of my children will remember the Savior and all that he has done for them and each of us. I love the Savior and know that he lives and loves each and everyone of us.

I love my family! They are everything to me! That is what this life is all about is being and doing things with our families. It has been a tremendous day and I have truly felt the spirit as I attended my own meetings. I substituted in primary today and taught the sunbeams. They are sweet little children and so special in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. It was a blessing to teach them today. Life is good and I am thankful for this Christmas Season. A time to reflect on all of our blessings of the past year and remember from whom all blessings come. I hope all who read this will feel gratitude in their hearts for all that they have been blessed with.

Birthday Shoes!

This is my cute grandson...Eli Romig!

This is my darling little grand-daughter...Emma Romig!

This is my sweet and precious grand-daughter...Ruby Romig!

Yesterday I drove out to Eagle Mountain to spend the day with Ashley, Ruby, Emma and Eli. Emma just recently had a birthday on November 27th. She is now 4 years old. Ruby will having her birthday on December 7th and she will then be 6 years old. My how fast they grow! I wanted to do something for their birthdays and so I took them all to lunch at the McDonald's in Saratoga Springs. It was the place the girls chose to go. They got happy meals and were totally delighted. Ashley and I got a sandwich and enjoyed visiting together with the girls. Eli was really good too. He wanted to get down and wander. He just has a hard time sitting very long. Ashley had fed him lunch before we went and so he wasn't really hungry.

We then packed up in the car and headed to Lehi. We went to target to buy the girls birthday shoes. Ruby saw a pair of cute Hello Kitty shoes and loved them, but we decided they were not really practical for winter and a bit flimsey. She settled on a nice sturdy pair of cute gray and pink tennis shoes. They looked really cute on her. Then for Emma we looked for dress shoes and she found a cute pair of sparkly Hello Kitty shoes. They were really darling on her. We then bought socks and tights for them. I think the girls were really excited and tickled. I also have some disney dolls on order for them. I hope they will be here for Ruby's birthday. We had a fun day together. The time seemed to go by really fast, but we all had a great time. We then came back to Ashley's and I played part of a game with Ruby and Emma. We played a toy story matching game. I then had to head home because I needed to get dinner and then had YW sports night at 5:45. It was a fun day and I sure love my sweet little grand-children. They are such a blessing to their grandpa and myself.

Giving Thanks!

Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the GRATITUDE! (E.P. Powell)

I am so thankful for so many wonderful blessings given from my Heavenly Father. Too many to list them all. I am most grateful for such a wonderful and loving husband, who takes such great care of me and loves me even when I don't always deserve it. I am also thankful for children who each have great strengths and courage in their lives, to stand up for what they believe and to teach their children the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love all of my children and grandchildren. They are truly a blessing in my life. I am so thankful for the blessing and knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. To know him as my Savior and know that he lives and loves me and each of us. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving day and I hope that I can remember all that my ancestors before me have done that I may enjoy the blessings of freedom and the all that I now enjoy in my life. I call them blessed. I am so blessed to have the wonderful parents that loved and raised me righteously and taught me through love and example to become the person that I am today. I give them much praise and adoration. I am so happy to know that my parents and my children are mine if I live righteously and that we will be together forever. I hope that I will always be thankful and show it in my actions each day. I am looking forward to being with family this Thanksgiving Weekend it will bring much joy! I hope that we may all live each day with gratitude in our hearts and thankfulness to our Heavenly Father for all that he blesses us with each day. We are all truly blessed.

Newly Created Cards for the Holidays!

I love, love, love this card! My mom and I created this one while she was here visiting.

A pretty snowflake from the Art Phylosophy Cartridge. Quite pretty and simple.

Oh! Christmas Tree, how lovely are thy branches!

Frosty the Snowman...was a jolly happy soul.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-tingatingalon too! Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you!

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there!

Joy to the World the Lord is come! Let earth receive her king!

Just thought I would put a little Christmas jingle along with each card to help you all feel the Christmas spirit a bit more. I know we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, but I like to start a bit early. Love you all and hope you enjoy the eye candy in cards. Have a good one, all!

Beautiful Heartbreak - Hilary Weeks - Every Step

I love this video! I love listening to Hilary Weeks voice and her music. This is from her new album and it is called "Beautiful Heartbreak". I want to get the cd. I first received some of her music from my daughter Erin and I have loved it ever since. It brings me strength and fills my soul with happiness and the courage to take each new day with faith and joy! I love the this song and hope you will too, and it is o.k. if you cry when you listen to it. I know that I did.

SEMA Car Show in Las Vegas 2011

We attended the SEMA Car Show October 2nd to the 5th in Las Vegas. It was really amazing all the cars that are at the show and the work that goes into all of them. I loved looking at the different styles of cars and how they were painted. The artists that air brush the cars are truly amazing. We had a good time, but I was glad to come home and leave the city of sin. As they say, There's no place like home and your very own bed.
