swimming and the farm

Laex got a small pool from Grammie and Papa for his B-day, well we got it blown up and it already had holes so we exchanged it for something a bit bigger! He loves it, the only problem is it's a bit too deep for him yet so one of us has to be in there with him --LeGrand might shoot me for these photos :) --the water was super cold and Laex kept splashing him, lol!











































We can't pass up 2-buck Tuesday at Thanksgiving point! Laex enjoyed the animals more this year and was so happy to ride the pony by himself!

Little Miracles

I so appreciate the times when I can see the Lord's hand working in the details of my life. I appreciate even more that I can recognize these moments and become better through them. I had one of these experiences today, and I never want to forget it.

Laex and I were on our way home from the grocery store when I hit a pot-hole and just happened to flatten my tire. The road we were on runs parallel to jogging trail. I was initially a little shook up - going through my head how I was going to change this dang tire (I was also a bit T-O'd). There was a gentleman running who stopped and suggested that I drive slowly to the little park up the road (less than a mile away) because it would be easier to change the tire there. After what seemed FOR.EVER. I made it to the parking lot of the park and pulled in next to a car with an older Man and his two puggs. Much to my dissapointment the gentleman who was running, just continued to run right by. Although he wasn't much help, I quickly realized that the lord had worked through him to give me the advice I recived. The Older Man in the car immediately jumped out and offered to help, Iwas so grateful. We got the "donut" out along with all of the tools and proceeded to jack up the car and remove the lug nuts, just to discover that one of the lug nuts was a different size --this posed a BIG problem because the tools in the car are made specifically for the car - and if we couldn't get this lung nut off, we wouldn't be able to change the tire. The older man decided to check the tools from his car just to see if "by chance" his wrench fit that one odd lug nut. Once more I saw the Lord working, his wrench just happened to fit. He finished up the job for me and I Thanked and Thanked him for his help and voiced how lucky I was that he was at this place at this time to help me, his reply is something I'll never forget. He said, "We were both lucky, I don't even know why I came here today."

I know why he was there, and I know more than ever that Heavenly Father worked through two strangers to make my day!

Silly
















For the first time in over 6 years I got to see and visit with one of my favorite people from my nanny days! Silly Sara and her darling family visited, it was great to catch up -it brought back lots of memories and reminded me of how much I miss her! Next we'll have to plan a visit to their home in Colorado.

Neighborhood Night Out

We had our annual Neighborhood Night Out Against Crime --It was a fun time with yummy goodies!
Laex loved the K-9 and the life flight helicopter which he got to explore!

Studio 5

















It's always a great time when I get to spend a day at the KSL Studio's!
With my 'regular' baby-sitter away chaperoning Girls Camp, I invited Paige and Maddi to join me as "mobile" babysitters while I did my live segment on the 29th!
They had fun getting to watch all the "behind the scenes" excitment of the show and Laex had a fun time exploring and meeting everyone!

#2

I can hardly believe it but our little man is now 2! Wow!
We're hoping for Terrific Two's rather than Terrible Two's :)
He had a great time enjoying his new "4-wheeler", visiting with Grammie and Papa and eating dinner at the Texas Roadhouse on his B-day!
Then Saturday we got to party hardy with lots of great friends and family at his "Ball" themed B-day party - complete with Meat'ball' subs, Melon-ball salad and Cake Bites (ball shaped)!
What fun!
