Hi Everyone:D We just wanted to make a post. We had a primary activity on Saturday, I was in charge of it cause I am 1st counselor, It was titled "Gratitude Attitude." This is how I have been feeling ever since. I am so thankful for all of you...our friends and family!!! Madi & Becca wanted to go to church with us on Sunday because it was my turn for "Sharing Time" and we had made "Gratitude Journals" for all the kids and a house out of a cardboard box and of course artist Madi & Becca helped with all of that. In the house were many things we are thankful for so the kids loved it and I am always crazed after Primary is over!!! During Fast & Testimony meeting the girls kept begging Larry to go bear his testimony which he never does because he does it when he gives his Gospel Doctrine lessons. So the girls persisted and Larry said "have you got a dollar, if you do I will" so they proceed to get a dollar out of my purse and he had to do it. Then they would not give up until I had gone up too. I totally did what you are not supposed to do when bearing your testimony and that is told a story about when we were first put back in this ward last year and Larry and I were on the stand to speak in Sacrament Meeting and the guy playing the organ is expert!!! He and his wife lived in NYC and played on Broadway and Larry leaned over to me and said "Hey ask him to play In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida so I leaned my head over and the organist, who is now our Bishop Skousen, made eye contact with me and I said "Hey Larry wants you to play In-A-Gadda--Da-Vida he just kind of snickered but after Sacrament Meeting was over and the chapel had clearned out he played a couple of notes of it. So I kind of told that story in my testimony. I wonder if that will be in the book in heaven that records our testimonies...I hope I am not in trouble!!! Larry is so excited because he is the absolute KING of Christmas music, in fact he is famous for it!!! We have a young Mother in our ward that used to sing on Broadway and is so cute, she just had a baby boy and she is going to come over before Christmas and sing "O Holy Night" for Larry accompanied by Bishop Skousen and his cute wife Tara will play the Harp...Are we lucky or what??? LOVE TO ALL OF YOU AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO HAVE YOU IN OUR LIVES...IS BLOGGING GREAT OR WHAT!!!

You guys are a HOOT! At least it was an entertaining story. That had to liven up the meeting. We are thankful for you guys too. Isn't it great that we have such an awesome extended family! Love you - hope to see you soon.
You're too funny! I am thankful for you both too!!
Blogging is awesome. I love to read your funny stories.
I feel in touch when I can hear some of your funny stories. I love our family too & hope we can all get together again soon. I was thinking we need to plan a Thanksgiving/Golf holiday in Mesquite and all head to a big buffet for dinner. That would be fun!
