No Idea

I have no idea what I have done to my blog. I thought that it was saving my stuff and then everything changed. Now I can't get our picture back on in the right size and if I change the background back to what it was it is going to erase everything but my blogs. Is there anyway to get more than one picture in the header? What do I do?

No more bad mom

Jacob came home from school today and said that they have early release on Friday. His teacher always staples a paper around the kids wrist to remind parent about early realease days. So, Jacob being so smart told me that on Friday morning when I get up I need to staple it around my wrist so that I won't forget him again. Now I just have to remember to staple it on my wrist on Friday. I have the worst memory. I hope he will remind me.

The Talk

The talk went well. I cried alot, of course. I know that I would as soon as he told me the topic. I didn't even use the talk that I prepared, which is really weird for me because I usually never stray from my planning. I talked about my family growing up and how I really looked up to my parents and really want to be the mother that my mom was to me, very strong and patient. How important the dinningroom table is. I have some of the best memories at our dinningroom table, all the conversations we had there and still have there. Then of course I had to talk about my brother in-law, Ehren, who just passed away last year. How strong my sister is because of the
knowledge she has that they will be together again. I also talked about how it is so much harder when you don't have that knowledge, like Ehren's parents and how they think that they will never ever see their son again. That would be so hard. Then after I cried a ton and no one could understand me, I'm sure. I talk about doing genealogy work for those family members who have already pasted on. I talked about the new family search website that my dad was showing Chris and I this weekend. As he was showing us what he has been doing, he realized that he never sealed his grandparents to eachother, he thought that he had. He was so excited to find this. He printed it out and that will be the next thing that he does at the Temple. He will probably go this next weekend.
I think it turned out well. Even though they probably couldn't understand half of my talk. Oh, well.

HOLY COW



I literally have a half of a cow in my freezer. From the good meat like ribs, t-bone, roast to the weird stuff like neck bone, liver, soup bone, tail, and even the tongue. What do I do with all that stuff. Good thing I didn't have much in me freezer for once. As you can see I have to have the ice cream with all my meat.
The reason I have all this meat is because a friend talked Chris into going in with him on buying a cow. There was going to be another guy, so we would split it in 3rds. But the other guy moved. We got a half a cow, over 200 lbs of meat. It takes up my whole extra freezer plus some. All that in the freezer, except the ice cream and chicken, is cow and all those little white bags, cow. CRAZY!! My fingers are totally num after handling all that.

Talking on Sunday

I am giving a talk on Sunday. My topic is building an Eternal Family. There is so much I could talk about, it is overwhelming. I am thinking about going in the direction of the importance of little children in the world and to the future of our church, and our eternal calling as mothers and fathers in raising these children. Does anyone have any suggestions or great ideas for me.

Basketball

I played again. It was much better this time. My blisters did come back, but other than that I am good. I guess I just had to warm up some, because I finally made some shots. I will be going back tonight. Maybe I will be even better. Watch out boys, here I come!!

So much Pain!!

Chris hurt me really bad last night. He took me to play basketball with the guys he works with. Now my body really hurts, blisters on the balls of my feet, banged up knee, elbo, and sholder, and a little bump on my head from an elbo (from being short). I wish I was a little bit taller. I wish I was a baller (do you know this song. It is really funny.) What's wrong with me, it has only been aout 10 years since I have played ball. Oh, well. I guess this means I will be readdy for next week.
I hope!!
