ANNIVERSARY

My heart is so full today. I know that my HEAVENLY FATHER loves me and watches over me in all that I do. I also know that I am daughter of OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
I am so thankful for my temple marriage and I know that if I live the way I am supposed to that I can someday return and be with my husband. I am thankful for my loving mom and dad that care and have been there for me. I also have a loving family that cares about me and my doings. I want to thank all my family members and friends for being there for me. I know that my Heavenly Father watches over me, because when I am having troubles at night He is there to wake me up. I also know that Kenny watches over me at night too.
I am thankful for a loving prophet that lives today, President Thomas Monson. I am thankful the lessons that we have had in Relief Society on our Prophet Joseph Smith and to learn of the trials that he had to go through. As I sit here and write this message, I want to thank Kenny for 31 years of a wonderful marriage. The love he had for me. Yes, sometimes they were hard but I'm not perfect. I want to tell him HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. We would have been married 36 years today.

FAMILY PICNIC

My dad and my grandma Henderson's birthday were so close that we celebrated them together with our annual steak fry. We haven't had a steak fry for a long time and my dad said let's have one. So Deb and I put it together, and we held it at Alameda Park next to the swings so the kids could play while we cooked the steaks. Debra and Doyle and some of their kids and grandchildren came, Susan and Eric, and Nicole came , Nord and Shawna and Lacey and Ryan came, Tim and Joyce and children came, Lewis was unable to come because he was in Florida for work but his wife Sydney came up from Nibley and their son Jace and Jessica and Tate came. Also Shane and Laure came. Nancy and Chris, Lisa and Brian, and kids came also. We all had a
good time. I took pictures to remember this.

THIS WAS A FUN MEMORY

EEKS A MOUSE IN MY HOUSE

CHRIS CAME DOWN STAIRS TO LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS READY FOR BED. ALL OF SUDDEN HE SAYS, "MOM, THERE IS A MOUSE RIGHT HERE." "CRAP," I SAID. WE FOUND SOMETHING TO PUT IT IN AND TOOK IT OUT THE FRONT DOOR. I THREW IT IN THE STREET AND THEN I HIT AND HIT AND I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD. NOPE! THAT MOUSE WAS GONE WHEN I WENT BACK OUT TO WATER MY FLOWERS.

WET AND STORMY JULY

I KNOW I'M BEHIND IN POSTING BUT I AM STILL LEARNING. I JUST WANTED TO POST SOME OF THE PICTURES I TOOK OF OUR JULY WEATHER. THIS WAS A SATURDAY AFTERNOON WHEN THE STORM HIT. IT RAINED SO HARD AND THEN IT HAILED. THERE WAS SO MUCH THAT WE HAD PEOPLE OUT ON THEIR 4 WHEELER PULLING PEOPLE ON TUBES. IT WAS FUN TO WATCH THEM. THEN ON SUNDAY WE ONLY HELD SACRAMENT SO THE PEOPLE COULD GO OUT AND HELP WARD MEMBERS THAT HAD GOT FLOODED.

Damn I just lost everything I had done, now I have to start all over. I said I was just learning. They say you can teach old dogs new tricks does that mean you can teach old ladies new things too?



THIS IS LOOKING OUT MY FRONT DOOR AS THE
RAIN IS POURING OFF THE ROOF OF MY HOUSE.
IT IS RAINING SO HARD THAT THE RAIN GUTTERS
WON'T HANDLE IT ALL .



AFTER THE RAIN, THE HAIL CAME. THIS
IS WHAT SOME OF THE STREETS LOOKED LIKE.
I AM STANDING ON MY FRONT PORCH TAKING
THIS PICTURE. SOME OF THE STREETS LOOKED
LIKE THEY HAD NEVER BEEN PLOWED.



THEN COMES MY POOR TOMATO PLANTS.


THEN OUT CAME THE RAINBOWS. THIS TELLS
ME THAT THE LORD STILL HAS WORK FOR US
TO DO. I THINK THAT RAINBOWS ARE REALLY
NEAT TO LOOK AT.





I LOVE TO SEE THE DOUBLE RAINBOWS.
