Sometimes I think there must be an easier way(and I'm sure there is...) when every week I enter all your emails in to send off. Luckily, I just type the first letter or two and it enters in. I do it on my phone, it's easier for me that way. But I haven't figured out a way to do a group email on my phone with the same emails every week. But then, when I'm entering them in and trying to think of everyone, it gives me a chance to briefly think about each name and smile and think how much I love each person on this email list! And how blessed I am to have you all in my life!

This week was mostly a good week. I had one night when I realized a difficulty in our lives and I did a why my and was very grumpy. But in the morning I was better and ready to tackle it and try to be better. At least with age, it's something I'm familiar with.. just tired of being familiar with it.. but oh well!

Ray is getting new glasses. The frames that work best for him were only in the Tacoma Costco, so we went up there to get them Saturday. I talked him into going to Point Defiance. The beach there- Owen Beach is one of my favorites. To me, it is so serene and relaxing. It was cloudy, but still so beautiful! You could see MT. Rainier in the distance. We didn't stay too long(Ray was cold) but it was just what I needed.


This weekend was stake conference. It was wonderful as usual! Sis. Blatter talked in the evening session and talked about many things to help prepare kids for missions like, make sure they know how to cook a little, grocery shop, clean a bathroom, wash, make their bed, get up by themselves, etc. etc. I came home and told Keagan and he was so funny! He didn't believe me! He said, mom, you're just saying that so I will do it. Ha! Ha! Silly boy!

The choir sang, "I believe in Christ" it was so beautiful! I wish I could of recorded it. And the spirit was amazing!

Love you all!
Have a good week!

And of course, cute Hazel pics!


This picture was the CUTEST thing ever! Hazel just randomly stopped and gave her mom a kiss! She had never done that before. She gives kisses sometimes when you ask her to, but not on her own. Melted all our hearts! And once again, I'm so grateful for modern technology so I could see it!
