GENERAL CONFERENCE WEEK!

YA-HOO THE ZIPPAY'S ARE COMING TO MY HOUSE, SO I CAN MUNCH ON SOME LITTLE CHEEKS!! IT IS PRETTY FUNNY WHEN YOUR ONCE TEENAGE DAUGHTER WHO SWEARS SHE WILL NEVER DECORATE LIKE YOU DO, CALLS UP AND ASKS FOR HALLOWEEN DECOR!! I LOVE IT, A LITTLE BIT OF PAY BACK, BUT I ALSO LOVE THE FACT THAT SHE IS CRAFTY!! LIFE IS GOOD FOR OUR FAMILY, LEARNING LOTS AND TRUSTING IN OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. WE HAVE TWINS AT OUR HOUSE NOW AND WITH CASH AROUND IT FEELS LIKE TRIPLETS, THEY ALL KEEP ME GOING THOUGH. WE NAMED OUR TWINS-POSIE AND PICKLES, THEY WERE A EARLY B-DAY PRESENT FROM MY SWEET HUSBAND. IT'S HOT HERE, LIKE 90 DEGREES, HOW WIERD IS THAT, I EVEN HAVE THE A.C. ON, CRAZY STATE OF IDAHO FOR YA. LOVE YA, C

WELL I THINK THE LAST TIME I BLOGGED, I HAD JUST COME HOME FROM HAVING MY FIRST GRANDBABY. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAVE TRULY ENJOYED HAVING THAT CUTIE AROUND, SHE IS SO ACTIVE AND CUDDLY!! I GUESS I WILL JUST START OFF WITH JUNE-MARTY AND ME CELEBRATED OUR 21ST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, OF COURSE HE WAS IN VEGAS AND I WAS AT HOME, BUT THE WEEKEND BEFORE THAT WAS GREAT!! WE HAD A WONDERFUL FAMILY REUNION, HOSTED BY THE ROBERTSON FAMILY, IT WAS ALOT OF FUN AND CHEVY REALLY ENJOYED THAT THERE WAS SO MUCH FOR THE TEENAGERS TO DO-THANKS AUNT BECKY AND UNCLE PAUL, WE LOVE YOU BOTH FOR ALL THE EXTRA THAT YOU DO FOR OUR FAMILY!! WE WORKED IN OUR YARD ALOT THRU THE SUMMER, JUST TRYING TO GET SOME TREES AND LANDSCAPING DONE, THEN IT JUST GOT TO BUSY AND THE LAWN WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT SUMMER. JULY BROUGHT US A FEW HUNDRED TRIPS TO UTAH, WE CELEBRATED THE 4TH BY GOING TO KENNEDY'S BABY BLESSING, WE SHOPPED AND ATE GOOD FOOD, CHEVY WENT ON A TREK WITH OUR WARD AND HE WAS GREATLY BLESSED TO HAVE HIS TESTIMONY STRENGTHENED. CHEROKEE JUST PRETTY MUCH WORKED ALL SUMMER, AND HUNG OUT WITH FRIENDS. CASH DROVE ME CRAZY OF COURSE, HE THINKS IT IS COOL TO FOLLOW HIS FRIENDS DOWN THE ROAD, BUT AFTER A GOOD WHOOPIN, HE HAS BEEN PRETTY GOOD. CHEVY BUILT MARTY TO WORK BENCHES FOR HIS B-DAY, HE TURNED THE BIG 40 THIS YEAR!!! CHEVY DID A AWESOME JOB AND I THINK HE KINDA LIKED WORKING WITH HIS HANDS OTHER THEN VIDEO GAMES, HE GETS THAT WOOD WORKING FROM BOTH HIS GRANDPA'S. I TOOK THE KIDS TO UTAH IN AUGUST AND WE WENT TO A SWIMMING PARK, SHOPPING, THE ZOO, AND TO LAGOON. CONTESSA AND KENNEDY JOINED US FOR MOST OF IT AND IT WAS FUN TO BE WITH ALL MY KIDS. THANKS MARTY FOR WORKING SO HARD SO THAT WE CAN HAVE FUN!! WE WENT TO A FEW PLAYS AT ISLAND PARK THIS SUMMER, WENT OF SOME DRIVES, WENT TO THE DRIVE-IN AND REALLY JUST ENJOYED BEING WITH EACH OTHER. WE ALSO WENT TO A REUNION ON MY MOM'S SIDE THAT WAS FUN, IT IS WIERD TO SEE YOUR AUNTS THAT LOOK SO MUCH LIKE YOUR MOM!! WE LOST TO OF OUR LOVED ONES THIS SUMMER, MY UNCLE DIED AND MY SWEET NEWPHEW, WE WILL MISS THEM BOTH DEARLY, BUT WE KNOW THAT THEIR MISSION RIGHT NOW IS WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. WE ALSO LOST OUR SWEET LITTLE NOODLE DOG, HE RAN OUT IN FRONT OF A CAR AND WE HAD TO HAVE HIM PUT TO SLEEP, MY HEART HAS BEEN SO SAD, HE WAS LIKE ONE OF MY KIDS AND CHEVY AND ME MISS HIM GREATLY.
I HAVE BEEN DOING ALOT OF CANNING THIS SUMMER, JAMS AND SALSA, PEACHES AND I HOPE TO CAN SOME CORN BEFORE IT IS TO LATE!! THE KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL, CHEVY IS IN TENTH GRADE-HE JUST GOT HIS PERMIT AND IS WORKING HARD TO GET HIS OLD GMC DONE. HE IS SUCH A GOOD LOOKING KID AND HAS SUCH A BIG HEART!! CHEROKEE IS IN COLLEGE AND WORKS AND VOLUNTEERS AT THE HOSPITAL, SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS IN LIFE AND IS DETERMINED TO GET IT!! SHE IS DATING TRAVIS AGAIN, HE LEAVES ON HIS MISSION IN FOUR WEEKS, THOSE TO ARE JUST PEAS IN A POD!! CASH AND ME HAVE BEEN DOING PRESCHOOL IN OUR HOME, HE HAS SUCH A GOOD MEMORY, BUT HE IS MISCHIEVIOUS. HE RIPPED SOME OF OUR OLD VHS TAPES APART AND MARTY TOLD HIM THAT HE WANTED TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT, WELL CASH SIMPLY REPLIED THAT IT WASN'T A GOOD IDEA TO TALK. I HAVE BEEN WORKING LOTS ON MY CRAFTS AND LIFE HISTORY, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW TIME FLIES, SOMETIMES IT REALLY MAKES ME REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY. WELL I LOVE YOU ALL AND PRAY THAT YOUR HOMES ARE HAPPY, I HAVE TO GO CHASE DOWN CASH!! LOVE, C.
