P.S.

I'm also grateful for each new day that we have to try to do better at something.

Remembering Gratitude

Yes,it is important to remember your blessings --it gives us more of a sense of gratefulness in our lives and since everyone seems to have blogged about what they're thankful for --here goes:

I'm thankful for my family. I'm thankful that all of our sons and a daughter have truly found their eternal companions and I'm thankful for the sweet daughters and son that they are. I'm thankful for ALL of our family-even Amy with her struggles.I'm also very grateful for all of oour grandchildren!What a joy they are!

I'm thankful for the experiences that I have had in life and the lessons that I have learned.

I'm thankful for Utah and the opportunities that we enjoy here.

I'm thankful for the job that we have and our finacial situation.

I'm thankful for our home , food, and warm clothes., and cars.

I'm thankful for the teachings of the church--I don't know where I would be without it.(probably a bum!)I'm very grateful for the atonement and revelation that we receive daily????


I'M GRATEFUL FOR TAP!-IT MAKES ME HAPPY!


I'm grateful that we have people willing to sacrifice for us in the service to our U.S A.

Go Fish???

Yesterday dad and Scott went fishing again. ( Dad had heard that there were lots of fish in Scofield and many anglers caught alot, so they went) Dad and Scott were out there for 4-5 hours and didn't catch a thing, while the person next to them kept reeling them in-BIG ones too! How disgusting! I told them they need to take some fishing lessons--there is a real skill to it-- like getting out there early?! and maybe 'jerking' slightly when you get a nibble???(G'ma Tomlinson could have taught them a thing or too!)(The fish are probably laughing at them.)

I've been bitten too!!!

I've been bitten by the football game bug! I never thought that I would be a football fan--but I absolutely LOVE them.( I guess it comes from having 5 boys) It's all exciting-whether it's the Cougar band playing "Heyyyyy Baby!"; or Cosmo doing his tricks(last time he did about 10 front handstands in a row ( Iguess thats what you call them); or the cheerleaders doing their thing; or people just having fun(last game the kids in our section were throwing paper airplanes and having a contest to where they would land). And of course, there is the game (playing to a sellout crowd of 65,000 about) which is exciting in itself. It's just good clean fun!

P.S.(There's just something about being amongst people with all the same values.)

Conference Weekend

Conference Weekend, Jon and his family were up for a visit. We sure enjoyed them -Sam is a "corker". Kristen really had an influence on me to organize my drawers a little. "A place for everything and everything in it's place"

right?

Cousins--they sure had fun together--they love the built-in stereo place. It makes a nice little cubby just right for tots.

King of the Mountain!!!

Hmmm-the newspaper is really interesting today.

Fishing????

You call this fishing? Actually it was a great day in the moutains at Tibble. Scott, Britta, Sherri and I(DAD) went fishing on labor day. The water was low and the moss was thick. Dad caught one brown and we both caught lots of moss. Scott got the biggest...moss that is. Britta and Sherri laid around in the sun and read books.

Rainbows

We got rain! We got rainbows! Yeah!!! We got lightning and thunder!!! It really brought back memories of Utah before we moved. We sure love the mountains and the rain.

Catching up

This last week I hosted at Education Week at BYU--What a spiritual feast! (Actually the whole theme around the classes was :how to listen to the Spirit.)

Dad's birthday. His new leather computer case --with wheels!

Sarah's creative cake.

This is Scott in Amy's new car--which she bought.(She ran over a high median in the highway which she didn't see and popped her tires, broke her windshield and deployed her airbags. (She didn't realize how expensive a new car could be, but now she knows.)It's nice, don't you agree?

I got new batteries and let her take my camera to Lake Tahoe for Ashley Smith's wedding--hence,the pictures. Now you should see more blogs.

Class Reunion

Who are all those 'old' people? This is my graduating class at Valley High School in Ida. I think there were 54 who graduated in all.

'Little boy' Peterson

This is Jeff and Nettie's new bundle of joy.

Challenged

Sorry we don't blog more. Every time I go to use my camera, the batteries in it are exhausted! I don't even use it that much! I don't know what's up--guess I better read my manual if I can even find it!Sometimes posting pics is a pain--other times it goes very smoothly--I just need to use it more, I guess, so I can figure out what I'm doing.

New Home

This is our new home in Salem, Ut. We've been here for a week now and it is just begining to feel like we are not visiting! We still have alot of boxes out in the garage and the house is in shambles, but anyone is welcome anytime!

Yea-- mountains, and green grass and trees that are healthy!
