Priceless Happenings

Pictures of Adam and "Prom" and Zoe....green belt bound.....

Wow, I was just catching up on my blog reading and came across NieNie. I found her one day on my friend Emily's blog and haven't been able to stop checking in. Her story has been so amazing. I just don't know what I would do if I were in a similiar situation. Would I be able to find the humorous side of it all or would I be a "wallower". Anyway, her post that hit me pretty good this week was on motherhood and the fact that her little boy didn't "want" her. She then went on to talk about how one night she went to check on him when he was upset and that unlocked the door. He let her hold him and snuggle. The other thing that got me this week was hearing of the accident in Montana. The small airplane crash that killed 3 families. I was thinking of the grandpa that had planned the trip and was looking forward to such a fun week of laughs, fun and giggles. What must be going through his mind as he was walking through the crash site....knowing th...

As some of you may know, my nephew Jimmy is serving as an MP in Iraq. I've been thinking of him a lot the past few days and was so excited to see that he has added some pictures to his myspace page of him and his buddies. Jimmy has been in Iraq since just a few weeks before Christmas. He will get to come home I believe in Nov. His wife Missi is in Ohio with their little girl Kendra. Kendra is just a little over a year old and carries her "daddy" bear all over the house. The main reason for this posting is that I just wanted to say how much I appreciate what our soldiers do for us everyday. It really bugs me when I hear or read something that says that these young men and women are stupid or uneducated and that they don't care about the people they are trying to protect. Most of them have hope for our world and believe that they can be of some small service in making it a better place. Some people may not agree with every reason why our soldiers are deployed bu...

Well, there's no reason to beat around the bush. Some of you already know but our "little" family is going to get a little bigger. We found out last week that we are expecting the last little Price. We knew when we decided to have Seth that we were going to have one more and this time it just took a little longer. Baby Price will make an appearance just before Halloween, Oct 23rd. We are getting excited and for the moment feeling good. We'll see how long that lasts. Can I just tell you how glad I am it is not going to be in November or December. LOL.

I saw this on my friend Trina's blog and thought it would be fun! The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: 1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! 2- What I create will be just for you. 3- It'll be done this year. 4- You have no clue what it's going to be. The catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!

Today we went as a BIG family to the Draper Temple Open House. Del's parents, Cheryl, Steve and my sis Liz and their families all went, 22 people. Since Mom and Dad were able to park closer to the temple we were actually seperated. Steve, Julie, Emma, Mom & Dad were able to go through a little faster than we did. We had to be bused over to the temple and didn't arrive until about 7pm. When we did get there it was dark so I was unable to take pictures. I've found a few on the news webpages to share. The Celestial Room...Isn't the ceiling beautiful??? The Baptismal Font My favorite room, the Garden Room. It made me feel like I was actually in the mural. I loved that there were so many animals to be found in the paintings....Elk, mountain goats, a cougar. Amazing and all handpainted. The temple was so beautiful. What a huge blessing to live where there are so many and to especially be able to take part in an Open House. The last open house I went to was fo...

Well, we were finally able to go and get a new family picture done. We haven't haven't had a new picture since Seth was just a few weeks old. We decided to do a casual picture this time round. I have to tip my hat to Del and the older boys for being such troopers. We went to Kiddie Kandids, where I normally do the little kids pics. It was a smaller sitting area so those long legs got a little cramped. The pictures turned out cute though. Seth would not smile to save his life. He just did a cute little pucker. When we were finished, he finally decided that he was going to smile and laugh. Little turkey!! After pictures, we headed over to Marie Callendars. Adam turned 17 yesterday and we have a tradition that the birthday person gets to pick a place they want to go for dinner. We had a lot of fun despite the rain. When I left for work, Del and the boys were braking out the Wii and getting ready for a night of fun. I am bummed that I missed it. Del called me around 1...
